Black Isle Studios Shuts Down Development
Zonk writes "RPGDot has a story up right now about the closing down of development at Black Isle Studios. The information comes from an unnamed Interplay source, who says 'Any time you see the [Black Isle] logo on a future product, know that no one who was associated with BIS actually worked on it', as well as a post by BIS employee Damien Foletto on the Interplay message boards, and a Blue's News story that adds: 'The non-announced [PC] title that the division was working on, Fallout 3 [aka Van Buren], has been 'shelved', to quote management.' BIS, you will be missed." Black Isle are particularly known for work on the Fallout series, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment.
Who fucking cares?
Pronounce it slowly with me...
Gayyyyyyyymes are gay
like EA?
We played dungeons and dragons for 3 hours.....then i was slain by an elf
Nonono... the collective cry of Fallout fans is:
sigh... YEAH!
FO3 canned? well now with a bit of luck FOBOS will either flop or be canned and they'll need more money to stay afloat and perhaps they will sell the licence to someboy who will not place more whores and mutants!
Not because of BIS, but the managers wanted to whore the francise.
Congrats to the muppet who modded this sad attempt to start an open source argument up as insightful.

Eat shit and die you techno-addicts. Technology is the downfall of humanity. Go fuck yourself.
Wow, name-calling. CNN should hire you for Crossfire. You'd rule!
I hate liberals. If you are a liberal, do not reply.
"The whole thing revolved around story, not combat"
Three words: Read a book.
Yes, amazing as it may seem, books in general are based on story not combat. The only problem is that if your hardware isn't good enough to enjoy a particular book, your pretty much sh|t out of luck.
