I'm no NMA zealot. I like the way fallout 3 looks, I am very excited for it.
But I am not optimistic at all for this. Think about how many MMO's have been botched? Warcraft is a notable exception but if there was a moore's law for MMO failure Blizzard would be exempt.
I have no faith in interplay. If a better company was making it, maybe.
I wanna cast my lot with the "How the fuck will that work?" crowd.
I save all doouubt until we see scrinies and concepts. Whoas, cold pill affecting hands, night night.
Stay away from NMA, lets not start thread wars, we would become bogged down in an unwinable war.
Edit: Berry hard to make good Moo, need good idea and committed fan base. Also need lots of principal to support development and tweaking and servers, that why WOW get so big so fast, Blizzard has mad IP money to toss at problems to make them go away. Interplay, not so much, now if they partner with Arenanet or whoever does EQ, maybe they have chance, but as is, odds against them, like midwest corn fed fatass at poker table, tooo many bad hands and he blowing Chinamen like me for cab fare home. *joking*
And don't bother with "It won't be good". It most probably won't be good. But it may.
It won't be good. It being good would require a miracle on the level of a good Phoenix game.
Yes it may and nah, it wouldn't.
Also, that depends what we mean by good. Popularity, or individual tastes?
Cause the second one is personal.
I know a lot of people will disagree, but in my opinion, if WoW can have the success it has, ANYTHING can happen. (Now, this is the Internet, so you can't hear it, but I spit when I say WoW)
Well look on the bright side theres no real way Interplay can get funding for this when they don't really have any positive revenue to speak of. And no a one time cash in from selling the fallout license does not an income make.

Not gonna happen.
Unless they sell their remaining licenses to retards like Derek Smart. Which they would totally do

Even cashing all the rest (what little there is) in theres no way that would sustain them enough to make an MMO and get rid of their debts. It takes gobs and gobs of money to make an MMO and Interplay just doesn't make enough profit to make and release an MMO.

It will fail by both definitions of "good". Hating Uwe Boll's movies might be based on my personal taste, but that doesn't mean I'm not right to think his movies suck donkey balls.

Yes it does, even though I too find his movies to suck.

Alot of mixed emotions about the Fallout MMO.
People either think it's going to be ultra awesome and worthy with a fantastic developer backing it up, or a complete waste of shelf space and an Interplay revival shot-in-the-dark.

You realize that media is not a 100% subjective thing and that games and movies can be objectively flawed? And just the same, have objective virtues?

Who knows.
Oh, I really don't think it's going to be awesome. I doubt it's even going to be made. I just hope it will be made and will be great, no matter what BS the naysayers will throw at me.
The last thing I want to do is play a game where people from NMA can talk to me.
Yeah, those idiots liked Anarchy Online when it was 8x as shitty as it is now, and they think that "the spirit of Fallout" is essentially killing children and robbing people.

You're saying its wrong to think Uwe Boll's movies suck?
No really, aside from touching himself with rats, what does Interplay's CEO even do? What has he done for the past ~5 years while his company folded and died and not made any games?
Get himself wanted with a decent sized bounty in america for ditching court for avoiding paying BlackIsle so he could sell all of his shit and keep the kids solely to fuck with his wife(who has had fifteen nervous breakdowns)
That and be a suspect in a money laundering investigation.
there's no way this is going to be anything but Interplay trying to make a quick buck by riding Bethesda's FO3 coattails. And it's not that I'm pessimistic about Interplay's ability to make a good game as much as I'm pessimistic about playing Fallout with other people.
I dreamed about a Fallout MMO for a long time. Since then I've played many MMO's, and every single one of them has ended up being so tedious that the life of the world is sucked right out. When I play Fallout games, I get immersed in another world, and I'm not interested in sharing that world with some greasy powergaming shut-ins.

Amen. I only play MMOs because single player RPGs are so rare these days. The other people who play MMOs are the worst part of the game, and the constant jargon and leetspeak completely destroys the atmopshere.
Fallout MMO is use of a great RPG license to make a quick buck.
I'm sure you all have played MMOs before. Consider public chat long and hard. Do you really want that crap polluting a universe known for its witty dialogue and writing?
There are way better mediums to sell the license out on. I'd take a Fallout FPS before an MMO.

Hopefully you can turn that shit off. You know we all talk shit but you also know we will try it at least once and some of us will even subscribe to give it a chance. Some of the people on the titanic tried to pitch the water out for a little while before they gave up.

I'm skeptical too, I just want to see how this turns out.
All I know is there are 90 dudes working on it and it's due late next year. That was an up-in-the-air date I read in a small panel in a PC mag. So grain of salt yarda yarda.

I just don't care who. I believe in any and every company to make it a decent MMO (a decent MMO being a subpar game).
I never thought I'd see the day

That's all? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
I was threatened with death three times in Everquest before I even graduated Jr. High. WoW style instanced dungeoning must have turned you kids soft.
Resident 8bitdo expert.
Resident hybrid/flap cover expert.
Is true though, DAC, NMA and the other holdouts from way back when have all become insular hateful places whom you could probably never ever please.
The old Fallout active fanbase is horrid.
Still highly skeptical though :P
