Todd Howard says Bethesda won't be remaking the first Fallouts because 'some of the charm of games from that era is a little bit of that age'

Translation : Interplay's games were better than the ones we made but i don't want to admit it
Mf couldn’t do modern era right (repeated attempts, mind you) and only has that nostalgic ground to stand on, of course they wouldn’t shit there too lmao
Sure, but like...would it really be the end of the world if it got controller support? I'm far more comfortable on controller than I am on mouse and keyboard, largely because I work on mouse and keyboard all day.
It would be very difficult to control a game like Fallout 1 with a conventional controller, but if you really need it you can use DOSBox, which has controller support. The Retroarch core is probably the easiest to use and setup, I am not sure about the standalone version, but it is probably similar.
What I need is a larger UI so I can fucking see what the hell I'm doing. I got like 6.25 glasses and astigmatism, and I guess I should qualify as having a visual impairment because fallout 1 is unplayable
Yeah, being able to zoom in and out and scale the UI would be huge quality of life improvements. Maybe even make the Pip Boy map slightly more usable.
Well support might not be an option but have you considered/tried something like xpadder? I had to use it to map keyboard buttons to a controller for gameboy emulators a couple years ago. Might do the trick.
Write a mod. Or pay someone to.
Also, they don't have full ownership of those games.
Good. Leave them be, Howard.
He's too busy working on the next skyrim release anyway.
What he's really saying he wants to do is wait to see how successful FO5 turns out and then maybe release them later when the work will have already been done by hackers.
The subtext is Todd is too afraid to remake that porn studio in Fallout 2, that was there for some reason.
what a bunch of bullshit. These games are still good now because they are timeless. the only thing of its era in these games is some of the bugs and the visuals; which a remake should fix. Honestly the only reason i would even want a remake is because i constantly get graphical glitches in the original releases and because i want a lot of the bugs fixed that aren't even fixed through community patches
He said exactly that...
A remaster can certainly help with modernising some aspect, but ehh people been asking for a remake so i get where he's coming from.
I think when people ask for a remake they usually just mean a remaster, anyway. Unfortunately in practice they have different meanings. 🤔
Like, I don't want the games remade in a different vision with changes to plot, characters, or dialogue; I want the same games just brought up to modern standards. So technically, I want remasters.
the bugs and the visuals; which a remake should fix.
It's Bethesda. They'll introduce more bugs, and I'm not talking about rad scorpions
Oh yeah, because the Bethesda of today would totally not fuck it up sunshine hehue
I imagine there are a few mod remakes of them already in the works.
You can still run Fallout 1 and 2 on modern hardware. Maybe not the original disks, but a remake wouldn't fix that anyways.
A remake would involve redoing nearly everything in the base game in a new engine. You're likely thinking of a remaster, which brings it up to modern hardware without rebuilding the whole thing.
A remake isn't needed for fallout 1 or 2
If Todd could find a way to monetize them he would remake them. $7 to let DogMeat live
Fortnight dances, only $7 to floss.
Game Pass exclusive mission.
Fallout 1st support for increased inventory (also, severely reduced inventory for non-Fallout 1st players).
