      I’m of a firm opinion that no game needs a remake. Fixing up old games so that they can be played on modern systems - yes please. Remaking the same game but “”“better”“” - no thanks, I’d rather see something original and new come out

      There are some exceptions like Pathologic 2 which is basically a remake but also a reimagining, but those are exceedingly rare.

        I’ll disagree a bit. Angel of Darkness should definitely have been a Remake.

        They must have put so much effort in to get that just as crappy as the original.

          New Vegas needs it to.

          I love the fuck out of the game, but its heavily handicapped by its need to fit within console limitations at the time of its release… Not only that, its just full of jank.

          A remaster is not capable of addressing the core issues that need addressing with New Vegas, especially with no source code.

          A remake is the only way to get a solid, amazing update to New Vegas that will endure for another 16+ years.

        and less loading screens, especially around new vegas, because they had to cater to the ram limits of the consoles at the time.

          going to the top of the lucky 38 and seeing absolutely nothing out the window was such a huge disappointment

          i figured since fo3 had the washington monument then surely new vegas would have a similar one

            the best thing about a remake for either Fallout 3 or New Vegas, it’d do a significant chunk of the work for remaking the other one.

            So having them bundled into one remake bundle would be fantastic.

            Probaly never happen, but a boy can dream.

              You expect an official release of Tale of Two Wastelands?

              Each game will be released separately for 70 dollars and will be disappointing.

                  That was more of a remaster than a remake. A remake would be making the game from scratch and could be expanded and/or changed. For example expanding the legion side of the map and making Ulysses into a companion instead of a villain. There’s so much cut content for New Vegas that you could remake the game and have it be distinct from the original.

                ??

                No?

                Yeah, I know. Thanks for ruining the fantasy.
