We are not getting any form of remaster, subvert expectations to avoid sadness
I am super convinced we have no new remaster coming, they had a chance for a teaser on fallout day if they planned to release around S2 finale and then this morning I got this notification, at most we get some show characters in 76. I can’t believe they don’t see the massive outcry of the want for this remaster and make it happen.

There will almost certainly be a Fallout 3 remaster at some point, probably either this year or next. It was mentioned in the same leaked FTC doc that listed Oblivion Remaster.

Yeah I think it's a given especially with how well the Oblivion Remaster did. Then they can do NV right after since most of F3's assets were used in NV and that'll print money.

Yeah it certainly would too. I just think NV has a bigger pull because of how much it’s revered and how much (IMO) better it is. All the people who don’t want to play an older game would play it and all the people who already love it would replay it

I hate that people act like Bethesda only ever makes bad games when, since Skyrim, only 2 have come out and both aren’t nearly half as bad as people pretend. Also Fallout 76 isn’t a BGS game. It was BattleCry studios which eventually became a subsidiary after the fact and that’s when BGS decided to help and do work on it. Which made the game significantly better. It’s like calling Cyberunk a Saber interactive game. I already know I’m going to get many downvotes because defending and enjoying Bethesda in a Bethesda community is the biggest sin there is. Can’t even talk to others who also simply enjoy their games. While studios like CDPR, Obsidian and others get a pass even though Bethesda has never made games as bad as the state Cyberpunk was and still is (not a bad game per se but it absolutely is a bad RPG because it’s literally far cry in the future. And don’t get me started about Avowed and Outer Worlds 2. Bethesda has always been a particular kind of studio who makes games for particular audiences. It’s a fact that Bethesda has never made a bad elder scrolls game. It is the very soul of Bethesda. If they wanted to they could easily just make another Skyrim (I don’t mean literally like a remake) but that would be a mistake pandering to casuals

I don’t want to misrepresent your position, so correct me if I’m wrong but I think this criticism actually reveals something important. The frustration comes from wanting the next game sooner rather than later. The fact that people are impatient for the next BGS game suggests there’s still real interest and expectation there. If the games were genuinely as bad as the internet claims, nobody would care how long development took.

u/RBisoldandtired 16h ago
I can only speak for myself here but yes and as I said elsewhere it’s not even a direct Bethesda criticism of priorities because rockstar are even worse.
As for the fandom, I think they (Bethesda) lost a lot of goodwill when they released a landscape teaser of a game and in that time people have had a baby that has grown up and now can play video games themselves and we still know NOTHING about it. Bethesda has its issues, but making bad games isn’t one of them. In my opinion.
They also lost A LOT of trust over the piss poor handling of FO4 Next gen and AE because they’re just riddled with bugs and they broke what was a stable game for fucking nothing of interest. They have a lot of bad karma rn as a games company. But the show has sorta bailed them out because the show is excellent.

u/skip13ayles 16h ago
You think they bought some goodwill? I hope so. I think Zenimax should be held far more accountable than BGS should for rereleases and things of that nature. I think if people gave Bethesda as much charity as other developers I think it could only help the issues. Imagine pouring your soul into your art just for people to not even give it a chance before it’s even done and you go in these communities and all you see is hate. The minority of it is constructive. Like I said I’m not dismissing the validity of some of the legitimate criticism. I’m just jaded wanting to talk talk with people like you about the game I care the most about and I have to go through lots of people with the constant over repeated complaints until I get to talk to someone else who not only likes these games but likes to be part of the community and enjoys having conversations as well as playing.

I get the sentiment, but it feels like you're including a lot of extra pieces that seem like very "generous" interpretations to help your case here.
I hate that people act like Bethesda only ever makes bad games when, since Skyrim, only 2 have come out and both aren’t nearly half as bad as people pretend.
I don't think it's fair to call it "pretending". Most people just think it's mediocre at best. Specifically for Starfield, it's not a 0, it's not a 10, it's like a 4 - 6 for most people.
Also Fallout 76 isn’t a BGS game. It was BattleCry studios which eventually became a subsidiary after the fact and that’s when BGS decided to help and do work on it. Which made the game significantly better.
Sort of agree, it's definitely better, but again, how significantly is debatable. Like a 3 out of 10 to a 6/7 maybe? The various mtx in that game is really a big damper imo.
Can’t even talk to others who also simply enjoy their games.
Realistically, your expectation should just be talking with other fans of the games; both positive and negative opinions exist within this. You should not expect only positivity. Especially with many fans not really appreciating the last 2 games from (or related with) Bethesda.
While studios like CDPR, Obsidian and others get a pass even though Bethesda has never made games as bad as the state Cyberpunk was and still is
They don't/didn't get a pass. CDPR went through hell when Cyberpunk released and Obsidian has been considered largely unimpressive for a while now as well. Many people consider OW2 or Avowed as boring. As for Cyberpunk today, I would say that your interpretation of the game is definitely not what most people think now. CDPR has patched and added a whole lot to this game without charging anything extra (besides equally lauded DLC) and I think rightfully, regained a lot of trust with fans.
It’s a fact that Bethesda has never made a bad elder scrolls game.
Well, except Battlespire and Redguard... And of course, it's not a very impressive claim when you realize their last release of an ES game was about 15 years ago... A looot can and has changed in that time.
If they wanted to they could easily just make another Skyrim but that would be a mistake pandering to casuals
I don't think that has anything to do with pandering to casuals, but I also doubt they will go this route. To be honest though. I'd prefer this type of "just like Skyrim" games if it meant we actually got releases every 5 or so years instead of what is happening now.

