bit-tech.net has done an article on games that should be remastered. Fallout pops up:<blockquote>The genre of RPGs was never so well expanded as it was with the release of Black Isle and Interplay's Fallout. This tile-based RPG won incredible critical acclaim at the time of its 1997 release, but has really shown its age since.
Set in "near" future after a nuclear holocaust, the game had a storyline that truly bent the normal concept of an RPG. The premise of the story involves your character being in charge of the water recycling of a fallout shelter (called a "vault"), and needing to repair the chip that controls the process. If you fail to do so within the allotted time, the people in your vault will die of thirst. So, armed with your trusty PDA and a few pitiful supplies, you set off to fix the chip.
Along the way, you are introduced to an entire post-apocalyptic world of warring vaults, bandit raiders, mutated monsters and hazardous conditions. The well-written story makes you almost forget the urgency of your recycling debacle as the plot's concepts get bigger and bigger, eventually involving an entire mutant army.
As original and involving as the game is, its isometric, tile-based graphics are a bit hard on the eyes. Furthermore, the game could greatly use the boost of some in-game cinematics, which would definitely help pull you into the rather unusual story a bit more. It would be great to see this get a new coat of paint rather than the promise of another sequel.</blockquote>Hmmm. What would you guys rather see, a new coat of paint on Fallout or (the promise of) another sequel?
