Gryph Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 (edited) Interplay Entertainment Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IPLY - News) today reported it has entered into a licensing agreement that will allow Bethesda Softworks to develop and publish Fallout 3, a sequel to the highly popular Fallout role-playing game franchise. The deal awards Bethesda exclusive worldwide rights to publish the title for PC, console, and handhelds with the rights to develop and publish future sequels. Interplay retains all online gaming rights for the Fallout franchise, as well as ownership of the Fallout intellectual property. The company announced last month its intent to enter into Massively Multiplayer Online Gaming with titles including Fallout. Commenting on the announcement, Interplay Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Herve Caen said, "This is a good agreement for both companies and for gamers. Although we had a high level of interest in licensing Fallout among several parties, we are most impressed by Bethesda's execution of role-playing titles. Bethesda is an ideal steward of the Fallout franchise." "We're extremely excited about this opportunity and what it means both for Bethesda and for Fallout fans around the world," said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. "Fallout is one of the great RPG franchises. Millions of Fallout games have been sold worldwide, and fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of a Fallout 3 title. And here is a short interview with Bethesda Software PR guy Pete Hines:HomeLAN - How much input will Interplay have in the development of Fallout 3? Can they say "yes" or "no" to things like game design, story, etc? Pete Hines - We have complete creative control over the development of the game. HomeLAN - Will any team members from the previous Fallout games be involved in Fallout 3? Pete Hines - Too early to talk about stuff like that. HomeLAN - Ok. Final question..has development of Fallout 3 actually begun and can you give us any idea of a release date? Pete Hines - I'll take the last one first. WAY too early to talk release dates. Yeah, we've started pre-production on Fallout 3 development. Bethesda Software is the company that has done the Elder Scroll series so they are a very capable company to make an RPG but Interplay has absolutely no say in any of the development...oh well... IT'S FALLOUT 3!!!! Why am I so excited? Fallout 1 and 2 are my favorite RPGs ever. Edited July 13, 2004 by GryphonKlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryph Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 Oh yeah, and Interplay is making the Fallout MMORPG but that's in the first quote up there. I don't know if I would play that...I mean I don't think enough people are alive in the Fallout universe to allow an MMORPG game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
