gamingJul 17, 2026531,347

Bethesda confirmed remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas in a surprise Friday announcement that also put Fallout 5 into pre-production and revealed Obsidian Entertainment is developing a new Fallout title. Posts focus heavily on Fallout: New Vegas, with jubilant exclamations and outright relief alongside hopes the remaster will stop the game s notorious crashes. Several posts contrasted Bethesda s work with Obsidian s reputation, expressing curiosity that Obsidian is handling a separate Fallout project. The timing stuck in people s minds because coverage of the announcement landed just before reporting about large Xbox layoffs, and many described the news as a rare bright spot.

folks I've just seen the leaked documents and they're planning to contrast the gritty and violent nature of the post-apocalyptic wasteland with are you ready upbeat pop and jazz music from the 1930's-1950's holy fuck

Between the Microsoft boycott and the fact they only ever make one game at a time... Remember that TES6 was first talked about in 2016. The big trailer? 2018. I love Fallout, those games were important to me but, again: Microsoft boycott and it ain't coming out until 2040 if ever.

Remembering how the only good Todd Howard moment is when he said theyd never do a Morrowind remaster because it runs fine on modern hardware thanks to modders, and that Bethesda prefers to "look forward"

The level of contempt these companies have for both the people who work for them, and their player base, is shocking. Trying to play us all for fools with most basic-ass manipulation tactics imaginable.

Wow they're remastering garbage and expanding garbage and making new garbage, including new garbage made by a hollowed out skinsuit of the one studio that made a good version of this franchise. Even without BDS I wouldn't be tempted by any of this lmao
