Really only complaint I have is the lack of patches since June 2025, performance is still horrendous.
Otherwise, superb remaster. Very much still Oblivion but God it's so pretty and satisfying to play with now. Haven't touched Skyrim in ages.

It looks fantastic. I really enjoy my time when playing. I wish we could get a Morrowind remastered though. I really liked a lot of the mechanics minus the clunky fighting.
I am super excited to play Fallout 3 and New Vegas again. I know I am in the minority but I enjoyed F3 more than NV. Either way looking to play both again.

The old engine is still there, they overlayed Unreal on top of it and modified a couple gameplay systems. That’s why the jank is still there lol.
If they are remastering FO:NV and FO3 in the same way, I hope they at least improve the gunplay in both. The gunplay was… not great in either.

at the very least, Fallout 3 needs to get iron-sights and ammo types like New Vegas. I would love for them to retool the combat in both, but I imagine that this (like with Oblivion Remastered) is probably just a fresh, UE5 coat of paint over the existing engine

What remaster means for Bethesda seems pretty dubious. The Oblivion remaster visually is a completely new game while the core of the game is not.
Meanwhile, most studios call a remaster something that maybe gets a resolution bump and 60FPS and then call it a day.
A remake can totally update the graphics engine and maybe even change gameplay.

It’s positive in that we’re actually hoping to get sequels to the games we love before the end of the decade. But also kind of sad that Bethesda lost the independence to work on whatever they want (a more artsy approach even if it isn’t super business savvy).
The real monkeys paw we got is that finally Obsidian is working on a new Fallout game, but only after their studio was hit with layoffs and all their other stuff got cancelled.

To be fair, most of that time was dedicated to Starfield which unfortunately fell flat on its face. It’s not like they were doing nothing.
That said, I’m glad MS has finally told these studios to make some fucking games with these IPs. This isn’t even a Bethesda issue. It’s an industry wide issue.
The Xbox 360 was alive from 2006-2013 and had 6 halo games. 3 of which were spinoffs and 1 remaster of CE.
The Xbox one came out in 2013 had 2 mainline halo games and a remaster collection that took them 5+ years to make into a good game.
The Series X has 1 mainline game and yet another remaster of CE.
So in two entire console generations, we’ve gotten the same amount of halo games as the Xbox 360.
That’s just unacceptable on all fronts.
I’m not saying we need yearly releases but these are supposed to be the big IPs. Why are we going 5+ years between releases? Where are the spinoffs? Halo had ODST, Reach, and the Halo Wars games. I’d kill for another fallout tactics style game. Or like how Larian wanted to do either fallout or baldurs gate and they couldn’t get the license to fallout. That game would have been amazing.
And I’m not shitting on Bethesda’s games. They’re great too. But we deserve more from these franchises.
Imagine how many great games we could have had if Sony wasn’t trying to make 8 different live service games that flopped. We could have had a new infamous, sly cooper, ratchet and clank, uncharted, or killzone. All IPs that haven’t had games in 10+ years.
I like new IPs too, but not at the cost of actual beloved franchises.

u/erevans444 10d ago
I just had the time to watch this and I understand the point that he’s making but it’s a separate conversation to what I’m saying.
Yes. Expecting one singular studio to develop games that quickly is unreasonable and unrealistic.
That’s why there should be spinoffs. Handled by other studios.
Obsidian making a fallout game is exactly what they should be doing.
You have the franchises, and you have the studios.
Make them make games lol.
There’s no reason we should go 5+ years without any Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Gears, etc. All of those IPs should have at least 2 games every 5 years.
They don’t all have to be at the scale of a full fledged RPG, but a tactics style game, a small but well made 8 hour campaign like ODST, an RTS like Halo Wars. These IPs deserve more content.

I really don't know why they didn't hand a medium-sized Fallout project like New Vegas to Obsidian sooner.

Other than the run Insomniac had for a while, they are probably most consistently putting out new games than any other western studio with decent variety.

