Where it stands now?

Ok I love fallout (someone loving fallout on a fallout message board? NO! Go on!) and all but I'm at kinda a rift when it comes to F3. OK see it goes like this. I had F1&2 in a bundle package a couple years back and was all over it and after that I hadn't much interest in FoT cause it wasn't RPG. About 2 months ago I heard about BoS but never pursued it (I hear it sucked balls anyway... I'll prolly look into it) but getting down to F3. Recently saw tactics in the bookstore for 5 bucks and thus reignighted my interest. Now the thing is though I can't find quality info on the F3 aka Van Buren project. The most I can figure is that Interplay went bankrupt (which is why their site is gone) and that someone (the producer was it?) died. Really thats the whole extent of my knowledge on the subject...

Tactics can't compare with Fo1 and 2 but i enjoyed played it even 2 times finished .

Well naturally. They took about all the RPG outta it and made it like a soldier who can level up game. Fun but like you said cant compare.

We do have news posted here.
The forum also has a search function.

Ok but I was wondering if what I had so far was correct

 

[SuAside]

1) interplay is in deep shit
2) interplay has sold the license to Bethesda
3) F3 is no longer VanBuren (Beth is going to start from scratch, we dont even know if it will be TB, SPECIAL, top-down iso,...)
4) as Rosh said, go to the forum overview and click the little thing called NEWS FORUM (how wonderful they named the forums after what is on it dont you think? you can actually read some news there!)

Not quite, DarkLunacy, but there's a few things of note that you should know. As I wouldn't know where to start aside from just filling in some gaps and errors you have there, I'd honestly suggest that you start from about three months back and read on in the news in chronological order. It should give you a good idea of what's going on.
