Fallout MMO
I just heard the exciting news and thinking it was fake, checked interplays website and boy was I surprised. When I found out that the MMO is actually going to take place and interplay(Original Company) is developing the Fallout MMO, I don't know if any of you guys like fallout, but I thought I would let you all know and post the link a few concept art pics are up.

Interplay doesn't mean anything in terms of the "original company" anymore, since the main creative force of the original two games founded Obsidian, which is working on New Vegas. Still, I'm interested in any non-Bethesda Fallout project at this point.
To be honest, from what I can tell the whole thing is a big legal mess with Bethesda & Interplay suing and countersuing each other but I am happy that work is in progress on Fallout Online and it may be something I might pick up - that's only may because I'm not a big fan of MMORPGs.
That's very true, Obsidian is developing New Vegas, wich means it should be better than Fallout 3, not that I had any Qualms with three.
I'm just hoping the MMO, won't be like War Craft and totaly re-write the mythos.
What mythos? You mean the shreds of canon left strewn about to be carried off by the wind in the wake of Fallout 3?
Just what would those shreds of cannon be? I'm just curious.
Well it still can't be as bad as brother hood of steel, wich I should never mention again, under the fear of prosecution and death in some countries.
We get it... you hate Fallout 3... All you have been doing is bitching since it came out.
Who really gives a shit if they messed up the canon of the series besides foaming at the mouth fans of the original games? I sure haven't met anyone... in fact most people I know praise how strong its story really is.
News flash: Its a fucking videogame, not the gospel words of God... It is an entertainment experience & isn't so important that a few inaccuracies are going to shape the way mankind sees/lives life, so why worry about it so much?

@Dashing: If what you mean by "ages" was that the URL was leaked sometime in April, then yes. However, it was only claimed official by Interplay's website June 2nd.
And If you didn't happen to find it in April when I did, then who's barking NOW?
EDIT:
I don't really want to end up like the other people who say this, but:
+1.
Wait, so who cares if they messed up the canon...other than the people who are upset about the canon. Of course nobody. Who cares about the holocaust except foaming-at-the-mouth Jews and Jew sympathizers?
As unimportant as they are, video games are more important than what somebody's imaginary friend has to say.
Very apt that the word "video game" wasn't used here, because it sure as hell wasn't that.
No, but we're talking about video games. Hell, we're talking about Fallout right here in this thread. So it's totally okay, we're ALREADY TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT DON'T MATTER. What you're doing, right here, is being bitchy about something that matters even LESS, my opinion of a video game. Why is that? Are you maybe afraid that you're not having as much fun as you think you are? Are you afraid that one guy that disagrees with you is going to be a problem in the long-term? You can disagree with me, I really don't care if you do. I'll argue the point, because that's fun and that's what I do in my leisure time(rather than when I'm doing something important, like coursework, a job, or supporting family and loved ones). But at the end of the day, I'm not going to get seriously bent out of shape. I'll just think a video game sucks, and your opinion of said video game sucks. If you get bent out of shape, that's your prerogative. More importantly, that's your problem.
It is one thing to state that you hate a video game & it is a completely different thing to beat it into the ground. Like for example, I hate Sonic '06 with a burning passion... I have stated this on a few threads. Do I whine about the storyline, gameplay, voice actors & whatnot for more than 2 posts? No. Why is that, because all it does is bore people, take up space that could be used for better purposes & annoy people who may actually like the game.
P.S. your point about the holocaust is not only idiotic & uncalled for (& you can't begin to possibly understand how hard I want to go off on you for making such a heartless comment... especially considering my wife is jewish), but is a completely different matter altogether. One is a tragedy that caused many people to unjustly loose there lives & the other is an entertainment experience that doesn't even matter outside of the intense computer nerd community.
P.P.S. I hope you feel proud of yourself for comparing your nerdy past times to a massacre
So...does any of this have to do with the fallout MMO, I'm just wondering? Cause I would prefer this thread doesn't get locked, and so on and so forth.
Look at his group of posts & tell me that have to do with the Fallout MMO.... He has 3 posts bashing Fallout 3 on here before I even responded. The point being why bitch so hardcore about it. All that does is annoy people who are fans of the game (& there are many of them out there).
But about the storyline: I don't know the story well, especially not of the original games, but saying that the storyline doesn't matter and can totally ignore the original games is just not right. It's like saying that if Hollywood made Lord of the Rings IV: Revenge of Sauron featuring intergalactic space battle and laser cannons, no one should care because the movie could still be good.
