Possible Fallout MMO

S

Strubes

Like a deadbeat dad promising to buy you a new bicycle "as soon as he gets the scratch together," Interplay is still talking about making an MMO based on the Fallout universe. They made mention of the idea last December, but, according to a new earnings statement, are perhaps a bit closer to beginning to realize it now that their debt load has been reduced from $59 million in December 2001 to less than $3 million.

Whatever they're planning, they may want to get hoppin'. Their agreement with Bethesda states that not only must Interplay pay a 12% royalty on net sales of the MMO, but it must be in development before April of 2009, must have a minimum of 10,000 subscribers and must comply with "the quality standards of Bethesda." By the way, this week's understatement champion is Interplay Chairman Herve Caen who said, "Fallout Online will play a key role in the future of Interplay." Yeah, Herve. No kidding.

Yeah, I don't play MMORPG's as well. Especially if you have to pay monthly....

I just thought I'd post this up in case some people were interested though. :)
 
I don't know. I got the quote from Joystiq.com....the actual article is on 1up.com. On Joystiq it was in the 360 section, so I thought I'd follow suit. :)

You can move it though if you see fit. I don't see a problem with that.
 
Wow, so Interplay's rising from the ashes...it doesn't matter though cause they're worthless without Black Isle. I'm not sure how worthwhile this one's gonna be though...hmmm...maybe let Obsidian develop it so at least part of the original team is on it?

EDIT: Oh yeah, that dam Bethesda agreement. *sigh* So much for that plan...
