The company also announced that Chris Taylor, a game designer who was a part of the original Fallout game development team at Interplay in 1994, has rejoined the company. Taylor will serve as Lead System Designer for “Project V13,” the working title of Interplay’s next generation Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMO) currently in development. Taylor joins other original Fallout team members on staff at Interplay’s internal game studio, which recently opened an office in Irvine, Calif. Additional development staff members continue to be hired as the project ramps-up. Link to press releace.Link to main website where some art can be seen. ( Click the V13 in the flash header) Link to " The Vault" wiki where speculation, and current info can be found. |

Why didn't you just make the title Fallout MMO? Comeon now.
That said, I hope they don't try to follow in Bethsofts footsteps even if Fallout 3 turns out awesome.

When they get funding to pay for it, I imagine. It's not the programmers that're expensive anyway, it's all the artists.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

As a matter of fact I swallowed one of these about two hours ago and the explanation is that it is, in fact, my hand.

This will end well.
I feel like I can say what Bethesda is working on now, but I won't because that would be tacky.

Interplay also holds exclusive distribution rights to certain existing Fallout and Redneck titles. Did the titles make that much money? All I think seeing that in a press release is the Top Gear American episode. |

If Interplay / Masthead have started on Project V13, then that might be enough for Interplay to keep the license. Interplay has been saying they've been in pre-production for about six months.
Of course, it could all be a bid to hold onto the IP for a while longer.

Anderson was the creative director on the project prior to leaving to join inExile. When the creative director (and one of the creators of Fallout) quietly jumps ship it suggests forward progress is not being made on the project.

It was working yesterday. I would assume the load from having to serve the "Web site" as a single gigantic Flash app blew things up on their end.

That is the slowest loading flash ever. Christ, is it downloading the actual game? Is it a web game?  |

With the acquisition of Id Software, I hope they're using the Id Tech 5 engine for Fallout:O. OH YUM.

Clicked on it,
went to the toilet,
took a pretty big dump,
came back and saw it was at 42%.
In fact it's still loading now ...
Is it some sort of a simulation of what the internet will be like after the nuclear holocaust hits?

Last night no one knew about it. Was mostly a dead link by the time I checked at seven this morning.

It's a sign when your website loads slower than the game it's advertising.
Mostly it's a sign that no matter how cool you thought the idea was, it didn't need to be ONE GIANT GODDAMNED FLASH APP.
edit: it finally loaded. What is this, a fucking social experiment?
ALL THAT GODAWFUL SLOW FLASH APP DOES IS DISPLAY A STATIC IMAGE AND TAKES YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS FOR THEIR MAILING LIST, THEN REDIRECTS TO INTERPLAY'S FORUMS.
What the unholy shit is in that app that takes so long to load for one, and for two WHY IS YOUR DUMB WEB FORM A FLASH APP.

That progress bar was actually tracking how long it was taking to copy all private data from your HD.

It's slow on purpose. Most people experience slow load time and occasionally someone loads normally to lure the unsuspecting. They're seeing how much interest is in a Fallout MMO and this data is determined by seeing how long the average person is willing to wait to see this "new info"
