Quoted
here for your pleasure, important bit emphasized:

quote:

Jefferson is on hold (that point was made a long time ago);
we are working on Van Buren. Neither of these games were
officially announced, nor do we intend to announce it until
we believe it's ready to be announced (we want to build a
hype machine only if we really have cool things to show and
support that hype machine). That's about it. We're not
actively trying to *beep* anyone off or hide behind a
conspiracy. When we have something we're proud to show and
hype (read - announce), we will. We are working and are
putting together design docs, game mechanics stuff
(technical term), etc. This is what we do at the beginning
of a big project. Sorry we can't be more specific, but
with the rules discussions that Josh and Briarus (sic) are
throwing around, you can pretty much guess what we're
working on - at least I hope you can. But we cannot
officially announce anything at this moment. Besides,
wouldn't you rather we announce the game when it is passed
the pre-alpha stage and not get burned out on the hype if we
announce the game a year or two in advance?

Josh is our very own ropekid, for those
who don't know. Who, by the way, HAS been posting 'hay
what do you want to change about Fallout neway heres what i
think' threads.

Heh. Van

those after project Nixon and Carter, and they'll have to
start using vice president names.

Like it or not, this is a whole lot
different from 'woah ropekid has a robot wallpaper' and 'woah
ropekid is talking about special system restructuring'
suggesting FO3 development. You can go bump-mock those threads
if you want to fulfill your 'teehee starved fanboys'
quota.

This one has the third element of another black
isle dude POSTING on their boards about how robot wallpaper +
fallout skill system = GUESS WHAT GAME'S COMING OUT HURR HURR
NO PRIZES FOR GETTING IT RIGHT

Just in case you're so
laid back, all that didn't occur to you.

Neverwinter Nights

Anyway, considering that Half-life 2, Doom 3,
and all those other sextastic games are coming out much before
Fallout 3, I sure do hope they have something special up their
sleeves. Fallout is a great series but I think that it'll be
at most a distraction from Counter-Strike 2 and TF2 unless
they put some REALLY COOL SHIT into the game.

You underestimate the Fallout fanbase.
They'll buy 3 copies of this game for themselves and their
pets then bitch and moan how its unlike
the first two and how Interplay is raping the holy corpse of
Fallout

Fallout 3 had better be the best game ever,
whether or not it's really be made now.

This is actually quite like the die hard
Fallout fans. The shitstorm about FO:BOS (AKA Fallout
Enforcer, FO:POS []they sure are clever) is huge relatiev
to the fanbase.

Yeah, but what's with that project Ford?
Looks absolutely stupid....

Fallout 3 must be
awesome. I don't care much if this is it or not, so long as it
DOES come out, and kicks ass when it does.

I was never very big on them in the first place,
but I can easily see why others would enjoy them. I'm not a
big CRPG fan, which is why, but the news still makes me happy.

I'm

I'm glad that
it's finally being worked on, supposedly at least, but I'm
still pissed about Jefferson.

Isn't working on a
game(and it's stunning engine, might I add) to the point where
you're nearly ready to unveil it, which takes god-knows how
many hours of time, and then just putting it on hold
blatantly, over the top stupid? I mean I realize it's out of
BIS's hands, but should these morons really be called
management when they make decisions a toddler would realize
are dumb?

Bleh, anyway, lets all hope this game lives
up to it's legacy.

You know, if
you take rope kid's name, and arbitrarily change and add some
letters, its spells out "Fallout 3 - Spring 2004".

I hope they
get people from the original team working on it. I'd hate to
see Fallout turn into another BG 2 - ID1-2 just because people
want to work on FALLOUT - "Hay I have got so many great ideas
that are little bit different from the original concept but
hay I can maek this gaem great lolol also it will look great
in mah portfolio."

I'm afraid that FO3 is going to
be so hyped up it will turn into another NWN shitfest.
