    You can still run Fallout 1 and 2 on modern hardware. Maybe not the original disks, but a remake wouldn’t fix that anyways.

    A remake would involve redoing nearly everything in the base game in a new engine. You’re likely thinking of a remaster, which brings it up to modern hardware without rebuilding the whole thing.

    A remake isn’t needed for fallout 1 or 2

        Rewriting the entire code for 2 25 year old games without changing the end result is a lot of work.

        They’d also need to redo the voice acting for legal reasons like mods do and change some of the dialogue that wouldn’t fly these days.

            Keeping the low INT female chosen one dialogue with Myron or half of San Francisco would probably start a shitstorm nowadays.
