It`s with great sorrow that i bring this news, although expected i`m still doing this newsbit with tears in my eyes.
<blockquote>I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but the "good" folks at Interplay have laid off everyone at BIS.BIS is no longer. Anytime you see the BIS logo on a future product, know that no one who was associated w/ BIS actually worked on it. BIS is nothing more than a sticker that IPLY slaps on their future product. </blockquote>
So, how about Fallout3:
<blockquote>Van Buren/Fallout3 has been "shelved," as the geniuses at IPLY have put it. Console only is the word of the day now. Even though Van Buren was half-way finished, the 'tards in charge have decided they want to do Exalted console and FOBOS 2. The simple fact they are making FOBOS2 even when FOBOS when hasn't shipped and is hated by the Fallout community says a lot about their intelligence. Not to mention Van Buren would be the only game they could possibly ship by X-mas next year.
</blockquote>
Yes, Interplay decided to suspend Fallout3, lay off the staff, and make FOBOS2 instead.
This came from several sources close to BIS, all i got from the devs was silence and this:
*sigh*

You can scream your rage now, let them hear our voices.
 
You expected something different?

No, but i had to keep quiet and see if something happened . It didn`t, so why should i be quiet? Ok you`ve been there, done that, who cares what you think at this point? Let me SCREAM I HATE INTERPLAY AND I HATE THE SHITHEADS CAEN BROTHERS as loud as i can, does that bhother you? No? Fine.
 
Thanks for the terrific Fallout 3 coverage while it lasted, NMA news team. The game seemed to be shaping up nicely, and, though its cancellation isn't particularly surprising, it's still a real disappointment.

Thanks, if we`re thinking "all this work for nothing", how are the guys that did work on Fallout3 thinking?...

A sad affair
 
Well Briosafreak, if I decide to resign as a SuperMod and sell my shares are you going to talk me out of it again like last time? :cry:

I can't even imagine how they feel. Two games in a row into which they've poured all of that effort without a title on the shelf to show for it. I really, really hope that their next jobs are significantly more rewarding. They deserve much better than this.
 
Yes we all appreciate the work of the NMA news team. Much as the work of the BIS team was appreciated. Maybe not all this was said aloud, but it was there.

Thanks Briosafreak and Odin. (and others)

Yeah, Joseph is fine since it's my real name.

That paragraph in your thread starter looks familiar. I had something the exact same thing in my email when I checked just now.
 
I don't think I've ever posted here before under any names, but I've been lurking for years ever since I first fell deep into the world of Fallout and still don't want to climb out. A year ago, I was resigned to never see a third Fallout. I signed the petition, I still checked the site, and then one day the news came through and I felt like a kid actually excitedly waiting for a game to come out for the first time in a minute. Ah, well, Interplay fucked us and now that it's too late, I only hope that their shortsightedness kills them and the ex-BIS guys can buy the rights to the game for $4 from some bankrupt executives.

Thanks to yall for keeping the site going all these year, never without the Fallout 3 faq for us to poor over now and then.

And much love to everybody who made the first Fallouts happen.

Peace.
 
This is a sad day. Briosa- you've done a great job keeping us updated. I hope you realize how much your work here has been appreciated.

As for the Interplay guys, they blow.
 
Boo-fucken-hoo. This aint right. The worst thing about all of it is that they have gone and proven that Visceris was right all along. That'll probably go right to his head.
