+75 Internets | Fallout MMO coming I don't recall seeing any Fallout related threads other then wishful thinking. Some of us might have heard about the Fallout license aquirement by Bathesda. Interplay will start raising the capitol it needs to fund Fallout MMO development. Their projected timetable calls for a 2010 release.

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/da...24/ex10-49.txt I'm extremely wary of Interplay developing this inhouse. Last edited by Zarcath; 08-18-2007 at 03:54 AM.. | |

+1 Internets | I have this mental image in my mind's eye of the Fallout license as a pristine, radiant projection of the female form, coalesced in part and in whole of ensorcelling beauty, and of Interplay as the drunket frat fuck in his fraternity's closet blindly groping with untrained hands as the rape commences. It's not pretty. |

| Brilliant! | Depends on who they get to head the project up. BTW, this isn't necessarily news except for them saying that they're persuing funding. Back when it was announced that Bethesda was getting the rights to make a Fallout game, special mention was made in almost every article I read that stated Interplay maintained the exclusive rights to create an MMO of the property. |

| Brilliant! | I'm sure they would, or possibly will eventually, but when the Fallout license was up for grabs, Interplay made sure to include a caveat which allowed them to keep the rights for that purpose only. Besides, given Bethesda's track record with single player games, we're better off... for now. |

Anyhow, call me in '09 and we can bash what the fuckers end up doing to a solid game franchise that doesn't in any way translate into a solid MMO setting.

| I've always thought Bethesda's worldbuilding was very good, but their mechanics in most games sucked. If they'd just take care of making the world and let a company like interplay deal with the actual, you know, gameplay, then that would be a perfect fit. |

| I don't know why you would say Fallout doesn't translate into an MMO. I think it's a damn good fit actually and would be more interesting than yet-another-high-fantasy game if done well. Doing it well, however, is a different matter entirely. |

| As bad as the idea of Interplay doing the MMO is, it's infinitely preferable to Bethesda having anything at all to do with it.

+3 Internets | Bethesda has the balls on this project thats for sure. 3.0 OWNERSHIP. 3.1 SOLE OWNER. Interplay acknowledges and agrees that, as between the parties, Bethesda is the sole and exclusive owner of the Licensed Marks. Bethesda may, in its sole discretion, maintain or discontinue the maintenance of any applications and registrations for the Marks or seek registration for any Licensed Mark at any time.

| Try playing a non-GOTY edition of Morrowind to find out exactly why Bethesda shouldn't make an mmorpg in house. Quote:
