Are we ever going to see a remake of any Bethesda game?

Fallout 3, New Vegas, Elder scrolls Oblivion are my three favorite games of all time If I had to put my finger on them. But it’s not enjoyable anymore to simply download them and try to play through them again. There’s just something about trying to replay them and it just doesn’t work. Maybe I spent too much time playing games with high graphical fidelity lately, or I spent too much time in them back in the day. But if there was a remake, 2028, they released a brand new version of any of these games, it would be immediate purchase for me. I would spend another thousand hours in them with modern graphics and updates. Like a modern game engine… The thing I wonder though is why? Why don’t they remake any of their games? Not even Skyrim! They just keep re-releasing it.

Project Arroyo seems dead, though, so no Fallout that I know of.

But why no official ones? They don’t think it would be profitable. Microsoft and Bethesda are businesses first.

    I’d like to see that data. I’d be surprised if it exists, companies rarely release that level of detail on their finances.

    And “evil” is a very strong word. We’re talking about video games, a luxury recreational product.

    Countless games have had successful remakes, and crazy profits.

    The vast majority of remakes, even the bigger budget ones tend to be of smaller games. Games that are easier to recreate or port. Bethesda games are huge, and it’d need to be ported to another engine and redo everything from voice acting to the open world visuals. Even if they’ll bother with all that, I don’t think there’s a demand to remake Bethesda’s older, clunkier games.

    Oh boy, I get to excite you with the news of SkyBlivion, a community project to recreate the Oblivion game in the skyrim engine. Its been in development since 2013, and they say they have a 2025 release date scheduled but as I’ve been following this project and SkyWind (Morrowind remade in Skyrim’s engine) for years, I wouldn’t hold your breath on a 2025 release.

    I’ve known about this for a while. Sadly, I don’t think it’ll ever be finished. Even if it is, Skyrim is an extremely old engine and looks like crap, runs like crap. I modded the hell out of it with 4k graphics on an RTX 4070… It’s just awful. The engine isn’t great. They need to make something new. Even Starfield had the same old ass dated engine.

    Most of the work is done and they are aiming to release next year, at this point I’d be surprised if it doesn’t get done.

    In any case, this is a project that a lot of people have been working on, for free, for over a decade, I wouldn’t tell them it will look like crap even if I really thought so.

    Go play Fallout London. It’s a bitch to install and has more bugs than an ant colony but it’s the best Fallout since New Vegas imo. Even in it’s rough around the edges state you can tell it is a love letter to Fallout and is so good its canon for me regardless of what the will of Todd may ultimately decide.

    If you have any issues installing the game and getting it stable please reach out to me. There was also a nearly gamebreaking issue with semi auto rifle damage being grossly under calculated that I can help with as well. If Fallout 3 and NV are your favorite games you really should play it and that goes for anyone else who stumbles on this comment. It’s just so good.

    Best we got is a new Skyrim version. What do you mean you don’t want to buy the game you already own again? We made 20 different versions, all just for you to buy!

    No.

    Damn, that was easy.

    OpenMW counts as a remake of Morrowind, kinda. It only changes the game engine though.

    But like, officially? Pretty unlikely. Which is fine, the old games are still good, easily available, and very playable. I’d rather that than Bethesda’s new games get delayed in favor of remaking old ones, and then the remakes completely change what the old games were into something they were not.
