neurocrash Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 After seeing that a group is releasing a remake of Half-Life in the Half-Life 2 Source engine - blackmesasource , I got to thinking about this, so I just have to say it. So, how about a remake of Fallout 1 or 2 in the Fallout 3 engine? Obviously, this would be a huge task requiring lots of terrain and building modelling, voicework(?), re-balancing, etc... For that matter, I'm kind of surprised that Bethesda doesn't do this themselves, since these would make amazing DLC, and all the writing and quest designs are complete and top quality. Cheers!

mikekearn Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Actually, falloutx, if the people did everything themselves (as in, used all their own models, script effects, textures, etc.) than yes, it's legal. The OP mentioned Black Mesa Source; they are doing, exactly as he said, a complete remake of the original Half-Life using much enhanced physics, modeling, textures, and scripting. It looks amazing, and it is legal because they aren't making any money off it. If a group tried to do the same for Fallout, they'd have a tough job of it because of the vast difference in style a 3rd person, isometric game like the original Fallout has from Fallout 3, but it would be legal so long as they didn't try and sell it.

Bean0 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 We would need to add a lot to Fallout 1 and 2 because all the locations in it are very far apart, it would be very boring to travel from point A to B to C with nothing in between.

Rekicker Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I think there would be legal issues in using the quests and dialog from Fallout 1 and 2. After all, it was written work that spawned copyright laws in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
