Todd Howard says Bethesda won't recreate the first Fallout because "some of the appeal of the game of that era is a bit of that era."

Todd Howard, CEO of Bethesda, recently gave an interview to YouTuber MrMattyPlays. But there's also room for some chatter about the past, and in the TV series, the original Fallout game, developed by Black Isle Studios but now owned by Bethesda,

The big takeaway is that Bethesda is the first game in the series (Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout: Tactics). It is that there are no plans to remake them back. "The main priority for us is to make sure they are available and you can still play them on PC," says Howard of early isometric games. "And make sure they run successfully. As always, our priority is to give hi-tech equipment a certain amount of stuff "like in each region, so again priority is to give people loads to play with?"

"And we want to load [the game] and run it well," Howard says. The rest of it...I can argue that some of the appeal of the game from that era and the original fallout are a bit of that era. "We've changed how this works, so it's more modern."

The perspectives are different, but if you ask me, this is a good Todd Howard opinion: These games are still great, and I think you know they're of their own time" Sure, these are isometric turn・based strategy titles from the late '90s, but there's absolutely nothing bad about it. There is no need to worry about it.

"As long as you can download it," Howard quits, "As long as it loads and runs, I'd like people to experience it the way it was.""

MrMattyPlays ends the line of this question by calling Wasteland, the spiritual successor to Fallout, and pointing out that this is available on the console. Is there a prospect of it in the original fallout?

"Anything is possible," Todd says, but in a way that makes it clear that this won't happen. "But it's gonna be a long dev throw, and you have to ask yourself that where we want to put our time now"

Everything doesn't have to be reworked, and for my money the original fallout is fine as it is. These days, anyway, there's a whole host of mods that smooth out some of the elements that aren't aging so well, but after the first few minutes you just got, okay, I'm getting older. Look: Fallout 2'Bethesda isn't doing 1 if you really want first person, but there's a dedicated group of modders.
