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."

    I'd rather it never come out that have it come out, and suck.


    I'll buy it either way, I can't help myself... and they know it. :o(

  2. Obsidian's Delaware Project? by Kulic · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is just idle speculation, but Obsidian Entertainment hasn't announced what it's "Delaware" project is yet (nor have they announced who the publisher is). They are also hiring, possibly indicating another project. There is plenty of speculation on the forums, but no official word yet.

    If they were finishing off FO3, I'd definitely buy it. Look who founded Obsidian, any of those names look familiar?

    I wouldn't expect too much from this... expect some big news related to Interplay very soon. Them being late on rent is a good indication of what is about to be announced.

    Lord knows BoS was a valient attempt, but just didn't pan out. (What do you mean I can't climb over, move, cut open, blow up, or otherwise get over a waist-height pile of sandbags!?

    Still, if whoever winds up finishing it are fans of the series, something good may happen.

    I think Troika did a pretty good job, all limitations given. Atari was stingy with the money, and WotC overrid some of the content that they wanted to put in, forcing them to strip a lot of stuff out at the last minute.

    Yeah, they bit off a bit more than they could chew, but I don't think it was really Troika's fault other than being overconfident.

    I want to add that another game idea Interplay has been shopping around is a sequel to Descent, according to GameSpy.
