[ Game -> Update ] - More info on <a href="#Fallout 3">Game: Fallout 3</a>

Killzig has pointed out in <a target="_self" href="http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/viewt ... 250">DAC's forums</a> that the ever vigilant newsies at Joystiq have <a target="_self" href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/05/29/surpr ... r/">posted a big exclusive</a>. It turns out that the Teaser Countdown on the <a target="_self" href="http://fallout.bethsoft.com/">official Fallout site</a> is really......A Countdown To A Teaser! Straight from the source:
<blockquote>
Remember all the joy you had speculating over Blizzard's countdown to Starcraft II? Were you heartbroken when Nintendo Power revealed what the Smash Bros. site would change before their clock went to zero?

Bethesda VP of Public Relations and Marketing Pete Hines dropped a spoiler in our mailbox this morning: a Fallout 3teaser
trailer will be released next week, coinciding with the end of the
countdown. Given the capitalized text that says TEASER next to do the
countdown, we think it's safe to assume that this is the focal point of
next week's revelations.

</blockquote>
Safe to assume, indeed.
On a more serious note, it looks like we actually might get to see some real stuff in the trailer. Ashley Cheng dropped the following <a target="_self" href="http://www.ashleycheng.com/2007/05/only ... t.html">on his blog</a>:
<blockquote>Crazy how fast time flies. Only one week left until the Fallout 3
teaser. I'm really excited about being able to show folks what we've
been working on for the past few years. We've been running with the
stealth drives on long enough, I think :)</blockquote>
 
If my guess is right, she'll have to de-cloak before she can fire.

Haha, those guys over at Joystiq are hilarious. I mean, that is a joke, right?

Right?

As far as I can tell it's not.

Hell. If this is a joke, it's bad, if it isn't... well, you can figure out the rest.

It`s also funny, how every stupid game magazine needs to explain what Fallout 1/2 was/is to those next gen kiddies readers, who have never heard of it.

no surprise there, no one else reads gaming mags apart from (pre-)pubescent teens

Does anyone know if Bethesda has the rights to the entire FO series for, say, the sake of re-releases? Or did Interplay retain those rights?

Post by **King of Creation** » Wed May 30, 2007 6:34 pm

Bethesda owns Fallout...totally. They can do whatever they want with it, except make an MMO until Interplay screws that up.

edit: whoops

TelemachusSneezed · Post by **TelemachusSneezed** » Wed May 30, 2007 6:36 pm

Got it.

Post by **King of Creation** » Wed May 30, 2007 6:54 pm

Wait...I wrote Interplay when I meant Bethesda. Bethesda owns Fallout, totally.

Ausir · Post by **Ausir** » Wed May 30, 2007 6:59 pm

Interplay has licensed the rights for re-releases of FO1, FO2, FOT and FOBOS from Bethesda, though.
