if it’s just gonna be another DLSS and TAA smearfest that needs framegen to even appear optimized they can keep it as far as i’m concerned

One the one hand F:NV is a broken mess that could seriously use a once-over… but one the other I shudder at the thought of all the mods this might break.

… presumably it would ‘break’ basically all of them, given that this is a remaster, aka, a different game, the same way that the GTA Definitive editions are remasters of the original games.

The Creation Engine is now … what, 15 years older?

And if they do what they did with the Oblivion remaster, it’ll be a frankenstein of UE5 and the Creation Engine.

So yeah, you’d have to make all the mods all over again, perhaps with a few very rare exceptions…

But it wouldn’t break the original FONV.

… Unless they just decide to do that also, like they did with FO4.

… Also FONV works fine now, modders have fixed and expanded it greatly.

Oh I am intimately familiar with Viva New Vegas and the general modding scene, I’ve spent probably several hundred hours over the years modding New Vegas. Hence my apprehension.

I’d love it - but I dont wan’t this weird non-mod supporting one that they had with oblivion.

Just do pretty much the same but with more explicit mod support, like put NVSE in there natively.

OP

Yeah, I was really disappointed in the oblivion “remaster” since I could have gotten a similar experience with enough mods, the exact same game but a new coat of paint. And FNV needs more than that, there are so many empty locations that need something in them, but I don’t think that’s what we’ll get. I will be excited that FNV will be back in the spotlight and more people will experience it, but I have a bittersweet taste in my mouth

I have precisely zero positive expectations due to the amount of belly flops Zenimax, Microslop, and Bethesda have been having lately.

That being said if this actually ends up a good remaster I’ll be pleasantly surprised, but I won’t hold my breath or buy before complete reviews hit.

I might play the Fallout 3 remaster because I could never be bothered to play the original, but if there are no mods then I’m not interested in a New Vegas remaster. I don’t care that much about a game looking like shit compared to all the gameplay tweaks and full expansions people have released over the years.
