My dream is a fallout game set in New Orleans, but made by Obsidian.
Give them permission to have greenery in the game as you run around a massively overgrown swamp (there’s some lore from unpublished games about an over-abundance of GECK testing in the area,)
Helping people actually build new shit from the abundant trees. The people would be that fun mix Creole and Americana.
We could have new enemies, like snakes and gators and shit. Maybe assassin vines and man eating trees.
My dream enemy would be a splinter group of Caesar’s legion and remnants of the Enclave.
As for music, dig deep into New Orleans history. There’s more than enough to put together a kick-ass soundtrack.
While I would kill for an actual remake, there is a fan-made remake in the F4 engine that has been many years in the works. The devs are pretty active on Discord and still plugging away at it. Who knows if it ever actually gets finished, but I think at this point this is the best hope for a somewhat-modernized New Vegas.
This is actually one of those things that bothers me the most. So many projects that are at risk of getting taken down are announced way before they are ready, whether it be on purpose for them to knowingly get taken down before anything ever becomes playable and gets released because they never had any intention of actually releasing it they just wanted the fame for it with no intentions of delivering on it, or because they didn’t think they would get taken down and get completely surprised by it like it’s never happened before. If you are going to make something awesome, wait until you release it to announce it.
I wonder what would happen if Bethesda gave a few of the best modders full access to the game’s code and to the latest version of the engine. I bet they could come up with a current gen remake in under a year without the involvement of a single Bethesda dev.
I think you’re severely underestimating how much time, effort, and resources game development takes. Especially when the devs aren’t doing it full-time.
Give us a current gen remake.

After the mess that was Outer Worlds, I hope Obsidian finds itself.
Different people, different tastes I guess but in what sense is Outer Worlds a mess?
Microsoft has bought up both Obsidian and Bethesda so it is technically possible for them to make another Fallout game.
But at the same time they already announced Outer Worlds 2, and I’m not even sure the key people are necessarily still around.
Wasn’t there a fallout 3 DLC set in the Bayou?
Point Lookout was in a swamp on the coast of Maryland.
Western bay coast of MD
Right yeah. I could’ve sworn there was some depiction of it in one of the games but I’m pretty sure I’m just remembering wrong.

Fan-made remake probably won’t be available on PS5.

Yet another one of those Bethesda fan remakes that takes over a decade of work before it gets abandoned suddenly.
Or likely threatened with legal action.
