Bethesda's head Todd Howard has bad news for fans who want remakes of Fallout and Fallout 2. According to his interview, bringing old games back to life is not something the company is planning to do.
Despite the fact that the first and second parts of Fallout are still considered some of the best RPGs of all time, outdated graphics and controls are a problem for many. Previously, after the release of Fallout 3, and now, after the success of the Fallout series, many have considered remakes of classic games from the 1990s. The head of Bethesda Game Studios says that there is currently no "remake" of Fallout 1 and 2 on the table at the studio. Howard says that Bethesda will only support the ability to play both games on PC. According to him, the company's priorities "do not lie in this area" of priorities.
Todd Howard defends Bethesda's decision to leave the complex Interplay Fallout games untouched, saying that "part of the charm of games from that era" lies in their "oldschoolness." Also, Bethesda has no interest in the idea of porting Fallout 1 and 2 to consoles.
"Anything is possible, but it would be a lengthy process for developers, and you have to ask yourself, what do we want to spend our time on now, or is it better to play, as it was on PC? If you ask me, I think it's best to play it on PC, with a mouse and keyboard, as it was," Howard says.
Todd Howard also talked about the prospects of a new Fallout game considering the franchise's popularity. Here too, there is no good news, Bethesda has decided to "not rush."
"As for other Fallout games in the future, I certainly can't talk about them right now, maybe I should say that we are in a hurry because of them, or that we need to get things that are different from the work we are doing in 76, you know... But we don't feel like we need to rush with this. Right now, the Fallout TV show occupies a certain niche in terms of the franchise and plot. I really feel the desire for a new type of main game, but it takes time. I don't think it's bad for people to also miss it. We just want to do it right and make sure that everything we do in the franchise, whether it's Elder Scrolls, Fallout, or now Starfield, becomes a significant moment for everyone who loves these franchises as much as we do."
Considering that the head of the studio says that there can sometimes be more than 10 years between parts of its main franchises, jokes about "living to see a new Elder Scrolls or Fallout" are not really jokes. Todd Howard once said that the sixth part of Elder Scrolls will likely be the last game in the series under his leadership.
