February is shaping up to be a busy month for fans of remakes and remasters, with discussions surrounding titles like Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas gaining traction. While hopes were briefly raised by a countdown related to the Season 2 finale of Prime Video’s Fallout, those expectations ultimately went unfulfilled. Though, Project Arroyo is stepping in to deliver on the desire for a reimagined classic.
Project Arroyo is a fan-led initiative aiming to remake Fallout 2 using Fallout 4 as a base. The project has been in development for years, with the team regularly sharing development updates, and recently released another significant update.
The update comes in the form of a 50-minute video featuring Damian, the project lead, who provides an overview of Project Arroyo, details the current development status, and showcases comparisons between the original game and the Fallout 4-based version. The team is tackling a significant challenge, as the original Fallout 2 utilized an isometric perspective, a departure from the first-person style introduced with Fallout 3 after Bethesda’s acquisition of the franchise. This ambitious undertaking aims to rebuild the entire game in the more modern style.
Si no está roto, no lo toques. Ese es mi lema. Estamos intentando mantenerlo lo más cercano posible al original, pero habrá cambios menores aquà y allá. […] Tenemos alrededor de 100 personas en el servidor de desarrollo. Obviamente, no todos trabajan siempre, porque es un proyecto voluntario y no se les paga. […] Entran y salen dependiendo de sus prioridades y estilo de vida.
The discussion highlights interesting considerations regarding key locations and even touches on how the addition of vehicles in Starfield could potentially influence future additions to the Fallout universe. However, the video itself offers the most compelling look at the project, showcasing numerous comparisons between Fallout 2 and this remake built in Fallout 4. The developers are clearly prioritizing faithfulness to the original, as the visuals closely resemble the classic game, a detail that should resonate with longtime fans.
Project Arroyo still has a long road ahead, and further updates will be closely watched. Some fans have expressed skepticism about the project’s completion, citing its reliance on volunteers and ambitious scope, as noted in a Reddit discussion. However, the project lead remains committed to bringing this fan remake to life. The effort underscores the enduring appeal of the Fallout franchise and the dedication of its community.
