Well, I just heard Fallout 3 won't be seeing the light of day anytime soon, from what I could make out, Blackisle is no more and interplay have decided to abandon the project....
Fallout 2 was my favourite game of all time....must've finished the thing like 10 times over.
I'm sure F3 is going to eventually be released, but definitley not by interplay and I'm worried it might not live up to the hype....and the series.
It's just what already happend to many good series (Master of Orion, Heroes of M&M, etc..).
So many times I've wished someone would make the same damn game with a new story and better graphics....but just that.

Fallout 3!!!
I'm stoked that its finally getting made, but I'm not too sure about Bethseda. They seem to be more interested in letting everyone know theyve played Fallout 1 and 2 than in making the game! Whats worse is the glaring mistakes they make when they talk about the games theyve supposedly played...
This from a QA guy working on the game:
"Oh and Fallout Tactics was my favorite out of the bunch. I know they don't directly tie in but I loved Fallout 1 and 2 because of the story. I absolutely hated the combat because real-time was a little too frantic and turn-based was a little too slow. Tactics took the worst part of Fallout (to me anyway) and turned it into a really great experience and a great game to play."
I've played Fallout 1 and 2 more times than I care to admit, and there is NO real time combat. In addition, the lack of story in Fallout Tactics pretty much removes it from the RPG genre. You don't appeal to fans by saying Tactics is your favorite of the series. This kinda crap does not inspire confidence in me. Bethseda should stop worrying about the media and forums and get to work. This game is VERY serious to a lot of people out there, and they better hope they get it right. bethseda has a questionable reputation with fans as it is, this game could make or break them.

yes..it's an RTT, real time tactics... it's very much like commandos so I'm not sure why everybody started shouting when it came out... it never wanted to continue the series... it was just using the franchise...

"yes..it's an RTT, real time tactics"
I played the game turn-based, as I hate real time strat games.
I enjoyed Tactics, but it wasn't really a Fallout game, as far as story and replayability. It was a fun tactical combat game, but I really missed wandering around towns, having the choice to help people or become public enemy number 1.
The thing I'm worried about is Bethseda's history of 3d type games, in addition to the updated graphics of the industry in general. Its going to be natural to want to update the game engine and make the graphics look as good as possible, but to me Fallout is an isometric 2d game, and it should stay that way. Updates are nice. Tactics looked 10 times better than Fallout 2 without making game fully 3d or adding a lot of bells and whistles that distract from the overall game. Lets hope Bethseda doesn't go too far.
