A Steam glitch convinced some Fallout fans a New Vegas remaster was imminent, only to have the rug yanked out from under them: 'Slowly turning into r/HalfLife'

Fallout New Vegas Yes Man uploaded to computer mainframe.

Two things I believe to be true are: One—given the success of last year's Oblivion remaster, remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are all-but assured. Two—they probably won't drop any time soon. Oblivion is not even a year behind us (though given its last patch was in July and Bethesda seems to have forgotten it exists, you'd be forgiven for feeling like it's been longer) and the studio is notionally working on new "space gameplay" for Starfield. Oh, and The Elder Scrolls 6 is bubbling away in there somewhere.

It doesn't feel like a lot of space to launch a humdinger of a Fallout remaster, is my point. But fans of those games are quite keen on the notion of prettied-up versions, and a recent Steam glitch had a few of them ready to declare that the prophecy would soon be fulfilled (by which I mean: a remaster or two were imminent).
