Fallout 3 Back From the Dead?

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."

    I hope they pick someone who can do the series justice. Not a developer that will just dig the grave for us.

    I have windows on my computer. Right on the side of the case

    they'll probably botch it up. Fallout and Fallout 2 were both games with dated graphics which still ended up with a vocal, if not huge, following. I just replayed Fallout 2 last week myself. Their skill system was excellent but I don't think that explains the popularity. Instead I think it was a combination of that alongside the attenion put into the gameplay itself. CRPG are usually nasty linear affairs and while Fallout suffered from some of that you could still complete the game in a variety of ways and with a variety of different starting characters. A Big Dumb Slugger was one way but most recently I finished it with a grifter. Good speech skills, excellent pickpocketing skills.
