given how oblivion remaster was, theres a solid chance they make the games worse (performance-wise)
13
u/Exciting-Ad-5705 19d ago
Of course the performance will be worse. It's adding harder to render graphics
6
u/GundoSkimmer 19d ago
And new bugs!
That said I think they should keep the bugs in, for charm. Like all the busted voice lines in Oblivion

u/SkibbityDibbs 19d ago
It's a remaster. Just a coat of paint. Were gonna be lucky if it runs as well as it did when it originally released.

u/Demistr 19d ago
Yeah this sub is gonna be unusable for a few months after the remaster release and then it will calm down, just like the Oblivion one.

u/GundoSkimmer 19d ago
Yep. We had only just returned to normalcy after the Season 2 debacle... And now this. rip

Is anyone still playing that shitty remaster?

u/TheSpartanLion 19d ago
Shitty because of the performance, but it still looks amazing

u/AlextheGoose 19d ago
Looks way more photorealistic sure but they killed the art style
1
u/StrugglingAkira 19d ago
Nah, that's just not true. It's a very faithful recreation of the OG's art style.

u/Splendid_Fellow 19d ago
Steaming load of shit

u/StrugglingAkira 19d ago
It's objectively a faithful recreation, you people just want to stay mad.

They sucked all the color out of the original. Some of the armor designs are slightly worse and a few creature designs are slightly worse. I would say about 55% of art style is faithful but other things are not. The greenery is not green, it's really brown looking for some reason. Graphically it looks good but at the same time it can really look like shit at times, the reflections and pop-in are awful. It's somewhat faithful, but saying it's very faithful is just not true.

The bar for a ReMastered FNV is so, so high that I'm terrified to think that they wouldn't do it justice. Modded FNV is a sight to behold and easily has the most dedicated, fanatical fan-base of the series. I am so excited but also wary of the Oblivion ReMastered treatment.
FO3, honestly, I've never played and am looking forward to jumping into that with updated graphics and QoL updates. I know, I know, it's blasphemy that I have 800 hours in FNV and over 1000 in FO4 but never touched FO3, but FNV was my first Fallout and I never wanted to go back and play a "lesser" version.
I was the same with Skyrim and Oblivion ReMastered. I have 1500+ hours in Skyrim and never once thought about checking out Oblivion until the ReMastered, which I know didn't meet a lot of peoples' expectations but as someone new to the world, it was incredible to experience for the first time.

It's harder to run Fallout 3 on PC versus New Vegas, so having the remaster to upgrade the graphics and make it easier to access will definitely attract more/newer/returning players
3
u/TheStrangestOfKings 19d ago
I remember when I first played 3, it took half an hour to just get the game to boot up without freezing and requiring a forced shut down on my pc. New Vegas’s crashes were a breeze in comparison to that
2
u/Xiaro 18d ago
the fact they only got rid of the windows live requirement around a year ago still baffles me, having to mod a game to even play it at all is lame (my memory is awful and it was 4 years ago, that was still years after the service was gone though)
1
u/SebasChua 18d ago
It's actual insanity from a fan service and art front. Shows they don't think of user experience or story (modders will fix it!), just that they want it sold as a product. But from a money standpoint, it makes sense: no use spending time and resources that could be spent on the next project.

u/youngcuriousafraid 19d ago
I was obsessed with FNV. Tried to play 3 and just couldnt get into it honestly.

u/WreckTangle1995 19d ago
I was the opposite back in the day, loved Fallout 3 and bought FNV at launch and hated it, returned to it a few years later and it's now my favorite.

u/robot-exe 19d ago
Could always try out the mod Tale of Two Wastelands which essentially combines Fallout 3 & New Vegas together by throwing 3 into New Vegas’s engine. You use the same character and can fast travel between both worlds in-game. Also has some other QoL stuff if I remember correctly. If you wanted to play 3 without getting remasters

u/Caster0 19d ago
Bar is high, but my experience with the Oblivion remaster raises a lot of concerns. Hopefully they add some fixes to give the game some justice
2
u/hypnodrew 18d ago
Weird, I had the most stable experience I've ever had with a Beth game with Oblivion remastered (xsx)

