"I’ve been pretty clear on the fact that I love Fallout in all its forms. From the classic turn-based RPG by Interplay to the first-person sequels by Bethesda. When I heard that there was a game called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl that would let me wander around a radioactive wasteland using a mix of first person shooting, RPG and free roaming I was terribly excited because it sounded a lot like Fallout 3. I’m afraid that I wasn’t cool enough to have played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. when it came..."
"The details of the settlement have been made public and Bethesda now has full rights to the the Fallout Intellectual Property and to develop their own Fallout MMO. Interplay had allegedly begun development on the Fallout MMO with Masthead Studios but a second lawsuit by Bethesda resulted in Masthead no longer having any rights to the franchise either, leaving Bethesda in full control of all future Fallout games, and aborting any Fallout MMO that was in the works."
The dedicated agents of the U.S. Department of Electronic Entertainment have compiled an exhaustive report on all video game sales for the weekend of December the 16th.
"There’s something about certain games that naturally draw me in. This is considerably easier with any sort of RPG that involves decisions and progression that allow you to influence not only your character, but the actual game itself. I’ve spent so much time with these games because I’m able to make the character my own, affect the environment, and play the game almost exactly how I want to play it."
You don't survive the post-nuclear wasteland without learning a little bit about yourself and the way of the world. Joystick Division runs down five of the most important lessons learned from the original Fallout PC game.
"To play through just one of the several possible storylines can take up to 50 hours, so it's little wonder that players often go looking for a little help when they come to the crossroads.
That's where The Vault comes in. It's an enormous repository of knowledge about the Fallout universe maintained by a community of fans in a similar way to Wikipedia.
Inside The Vault are 11,532 pages of information about every quest, character and location in the Fallout series, generated by more than..."
"Last night’s broadcast of GameTrailers TV is now online – watch above to learn more about Fallout: New Vegas from the game’s Project Director, Josh Sawyer. Use the slider above to search for the segment (it follows info on the latest God of War game), or watch it in HD at GameTrailers.com (just skip ahead to Chapter 3)."
"In an SEC filing by Interplay posted today the company has revealed they do not plan on dropping their counter-suit against Bethesda over the Fallout franchise. Early today it was revealed Bethesda had dropped their appeal for an injunction that would effectively halt development of the Fallout MMO and Interplay's ability to sell past Fallout titles."
"We contacted the Fallout publisher to find out its reaction, and were told, "Well he is a big part of our Fallout brand and is copyrighted, so, yeah, deciding on your own to use him to promote your business or product, or to sell stuff, or whatever, without getting permission from us ... not a good idea." Ruh oh!"
"Dragon Age: Origins is the biggest singleplayer role-playing game release of the season. It's also the only big-budget singleplayer RPG coming out this season. The RPG is one of the oldest genres in gaming, but big releases are becoming rarer each year.
We examine the state of the big-budget single-player RPG with a group of RPG developers. Each comes from a different facet of the market. Is it dying? Are the tastes of RPG gamers changing? What role do MMOs, consoles, and handhelds play? I..."
"Why would Zenimax and Bethesda buy the exclusive Fallout rights? Quite simply, ownership leverage. Acquiring the licensing rights allows Zenimax to set ludicrous conditions for Interplay and purposely led them to believe they would still be working on the MMO."
Keeping on with digital distribution service Good Old Games' Fallout week, we present to you a Fallout 2 retrospective interview.
In this one, we hear from the game's designers, as well as those who weren't involved after the first time and how they compare the two games. It's a great story which goes into a lot of the factors working against the team at the time -- a must-read for any Fallout fan.
Interesting to note is the Fallout MMO that seemed to be canned by Bethesda (who would ov...
Digital distribution service Good Old Games is celebrating its "Fallout week" now, starting off with deals on the Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics games, and this, a retrospective look on the one that started it all.
Have a read and see how the now-deceased Black Isle Studios developed this masterpiece, but don't cry! Some of the team that made the originals moved on to Obsidian, who have just been revealed to be working on a brand new Fallout game.
"inXile entertainment today announced that Jason Anderson, one of the original Fallout design team members, has joined the company as creative director for a new, unannounced Role-Playing Game (RPG) from inXile. Anderson recently left Interplay, where in his second tenure there served as creative director working on the Next-Generation MMO Project: V13."

"That leaves the unwashed masses, gamers who never delighted in the fruits of Interplay's Fallout and Fallout 2. Sure, they'll enjoy killing mutants and barking orders at the in-game dog, but will they really pick up on the underlying narrative, one built on several hundred years of fictional history? We honestly cannot say, but our nights are spent gripped in cold terror for the lot of you. Not really, but it sounds much more dramatic that way. In any event, every Fallout survivor knows that ..."
"Oblivion developers Bethesda has purchased the rights to the Fallout series from Interplay for a reported USD 5.75 million.
Previously, Interplay had given Bethesda the rights to develop titles in the Fallout series, along with the possibility of creating a Fallout MMO. Development of a third title in the series is currently underway.
With the new deal now in place, Bethesda now has full ownership of the Fallout IP and will be licensing rights of the new MMO to Interplay.
The licence..."
