Mf couldn’t do modern era right (repeated attempts, mind you) and only has that nostalgic ground to stand on, of course they wouldn’t shit there too lmao
What he’s really saying he wants to do is wait to see how successful FO5 turns out and then maybe release them later when the work will have already been done by hackers.
So they cant because they lost the original code… Wouldn’t be the first time.
Like seriously, people want a remake so the game runs on modern systems, not because you need to change much story, graphics or gameplay. Maybe some quality of play changes and higher resolution support but thats not much work.
You can still run Fallout 1 and 2 on modern hardware. Maybe not the original disks, but a remake wouldn’t fix that anyways.
A remake would involve redoing nearly everything in the base game in a new engine. You’re likely thinking of a remaster, which brings it up to modern hardware without rebuilding the whole thing.
They would at worst need to redo the code, the graphics and the text can be mostly reused without problem, the storyline wouldn’t change, the world building wouldn’t either. Putting the stuff into another code isn’t that hard for games like fallout 1 and 2 wich are more Text based.
A complete remake is absolutely unnecessary and nobody wants that. There is no reason to remake something that just needs some changes under the hood and maybe some upscaling for the textures.
Idk if this counts as remake or remaster, id argue its something in between.
Oh and its running on modern hardware, but not on modern Operating system, at least not without issues. The possibility of getting it to work on more modern OSs in the future is increasingly getting lower. Putting it into new code wouldn’t be much work but would help to preserve the game.
Who cares? Its a old game and it shouldn’t be changed. Shure its not good that it was like that back then, but changing it would be ignorant of the past.
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
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.
Sure, but like…would it really be the end of the world if it got controller support? I’m far more comfortable on controller than I am on mouse and keyboard, largely because I work on mouse and keyboard all day.
It would be very difficult to control a game like Fallout 1 with a conventional controller, but if you really need it you can use DOSBox, which has controller support. The Retroarch core is probably the easiest to use and setup, I am not sure about the standalone version, but it is probably similar.
You’re best bet is doing that commentor’s suggestion. Those games do not map to a controller that well and most likely will never officially receive that.
Without official support, I doubt they’ll ever map that well at all, but I’ve got an ergonomic mouse in the meantime. Official support would still be better though. Games that only work on mouse and keyboard will be a smaller and smaller library as time goes on, if all goes well.
add it to steam as a non-steam game , if you use that for other games, and try to create a mapping with Steaminput. I have not done that for fallout, but that offers so many options that i am certain you’ll be able to map everything to your controller you need.
If steam is not an option xpadder or joy2key might work for you, but i have not used them for ages.
Steam Input lets you map the trackpads to a mouse and you can map the buttons to any keyboard button. You can even map a zoom button and force the game to a specific resolution. It’s doable if you believe in yourself haha.
Well support might not be an option but have you considered/tried something like xpadder? I had to use it to map keyboard buttons to a controller for gameboy emulators a couple years ago. Might do the trick.
What I need is a larger UI so I can fucking see what the hell I’m doing. I got like 6.25 glasses and astigmatism, and I guess I should qualify as having a visual impairment because fallout 1 is unplayable
