    The performance is fine. The mod will enhance the lifetime of the game. WIth a 5090 framerate will be ok and with 6090 we will get a totally stable image. When people wants to play the game in 10 years, they will be totally happy about it.

    I’d say for what fallout is…. It looks honestly way better for what fallout is. Let’s be real fallout fans love what fallout is and how it’s played. As long as the graphics and most gameplay are updated to today’s standard while catering to fallout fans I respect it. Fallout 4 was probably their best fallout so far I don’t care what people say about new Vegas, fallout 4 was definitely better than fallout new Vegas.

    This guy probably is friends/got paid by Nightdive and praises anything they do. The midi music in this 'remaster' sounds worse than the original or TFE and timing is all over the place and the drums, o the drums... Nothing is remastered about the music and sound. And no, the discussed in the video is not an excuse at all. Midi is a recording of all note data. In fact all music sequencers and virtual and real instruments use it. iMuse is just a system to manipulate this data during gameplay. Just a matter of converting that midi data into real time play and using a good sound fonts. They couldn't even be bothered to use AWE32 sound fonts. The remake has nothing to offer above The Force Engine. And certainly not a worthy of the $30 price tag. Btw imuse is used in other games of the era. A lot of Lucas Arts adventure games and things like Tie Fighter so it is nothing unique.
