Rhomal Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Fallout is not a MMOG type of game, its an RPG and always will be. Its sad how the mighty Interplay has fallen. I disagree. I do not think there is much real debate against FO as a mmorpg except from a purist standpoint. FO is ideal for a mmorpg setting more so then most IMO. Same argument for Shadowrun can be made, great game to make into a mmorpg, however I could see some purists getting their panties in a bunch over it. The real issue/question is who can execute such that does it justice and make it a viable business. I think with IP its a 50/50 gamble at best due to all the factors.

Krookie Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Just because it isn't a boring click-fest with crappy graphics doesn't mean it can't continue the story. You've seen screenshots. Most of the time, you can't tell what a story will be like from a screenshot. Fallout was many things but boring wasn't one of them and there were a lot of games with crappier graphics back in late 1990s. The screenshots of Bethesda's Fallout, as well statements from the designers themeselves, show that they totally discarded the rules system as while the gameplay style that made Fallout 1 and 2 fun. You mean the boring click-fest gameplay?
Xard Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Shut up Krook Fallout were teh best. Although it's always funny to watch people excite Hades's Drama Queen skillz. And Warcraft is an RTS! It should still be :sad: Stupid WoW for ruining whole warcraft for me. Also, no one answered my question. "$59 million in December 2001 to less than $3 million today." Bull**** or how this happened?

Tale Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Of course that should only account for 5 3/4 million. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Xard Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Stop teasing me with numbers :sad: How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)

Jorian Drake Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) If only Obsidian jump the ship just to make sure interplay folds for and buried for good. Just die already Interplay. Obsidian should buy Interplay....but then at once kick out Herve EDIT: this would also mean Obsidian could use for itself the old Black Isle logo after they bought Interplay....because guess what: the isle is made from OBSIDIAN!

Kelverin Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Don't know where this belongs, but I am all for people getting what they are due. Story Fallout blogger Briosafreak is reporting that Interplay CEO Herve Caen is attempting to track down former employees that he still owes money to for unpaid hours and vacations. If you're a former Black Isle staffer that wound up not getting paid for a few weeks, this should be great news:In case you didn J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning

Pop Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) The publisher also said it has brought back Jason Anderson, a lead artist on the original Fallout game and cofounder of the defunct Troika Games, to serve as creative director for an unannounced MMOG. What the ****. This is embarassing. What could Herve have promised him? What dissonance. Edited November 14, 2007 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Kelverin Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 "Interplay signed a multiyear deal for the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale licenses in 2002, but it's unclear when that arrangement was set to expire." Anybody know the answer to this? J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
Stephen Amber Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Huge part of the appeal of the setting, and important for it's feel, are the vast empty spaces of the wasteland, which I guess wouldn't be so empty with thousands of mutant and bro of steel wannabes running around. What a terrible idea for a MMO...

SteveThaiBinh Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 First Bioware looking for 'writers' for its MMO, and now this. Am I missing something? Have they spotted a way to have interesting stories in MMOs that no-one's ever managed before? I thought there were very good reasons why MMOs couldn't have strong NPC character development, stories and choices - due to the very nature of the beast...

Gorth Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 I guess Jason enjoys working at doomed studios.. Maybe he just likes to work on Fallout games?
