The Big Man and Garrett introduce a new column on their site, Games You Probably Like, But Shouldn't. In this edition is Fallout 3. A well balanced game that feels far too much like Oblivion to be so popular.
Fallout 3 game designer Bruce Nesmith explains that the upcoming remaster should revise the game's gunplay to be more modern.
Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements
I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed
Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.
The rumoured Fallout 3 Remaster is still in development, but it will be years until fans get to play it on new platforms.
Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.
***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***
I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.
Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.
Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.
It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.
They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.
The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.
I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.
Fallout: Yesterday is the re-imagining of the cancelled Fallout 3 game, and it looks awesome.
Ummmm ok.
I'm loving the game. This is only my second RPG (Mass Effect being the first) that i've played and i'm starting to finally enjoy the genre. I haven't played Oblivion but I might be tempted to if I want more Fallout with different scenery. Best $45 on a Collectors Edition i've ever spent. Well, it is my only CE, but still.....
I don't think anyone ever disagreed that it was basically Oblivion with guns. It also offers a completely different, detailed setting in the city of decimated DC and other areas.
What's also cool?
The massive f*ck off guns. :D
That's enough for some people and I can't blame them. It may not be as in depth as TES imo, but boy does it feel refreshing to solve your problems with buckshot in an RPG.
