The end of Fallout3...again

The folks who made all the Fallouts (or were working on the new one) are still alive, and will be working on other things in the future.

And the fanbase (that'd be you folks, and me, and whoever else) are definitely the most intense and tenacious fans I've ever seen, and I've seen more than a few.

You guys are the reason I bought all the games. I figgered there HAD to be something to 'em, what with the longevity of interest in the title.

You'd think even a dim-witted marketing-weasel guy would realize what kind of goldmine this particular cult is. Actually, I'm sure some there'll be at least a couple of dim-witted marketing weasels that recognize it, so I don't imagine it's going to be too much of a problem for any of the game designers to find jobs, or for anybody like me to find a game I'm gonna like soon.

Just put "From one of the guys who worked on Fallout" on the box and "Cha-ching."
 
Hey everyone, first time poster, but i've lurked the boards for quite sometime. I was just as devastated as anyone by the news, and i especially feel bad for everyone at BIS. But now, since VB was cancelled, would it be alright if you guys (Puuk or Briareus or any other BIS guys) just told us outright that it WAS Fallout 3, and like what the story was and stuff? This might just make it hurt even more, but i feel like I HAVE to know.
 
I believe the kind folks over at DAC are planning an attack of their own...

How the HELL are they expecting to last the week? Christmas is over thataway, a week or two away, and they're laying off folks?

They really need to die. My birthday is January 2nd, so I think we should make the Annual SDF Celebration a seige on their webboards.

As for Interplay and their fucked up move, I say we fuck 'em as hard as we can.

Why?

Because...

Methinks they're still not allowed.

And welcome. Man, these hordes of people registering just to give a voice to their outrage is a beautiful sight.
 
I'll say!

We just doubled our "most users online at one time evar" record over night!

Come, ye lurkers, come into the light!

Well, despite the sad times, you and all our former lurkers now registered are welcome to join NMA's community, be it for nostalgic discussion of Fallout on the Fallout Discussion forum or just for banter on the General Discussion forum, you're welcome.
 
Perhaps we should make a list of all the lurkers who came to mourn with us on this sad sad day?

Like a guestbook at a funeral or something?
 
I don't know what to say. I'm very very sad :cry: Interplay the company that I once loved has backstabbed me.
 
I typically hate DAC enough to not participate in anything that they do, but now I am willing to help anything they want to do to hurt Interplay. So, where do we plan this? Have a special forum for people we can trust to plan for Jan. 2?
 
hey all! never posted before either, but I've been following the scene all the time

just wanna say how sad I am about all this..the end of "true" fallout?..no..this can't be for real :( :( :(

fuck you you fucking fuck interplay!
 
hhhaaaahhhh..... the saddest thing i think about this whole deal, is that mostly everyone was truely pasimistic about it!! and i wasn't
see here if you are not offened by low intelligance comments(http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3267)

i wish ther was FO3! and i haven't lost hope-even now.

nothing can stand the will, and i won't.
 
And yet, I doubt that none of you are ashamed as I.

I defended FO:BOS. I said, "Wait and see, it might be good." "How do you know its crappy? It hasn't been released yet," I said.

Yet, now, even if it does turn out to be a good game it has become an abomination to me. Its become the archetypal poster child of bad executive decisions.

Here's my post on the IPLY boards.

And in case they delete it.

It won't work.

But still, I've never seen a company be quite so fiscally irresponsible as Interplay. How can you make a sequel to a game that hasn't been released yet? Is there any guarantee that it'll be succesful?

And how could you forsake a platform with the largest user base of any on the market?

And how in God's name could you let go your only quality developer?

You've killed my favorite franchise, you've destroyed on of my favorite developers, and you've become the epitomy of stupid publishers.

Fuck you, Interplay. Hanging would be too good for you.

I hope Interplay realizes that they've not only destroyed everything good they had going for them, but the effectively doomed FOBOS. Abso-fuckin-lutely NO ONE will buy that pile of shit now. The only thing it had goin for it was the fact that loyal fallout fans would have bought it to finance FO3
 
Neither would I nor many others. That it would bring money to Fallout 3 would be one of the biggest myths ever, mainly since it would only convince the addled chimps at Inertplay that consoles are more popular. They look at the Final Fantasy sales and those from companies that try to innovate and do good, and drool like mindless sheep; like poor developers/publishers, they try to clone that success a little too verbatim.
 
Fuck ! I got drunk and now I'm more depressed. Fuck you IPLY !!! The title that brought you most money and fame is now abandoned by you ? FOBOS ? Are you nuts ? You will be bankrupt !!! There is no hope for you. The guys from BIS shouldn't be fired. Those fucking bastards who can't think from Interplay should be torched alive.