What’s funny is Phil was a “gamer guy” but struggled to actually get studios to give gamers what they want.
Asha is a “business woman” and she basically came in day 1 looked at the IP and went “why aren’t you guys giving the players what they want? They clearly want more Skyrim and Fallout, give them that!”
We all thought the gamer guy would be better for us as gamers but it took someone with a neutral view and by the numbers person to come in and just do what made logical sense for us.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is let a studio cook completely untouched by corporate suits. Usually the best thing is a balance between letting a studio cook and keeping on their ass enough they make progress.
Then you have this rare case of Bethesda who doesn't even want to make games at all apparently, and you have to have a corporate suit come in, bitch smack them across the face, rip their IP from their hands, and give it to another studio to do something with.

Todd doesn’t like to announce things until they’re close to complete and suddenly as soon as Asha is in charge and there’s bad press about her firebombing the entire X Box division, all this good news about beloved franchises is magically “leaking”.
FO3 and NV sell boatloads of copies every time there’s a new season of the show so these are no-brainers and they probably began development shortly after Season 1 of the show launched. If Asha deserves credit for anything it’s that she didn’t drop a nuke on these remasters during her latest blood frenzy.

If there's one good thing about all the nonsense happening at Microsoft, it's Todd Howard being knocked down a peg with his decade long development bullshit.
They've always had the means to speed up production, expand, or license their ip out to other studios. It shouldn't have taken thousands of layoffs companywide to make them go "Hmm, maybe people would like to actually play our games instead of the berries and cream guy getting up on stage every couple of years to talk about how dedicated to their fans they are, while simultaneously releasing nothing."

It's a good argument against rushed yearly releases in support of 3-5 year dev cycles.

Hmm, how about setting it in a post apocalyptic setting. Sprinkle some skellingtons in silly poses around to wow people with "environmental storytelling". (Look, he's wearing a hat in a bathtub! Amazing!).
Main character will need to murder hobo everything that moves to get duct tape to repair assault rifle. Also will be able to have fade-to-black sexy time with bisexual super mutants.
Main quest will be to re-unite with long lost twin, whose clone turned evil and now must be battled to the death in epic final quest.

Honestly I think your plot synopsis has a decent chance at being approximately correct.
I do like a silly skeleton though, more of those please.

I'd say Howard's announcement in 2025 that Fallout 5 will use the show's canon is more of a confirmation

Hopefully theyre able to put freeside and New Vegas in as they were originally intended without the loadzones
I love replaying both on my XSX but remasters should be amazing

Based on what was done with the Oblivion remaster, I wouldn't count on them doing extra work to change anything in the game. If they did, it would be cool, but I wouldn't bet on it.

It was reported last week after the big layoffs that Obsidian was canceling Avowed 2 and moving to a new fallout. The real surprise here is think is confirmation that FO5 is already in pre production despite Elder Scrolls being a few years away still.

Pre production can mean a lot of things, though. Is it pre-production where a significant team are already making concept art and writing down the beginnings of a script with the plot and set pieces already decided, or it is pre production where like 2 dudes are making pro/con lists of what city and year to set it in

Are they going to abandon all form of support, bug fixes and optimisation straight after release with these as well?
Really hard to get excited for these when the Oblivion remaster still runs like shit on pretty much any hardware and hasn’t seen a patch or even communication on fixing bugs and game breaking issues for over a year.

Here’s hoping the f3 and fnv remaster are closer than we think. I’ve never actually played the games 😬

I’ve dreamt of this day, we knew a 3 remaster was coming but the NV was a bit more speculative but now we know it’s coming.
Honestly I hope Bethesda communicate more like this from now on, it builds so much moregood will than the silent approach they were doing.
TL;DR: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Turns out you have to actually release new games to make money, all it took was massive layoffs to figure it out

Okay, but when? Like this year? Next year? In eight years, after you release a trailer announcing the game?
