Give us a current gen remake.

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.

[–] eu@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Well, in such a scenario I'm also making two assumptions:

  1. That the modders are indeed being paid by Bethesda to work full-time on it since it's meant to be sold when finished (not unlike Skyrim Special Edition, only made by modders)
  2. There's a way to add code and assets from existing mods to their remake. If they have to make it all from scratch then yeah, a year is not enough.
