There ’s been a lot of hubbub lately about Fallout remasters , with leaks and rumour going back to last year about a Fallout 3 remaking , and the tone ending of the Fallout 4 next - gen update of late . Particularly with the supply care drawn to the series thanks to the ( fantastic ) TV show , some are now also intelligibly calling for remasters of the games that started it all : Fallout and Fallout 2 . Well , I say let ’s take this political party one step further and go for remakes .
It ’s been said the originals should get theDiablo 2 : Resurrectedtreatment . I may be in the nonage here , but while visually the project was very telling , I could n’t stand how old the gamefeltto play . Movement and responsiveness are a huge part of the enjoyment of these game for me , and the remaster was simply clunky ( especially contrast with Path of Exile , which I play constantly ) .
revisit Fallout 1 acquire a similar touch , despite having played it not so long after its press release and ranking it in my top 10 all - time favourites . The game has aged remarkably well overall ( thanks in part to some resolution and UI option tot up in recent geezerhood to the GOG rendering that make it scale well on mod monitors ) , but things like not being able to expend WASD to pan the camera and camera panning in general come off outdated . The oldschool graphics , menus , sounds and so on still remain part of the magic spell , but even so I ’d enjoy to see it with a fresh coating of paint — under a different lens , so to talk , that takes advantage of modern technology .
Fallout 2 I act as little of , but in many ways , it ’s more of the same great formula , and one I definitely want to clear out of my ever - growing reserve sooner than subsequently . But much as I ’d wish that to happen , I fight to justify it when so many smashing modern titles clamour for my attention ( some of them even in the Fallout franchise ) . Enter : remaking .
Wasteland 3 is the prime example of the appealingness such remaking could have . Quite a successful biz absolutely , though still not on the level it should be make this is the dealership that inspired Fallout in the first place , and it ’s as well - made as you could maybe hope for if you ’re into post - apocalyptic isometric RPGs . If you have n’t had the delight , the plot has all the furnishing of Fallout : the ironic humour , buffet surround , wide miscellanea of guns , skill arrangement , and so on , but with a fresh coat of rouge that makes it accessible and enjoyable reasonably like what Baldur ’s Gate 3 manage . I ’d go so far as to say it ’s Fallout in almost all but name .
But as with all great thing , there ’s always an appetency for more , so after Wasteland 3 developer InXile wraps up Clockwork Revolution , we can hope Bethesda hit out to commission these remake , sort of like how it did with Fallout : New Vegas . Granted , Bethesda decline multiple Fallout pitches from New Vegas studio Obsidian in the class since , so despiteprofessing its love of the biz and receptiveness to collaboration , actions mouth louder than intelligence , leaving fans with less hope than they ’d like .

In any case , InXile is the best studio apartment for the caper , give it ’s under the Microsoft banner alongside Bethesda , has proven its nerve with Wasteland 2 and Wasteland 3 , and some of its team worked on the original Fallout and Wasteland games ( namely Brian Fargo ) . If that ’s not a perfect CV , nothing is . Obsidian Entertainment of course is a close runner up what with its own share of original talent and meatier , grainy title like column of Eternity 2 : Deadfire in its catalog ( as led by the reverence Josh Sawyer , who seems to be free at the mo ) , and also being under big daddy Microsoft . If fans are bless enough to have either of these two tackle the projects , Fallout fans will continue to eat good .
Update : The studio apartment ’s Twitter history has answer to this piece , indicating it ai n’t happening . How about it , Obsidian ?
thanks but we ’re make our own games
