The creators call the mod a “total rebuild” and sees all of the quests and settings of Fallout 3 being transferred to Fallout: New Vegas and its engine, complete with the mechanics of New Vegas such as weapons modification, companion wheel, and more. Players can head from the Mojave and DC wastelands easily through the use of train stations. A group of modders have taken the two iconic games and meshed them together to form one mod, allowing players to experience both the the East and West side of the former United States and its vast wastelands. Spencer at least seems to understand largely what gamers want, and he seems to be directing first party studios in that direction (I mean, we're getting a new Fable after all).Fallout 3 changed the way players look at the Fallout franchise, and the title that arrived afterwards, Fallout: New Vegas, took this even further. The silver-lining is that with Bethesda now a first-party studio, making prestige products like single-player Fallout titles is much more likely than when they're left to their own devices (their own devices being 1: re-re-re-release Skyrim or 2: make an always online Fallout that nobody asked for). Shame, since that would have gotten me to buy FO4. The closest thing to a remake I've heard about was a fan effort to remake New Vegas using Fallout 4, but IIRC Bethesda kiboshed the whole thing.

At best, they might do a re-release like they did for the Xbox One, but it's sincerely doubtful that they'd actually do anything more than just make it run on newer consoles. The engine & many of the assets are already there, make it a DLC for fallout 76 & I'd bet a lot of people would stick around afterwards.Īt the risk of sounding like No Mutants Allowed, the older games are effectively dead to Bethesda/Microsoft. It would repair a lot of the reputational damage from fallout 76 & there would be plenty of people happy to pay 60$ for a tale of two wastelands.

Hell, if they gave the community permissions & assets it would be done in a year, for free. Has the recent purchase by Microsoft brought some renewed interest or manpower to Fallout 3 & New Vegas? The games very much deserve a remaster. This news gives me no rational reason to hope.
