War over Fallout - Interplay wins the first round

The court dismissed Bethesda's motion for preliminary injunction in the case over the rights to the Fallout franchise.

[Sarevok]

Thats great and all but huh...
Interplay can you please make Baldur's Gate DA 3 now?

[Cajun Chicken]

MDK 3 or reboot of series would be welcome too!

[Baka-akaB]

why the f***k would you even want a Baldur's gate without obsidian or bioware ?

One could even argue DA is baldur's gate 3

[Gothdom]

I'd want a new Lost Vikings or Blackthorne, but I don't know if Blizzard or Interplay owns them

[Perkel]

:One could even argue DA is baldur's gate 3 :

in dreams.. it's ligt years from eachother.

You can't simply do game of this scale in those days.. in 3d.

Fallout tried and failed, same with nwn...

[wxer]

sorry but
didn't Bethesda bought ( paid money ) to get the copy right's ??

am i missing something in here ??

[Sarevok]

True...I miss black isle.
Planescape,Icewind dale 1&2,Baldur's gate,fallout 1&2.

They did great things in the late 90s.

[Baka-akaB]

@Perkel

uh ? games of bigger scopes have been done already in 3d .
And DA3 is easily of the same scale .

Is the story as great and epic and the characters as interesting ? i dont think so but it ends there .

So far the only real difference between DA and BG would be obviously the different story and setting and the obvious lack of official D&D rules .

Da is basically their own BG with their own license and a simplified gameplay to an extent , for consoles .

As for Neverwinter nights , it never even tried . it was basically a multiplayer engine glued to an incredible underwhelming sp campaign .

And we all knows that even if way better than oblivion , Fo3 is quite close to a reskin of oblivion . So no they didnt try neither , they made a totally different with the license fallout they bought

What's the next bs , telling me that the Witcher would have been bigger and better in 2d ?

[elchamber]

Judge must've bought Bethesda's Fallout 3 DLC or Game of the Year edition and realized they were glitch as well and it would be a crime to let Bethesda make an MMO Fallout that would be glitchy as well.

[Jamescagney]

They should let you make the games. You'd make them perfectly aye?

[Baka-akaB]

sorry but he's right in some way ...
I dont see how you defend that fiercely such a blatant history of bugged games .

That's what they were famous for , before their big morrowind and oblivion break .

Now thanks the gods , their games are very glitchy but playable .

[Jamescagney]

Yes but look at the games they are making and the scope of problems they face when they make them. Perhaps they should just make linear games that have less than half the problems they have to deal with.

I've played Oblivion and FO3 a lot and have hardly run into any bugs worth mentioning. I must just be lucky.

[Baka-akaB]

There is no way to deny it , when as an example there are even articles ( and by that i just dont mean bloggers) about Fallout 3 dlcs being bugged at launch , each fricking time for numerous people ...

And i disagree here , there are still a few other devs doing games of such scales without as many issues and bugs . Hell mmos launches with basically the same issues or even less and they got a lot more stuff on their plate to handle . They dont even seems to do basic QC and testing .

It would be one thing to have some odds obscure sidequest or item bugged as usual with everyone , and indeed be forgivable given the game's size ...

However when even your dlc are each time broken at release ? I say they get quite some free passes many other devs gets for rather silly bugs and errors .

[Redempteur]

This is funny .. the second dlc wouldn't even start Because the call leading to it didn't show up ..

IF this simple thing wasn't tested .. how the hell does some people try to defend the buggy game ..??

Still wondering why ...

[Bob Dole]

Scorpion wins!

[Ninji]

Bethesda should never touch Fallout (especially after they put out that garbage Fallout 3).

[Sarevok]

I know right? In fallout 1 and 2 I died I a lot! Fallout 1&2 were hard and fun.

Fallout 3 was a cake walk even on the very hard settings I had 457 stempacks by the time I got to the end of the game.(oh and endless ammo)

[Why Dat]

Yea, sure I'm living in the past, but I FULLY support Interplay.

I will never tire of Fallout 1 and 2. I still think they totally own Fallout 3 any day.

I can't be the only one that loves Interplay and the originals.

[TABSF]

I Hope Interplay wins, I want Elders Scrolls 5.

Any original Fallout will tell you Fallout 3 suxed,

Bethesda just re-skinned Oblivion, put guns in it and got new voice actors
The gamers of today only want FPS so of course the game sold well.

Oblivion > Fallout 3

[GameOn]

I got Fallout 3 goty edition and its the first Fallout I've played. It really is Oblivion with guns but at the same time no where near as good as Oblivion.

Fallout 3 was over-hyped, it's still good though.

[Eiffel]

Fallout 3 was amazingly addicting. I couldn't stand Oblivion.

I clocked 200+ hours into Fallout 3. I maxed out everything.

Fallout 3 was down right fun. What about it made it suck? Explain.

[bdog8121]

i have to agree with you TABSF but also disagree. fallout 3 was a let down from the originals, how they switched special up and the storyline was meh but for what it was it could have been alot worse.

[Saaking]

I agree with Eiffel. I didn't like Oblivion at all, but I really enjoyed Fallout 3.

[TABSF]

@ Eiffel

I found the game empty, like it has nothing to do with fallout.

Before I got Oblivion I watched a friend play it, and with in seconds I knew I needed it, After watching my bro on Fallout 3 for about 2 hours, it just felt flat and the vault Pissed me off, I got to megaton and just gave up.

I always Watch or play the game before buying, games are getting sh!t compared to the golden age, back in the NES - N64 days it was rare to get a really disappointing.

[Eiffel]

So you gave up around to the point of entering megaton? That's like an hour into the game :/. I suggest you at least beat the game before you overall judge it.

A lot of people complain about the beginning(As did I) But the game really gets interesting soon after.
