Highly doubt any of the original mods would work with the remastered ones though, if they use a different engine. The Oblivion remaster used Unreal Engine 5 to handle all of the visuals, but kept Gamebryo as the base engine for all of the underlying mechanics. Virtually none of the existing mods for the original Oblivion worked with the remaster, but new ones could be created. I would expect the same thing to happen with FO3 and FNV remasters. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago we need someone working on that fred durst mod as soon as possible. new vegas is unplayable without it permalink fedilink source parent [–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 week ago (1 child) It's a shame to me because it divides the modding scene, and plenty old but stable mods will never be updated to work with the remaster. But it is what it is. I guess it will be nice for console players as F:NV is practically unplayably broken without mods. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago Yeah that's the downside. But also, it's been almost 20 years since the original. Technology has changed a ton. It does suck that a lot of the old mods won't be updated, but it brings in opportunity for new mods. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 point 1 week ago I remember checking and being incredibly disappointed by the lack of Oblivion mods a while after it released. It really informed me on not purchasing it. I would assume the same will be true for these l. They'll technically support mods, but realistically the people who would be interested in making them aren't interested in making them for the remake. I'd love to be mistaken though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] master94ga@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* Those are gonna be remaster like the Oblivion recently released, of course the mods are not gonna work permalink fedilink source parent [–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago They won't replace the old versions. They'll sell you new ones. Just stick to the old version. permalink fedilink source parent