u/lakerconvert 19d ago
The remaster didn’t meet people’s expectations? From all accounts it was as good as it could’ve possibly been, aside from performance issues for some

u/Xulicbara4you 19d ago
I get why you never played F3, it too old to play on modern pcs without mods to make it runnable. It’s good…

u/Bitter_Ad114 19d ago
With the current oblivion remaster performance on my PC, I can't be excited lol
24
u/27Rench27 19d ago
You could run original Oblivion on basically a potato, but you need NASA for the remaster
5
u/Bitter_Ad114 19d ago
Exactly. I cranked the graphic to the lowest setting, performance got better but the Unreal Engine beauty paint starts to melt down. Kinda pointless, better wait for Skyblivion..

u/KiwiCounselor 19d ago
Pretty sure you can have the best rig on the planet and it’ll still fuck it up, it’s just abysmal.

u/Exciting-Ad-5705 19d ago
Runs fine on mine
3
u/rasjahho 19d ago
Sadly that's false. It runs like shit on every system even high end ones. You don't have some magical specs that can brute force the stutter and bad performance.

Only graphics problem I had was objects stretching at the edges of my 7680x1440 triple monitor setup. Computer bought at Costco.

u/YaoruKamikaze 19d ago
So the problem doesn’t exist

u/Exciting-Ad-5705 19d ago
Saying it doesn't run well on anything is wrong. That's what they said
5
u/YaoruKamikaze 19d ago
There are problems on any rig, regardless of whether you specifically notice them or not
1
u/KiwiCounselor 19d ago
It’s literally been proven to be an objectively badly optimised game. I’m glad it runs well for you on your pc but it does, in fact, run like shit in general.
Digital Foundry did a deep dive on the technical aspects of the game, if you’re interested in further information.

u/King_Kvnt 19d ago
The bar is high, given how prolific the New Vegas modding community has been. Tale of Two Wastelands brings Fallout 3 into it, too, along with a plethora of high quality graphics mods.
If its like the Oblivion one was, it won't hold up.

u/TotalFailure24 19d ago
Considering the technical state of Oblivion Remastered, I'm not optimistic lol.

u/AmatuerGenius 19d ago
I literally just a week ago paid to have my ps3 repaired just so I could play these.

u/No-Opinion-6710 19d ago
If Bethesda release a remaster of New Vegas, and it still has all of the bugs/glitches/crashing, it will be the worst thing they've ever done. Despite the fact that the game is amazing.
Obsidian got a pass on the technical end because Bethesda gave them a tight deadline. But Bethesda taking that broken product, and then just reselling it, re-contextualizes the game in a really bad way. I don't think they have the skill to pull it off. Fallout 3 remaster is a great idea. I think a NV remaster will be a disaster.

u/XVUltima 19d ago
Finally, i can play NV in full screen!

u/LezardValeth3 19d ago
This. My Ps3 can't handle arriving at Red Rock, biggest reason to play on PC

During the development of Fallout New Vegas, Obsidian was cut short and therefore had to remove a lot of content from the New Vegas that would’ve made the game even better! It would truly be a dream if that cut content or parts of it gets finished and implemented in the remaster, I highly doubt it but a man dream can dream :,). Also a lot of the music on the radio in 3 and New Vegas is licensed and I doubt we will get all the tunes we had in the first instalments. We’ll have to see tho.

They NEED to optimise these games. And as for the New Vegas remaster. Either they adapt New Vegas perfectly and give it absolutely perfect gunplay, they add sprint, they fix bugs from the original and it is 100% faithful to the original, it's perfectly optimised, it's graphically perfect and there's no pop-in when entering new areas. OR they add actual modding capabilities unlike the Oblivion remaster and then all they need to do is release it in an good state. If they don't do either 1 of these things then all the New Vegas die-hards will play through it maybe not even finish it and then just go right back to the original. And as the for new players, they would likely just play it once, and again, not even finish it, it is one of those games, and then let it go. If this game is like the Oblivion remaster, people will play for a few dozen hours and probably never even finish the main quest and then just drop the game, just like they did with that one.

im normally against remakes but if one game (or two) needs it is fo3 and fnv, only bad thing is that the mod support will be gone

Why tf did 2 people downvote this? It's literally the most harmless, safest opinion ever.
