Chances for a Fallout handoff?

Since Bethesda decided to make Fallout 3, we figured we might as well have a forum about it.

What are the chances of Bethesda selling Fallout to Troika or Obsidian?

Well, judging from Fallout 2, Arcanum, Greyhawk and Vampire, it's probably a good thing Tim Cain & buddies didn't get the Fallout license.

I guess this forum remains dead, until Bethesda releases some info about F3. They're doing wisely keeping a low profile.

It's never too early for baseless speculations.

Everything in russia is from early 80's/90's. Aeroflot has alot of fun, outfitting their planes with old space-shuttle seats, as well.

I think Bethesda really does value the Fallout license. From Bethsoft's perspective, the possibility of such a well-known and respected franchise becoming something of a flagship for them must be appealing. Anyway, why would they acquire rights to the francise if they weren't gonna make the damn game?

Don't be so gullible. They also bought the action game rights for the well-respected Pirate of the Caribbean franchise. If Fallout franchise is so valuable, how come the latest two edtitions were total crap? Maybe they'll try broaden the fanbase this time; we all know what that sentence means. It's the dollars that count, not happy fans.

FALLOUT 3 WILL BE RELEASED IN THREE YEARS!!!! PULL YOUR HAIR OUT 2 5/6 YEARS FROM NOW WHEN THEY START TO REVEAL WHAT THEY'VE MADE!!!! THEN 1/6 YEAR LATER EITHER PULL OUT THE REST OR FOOLISHLY PLACE THE PILE YOU'VE MADE BACK ONTO YOUR SCALP!!!!! CHRISTING FUCK!!!!!!

I have to agree with Franz and don't see that as gullibility. From what all i've read they've said that they have been talking internally about it for years. This tells me they have a genuine interest in doing it right. That could just be a flat out lie but even if it was it would be a flat out lie for the sole purpose of appeasing us, the Fallout fanbase. So even if they are throwing shit in our face they are doing it with the kindest of intentions. Although I don't see any reason for them to lie.

Maybe i'm gullible.
