Fallout 3 Back From the Dead?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the posthumous-programming dept.

BiteMyShinyMetalAss writes "According to a GameSpot story, Interplay plans to publish Fallout 3. However, development has not been restarted, and it will likely be farmed out from the sounds of it. There is supposed to be an announcement with more details coming soon to your neighborhood. No Mutants Allowed is also covering it."

    ...but a big name publisher wanting to create a sequel to an amazingly popular game without the original developers? How many times have we heard this before? I believe that the Fallout SPECIAL system is one of the better ones out there, but Fallout 1 and 2 were so great because of the details: the dry humor, the cartoons, the subtle pokes at famous people, etc. Interplay is going to have a hard time replacing the developers' attention to said detail.

    Because of the previous Fallouts, I will probably buy this one, but I'm going to wait a few weeks to see what corners get cut in the sake of budget and schedule (because we all know where quality rates with big companies), as opposed to getting on the waiting list 3 months in advance.

    Note: This is all under the assumption that Interplay didn't fire everyone at Black Isle just to contract them out.

    actually, its been unofficially confirmed by IGN that the game Obsidian is working on is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 (source)

    i know its a bit off-topic but i figured i'd clear that up a bit before people start assuming that Obsibian is making Fallout 3
