Wow that is an interesting read. I can't believe how greedy Bethesda is if this is true. I also think if Interplay can make new Fallout games after Fallout 5 from Bethesda then that too is interesting. I really think if this is true then Bethesda shot them selves in the foot. Because Interplay now will know people will want a game like Bethesda made and will make one like that. But if I am really lucky one that is the top down view. That I want to see. So this will be an interesting battle if this goes to court.

I hope Interplay wins after reading this I was shock to see the underhanded moves Bethesda were using to mess with the sells of fallout 1&2&B.

MisterNiwa6060d ago

Its hard to read your post Joe, because there are many grammar errors.

maybe you should check your own post before commenting on others poor grammar.

DaCajun6060d ago

LMAO, I thought the same thing when I read his remark also.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. People just never learn that if you're going to insult someone about their intelligence, they should first make sure they are intelligent enough to pull it off. Plus either way they just end up looking like an A**hole.

BlackIceJoe6059d ago

Sorry about the errors it was just one of those days and I was in a rush. Plus I was thinking what I was saying and I guess it came out different then what I was saying in my head. I should have reread it but like I said was in a rush.

Interplay needs to make a new Icewind Dale or something ~.~
They were awesome at making rpgs back in the day when they had Black Isle.

STONEY46060d ago

Interplay needs to make a new MDK. And Fallout. And Planescape.

Elven66060d ago

Interplay needs to get some cash first, buy their games on Good Old Games, support the cause!

The Fallout franchise returning to Interplay would be amazing, I've been playing he first two games recently and I am amazed. Fallout 3 was good but it felt too much like Oblivion to me, infact, it wasn't even as indepth as Oblivion!

Plus, Fallout 2 letting you be a pornstar = hilarious!

Rifle-Man6060d ago

LOL! You got to be a pornstar in Fallout 2? I just ended up as a fluffer.

I knew I should've picked that Sex Appeal perk!

Tex1176060d ago

Bethesda was "out lawyered" by Interplay.

Good for Interplay and their legal representation.

Anybody know the law firms involved?

free2game3656060d ago

I'd be rooting for interplay normally, but I remember now that the company is headed by Herve Caen now. So anyone who actually cares about Fallout is long gone.

mrv3216060d ago

I want Van Buren as a Fallout 3 expansion or just running of an improved Fallout 3 engine.

That'd be sweet.

Ausir6059d ago

Not everyone. Chris Taylor, lead designer of Fallout 1, is still at Interplay.

Ausir6059d ago

Van Buren wouldn't work as a Fallout 3 expansion. First, I'd prefer it to use the original gameplay style. Second, it would need map travel like in the originals, since it spanned the entire four states and wasn't a compressed version of one city and its surroundings like Bethesda's FO3.

Elven66059d ago

There is also a little know studio out there called "Obsidian Entertainment" which employees and was created by a majority of the ex Black Isle staff.

30fps sucks. Especially on an OLED.

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart132d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken7131d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies12133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel1989132d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_132d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg132d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher132d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq1132d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.
