well it really depends on how much free reign and control they give to TenNapel. I won't rush out and buy any products these days, simply because of how the market is and such, regardless of dev/pub.

Interplay, for all the money grubbing bullshit that Haeve is, has some really fun/original IP's. The trick is for them to actually use those IP's to make interesting fun games, and not turn back into being shit. Only time will tell though really.

I think a lot of the "old crew" they are hiring back were pretty much unemployed and would take anything so I wouldn't start getting your hopes up that they are actually going to do it right. Remember when that developer right after Van Bauren was canceled that hired one of the developers who left just for like PR purposes. The guy said he didn't really do anything since he lived like across the world too.

Granted, these guys have talent but interplay needs resources to make use of them which I haven't seen them acquire yet.
