Fallout 5 be damned, fans are losing it over the Fallout 3 remaster tease

Now that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster is finally out in the world, fans are looking to the other big Bethesda franchise, Fallout, in the hopes we get the remaster treatment there, too.

Fallout fans have been teased recently, with a Fallout 3 designer commenting that there could indeed a remaster in the works, and it will bring the gunplay up to the standards of Fallout 4.

Fallout 3 with this love and care? Sign us up!

Speaking in an interview with Videogamer, designer Bruce Nesmith said, “[Fallout 3 combat] didn’t hold up to shooters at the time.”

He continued, “But a lot of work was done on that for Fallout 4. So I anticipate seeing a lot of that work go into [the remaster], assuming they’re doing the same thing.”

This news made its way to Reddit, where fans began to feel excited about what is possibly on the horizon.

“The Oblivion remaster has made me significantly more excited for a Fallout 3 remaster. I love Fallout 3 so that would be freaking awesome,” said one comment from killakev564.

This is echoed by Washinout91, who said, “Man, imagine Fallout 3 remaster like Oblivion that also keeps the same atmosphere. Aaaaaaaaaaa!”

I don’t want to urinate on anyone’s campfire, but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves, this is still just a rumour, and a want from the community.

However, given the popularity of the aforementioned Oblivion Remaster, there could be enough passion in the community to see it released.

As this fan notes, “After the success of the Fallout show and now the Oblivion remaster, I would be shocked if Microsoft didn’t start getting on Bethesda’s ass about putting out more remasters.”

“I’m playing Oblivion on gamepass, but fallout would be a day one purchase,” enthused one passionate fan.

Let’s just hope this is one of those potential rumours that plays out for everyone involved.
