[ -> N/A]

Look at what you've done! Go on, take a look!<blockquote>Just spotted a new poll over at www.interplay.com, asking wich of the four

games Descent, Descent3, Freespace and Freespace2 was the best.

They left out fallout this time, for some reason.

- Matias</blockquote>Things aren't looking good.<blockquote>theres a new Poll up at interplay...

but it only includes descent questions!!!

did descent win the poll?

does this mean they have scrapped fallout and are going for descent?

arg! *panics and dies*

- Do0Fu5</blockquote>I've done some investigating, and yes, it's true. The previous poll on the <a href="http://www.interplay.com" target="_blank">Interplay.com website</a> has confirmed what their marketing people have actually suspected for a long time now (the research project began nearly 2 years and 8 months ago)... people just aren't interested in Fallout anymore - Descent games are the way to go!

It's bad news for us. Sorry chaps, you dropped the ball on that last poll! We warned you... twice, in fact! Oh well, looks like Fallout 3 will never happen now...

I don't think The interest was lost... Just the hope of it every becoming a reality...

I never know polls were so important in the first place! :(

*regret*

I didn't like Descent and Descent 2... But Descent 3 was tops. I loved that game. So, if Interplay makes a Descent 4, it wouldn't bother me.

Care factor = 0

Freespace beats Descent all the way though.

I think its time to BOMB Interplay's site!

So, um, somebody do it.

How the hell did descent win anyway? You lazy good for nothing puds.

Hrmm... the last time I checked, Fallout was winning with a 91% popular vote. I opt for a recount! Someone go get me my broom...

How the fuck can Freespace 2 not be winnin this poll?

Crappy mazy tunnel spiny aroundy game vs. epic space combat.

2 days ago Decent was winning, but less than it was before, it was down from 60% to 51% with Fallout at 45%. But Decent had the advantage, they had a newer game!

It's a funny way of marketing analysis.

Just let a certain franchise "sleep" for a couple of years, then ask if anyone but the core fanbase is interested in it, then compare it to a MULTIPLAYER Game which actually still has some tournaments going on around the world and even my aunt's duck can tell you what will be the "results" of this analysis.

Though i really think there was something wrong with the last poll.

I tried to vote for Fallout several times(changing ips, no cookies accepted, the usual stuff) in the last poll, just wanted to find out how many people are usually participating in that poll, i needed to vote more then 15 times (20 would be a more realistic guess, actually) for fallout to get it a single percent up.

Never knew that there were so many people interested in that poll.

Personally, I'm wondering how many people here are going to consider killing themselves over this news...

Which is more then I can say about Fallout.

I mean, I rather not see Fallout then see it ruined once again.

shit

When I voted last week/beginning of this week, Fo was behind by 1%

Well, at least it's not another shitty Baulders Gate.

Bah, I just hope than when Interplay croaks (it's only a matter of time), that the FO license becomes up for grabs. That way, we can at least get the chance for some company of actual worth to pick it up and finally make something of it!
