7 years after it was announced, The Elder Scrolls 6 is ‘still a long way off’, Todd Howard says | VGC

The Elder Scrolls 6 will be Bethesda Game Studios’ next major release…

One of the "other things" Howard is referring to, VGC understands, is a remaster of Fallout 3, similar to this year's The Elder Scrolls Oblivion: Remastered.

Nice, hope they do the same for first two, never had the chance to play them

I really hope this is true. Fallout 3 is amazing but it's really tough to play nowadays with how dated the visuals are.


Also hope it's not far off. A release before, during, or right after season 2 of the Fallout TV series would be awesome.

This has reportedly been in development for a while, it was first mentioned in the same breath as the Oblivion remaster in the Zenimax docs circa 2022.

Let's see how far this is. I was hoping they would have announced it and have it ready by the time of the show's second season, but it looks like that ain't happening

When I think FO3, Grey, Green, and Brown comes to mind. Hopefully they add a few more colors.

Added dark green

Bro .. you *know* there will be a very loud vocal minority complaining about it here if they see a single color more than the original's color palette.

Well, Oblivion was a shadow drop and Todd Howard just said it was a success and they'd like to replicate that. So the idea of a Fallout 3 "out now" announcement isn't crazy.

Maybe The Game Awards...

"Similar to this year's The Elder Scrolls Oblivion: Remastered"? So another UE5 remake running on top of Gamebryo?

I can smell the stuttering from here.

It still blows my mind that we got Oblivion, Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Skyrim in the span of 5.5 years. A new open-world Bethesda/Obsidian game every 15 months or so.

But honestly, Fallout 3 is really begging for a remaster. It was a GREAT game in 2008, but it has not aged well. It's ugly as hell and doesn't really play on modern PCs without serious modding. Plus, only being able to properly shoot via VATS is annoying.

I loved it in 2008 and it's been long enough since I played it that it would be like a totally new experience for me. Especially with newly updated visuals. I just hope they give it a little more visual flavor than the Oblivion remake, which looks so bland and is devoid of any art direction.

Fallout 3 looks fine on Series X. If you want to see truly ugly, load up New Vegas.

Damn shame New Vegas only got the FPS boost, not a resolution boost like FO3.

I've tried to go back and play them but man those interfaces have not aged well and just feels so clunky to me. It could really use a glow up.

 

[NeverYouMind]

It should have been New Vegas.

 

[The_hunter]

It's an ok fallout game, not the best in the series. The sense of desolation is strong in that game.

I would have proffered New Vegas. Maybe after Fallout 3 remake, they can asset flip the New Vegas remake.

Gamebryo magic for ya. It's basically the "same game" with a skin over it. nop, Skyrim was already on CE

They are probably going for the UE5 graphics with gamebryo running under it again.

 

[Senua]

Remake the first two you cowards

Let's hope it's not as badly optimized as Oblivion.

 

[Chuck Berry]

I replayed it sometime during COVID BC on my S and thought it ran and looked great still to me. Bought some of the DLC as well. I think it holds wonderfully and have always preferred it to 4 and even NV.

I too hope they keep that original color palette as well. Something about all those browns and greys and black just gives it that certain tone and character (not to mention the nostalgia rush).

Fuck I love it. Have the lunchbox and bobblehead still too. Definitely would be another situation where I'd fake sick and jet out of work the moment it was announced (if they dropped it just liked Oblivion).

 

[Xavier2337]

Will they keep the tenpenny tower quest? It's basically Europe in-game

 

[NeverYouMind]

I want to personally thank Virtuous for helping make Oblivion great and making Snake Eater bearable by modern standards.

P.S. Sadly, I think their talent is wasted on Fallout 3.

Yeah the visual design was nasty. I played with mods on PC to remove the piss filter + add trees/foliage. It looked so much better.

 

[DanEON]

Nice. I really want to play it!!!
