Todd Howard says Bethesda won't be remaking the first Fallouts because 'some of the charm of games from that era is a little bit of that age' (www.pcgamer.com)

what a bunch of bullshit. These games are still good now because they are timeless. the only thing of its era in these games is some of the bugs and the visuals; which a remake should fix. Honestly the only reason i would even want a remake is because i constantly get graphical glitches in the original releases and because i want a lot of the bugs fixed that aren't even fixed through community patches

He said exactly that...

A remaster can certainly help with modernising some aspect, but ehh people been asking for a remake so i get where he's coming from.

I think when people ask for a remake they usually just mean a remaster, anyway. Unfortunately in practice they have different meanings. 🤔

Like, I don't want the games remade in a different vision with changes to plot, characters, or dialogue; I want the same games just brought up to modern standards. So technically, I want remasters.

Look, I wouldn't mind a remake in whatever gamebryo engine they're using today but my confidence in their ability to accurately portray the originals without missing out on the intricacies of them isn't particularly high.

To name two off the top of my inebriated head; becoming a pornstar and murdering children are two things I can't see Bethesda including in a remake of Fallout 2.

It's Bethesda. They'll introduce more bugs, and I'm not talking about rad scorpions
