As great as it is to see the 3D Fallout games enjoying another moment in the sun<\/a> following the popularity of Prime Video\u2019s excellent TV adaptation<\/a>, the games I most want to direct new fans toward are the classic original Fallout and Fallout 2. Aside from being where it all began, those are the stories that hold many of the answers people coming off of the show are looking for: the origins of Shady Sands, the Brotherhood of Steel, the Enclave, what happens when a vault\u2019s water chip fails, and much more. Their stories, scenarios, and memorable moments have stuck with those of us who played them for decades, and bringing those same experiences to an entirely new audience that\u2019s ravenous for Fallout content seems like a slam dunk.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

However, in 2024 that recommendation comes with more caveats than it ought to: While both are readily available on Steam (and included in PC Game Pass) and run on modern PCs, when you fire it up you\u2019re presented with an array of tiny buttons, no tutorial, and 2D sprite graphics designed for 800×600 CRT monitors that, despite being loaded with post-nuclear character, make you squint to see what\u2019s going on. It\u2019s enough of a barrier to re-entry to make even a (very) old fan like myself balk a bit at diving in for another playthrough \u2013 and a reminder that if there\u2019s one series that has been criminally overlooked in the era of remasters, it\u2019s old-school Fallout. <\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Bringing a game like Fallout up to date in a way that would please both diehard fans and newcomers would certainly take years of work, and I don\u2019t mean to suggest it would be easy by any stretch of the imagination. The original is just 562MB installed off of Steam; Fallout 2 is just 2MB larger. (I remember having to keep the disc in the drive to play because my brother\u2019s PC only had a 1GB hard drive in 1998.) You can technically crank the resolution up to full 4K, but who\u2019re we kidding? Character sprites are just 60 pixels tall, so you\u2019re getting a bare minimum of detail \u2013 packed with retro-futuristic flavor as it may be \u2013 any way you slice it. The grainy cinematics are barely better, and only the most important conversations are voice acted. Also, there\u2019s no controller support, so there are legions of modern-day Fallout fans who play on consoles who have no access to these fantastic games at all. <\/p>\n

There are legions of modern-day Fallout fans who have no access to these fantastic games at all.\u00a0<\/section>\n

A full remaster wouldn\u2019t even be as simple as porting over models and textures from Fallout 4, since any art director worth their salt will tell you things need to be designed differently when they\u2019re intended to be viewed from an isometric perspective. (It\u2019d be interesting to see those old games brought in line with the art style of Bethesda\u2019s Fallout games, though personally I\u2019d love an update that honors the more cartoonishly broad-shouldered, bulkily armored character design.) Beyond graphics, there are a number of features that would be expected in a modern game, such as character customization beyond picking between dark-haired white male and dark-haired white female for your Vault Dweller, that would need to be added. The UI could certainly use some updating as well, and the first Fallout is from a time when in-game tutorials weren\u2019t a thing, so popping up with some instructions on how to use its systems would be a positive step. I\u2019m sure some people would love an option to prevent companions from being permanently killed when a stray SMG burst shreds them into a fine mist, but for me that\u2019s part of the charm.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

I\u2019m sure a modern remaster would have to do away with a few things that haven\u2019t aged super well \u2013 I would not expect the Childkiller trait to carry over, for instance. Back when Fallout 3 was announced I asked Todd Howard how that game would handle kids; visibly wincing, he replied that you can\u2019t do child murder at that level of fidelity. Much as I enjoyed how the original gave you such broad freedom that you could make a decision \u2013 or mistake \u2013 so monstrous the entire wasteland would hate you forever, I\u2019m inclined to agree.<\/p>\n

The popularity of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 makes me confident modern gamers wouldn\u2019t have a problem with Fallout\u2019s combat.<\/section>\n

That said, the underlying gameplay holds up very well, and the popularity of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/a> and XCOM<\/a>-style turn-based tactical games makes me confident that modern gamers wouldn\u2019t have a problem getting the hang of how Fallout\u2019s combat works \u2013 it\u2019s far, far less complex than managing a wizard\u2019s spells. Sure, you have to go into your inventory to load a pistol with your choice of ammo types and open a menu to target an enemy\u2019s groin, for instance, and if your luck stat is low you\u2019ll be prone to weapon misfires and hitting the wrong target. But it\u2019s plenty rewarding even so, and there\u2019s no shame in save scumming (quicksave\/quickload would be another great addition). <\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

So there\u2019s a long to-do list, but it can be done. We\u2019ve seen proof with 2021\u2019s Diablo 2: Resurrected, where Vicarious Visions (now known as Blizzard Albany<\/a> and, coincidentally, under the same corporate ownership as Bethesda) painstakingly remastered a beloved game from 2000 with vastly improved 3D graphics and a handful of important quality of life enhancements. In theory, Fallout could get the same treatment: According to Tim Cain<\/a>, producer on the original Fallout, the original source code still exists for both games and should be in the possession of Bethesda, so they could be updated rather than remade.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be a long, long time before Bethesda revisits the post-apocalypse.<\/section>\n

And they really should be, because the reality is that it\u2019s going to be a long, long time before Bethesda\u2019s already announced development schedule allows it to revisit the post-apocalypse for another full-scale RPG. Heck, even in the best-case scenario where another Xbox studio like Obsidian or InExile were to kick off a new Fallout tomorrow while Bethesda goes back to Tamriel for The Elder Scrolls VI, we\u2019d still be very, very lucky to see it before the 30th anniversary of the original Fallout, which came out in 1997. To put that in perspective: there will likely be a longer gap between 2018\u2019s Fallout 76 and a hypothetical Fallout 5 than there was between Fallout 2 (1998) and Fallout 3 (2008) \u2013 a 10-year stretch during which the series was largely considered dead. Remastering the originals would fill that gap nicely in as little as a couple of years, if Diablo 2 Resurrected\u2019s three-year development is any indication, and give Fallout fans a Stimpack injection of the good stuff to tide us over.<\/p>\n
