Fallout 3, New Vegas, Elder scrolls Oblivion are my three favorite games of all time If I had to put my finger on them. But it's not enjoyable anymore to simply download them and try to play through them again. There's just something about trying to replay them and it just doesn't work. Maybe I spent too much time playing games with high graphical fidelity lately, or I spent too much time in them back in the day. But if there was a remake, 2028, they released a brand new version of any of these games, it would be immediate purchase for me. I would spend another thousand hours in them with modern graphics and updates. Like a modern game engine... The thing I wonder though is why? Why don't they remake any of their games? Not even Skyrim! They just keep re-releasing it.

I've known about this for a while. Sadly, I don't think it'll ever be finished. Even if it is, Skyrim is an extremely old engine and looks like crap, runs like crap. I modded the hell out of it with 4k graphics on an RTX 4070... It's just awful. The engine isn't great. They need to make something new. Even Starfield had the same old ass dated engine.

Most of the work is done and they are aiming to release next year, at this point I'd be surprised if it doesn't get done.

In any case, this is a project that a lot of people have been working on, for free, for over a decade, I wouldn't tell them it will look like crap even if I really thought so.

What does "4k graphics" even mean? Did you just install 4k textures for everything or what? Either way, you can get modded Skyrim to look very beautiful, without being insanely demanding. I guess it depends on your resolution, but a 4070 should be able to manage it just fine, so I'm not sure what you did.
