Since Xbox's acquisitions of both Obsidian and Bethesda — the two companies behind 2010's Fallout: New Vegas — fans' wishes for a modern remaster of the Xbox 360 RPG have been rife. Having said that, the notion of 'New Vegas Remastered' clearly isn't just a fan wish either.
In a new interview with outlet The Gamer, long time Obsidian developer Tim Cain talked all things Fallout, The Outer Worlds and the studio's upcoming plans. Tucked in here are a few snippets about the classic RPG, including Cain himself bringing up how a New Vegas remaster would be "awesome".
"Not that it's up to me, but wouldn’t a graphic remaster of Fallout: New Vegas be awesome?"
Unfortunately, no New Vegas-related plans seem to be locked in at the moment, but it's looking like something the series' creator would be interested in. Given that the team just announced a 'remaster' of its 2019 RPG The Outer Worlds, and as we previously mentioned Xbox owns both companies involved in the original, it seems a real possibility.
At least the original is still easy to access and enjoy, especially on Xbox where it's both backwards compatible and FPS Boosted to 60 frames per-second. That's definitely a good thing too - Obsidian is well aware that fans are still revisiting the 2010 RPG more than a decade after launch.
"People are able to go back to that game [New Vegas], because [of] those characters and the stories. That setting is just rich, and people want to be there."

No remasters are pointless...atleast remake if you feel obliged to revist old games
That’d be a remaster I’d actually play. The game is a 10. If we’re remaking every game under the sun these days, surely New Vegas deserves one. I’d prefer new games, of course, but, I mean, I wouldn’t turn it down, just like I didn’t turn down the Metroid Prime Remaster.
Let's get a Bioshock remake.
Tim Cain is not the "Fallout creator" he's the Fallout writer. Brian Fargo (inExile, also Microsoft-owned now) is the creator of Fallout, which started out as Wasteland 2.
@NEStalgia Not true. Cain was the original creator of the Fallout engine and he was also the lead producer. The game was just a spiritual successor to Wasteland which Fargo worked back in the 80s but Fargo wasn't the creator of Fallout.
@Syndrome Fargo was the executive producer, and it was his company..... Yes, Cain started working on the engine as a concept without a game before it became anything, but it was Fargo's Wasteland design transferred to Fallout only because they couldn't get Wasteland back from EA (ironically enough.) And the name Fallout was Fargo's idea.
Though ironically back in the day nobody talked about Fargo or Cain at all and everyone credited everything to Chris Taylor (the designer) lol.
These days I’m usually on the “just port them” wagon, no need for remasters and such but this might be a special (😅) case. It’s still playable but it feels like it’s tearing apart at the seams as I play it.
The open world is also incredible barren. And I’d love to see the developers original idea for the New Vegas strip (they scaled it down for console peasants like myself 😂).
So ye maybe a remake (that also allows us to run through the open world at a somewhat recent speed!) would be very welcome for this one.
Not sure who I’d trust to do it though. Considering it’s mostly technical stuff i’d like improved I don’t think Obsidian would be the right choice.
A terrible game and a terrible trend.
