"I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but the "good" folks at Interplay have laid off everyone at BIS. Van Buren has been "shelved," as tha geniuses at IPLY have put it. Console only is the word of the day now. Even though Van Buren was half-way finished, the \'tards in charge have decided they want to do Exalted console and FOBOS 2. The simple fact they are making FOBOS2 even when FOBOS hasn\'t shipped and is hated by the Fallout community says a lot about their intelligence. Not to mention Van Buren would be the only game they could possibly ship by X-mas next year.

So, BIS is no longer. Anytime you see the BIS logo on a future product, know that no one who was associated w/ BIS actually worked on it. BIS is nothing more than a sticker that IPLY slaps on their future product."

BIS = Black Isle Studios
FOBOS = Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
Van Buren = Codename for Fallout 3

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

If there was one game I\'ve been looking forward to for a looong time, it\'s Fallout 3. What were they thinking!?!?

It always seems to happen to the quality companies. The there\'s 3DO etc who get away with pumping out the same crap every year and seem to survive.

Its because people BUY the crap, so the company\'s have money to keep creating crap.

If more people bought these \'non mainstream\' titles then companies might actually survive.

They will, and they have.. I read somewhere that magazines already have a review copy/finished code.

I liked the first BGDA - \'till the end. Fell apart around the last two hours, or so I thought.

I thought that was the best part! You get all the most powerful weapons and spells and..... yeah! Good fun.

The bonus scenario was fun, albeit a little frustrating, too.
