Comment on Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow'

That sounds a bit strange, the source code for nearly every script that handles quests, mechanics and such is bundled with the game and what modders have been using since release.

Unless I’m misunderstanding something, I don’t see why a remaster like Oblivion’s would be impossible. It runs on top of the original game anyways.

Cause the real reason which is well known is Bethesda higher up dont like the fact it s the most loved fallout post Bethesda acquisition and wasn’t made by them

  That’s literally not true. It’s false information spread by fanboy dickriders like you
  
  I don’t mean to sound like an asshole, but this whole “NV was the best game ever made” is getting REALLY old, especially now 16 years after the game released.

    I mean, for all of its flaws it is objectively better than Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 though. And I loved Fallout 3. So the comment you’re responding to is correct, because 3 and 4 are the competition (76 and Fallout Shelter do not count).

    (76 and Fallout Shelter do not count) Would it make a difference?

    what make better game ? are you crasy ? We saw how they treated the reception of starfield like fan being in the wrong and not an issue on their end so no hope on that subject

That’s a solid point. Assuming their bespoke Unreal Engine/Gamebryo hybrid engine can run the scripts, there’s no reason it couldn’t be “remastered” in the same way.

  Eventually you will want to change the lighting or fix a high severity bug. You need the source to recompile or repackage.

    The script source code is packaged with the game though. You can see the entire game’s implementation through the GECK and XEdit pretty much.

    This is Bethesda we’re talking about, I don’t think they’d worry about fixing bugs
