In any case, fuck you Interplay for not only never making a Fallout 3 but for never making a Giants 2. I hope everyone who owns a share of stock in that goddamn company ends up blowing yuppies for quarters.

There's a Giants 2 - it's called Armed and Dangerous and it totally rocks. Same creators, but better publisher - LUCASARTS

I think a bit of light-hearted music is in order. Some by Mozart might do the trick.

A-one, a-two, a-one-two-three-four:

FUCK.
now, the only good thing that probably might happen is that Iplay is in such a bad financial condition that they could (maybe) be willing to sell the rights for Fallout 3 to some other company (e.g. Troika or Obsidian)

Laying off people just before christmass. There are no words. The management must pay the boatman and die.

All we can hope for Fallout is that Troika or some other legit RPG maker will pick up the license after IPLY realizes the suck.

There is no more reason for me to care about Inertplay anymore. They have died and gone to hell. :x

This saddens me so much. I first played Fallout 2 two years ago, and fell in love. It's taught me so much, made me want to learn new things. Now that Van Buren has been cancelled, it's kinda like losing a best friend. I feel really bummed. How can we change this? What if we pooled our money, and bought the rights? Not likely. Please IPLY. I feel I speak for all of us when I say that if we have just one more trip into the Wastes, then we can feel..........complete? Just one more.

Oy, that hurts. I hope Iply dies quickly now so I can forget it.

Just take a look at their shop, what kind of company has a top5 sellers list of only 10$ games?

PS.: Megatron your cowboy scared the shit out of me when he winked.

So what direction should this site go now? It seems as if being a Fallout fan site is out of the question....

Even though Fallout 3 is dead (for the third or fourth time now) it doesn't mean Fallout 1/2 are gone. We'll always have those games to love. As long as there are fans nothing should change drastically. But if you want to exist on hope, there's always the possibility of the new Wasteland game or some other post apoc thing blowing us all away. That's more realistic than a proper Fallout sequel. And it's how I always thought.

Of course it's not out of the question. Interplay is obviously dead, due to stupidity and shortsightedness unprecendented since the latest late-autumn-invasion of Russia, but Fallout and Fallout 2 remain a couple of the greatest games ever.

The fan site will live on. We're fanatics here. 8)

Yes... and DAC is (always has been?) about more than *just* Fallout. It's about the whole post-apocalypse setting and if things keep going the way they are, I guess we'll have a chance to try all this stuff on real-life scale.

Long live Fallout! DAC'll never die.

My guess is that Interplay will go down about in one year.. fobos will not sell, fobos2 will be cancelled and other projects will also be "shelved" - and after that.. the unavoidable happens. This is the result when the management ppl does bad decicions.. unlucky for them, they started that avalanche in couple years ago that they cannot stop anymore.

Well this just pisses me off.

This just pisses me right the fuck off.

This just goes against every moral fibre in my body. This just fills me up with such anger that I feel like ripping off someone's penis. This goes against my principles.

After reading this I feel like flicking off Interplay. No. This goes beyond that. I'm going to DEFY those sonsabitches.

First of all, I will throw away every single RPG of relative intelligence I ever had. Then I will buy an XBOX and DOA2 Beach Volleyball. I will then rip Diablo 2 off KaZaA and start making hacks and dupes for it.

Then I will start doing everything I can to lower my IQ. I'll sniff inhalents. Alcohol markers? Pass 'em here. Cocaine? Gimme a ten dollar bill and a line, baby. Dust? Smack? Crack? Up my nose. Weed? Pot? Skunk? Down my throat. Heroin? Speed? Special K? Down my veins. Shrooms? Beer? Steroids? Whatever I can to make myself as intelligent as IPLAY's new "aimed demographic".

I'll start jacking off to hentai six hours a day. I'll buy clothes that are not supposed to be worn by a member of my race and start talking in ways that will get me beaten up in certain parts of the world.

I'll steal a .44 caliber revolver from my parent's closet and bring it to school and shoot nine people. I'll cut myself at the wrists and listen to Marilyn Manson, Evanescence and Britney Spears.

I'll start buying clothes from Hot Topic. I'll eat a diet of nothing but quarter pounders with cheese. And then I'll sue McDonalds.

When I'm a drug-addicted, goth, crazy disgruntled teenager, teeny bopper, hentai-jacking, fat-ass in jail, with the illicit substances barely cycling through my veins because they've been so blocked up with LDL's, when I'm so fucked up and stupid and crazy that even Panty Raider looks like Civ III through my eyes... right when I'm the kind of guy that Interplay is pandering their fucking stupid console products for...

EVEN THEN I WON'T BUY THEIR FUCKING FALLOUT: PIECE OF SHIT!

Holy shit, this is pretty good news. Not only is Fallout gone, but so is Interplay.

I used to think that a Fallout 3 would be okay, as long as it was done well. Recently I've realized that there have been four Fallout games, two of them that can be considered RPG's, and I think that's god damn enough already. Too much of a good thing and all that. How about some fucking originality for a change instead of the fifty-seventh incarnation of a game? Fallout was original, a breath of fresh air into the RPG industry, if you will. Fallout 3 is not original. It's ass. It's squeezing the last bit of money that can be made off a dead franchise.

Interplay is dead, and depending on where you start keeping track of it, that's great news too. Not only will they stop making shitty games, I can laugh my ass off about the Caen brothers eating 120,000,000 dollars from buying Interplay. That's what you get for being shitty businessmen. The other benefit of Interplay dying is that the developers all went to other companies. Now we have Troika, inXile, and Obsidian. Troika, the only one who has released games as of yet, has been pumping out some pretty decent ones. Better than any Interplay fare for the past four years, at least.

This certainly is cause to celebrate.
