Fallout 3 remaster is reportedly still happening as Bethesda aims for Oblivion Remastered-level polish, but personally I think it should aim a little higher

Don't despair, Fallout fans, that countdown might've ended in disappointment, but a new report suggests that a real Fallout 3 remaster is still on the way. Bethesda is apparently working to ensure the upgrade matches the quality of Oblivion Remastered – which could be a good or bad thing, depending on your perspective.

The existence of a Fallout 3 remaster is now effectively an open secret. There have been multiple reliable reports of its development, and now you can add The Verge's Tom Warren (paid article link) to the list. "The game is still in active development," Warren reports, "and I understand Bethesda is keen to ensure it's as well polished as the surprise release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered last year."
