The chance of Fargo selling the Wasteland IP to Troika is about the same as Herve shipping the Fallout MMORPG. It's not going to happen. Fargo had wanted to get the Wasteland IP from EA for over a decade, so he's not going to turn around and sell it anytime soon. Plus, I believe that...

Wow. Talk about not seeing the reality of the situation. :shock: Yes, they do. Herve still owes the past due rent to Arden, and that will take a chunk of the Bethesda money right off the top. Afraid the CA Labor Board has something different to say about that. The longer Herve delays...

I know Interplay was working on Earthworm Jim 4. They had a storyline, concept art, and were working on a 3D engine. It got put on hold, indefinitely, and most of the team shifted over to Exaulted. Too bad, it looked promising.

Yep, that online community keeps getting bigger and bigger..................in the unemployment line. :twisted: www.gamespot.com/news/2004/07/19/news_6102981.html

Atari went for it because Herve can now pay them , in cash, for the D&D royalties, instead of making empty promises of payment with future profits from BGDA2. Atari has already hurt Herve as best they could. They've kept him from selling BGDA2 for over a quarter of the year, and with the...

So, in your opinion will the Bethesda deal ultimately kill the FOOL project (I hope)? Unfortunately by retaining the online gaming rights, it sounds like Herve will continue to pursue the Fallout MMORPG scam...I mean....game :twisted: , now that he has some cash to keep him and the rats...

Actually, Scott Campbell created the world of Fallout. Tim was the lead programmer for Fallout 1 and created the SPECIAL system, once Interplay dropped the GURPS license. I'm not trying to take away from Tim's or Leonard's contributions to Fallout, but I would like to give credit where...

Wait a minute, I didn't write that. That was ExtremeRyno. :twisted: Isometric has been the POV for all incarnations of the Fallout series, and it was going to be the POV for BIS's Fallout 3 game (it was very similar to Dungeon Siege). It would be strange to see it in another POV...

Bethesda is not a bad home for the Fallout license. I've stated in the past that Bethesda was very interested in the Fallout license, and that many of the people that work there are longtime fans of the series. I doubt that they'll use the VB code. They'll most likely be using the next...

Chuck's been gone since FOBOS shipped. He's at Sammy San Diego (working on Darkwatch, I believe). So, Herve has the rats all to himself. Though Troika would be a good choice to do a Fallout game there are some problems: 1) Money: They don't have the funds to develop Fallout on their own...

They have a few other licenses (besides Fallout) that are worth something to certain publishers: 1) BattleChess 2) Descent 3) Freespace 4) Kingpin 5) Earthworm Jim 6) Dark Alliance 7) Redneck Rampage Note: Fallout is definitely the crown jewel of Interplay's existing catalog of...

Fargo probably played FOBOS just to get an idea of what not to do in his games. After all, he is using the same kind of Snowblind engine for Bard's Tale, and I'm pretty sure that he'll use the same technology for Wasteland, once he gives the project the green light. That's the beauty of...

according to frymuchan at Ragingbull: I'm guessing that frymuchan must have a lot of money invested in Interplay to place his hopes on something like Exalted. The fact the he believes that Exalted is near completion tells me that he has no clue about the project. I don't believe that...

Yep. Just look at the amazing success of MMOGs like.... "Mythica"....I mean.... "Warhammer Online"....err... "True Fantasy Online"....merde!! You know its the last desperate act of a CEO when he's trying to get into the MMORPG market and has absolutely no clue what is involved in...

A possible example of Herve working with the investigators: Fryer: "Ok, this is the sixth storage place you've brought us to. Are you sure this is the right place?" Herve: "It looks right. I'm pretty sure the records are in here." Fryer: "That's what you said the last five friggin'...
