    Genuine question: why is it news that they’re repackaging a game and selling it at full price? I have the game, I play the game, and I enjoy it. Why would I buy it again?

      Funny enough, some people haven’t played the games yet and might be interested in playing a modernized version!

        I guess what I mean here is that they can just update the old one maybe and not try to make money on old property…

        I’m being curmudgeony possibly lol just IMO the old game still stands because of the hardware its built for, and the story it has. Not the graphics

      These are old enough a remake could be good

      Oblivion remake was meh because Skyrim exists.

      Fallout 4/76 just wasnt as good. But it exists and the graphics and quality of life there can keep people from 3/NV just because of the comparison.

      FO4 is 11 years old, they could possibly update NV to where FO4 is, and that would be amazing

    Because they are remasters. If you are on PC, with graphics and performance mods, this is likely meaningless to you.

    As someone who has only played these games on PS3, I really look forward to a good remake.

    Unless of course they are Xbox exclusives, which is entirely possible.

      Exactly. At this point everyone’s expectations should be that this will either never get released or if it does it will be loaded with ads and microtransactions.

      AAA is dead. We need to stop beating a dead horse and shift our attention to indie and small dev teams that respect their customers.

      Fuck all this corporatized bullshit. The best of all these massive IPs is in the past. The sooner we accept that, the better. More money flowing to independent teams, the better because they’re like us, subject to the same shitty economy as us, living in the same housing options as us, and unable to afford yachts like us.

      Support your class. Support indie and small dev teams. They’re making the best games anyway.

      I am. The original versions were made on the Oblivion engine, and Oblivion Remastered was fucking fantastic.
