Is anyone from Black Isle, Troika or Obsidian going to working on this?
But none of those companies had anything to do with Wasteland? 3 of the original 4 core Wasteland developers are working on it (Fargo, Stackpole and Pavlish) and they're working with design ideas from Troika co-founder Jason D. Anderson who used to work at InXile. |

While Double Fine is talking about how awesome they've been doing, all we hear out of Brian Fargo is how cool it would be if he WOULD do it.
What, you think he can just magic it up? You can't just put up a Kickstarter page saying "Wouldn't another Wasteland be cool? Gimme money". He has to have a solid plan in place, with a team in place, a good outline of the plan, what platforms it might be on, even what engine they could use. Determine that first, then put up a Kickstarter place.
I know this is the age of instant gratification but saying this is taking too long is really way out there. |

They also had ZERO rights to sell the old games. Bethesda owns the IP. So, this shareholder that is saying there is an "AMAZING LEGAL SWITCHAROO." is smoking crack. - or really got snowed by whomever is left at Interplay.
Incorrect. The contract with Bethesda stipulated Interplay had full rights to sell the Fallout titles it produced (1, 2, Tactics and BoS). It was a part of the licensing deal just like the Fallout MMO thing was.
Bethesda argues Interplay breached contract by not vetting PR/marketing with Bethesda before putting the game on digital download services (Steam, GameTap, GoG). Interplay argues there was no vetting needed for said sales and Bethesda's interference there is in breach of contract, which might technically be true because they never advertised their Fallout games in any way. The resale companies did, but that's not relevant. The only shady thing is the "Fallout Trilogy", but I'm fairly sure that's a term Interplay used even before the release of Fallout 3, which would void Bethesda's claims of ill intent (though Bethesda could still force Interplay to drop the use of said name in good faith).
Hard to say who's right there, but easy to say the court'll rule in favour of Bethesda, 'coz y'know...better lawyers.
the original crew that made fallout 1&2 are not at interplay anymore. so i don't think interplay should be allowed to screw up the franchise any longer.
Chris Taylor, lead designer of Fallout 1, works for Interplay. Jason Anderson, lead tech artist and one of the six original core designers, also worked on V13 before leaving for InXile (to work on Wasteland 2).
The "article" isn't really worth anything IMHO, read it carefully and it makes no sense.
It's not an article, it's an investor summing up court documents on an online investor forum. If I had access to the court documents I'd be happy to draw up a less overly biased summation, but even with his fervent pro-Interplay tone, it's not that hard to distil the facts of the actual court filing from what he says;
- Interplay asked for and got a 10-day extension on the preliminary injunction.
- Interplay argues it is not in breach of contract, but that Bethesda's interference in their digital download licensing deal constitutes unreasonable interference/withholding of permission as per their contract.
- Interplay states it is in fulfilment of contract regarding the Fallout MMO.
- Interplay is countersuing Bethesda over damages caused by Bethesda terminating the Interplay-Glutton Creeper Fallout PnP contract, as well as over damages caused to Interplay's reputation and finances by Bethesda sending letters to GameTap and other companies claiming Interplay had no right to sell Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics via these services.
- Interplay is arguing Bethesda is interfering to such an extent that it is in breach of contract, and the license sale is now null and void, therefore bringing the former contract (the sub-licensing deal for Fallout 3 with options on 4 and 5 only) back into effect.

I'll be shocked beyond sense if the future collection of reviews made by or posted at NMA tends to agree with the rest of the world
What do you base this one? NMA has so far posted every single preview we've seen, from the negative to the estatic, and has posted on every review we have tidbits for, including the highly positive PC Jeux - which was the very first review we posted on. We even posted about OXM's 10/10 even though I have yet to see this score with my own eyes - highly irregular since it's basically a rumour, but we figured people would want to know about this 10/10. Right above the French review is the Polish Click! review which is pretty positive.
Seriously, do you even read NMA's frontpage regularly? You don't have to like us, hate the community all you want - can't say it's really bothered us much. But what you're saying about our frontpage newsposts is factually incorrect.
some no-name review,
CanardPC is one of the biggest gaming magazines in France.

The last place I'd look for a balanced review of Fallout 3 is NMA.
But this isn't an NMA review. It's a review from CanardPC (not the biggest magazine in France and, from what I understood, one that likes to be a bit controversial) that we just happened to translate.
We didn't make it up, y'know. We've already posted 4 translated reviews now, 1 positive, 2 middling and this overly negative one. Not our fault that Europeans think that way.