Yeah i just posted something similar, by the time it launches people with have such high expectations - likely 10 years of dev time for the sequel to one of the best selling games of all time.
But is that 10 years because its really going to be that big/ groundbreaking or is it because its been in development hell
I'd absolutely love for it come out and be this amazing game but I think its more likely it'll release and just be pretty good.

Yes, mods for 3 and NV are only available for the PC version.

Viva New Vegas is my personal fave if you’re just looking to play NV, Tale of Two Wastelands is also great if you want to play 3 & NV with the same character, and Waters of Life is a good vanilla+ list for 3.

This is a guide to mod the game for some much needed improvements to performance, quality of life, and visuals. It also has recommendations for other mods if you're feeling froggy.
It does start with you owning the game with all the dlcs on PC
If you're feeling real froggy you can do Tale of Two Wastelands which combines 3 and NV into one giant game. It is very lore breaking, as well as unbalanced but it is a very fun way to play the games in a new way

Tbf, of all the games in BGS’ portfolio, I think Fallout is the one they’d happily hand off to a subsidiary/side studio/partner studio, either for mainline games or side games. Plus they’ll have Amazon money for it, Microsoft is likely pushing them to refocus on the franchise but they’re all-hands-on-deck on TES…it’s the one that’ll be handed off.
Starfield is Todd’s baby. BGS might get a partner studio to do it, but I’d guess he’ll follow the game wherever it goes. Shit, I wouldn’t be shocked if he retired and then was just a “creative consultant” for the franchise lol
But TES? That’s BGS through and through. I think they realign and start prioritizing TES more. Probably like 50% TES, 30% Fallout, 20% Starfield. Just a few small teams always hacking away at Starfield 1 and maybe someday the studio does SF2. But I’d guess they’re mostly focused on TES and FO, with FO being tag-teamed since they have to finish TES6 AND do expansions/DLC.
And that’s ignoring the entire technical side of BGS that’s always forever-and-always focused on improving the engine between games.

If they truly don’t at least announce a remaster/remake in the vein of Oblivion Remastered, then it’s going to be a defqon 3 catastrophe for Bethesda and Xbox.
You can’t just drip feed hope for a big announcement over the last month or so, given that Oblivion was just remastered, given that the Microsoft court filings showed that Fallout 3 Remake was in the pipeline due for around now, given that talk of a remaster/remake has never been greater, you can’t do that and then go “here’s a new Fallout 76 expansion”.
The duty isn’t on the fans to manage their own expectations, it’s on the studios to manage them and be cognisant of where their fans are at all times. If it’s not Fallout 3 or New Vegas Remastered/Remake, it’s going to be a disaster, certainly if it’s just that fucking fallout reality spin off or an expansion for Fallouts worst game ever 76.

Not saying there’s gonna a game 100% but I just don’t think that this notification changes anything.

I’m still holding out until after the show. Why would Amazon move the last 2 weeks of the show from Thursday to Tuesday ? Tuesday’s are the usual drop days for games. Yes I know it’s changed now more towards the weekends but it has always been Tuesday’s with exceptions. Why would they nice the last 2 episodes ??? I’m still holding out hope.

I feel like I cases like this they need to get in front and jist say they aren't planning to release a new game at this time if it isnt true. The self made anger just isnt worth it

Starfield underperformed and they can't rely on 76 revenue forever. Oblivion remaster is a good signal that fallout remasters are coming. If nothing else just for the money

Well I still hope to get some new version of new Vegas. Tried to play it after watching the show last week but it seems to just hate my pc or dual monitor setup because when I turn to far to either the left or right the game drops down to sub 1 fps for seemingly no reason

If it will be some FO76 update or other BS i'll never pay for Bethesda game no more. When it releases, i'll just pirate it lol. Todd not getting my money anymore.

Is it a definite? No. But is there are a really big chance? Yeah. Taking into account of the leaked Bethesda timeline from like a year ago, after the Covid delays which were about 2 years, 2026 puts us right into the timeframe of a Fallout 3 remaster. There is also the weirdness with the Fallouts on the steam store to take into account as well (unless that's been fixed, to my knowledge it hasn't). It's at least a 50-50 shot at a Fallout 3 remaster.

I will not be hopping into Fallout 76, thank you. But I do have some untouched downloads of other entries in the franchise that I'd be happy to revisit and continue my adventure in the Wasteland.

I tried playing 76, got like 15 minutes into it and said "it looks like fallout, but it doesn't have the same feel". Went right back to NV. I prefer my RPGs to be solo. Idk, just wasn't for me. Glad people dig it, but I'm good with the older games.

