Thank you

I'm just an ignorant slob with no real knowledge of the gaming industry, but couldn't Interplay just make Fallout 3 and then ports for Xbox or other consoles. Or vice versa for the PC?

Perhaps they were going to but thought there was too much overlap with FO:BOS. Maybe they are waiting to see how well FO:BOS does, and if it is successful then they will continue with Fallout 3 for PC and console?

It seems silly to throw away an already established name (Fallout series) as you already have gamers who know about it and would be willing to buy it based on their experiences with the previous Fallout games.

Complex RPGs generally don't do well on consoles. Plus the difference between PC and console for an RPG game is pretty big. No, it's not that easy.

Sorry, no, they wouldn't fire/relocate the entire BIS team if that were true

Heh, yes, it does seem silly. It seems you on your own posses more real knowledge of the gaming industry than the bosses of Interplay ;)

O, the number 13 on JES avatar: Prisoner number.


Note: I can't say this for sure. No one told me any of this, just a guess. A good one in IMO.

Thanks!

I hope this isn't something everone caught on the first glance, and thought it was so obvious that they didn't care to point it out.... :P
 
I didn't catch it. Of course I was too :( to go over it with a fine tooth comb. On a second look, it makes sense to me.
 
You sleep with 3 or 4 male sheep and all of a sudden people start slinging all sorts of names at you.


I suppose that my favortie show is Alias and that I have "kum" (kumquats a fruit! shit, that doesn't help) in my name doeasn't help my case any.

EDit: Why kharn? Did you want to join in? Its BYOS (Bring Your Own Sheep) :twisted:

Oy!

It's not true!

I only looked at the sheep. And...stroked it...it's a beautiful creature.

But no more! Y'hear me?! I did not have sexual relations with that sheep

*runs*
 
... :shock: I cant believe that they cancelled it. A game me and virtually everyone I know that I could get to play Fallout 2 had been looking forward to for years... :( :sob: its just not fair....looking at that opening scene just made it that much harder. If there is more please show us, I for one just have to know what could have been....

sigh

well I'm going to go kill myself now :wall: .... :lighten: ...or..maybe I'll just go to sleep

Thanks for all the great times BIS :clap: , I will always remember you. :(

Hmm, looks like I replied to the wrong thread. The comment was directed against someone trying to have a discussion with ShadowPaladin on the Interplay boards. That's why you don't post at 2 am...

Sweet! :ugly:

Fucking Interplay!

Honestly, Briosafreak, I don't know if I want these screenies for posterity or if they make me too sad.

Makes you sad... I literally got a bit choked up (no, I'm not kidding). Fallout is the reason I got into the industry. :(
 
We feel your pain Puuk, what especially got me ticked was the fact that they gave you all the sack..

Indeed, that's just fucked.

Heh, you'll land on your feet, though, Puuk, the world's filled with gaming companies that could use a good man :ok:
