    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.
