    “Fallout is the big one,” Middler claimed. “There are multiple Fallout projects in development, including, as far as I’m aware, that one that I’m sure you’re all wanting. It’s not far enough in along to say anything like ‘you’re going to be playing this game anytime soon’.”

    Middler then joked, “Anyway, New Vegas 2, coming soon”. Is this the one we’re “all wanting”? Yes, but then also so is Fallout 3 Remastered, Fallout 5 and even a remake of Fallout 2. The fanbase is rabid, and hungry, and it’s been a long time since they’ve been fulfilled outside of Fallout 76 updates.

    I mean, if Bethesda released all four of those, I’d buy all four.

    I also don’t know what “Fallout 3 Remastered” entails, but if it means forward-porting the content to Starfield’s engine, that’d be pretty cool, though I do wonder how much effort will be required for mod-porting.

      I think all their previous games will eventually get the Oblivion Remaster treatment. So a frankenstein’d UE5 renderer + gamebyro backend.

      I’m rabid and hungry because Bethesda has fucked up everything they’ve touched lately and I want something that makes me feel like how old Bethesda games did. Give me Morrowind remaster damnit, and Bethesda didn’t even make Fallout 2 and NV they’d butcher remaster/remakes

        Morrowind remake should have come before Oblivion. I deeply wish to experience Morrowind again with updated graphics.

        I suspect that it is considerably harder to do because of the engine and requires nearly a full remake.

          Bethesda could earn a significant amount of goodwill back by simply using OpenMW on a Morrowind Remaster and helping with its development, even if only for a year.

            That makes zero business sense. Bethesda would never make money on throwing away thousands or tens of thousands of man-hours on that. They would spend more on a remaster, but they would make money in the end.

            The Oblivion remaster sold more in two weeks than Oblivion made in a year. It sold more copies in April alone than the original did in 15 months.

            Those graphics are ass compared to what could be done today. Just look in the leap from Oblivion to the remaster. Morrowind making a jump in graphics would be monumental.
