...and it's Fallout 3. Seems they inked a deal with what's left of Interplay and have full creative control over its development.

Uh, no. This is probably as bad or worse than Interplay not doing it.

You're nuts RB...Betesda has made some awesome games, especially Morrowind, which was fantastic.

Rat Boy · « **Reply #3 on:** July 12, 2004, 06:08:12 pm »

I am no fan of Morrowind. Bad controls, bad dialog, bad quests, utterly pointless, and way too over-praised in spite of its mediocrity. A better choice for this would have been Troika or for Bethesda to have hired ex-Black Isles employees to continue their work, but they didn't. Bad, bad news all around.

You gotta be joking. Did Fallout 2 really do that great...and didn't Fallout:Brotherhood of Steel like die an early death!?

Iceman · « **Reply #5 on:** July 12, 2004, 09:13:21 pm »

Fallout 2 is probably the best RPG game ever.

Anyways, heres the lineage.

Wasteland (kinda)
Fallout
Fallout2
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel

Tactics, as it is, is a squad based RPG, much like the SWAT games.

Fallout BOS is a first person pile of steaming dung on the XBOX that received terrible reviews and commercial failure. Too bad they were already 1/4 into Fallout BOS 2 before it flopped. HA!

Fallout 3 (Van Buren, for those following the story) was in development at Black Isle before Interplay died.

After that, Interplay (just recently) annoucned a Fallout MMORPG (think Galaxies) to dig them out of their financial trouble. And now this new announcement? weird.

Heh, I love the Fallout Games, except for the Last two.Didn't EA try to do a Semi-Sequal between Wasteland and Fallout 1?

And Yes I agree Fallout 2 was one of the Best RPG's ever. Right Up there with Planescape Torment IMHO.

Man, now don't think I'm a nostalgic loser, but I'm playing Fallout 2 right now for like the 10th time. Just entered Navarro, gonna get my powered armor, and go kill some scumball slavers.

Sirgod · « **Reply #8 on:** July 13, 2004, 01:28:32 pm »

Not at all EZKILL. I still Play this game about 4-5 times a year. It's Just Classic. I even Play Wasteland everynow and then using a C-64 emulater.

Except for the last two, Meaning the FPS on Xbox and Tactics? I couldn't agree more. I've never played Wasteland though. Here's hoping FO3 isn't Morrowmind with guns.

Sirgod · « **Reply #10 on:** July 13, 2004, 01:45:34 pm »

Let Me know Iceman, I'll try to get you a copy of Wasteland and the Emulator. I have them on Cd somewhere here, I just need to find them again.

BTW, You will need Moslo if you use the Pc version of that old Classic.

Stephen

Iceman · « **Reply #11 on:** July 13, 2004, 02:58:39 pm »

Moslo?

Sirgod · « **Reply #12 on:** July 13, 2004, 03:06:34 pm »

It's a Program that Slows down DOS Games Because of The Power the Proccs have now. If you didn't use It, You would click the move left button one time and your Characters would Fly to the east and Die.

Imagine trying to play Ultima one with the bad Boy Pc's we have today. It would be like trying to Play OP with everything at Warp Speed.

Here's some more info on this Tool
