Yeah, it's weird the way 3 holds up much better, maybe it had more time for polish?

Give us ultra wide, 120fps+ RT and
Improved textures across the board that don't unnecessarily eat up resources. Bethesda are legendary for coming out with unoptimized, huge texture packs that barely even move the proverbial needle.

Was hyped for a remaster last year but no longer. I just want Remakes or brand new games now as Remaster isn't a big enough difference for me to be interested in anymore. Plus all the mods I have for my Fallout 3 probably won't work on this remaster either. Not to mention just like Oblivion Remaster, it won't come with a creation kit.

Fallout 3 got a res bump and is native 4k on Series X, New Vegas is still 720p.

I remember playing this on PS3 and while it ran absolutely horrible, the game was amazing. Looking forward to the remaster.

2 > NV > 1 > 3 > 4
I would still get this, especially on the s2
Haven't replayed this game in a very long time whereas I revisit NV pretty regularly

I don't know the status of the project, but there was a huge mod in development called Fallout 4: New Vegas, where they… you can probably guess. It looks like the project is dead, with some of the elements released as standalone mods being the only thing we saw.

This is my most anticipated game, really. Such a classic masterpiece and I can't understand why people prefer New Vegas. I really, really hope they release it on any form - I'll play the crap out of it.

It's a better RPG, that's why.

It is the better RPG, but FO3 has a better open world and atmosphere.
Ultimately, both are great and the last two great FO games. Both deserve a full remake.

I always thought FO3 was 10x better than New Vegas, and people only said they preferred New Vegas because Obsidian was a cooler developer to say you liked.

And far better writing. And a more balanced game (not perfect though, specially with dlcs, but the Sawyer's "unofficial fix" help with that). And the closest 3D Fallout game to the classics spirit.
I don't see the point of a remaster btw. They're both avaliable on stores and they're playable. What real benefit would they have? Breaking mod compatibility on the pc version?

I have wanted a Fallout 3 and New Vegas remaster for years. For fucking years....
It was the most obvious no brainer and would have been the FIRST thing I had comissioned once I had acquired Bethesda under Microsoft.
After all their recent disasters and fuck ups Fallout 4 Anniversary and the performance disaster that is Oblivion Remastered....does ANYONE seriously expect these to come out good?

I dunno....maybe for the fact that neither game is playable on modern consoles like PS4/PS5 or Switch 1/2
200M+ fucking systems out in the blue that don't have either Fallout 3 or New Vegas....
Somehow...you don't see the point...

I would have expected there would have been "gentlemen's agreements" between MS and Bethesda during acquisition talks that those remasters we all expected would be coming down the line relatively quickly. Especially since the show was already kind of in the works too.
You as the gaming enthusiast expected Phil Spencer and his team to have their finger on the pulse in any way…. And we continue to be wrong again and again haha. Fucking crazy man. An 8 hour a week player of games could steer this ship better

I didn't know the game isn't avaliable or retrocompatible with modern consoles. Anyway this is more Bethesda's fault because lack of availability than the need of a remaster like the Oblivion one though.I dunno....maybe for the fact that neither game is playable on modern consoles like PS4/PS5 or Switch 1/2

Agree. The world in FO3 is just amazing. Felt so good traveling on foot from place to place. Except for when you encounter Deathclaws or giant ants (that fucking noise)

cmon papito , for an open world action RPG it looked good at the time 2008

I have to agree as well. It looked neat for a 2008 open-world game. I certainly remember it being quite atmospheric at times. Much more so than New Vegas. However, New Vegas is still the better and more interesting game.

Disagree. NV has complete freedom and you're never more than 30 seconds from an interesting location. 3's main city is a clusterfuck with walled off areas and only subway systems connecting them.
3 needs the remake more, the game is buggy as hell on pc. NV has been kept alive by the love of fans, the Viva New Vegas guide provides enough stability improvements to make the game playable.

I don't believe the rumour it will get shadow dropped at the end of the tv series but i would love it to turn out to be true, it's been far too long for any SP games from Bethesda to be released new or remaster, no need for these decade long dev times. MTX are the bane of the games industry

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
For an X360/PS3 game, with that kind of open world, it was good. Obviously linear games like Uncharted, Gears 2/3 etc would look much better but the scale/scope of a Bethesda game in that gen was practically unmatched on console.

Hopefully it runs better than the oblivion remaster

I have a PC and I would jump on this day one. A fully modded Fallout 3 on PC is still outdated as fuck

It looked ugly AND beautiful at the same time.
Same with Fallout 4 honestly.

This is something PC peebs never talk about.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas are GREAT on PC...when modded. Unmodded, the PC versions are still rather poor and for all the mumbo jumbo about the modding community most pc players will just download the Steam version and play the vanilla version.
While it's certainly true that the PC will provide the best experiences for these games, getting to the ultimate experience on that platform is not easy for a novice PC gamer.
That is why they need remasters.
I am just not looking forward to more Unreal Engine remasters like we got from Oblivion.

Agree to disagree.
The open world in 3 is a masterpiece. I loved the subway. You never knew what was waiting when you came out. The whole map was dripping with atmosphere. Fucking perfection
I'd helicopter my dick until it sprained if they announce a remake.

Yeah, NV feels like the Temu version of FO3 to me, and the environments and world building in FO3 is just light years ahead.
Sloppy knock-off.

Fallout 3 was my first Fallout, and maybe my favourite game ever when it released. Then New Vegas came along, and it was okay but a much less interesting place to explore, endless talking, and all those wacky factions who I never really cared about. I think I ended up just shooting most of them so I wouldn't have to listen to them.
But then gatekeepers who claimed to have played the first two Fallout games started saying New Vegas was the only true 3D Fallout, and Bethesda getting hold of the series was the worst thing that happened to it. And that's still the narrative to this day, even though to me New Vegas is little more than a janky Fallout 3 mod / total conversion.

When does the new season of the shitty show end? Should we be hoping/expecting for a shadow drop then?

I thought S1 was solid, not started S2 yet.

I would be more interested in New Vegas remaster / remake. I tried playing the Xbox 360 version using BC and the graphics are absolutely dogshit. I mean I usually don't care if the gameplay is (still) good, but I have limits, especially after seeing how good Fallout 3 (from the same X360) can look after small upgrades.

Remember at the end of the game where you have to enter a tank full of deadly radiation to save the wasteland, and your super mutant companion who is immune to radiation refused to do it for you?
Has the stink of that dumbass head writer at Bethesda all over it.

Because I don't do tv shows based on videogames, no matter how much praise is received. I gave TLOU a shot for two eps and noped out like the sanest person in the room. Fallout looks like CW garbage and I think Goggins is one of the most overrated actors of the last decade.

So you didn't watch it?
Shame, it's good and Ella Purnell is superb.
Also, it's not like TLOU as it's not following a standard story from the game.

Ill never watch it. Why bother, when I can just jump into that world myself and become a part of it any time I want?