Brilliant post Dashing. You've proven that you bitch about Fallout 3 nonetheless and that you take video games over your imaginary friend.
(aka you aren't very good at arguing)
Yes, one matters and one does not. But the logic is the same, and using an analogy for something that certainly matters was supposed to make the point clear. Something universally reviled can be reduced to a completely idiotic "Who care about it but people who care about it" statement. You are, apparently, incapable of any sort of critical thinking skill whatsoever.
Don't worry. Mentioning the Holocaust will not bring back the ghost of Heimlich Himmler or his ilk. Your wife is just as safe as she's ever been.
So here, let's strip it of all controversy for a second.
"Who cares about [blank], other than foaming-at-the-mouth [people who care about blank]?" Don't you see how stupidly ridiculous this is?
And we shouldn't even be having this argument. It has nothing to do with Fallout. At all. You're a destructive force in this conversation. I refuse to reply to any more posts of yours until you're willing to be civil and actually discuss the unimportant matter at hand like an adult, rather than like a bitchy child.
That's not what I'm saying either.... what I'm saying is that the story makes context within the scope of not only the game, but the series. Just because it is called Fallout 3 doesn't automatically mean it is restricted to some preconceived storyline. Does Final Fantasy VII take what was established in the previous 6 games as canon & continue that storyline? No, so why should we automatically expect sequels in any other series to? If they do, then thats great, but bitching because they don't is pointless.
*edit*
A big f*** you goes out to isonlydashinginhisdreams- signed Misty Titus
...ok then...
I really liked Fallout shelters. I did. Except now that we are having less atomic bomb tests or launches, I just can't have that same experience anymore!
Also, sonic sucks.
Things like that hurt other projects set in the universe, like Fallout Online and New Vegas, because they have to work in a broken and fragmented framework. "Wait, do we go with what we said, with what they said, or some third thing?"
First off, the first segment of this quote is actually making fun of Jews more and is more unecessary.
And YOU'RE saying we shouldn't be having this argument?
As you can see above, my wife didn't take to kindly to it..... sadly she isn't the most creative when it comes to insults
So, instead of realizing that you brought up the Holocaust in the first place (as well as being the first one to go off topic) you're just NOW saying that we shouldn't be having this conversation?
And if you just quote this and reply "Yes" and act like you've never gone off topic in any of your 4,500+ posts (which I think is the most posts for anyone on this forum) and saying other people waste their time, then fuck you.
This is what I'm not liking about the forums at the moment - threads are far too often descending into non-related rants which are basically about someone's opinion not being the same someone elses.
Oh and the story in Fallout 3 is perfectly acceptable as is 1 & 2.
Thats the same newsletter, I got...so I'm hoping that more news letters will come, if it indeed has started.
So, instead of replying to either me or Robert, apologizing to his wife (or any Jewish people for that matter), you just pussy out and post pictures of the letter that everyone who has posted in this thread has already seen?
He sent me a private message calling me a bitch... he gots his in a reply... don't worry
Oh joy! Can you PM me his "arguement"?
And to all who don't like this off topic stuff: I'm sorry, it's just that sometimes justice cannot go unseen. Dashing was first to insult Jewish people, so he had to get what he deserved.
I, for one, have never actually played a Fallout game before, but my brother does own all of them to date, and will also be getting New Vegas. I was the first to find out about Fallout Online, though, since I was looking at Destructoid.
Okay, you know what. If you guys want to argue about this or start doing it on PM's.
Bone, you should definitaley play them, they are worth it.
I'm pretty sure I'm done arguing.
Which game should I start with?
Fallout and then Fallout 2, they have them on www.gog.com and they come with Downloadable extras.
I didn't think that the story in Fallout 3 was terrible, though I did hate the way the promises of multiple endings basically turned into two endings. And they could have done with a few more levels of karma instead of 'good/bad'. Yeah, there was neutral, but IIRC it didn't change the ending any. And I missed the Fallout 1&2-style 'here's what happened to all the places you visited' endings. I don't remember the Great War getting blamed on aliens, but that's probably because I spent most of Mothership Zeta running around going 'I'VE GOT A KATANA, WHEEEEEEE!' instead of paying attention. I would prefer to not think of that addon as canon just because it's so weird, but on the other hand it does explain where the alien blasters in the first two games came from. I still like the first two games better, but that's because I prefer the isometric view to first/third person. And turn-based combat as well.
For anyone who hasn't played them, Fallout 1&2 are definitely worth getting, and so is Tactics. They're available on Steam as as single package called the 'Fallout Collection'.
