Ausir (whom I hope I don't have to introduce) has, in addition to finding obscure Fallout facts to shame us geeks with, identified the lead concept artist of FOOL, Serge.S.

From his LinkedIn page:<blockquote>I have been working as a concept artist at various game companies in southern California for the past four years. After graduating from Laguna College of Art and Design I interned at Highmoon Studios and was promoted to a storyboard artist within a few months by Farzad Varahramyan. I spent my time working on the Bourne Game and started a figure drawing work shop for all the artist there. I later went to work for Obsidian Entertainment where I was the lead environment artist on Alpha Protocol. I also brought my passion for figure drawing there, and started a drawing class for Obsidian.

I'm currently working at interplay as the lead concept artist.</blockquote>Link: Serge.S' website

Thanks, Ausir. Again.
 
Fan-fucking-tastic artwork. I never get tired of looking at shit like that. I have countless Gigabytes of PA art on my HD. One part of me hopes that Interplay releases more info, but another part wants them to take their time so it's good.
 
Well, we don't know if any of the stuff in his gallery now is actually concept art for FOOL. But some of it definitely does look Fallouty.
 
I like his style but I'm not really impressed at a whole. most of it seems to be lacking imagination - I felt like I had seen every single drawing before. nothing really stood out.

From what I've gathered from his comments, it's made for fun and he didn't spent much time on it.

Serg is an extremely talented concept artist. I really like his stuff.

None of the pieces on his website are specific to V13, but many of them are in similar styles. His V13 work really pegs the PA style.

Given what we saw on Tactics and BOS I have very little hope for this, especially considering its an MMO. Here's hoping Anderson and Taylor can save this last ditch attempt by our favourite dying game developer.
 
Thats true but these days I don't really have any faith in Interplay's ability to develop a good Fallout game.

As things are with Fallout, IMO things are pretty much fucked either way. Its either the crap we get from Interplay or the crap we get from Bethesda.

I'm not so sure that even the original developers can save this project from the blight that is what Interplay has become. This is the company that scrapped Fallout 3 for Fallout: POS, Tactics, and POS 2!

I would love for this to turn out great, but I think this is going to be a situation like Richard Garriott found himself in after EA began running Origin. Not even the original Ultima devs were able to save their project from the shit that is Electronic Arts.

I may just be a little too pessimistic about this for my own good however. What do you think, Ausir?
 
no disrespect meant towards Taylor and Anderson, but it's not like I completely trust them to come up with a worthy Fallout game either. I mean, it's been a long time and their influences and tastes have likely changed. hopefully they are aware of what the community wants from a Fallout game and can try to deliver, but they're still not the exact same people who created that great game 10 years ago. not to mention the important people who are not part of FOOL.

I'm gonna keep saying it until I get proven wrong - FOOL might have a great setting, good written dialogue and quests... but it's likely gonna be a half-assed wow clone.
 
I don't have much hope in the game's gameplay, but I'm looking forward to new additions to the Fallout setting from Jason and Chris.

By the way, I'm not sure how many of your know that our own Defonten has also done some concept art for FOOL.
 
I don't have much hope for MMORPG's in general. They all boil down to a few things:

1) Collecting sweet loot and killing newbs.

2) Killing lots of enemies and collecting their teeth,skin,balls,etc.....

3) Talking shit about other MMORPG's


But a MMORPG about Fallout will be more interesting than anything else out right now.

Should one not be worried though as Bethesda have the final say to it in the end?

By the way if they dont come up with some concept till 2010 do they not loose the right to make a MMO or something? I am not a expert ...

I think its up to them what they include as they currently have the rights..

At any rate I think what aenemic posted pretty much sums up how I feel about Fallout nowadays. Tactics and FO:POS were disillusioning for me as a fan and I had hopes that Fallout 3 might bring us back to where we were, and while I defend it, it has too many problems for me to truly be excited about any new Fallout games.

I don't really think we will ever get another Fallout game that will blow us away. FOOL and F4 could possibly do it but I seriously doubt it, even if Jason and Chris are working on FOOL.

However, I am still interested in the setting and new additions to it like Ausir has said.

If they don't gather enough money until this April they lose the license.