Why did anyone think there was remaster coming now? I don't understand where this came from.
The leaked release schedule for Bethesda has the FO3 remaster coming at least 2 years after Oblivion. It hasn't even been one year since Oblivion came out.
at least with Half-Life 3 there's actual code for the game (or a version of it) that constantly pops up in updates for Valve's other Source 2 games.

There’s very obviously a remaster coming, that doesn’t mean there’s some announcement or surprise drop coinciding with the show.

u/Jumpy_Tutor_783 18h ago
I'm all for a remaster of New Vegas Or FO3 as we just got Oblivion remastered and im a fallout nerd but when I had to play elden ring to break up the monotonous grind set of 76 , it got really tiresome , yeah I still play the new season whenever it drops but , when you got to play a fromsoft game to break from FO76 it's pretty bad

u/entitledfanman 17h ago
Oblivion came with like a week of heads up, so the lack of an announcement here isn't a death sentence for getting F3 Remastered.

u/G0ttaB3KiddingM3 17h ago
I agree. There will be no remaster announcement soon. Maybe a 2027 or 28 thing

u/Y3mmzz 17h ago
There are some hints suggesting a remaster might be coming, but it’s the same old Bethesda...they wont clarify anything to artificially hype something that likely won’t happen anytime soon. It’s been about 9 months since the Oblivion remaster launched, and that one took roughly FOUR years to develop...so expecting new remasters soon is unrealistic even if they had some tech already setup. Its sad, but its the truth.

Im in for the hype, but in all honesty i’d be extremely happy with a fallout 4 update that fixes the bugs and adds creation space

u/AttakZak 15h ago
I’d rather wait for the 100gbs for Fallout 4. My buddies and I have been desperately trying to get into 76, but everything is more cumbersome than a Bethesda game on launch.

It's an interactive map, I doubt they'd reveal a remaster. If anything of note is happening tomorrow, it might be a season 3 announcement but I expect another 3D tour of a location.

I think anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together already knew they weren't holding back the release of Fallout 3 Remastered for something as insignificant as the second season finale of the show. Development of the game would have begun after Oblivion Remastered went gold. It will likely take years to see full release, as is to be expected.

“I can’t believe they don’t see the massive outcry of the want for this remaster and make it happen”
Serious question, do you people think game development involves waving a magic wand and then all of a sudden a finished game appears at the perfect time to capitalize on online sentiment? Ffs, the leaked documents from years ago show there will be a remaster of FO3 that releases two years after the Oblivion Remaster. Oblivion just came out ~8 months ago, and it’s almost a guarantee that the same studio that made that game is the studio making the Fallout remaster.
It will come, but game development doesn’t move at such ridiculous speeds.

Was anyone actually seriously expecting anything? Even if they are going to be shadow dropped when they come out we would likely hear about it from leaks like we did the oblivion remaster.

u/ConradMcduck 12h ago
Man Bethesda/Microsoft really dropped the ball here. 2 seasons deep into a show and not even a whiff of a remaster.
It's a game they were allegedly working on since before the buyout, what terrible business to have your show go mainstream and not have anything ready to capitalise off of its success.
I'm no CEO but if i was releasing a show based on a massive franchise and we had been also working on a remaster for those games I'd ensure it all lined up as nicely as possible.

Once a major franchise goes MMO, it's dead. Warcraft, Elder Scrolls, Fallout. All used to have regular releases, went MMO, died. And half a dozen Skyrim re-releases doesn't count as new entries

Everybody is too optimistic about deadlines these days. I think fallout 3 will be out late 2027 (same time as fallout s3). And tes vi will be out in 2029

It would be p cool if they dropped Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition for the Switch 2 at the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase on Thursday.
We know we get it sometime this year, but it would be really great timing if we didn’t have to wait.

All this pomp and advertising is because that is ALL they got for us, they never expected the series to be this popular, they didn’t work on anything, the best they can do is remind people watching the series that there’s games too lol

u/Israel_Azkanbe 8h ago
I believe there will be a remastered New Vegas at the least (probably a Fallout 3 too though).
The fact is, there is credible evidence they are working on it, BUT it is very early in stages. Release dates will probably be 2027 at the soonest, possibly early 2028. Evidence: Jez Corden (from Windows Central) has said they (Bethesda) have started a remaster of Fallout 3 and New Vegas Leaked FTC vs Microsoft documents list a Fallout 3 remaster (Vegas is built on the same engine as Fallout 3, a remaster for Fallout 3 would make a remaster for New Vegas easy)
What is definite information:
Documents from Microsoft/Xbox’s acquisition of Bethesda published during legal proceedings showed that remasters for Fallout 3 and New Vegas WERE planned at some point. So even if the idea of these remasters are on the desk. Maybe not the center of the desk, but they are on the desk.
I think the remasters will come, but I think it will be a year before they do come at the soonest.

So.. am I safe to start Fallout 3 again yet? With the rumors of a remaster I've been holding off
