I'm still wondering why I should care about Fallout being whored out again.

Yeah, it's gotten to the point where Interplay has passed the "Screw me twice...", but a long time ago.

Seriously, anyone who wonders why we give them shit needs a serious clue. They've lied to us, jerked us around, etc.

Whereas people like Troika, Zero-Sum, etc. have been very forthright and honest. Sure, if they make something I don't care about, who cares? But their concerns are about the spirit of GAMING intrinsic.

Confirmation at last. I remember seeing Fallout:Brotherhood on EB's release list a while back, and there was no way they'd be porting Tactics to console. So this is it huh?

Anyone want to join me for a ride?

We're going to need a shiteload of pallbearers to carry the lifeless corpse of the greatest RPG the world has ever known. And we need some eugooglies.

Here's a mail I've sent to the guy responsible for this:

Chuck,

Dude, I'm a huge fan. I love your work! So do a lot of people
judging by the success Fallout Enforcer is getting! Check this out!

Man, those sure are some happy comments there!

Wow! You're a regular phenom, Chuck! You really know what the
people want!

http://www.evilavatar.com/EA/News/M43893/#discussion

Yup, it's fun all around, ain't it? The people, man. You're speaking
their lingo with this game!

It's not just the general news sites either, Chuck! There's much love
for you on the Fallout fan sites, too!

http://www.nma-fallout.com
http://www.duckandcover.net

There is MUCH rejoicing going on! Happiness has spread like a
cheap whore on dock day!

In fact, check your own forum, your home turf!

http://feedback.interplay.com/viewforum.php?f=55

Look at all the people cheering you on! We're wondering, Chuck.
What's next? Don't keep us in the dark!

Don't think this could change? It's not just the Fallout sites where people are pissed off, guys. It's everywhere at this point.

It will be canned.
Everyone hates this idea- us because it's flat out heresy, them because they hate fallout.

Makaar · Mar 13, 2003

Let us remember Fallout for what it WAS. The best fucking Computer Role Playing Game...perhaps ever.

Constipated Craprunner · Mar 13, 2003

Hy Saint- how about a Fantasy Kill IPLY forum to prove a point?

Jarinor · Mar 13, 2003

Oh, the humanity. Won't someone PLEASE think of the children?

Seriously, what genius thought this up? Looks like they've been working on it for a while (but the same happened with TORN), so hopefully it will be canned. This really probably would be a low selling title though, as how many dialogue options could you be given? It'd just be action, so why not just making it a post apocalyptic setting, without any references to the BoS, and especially the Fallout "alternate future"?

Course, no one at BIS is reading this, so what's the point?

Constipated Craprunner · Mar 13, 2003

They would be reading an entire section of the site dedicated to stoping this game!
COME ON, LETS DO OUR PART!

Makaar · Mar 13, 2003

The game will ruin the series. This seems almost unreal...they have betrayed us.

Saint_Proverbius · Mar 13, 2003

If you want to voice your displeasure, there's a link to the Fallout Enforcer forum at Interplay in that email. I suggest you do it there.

Constipated Craprunner · Mar 13, 2003

MY account has become inactive.
Or something.
Damn, wish I could flame.........

HA! HA!

You know, April 1st is coming (somewhat) soon, maybe this is an April Fool's Joke?

Please God, say it is.

Zetor · Mar 13, 2003

Well... fuck.
"Chuck is about to make you his bitch."

I'm not a Fallout fanboy (though it's in my top 10 list), but geez. WTF is Interplay thinking?!
Not to mention that the graphics look like ass -- at first glance, I thought they were developing the game for the PS1. Do they really expect that G-strings, boobies and dualwielded guns will sell the game? Unless they're making a Tomb Raider clone, that is. Yeah, that'd work. *shudder*

/me mourns the Interplay he knew that passed away around 2000

-- Z.

Araanor · Mar 13, 2003

Well fuck. They finally went and did it.

For the sake of Black Isle, I hoped Interplay wouldn't die off. Now, nothing would make me happier. Corporate whorism in gaming on a new level, or not really. Enforcer indeed.

Someone should've e-mailed the poll-guy at IP's site with this suggestion for a poll:

What kind of Fallout game do you want?
1. Role-playing game.
2. Tactical combat game.
3. Console action game.

Maybe it would have given them SOME inkling of why everyone kept voting for FO.

HanoverF · Mar 13, 2003

Next they'll re-release Fallout with real time combat and all the guns turned into walkie-talkies.

Sabotai · Mar 13, 2003

Has any of the developers of Fallout Enforcer dared to post on the IPLY forum yet?

No, because I think it's pretty safe to say they would be taking flak from NON-Fallout fans as well. Even casual gamers are raising the bullshit flag.

Sabotai · Mar 13, 2003

Can think of some company really happy with Interplay right now: Bioware. They'll be very glad that Interplay is taking massive damage with this.

MF · Mar 13, 2003

Oh god. Dear god. They don't even know what a scorpion looks like.
The screenshots are funny.
The best one is the two flametroopers with skulls flanked by the hot chics following the leader hot chick in bikini across a bunch of sand with maligned textures.

Sabotai · Mar 13, 2003

Looking at those screenshots makes you want to create a RPG in which you start out as a naked chick wearing only a G-string.
The purpose of the game is to try to acquire as many garments as you can.
To this end you can cheat, screw, lie, work, adventure, blow up things, rob graves etc. as long as you get yourself covered up.
You win when you look something like a nun wearing a Burqa.

MF · Mar 13, 2003

What a load of crud. The skulls on the 'tanks' actually make the crapiness complete.

Vault Dweller · Mar 13, 2003

Holy fuck!!!! I've been away for a few days, so I totally missed the big news. Wow. I can't say I am really surprised, I did not expect much from Interplay anyway, but this.... I just want to know how the fuck they came up with a brilliant idea like this one. Is it because Bliz is doing Ghost? At least Ghost screens don't look like shit. And why the need to whore out the Fallout name? Console players don't give a fuck about it. And who the fuck thought of "a mysterious and heavily sought-after device"? How do they come up with the original shit like that? And what's with a new BOS logo?

To butcher a franchise like that should be considered a crime against humanity and all things decent.

Rayt · Mar 13, 2003

I honoustly don't care. It's not like it will replace Fallout 3, so why all the outrage.

FO BoS for PS2????
