Fallout 3 remastered rumored to be happening, but is still early in development

Not surprising considering how successful oblivion remastered was

    This was probably on the back burner and barely being worked on until they saw if Oblivion Remastered would be successful or not. They’re under Microsoft now and they could get shut down for any and every reason. And especially so if they waste money on developing a game that wouldn’t be profitable.

    As much as I hate the idea of remastering all their games instead of just making another fucking game, Fallout 3 is incredibly unplayable on modern PCs. You have to spend 5 hours modding it just to get it to work properly and even then it will still crash 4 times in the span of one day.

      Ironically the easiest way to play Fallout 3 these days is on Linux via Proton where it works perfectly.

      Damn, I was playing Fallout 3 on my brother’s Win11 PC just the other night for like, literally 7 hours.

      I didn’t get a single crash. But then I did remember getting the thing for him that makes it stable, so maybe it’s just the one mod that takes all of 5-10 minutes to find it and install it.

        I remember that originally it was Microsoft’s online attachment to the game which created most problems, that whatever Live service. Getting rid of it solved many of the initial issues. Then, only the Bethesda induced issues remained.
