Fallout 3/New Vegas/Oblivion would still look OK in 1080p and not that difrent compared to Fallout 4 and Skyrim, but Morrowind is totally different story. |
New Vegas looks ... okay. It's mostly rock, anyway. Fallout 3 looks nowhere close to Fallout 4. Fallout 3 would need a LOT of work if they moved it to current platforms, not just visually, but internally. It just does not hold up very well. However, I do think a rebuild would make enough money to justify the expense. The problem would be having enough resources to spare while working on several other games.
I also would not be surprised if Starfield does not come to the Switch. They started work on it directly after Fallout 4 ended, which most likely means it's the same engine. I think that means it's built for PS4/XO in mind. A lot has to do with when Nintendo started seriously talking to Bethesda. I'm not sure if we know the timeline (I don't). Bethesda gave Nintendo an absolute tongue-thrashing in 2013 for not communicating. Initial pre-production on Starfield probably started 2015 as Fallout 4 was finishing up. When did Nintendo contact them about the Switch?
Elder Scrolls VI is a different beast. Signs point to a new game engine. Howard made a comment that it would sound like they "don't even have the technology" for what they are working on. That has next-gen written all over it and they probably have a rough estimate of what Sony and Microsoft are planning. Nintendo is notorious for not sharing that kind of information--but, then again, I think Bethesda has proven that they can keep secrets well.
