Will there ever by another Fallout game
Hey
I think the greatest games I've ever played must be fallout and fallout 2. I also tried Fallout Tactics.....but that didn't do it for me. Does anyone know if there are any plans for making Fallout 3 ? Does anyone have any suggestions about other roleplaying games i could try out that are similar to fallout |

After the (sad) demise of project jefferson, the future of BIS looked pretty bleak, from the fans' perspective, but since Interplay and WotC fragged BIS over due to Jefferson, us fans felt that FO3 was probably the best next project to tackle, since BIS need'd have worried about D&D rules and crap.
Sadly, licensing and financial issues (at that time) came into play, and F3 looked unlikely, as BIS annouced that Jefferson was indefinately suspended and that they would concentrate on their platform games for the time being. We basically has to be satisfied with IWD2.... Shortly after that, a new game was reportedly under development, codenamed Van Buren (BIS code all their projects with the names of US presidents. I want to see what type of game Clinton will be). Van Buren might be FO3. we hoped. Supposedly Van Buren would have hit the shelves early in 2004, but then J.E. Sawyer left (head designer, and all-round great guy), which made the fans howl in anguish. FO3 is probably the most anticipated game in the CRPG community, and Fallout is definately the BIS ghame with the most fans. And our opinion is that Interplay should go **** itself. I just visited BIS's sub-forum at http://forums.interplay.com Doesn't seem like much has changed in the last couple of weeks. Officially, Van Buren is still to be released next year, but Interlpay's track record at canning games in pre-production doesn't bode well, especially considering the silence on their pasrt of late. And then Van Buren might also not be FO3. Hope this answers your question.

sure thing.
I'm a bona fide BIS fan. Used to hang on their boards every day, but a whole score of us left when Interplay closed down the community forums early in this year. But I check in every now and again.... Glad to keep fellow gamers out there updated. Check out the BIS forum from time to time. BIS is unique i that their design team actually do read their message boards and answer fans' queries. Some of our suggestions haev even been incorporated in games (BG2: ToB & IWD2). Great Company, Great Guys. Too bad they belong to Interplay.

fallout rules- I cant belive that nothing more has happened than has with it- great story, great engine- WTF- if it can't somehow prosper, then what can- just generaly pisses me off that there arent ten of them - even though tactics looked like a rush job
speaking of which- anybody heard of add ons (fan created or otherwise) for the existing three? I just wish there was a vs computer option for the tactics multiplayer- would make it a helluva better game.....

God I loved the Fallout games. Those and the various Baldur's Gate style games must have absorbed hundreds of hours of my life.
But what are you going to do, the addiction is overpowering. As for another go around, I sure hope so.

Aww man....Fallout....Makes me want to donn the trusty old Vault suit and be a post-apocolyptic badass all over again. GOD those games were just boss. Hard luck on the first vault dweller. As for the chosen one, well he got a better ending. If I can find those games, I'm buying them on the spot.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Then I realized that the company that made Fallout 1/2, Baldur's Gate 1/2 and Planescape Torment is being scrapped to make a shitty 3rd person console game (FO:POS). That's when I started crying...

Hopefully the crew from the Studio can go somewhere else that is finanically stable and create new amazing games. I'd love to see the crew from BIS go to Bioware P.S. I believe although Black Isle and Bioware worked together on the Baldur's Gate games that Bioware is listed as the offical developer for those games. Black Isle Studios did the Icewind Dale and Fallout games solo.

Yeah, it's really sad that Black Isle is no more. It's unlikely there will ever bee a Fallout game, unless someone (Obsidian Entertainment, perhaps?) buys out the license from Interplay. And that's extremely likely, given how Interplay has raped the license (FO:POS).
Fortunately, the Baldurs Gate series was made by Bioware,who have continued to make excellent RPG's. Neverwinter Nights may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I've heard extremely positive things to Knights of the Old Republic. Looking forward to finding some time to fire that one up.. |

Also, I doubt the FO community would have any problems with FO3 if the original BIS team were contracted to work on it. Quote:

Though I'm trying not to dwell on this, did anyone see the supposed screen shots for Fallout 3? One of them seemed to suggest Fallout 3 would have an online feature of some sort.

Fallout 3 might still live:
Obsidian Entertainment (http://www.obsidianent.com/index.html) was formed late last year from mainly BIS staff. They have a total of 21 ex-BIS developers and along with Silver Style are the front runners in a bid to acquire the rights from Interplay, assuming Interplay will sell the rights. Obsidian also formalised partnership agreements with Bioware last year, so even if they do not produce FO3, they have RPG expertise galore, and we can be looking forward to quality RPG's once more. Obsidian has not released a game to date. Silver Style, Troika and a few other companies have also succeeded in acquiring one or two BIS developers.
