For those truly fans of the old school Fallout developed by Black isle studios please keep in mind that they are now Obsidian Entertainment and no longer with Interplay, they actually developed Fallout New Vegas
Not true. Original Fallout 1 creator was Chris Taylor now working in Interplay. Read the credits in F1 manual.
Additionally, large majority of Fallout crew from Black Isle ended up in Troika Games, not Obsidian.
There is not a single designer now working in Obsidian that worked on Fallout 1. There is only Chris Avellone that worked on F2 (as a designer, among many other designers)
This is all I know and I simply am not interested in doing to much more research into it.
"In 1998, several key members responsible for the division's first title, Fallout, left Interplay to form Troika Games after they "were unable to come to an agreement with Interplay as to how [their] next team should be structured".[5] On December 8, 2003, in the midst of serious financial difficulties,Interplay laid off the entire Black Isle Studios staff.[6] By then, most members had moved on to found a new company called Obsidian Entertainment (2003–present)."
Black Isle and Wizards are the gods of RPG back in the hayday, unlike now where Square "Suck"it is produsing trash rpgs like a Bull produses cowpie. I welcome Interplay to come back into the rpg world and BEG them to team with Wizards of The Coast again. MTG online damit I want to play a counter-discard ( blue black mad jack) mage in an rp not a card game! Fallout Online will be the test to see if I lobby for it.

Interplay doesnt deserve to be in the rpg world after what they did to fallout.

WTF!? Nah, Fallout 3 was horrible...ARE THESE GUYS NUTS!?! Please give this MMO to a company whos not afraid to realize just how damn good FO:3 was...now im disappointed...
Whoot no more bethusdia, them jack holes just about ruined the fallout universe. Good riddiance I say.
I would love to play fallout stuff made by interplay.
Sorry bud, cant ruin something that interplay drove into the ground, bethesda raised it from teh grave in an awesome from, unless you honestly think the last fallout game interplay made was better than fallout 3, then your crazy.

Wasn't Fallout 2 the last Fallout that Interplay and Black Isle made? Tactics had a different developer, if that's what you mean.
If Fallout 2 was the last one that Interplay and Black Isle created, then yes; it's better than FO:3 (IMO, of course).

Brotherhood of steel was the last one, and all it was was dark alliance reskinned fallout, which is why i have such a hard time beliving how people can want interplay to do anything fallout, especially if they consider FO3 dumbed down then brotherhood should be considered a preschool toy.

Yup. Best thing to do is redevelop the franchise because Fallout 3 wasn't well received. Was a pretty bad chapter in the series, really. Won no awards. I don't even think Bethesda made any money off it. I don't even think they are planning a sequel.
Seriously however: Interplay have a skeleton staff, have no money and have employed the help of a studio that is not tried or tested and has no released titles to its name. What are people seriously expecting of this? What are Interplay expecting of this? A cash cow. Fallout Online will be an underdeveloped, broken title that will largely fail in the eyes of MMO and Fallout fans.
I hope Bethesda succeed in suing the shit out of them.
realy? than why they make Fallout New Vegas which was just released?

Wow man did you even do any research about the game before you talked about it.. It has won many awards Copied from wiki
Fallout 3 won several awards following its showcasing at E3 2007. IGN gave it the Game of E3 2007 award, and GameSpot gave it the Best Role-Playing Game of E3 2007 award.[95][96] Following the game's demonstration at E3 2008, IGN also gave it Best Overall RPG, Best Overall Console Game, and Overall Game of the Show for E3 2008.[97]Game Critics Awards gave the game Best Role-Playing Game and Best of Show for E3 2008[98] and GamePro Magazine awarded the game "PC Game of the Year" 2008.
After its release, Fallout 3 won numerous awards from gaming journalists and websites. At the 2009 Game Developer's Choice Awards, it won overall Game of the Year along with Best Writing. It was also awarded Game of the Year by IGN,[81]Games Radar,[99] GameSpy,[100]UGO, Gamasutra and the Golden Joystick Awards.[85] The game also won Best Xbox Game from Official Xbox Magazine, GameSpy and IGN, while winning Best PC Game from GameSpy and both Game Trailers[101][102] and GameSpot,[83][84] with the latter two also awarding it Best RPG. More recently, the UK PC gaming magazine PC Gamer gave Fallout 3 2nd place on its '100 Best PC games of all time' list, praising its user-modifications, deep gameplay and overall polish.
At the end of 2009, Fallout 3 was featured in IGN's Best Video and Computer Games of the Decade (2000–2009), with the game being placed top game of 2008[103] and 7th overall game of the decade.[104]
Bethesda did publish Fallout New Vegas but Obsidian which has some people from Back Isle Studios. But the game is not a direct sequel. I never got to play Fallout in its prime and when I tried to play it not to long ago it was just weird and the graphics were just out of date. Which is really funny cuz I'll still play NES games but I couldn't play Fallout. Maybe its the nostalgia that keeps me playing NES games.

wait a sec.. Fallout 3 was "too serious" but in this fallout online we're not JUST gonna be shooting, but charged with reconstructing the world? sounds pretty serious to me..

Well, my whole thing is that Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel was developed by a completely different team than the previous two. At that point, the only thin Interplay had to do with it was publishing, and even that was under a different entity.
Point is, I wouldn't hold that travesty against the original teams.

The Interplay dev team is lead by Chris Taylor - an actual designer for the Fallout 1. Based on the news on the Interplay website - it says he joined the ranks of the original Fallout 1 dev team. Chris Taylor is the actual creator of the Fallout, not the guys now working in Obsidian on F:Vegas. They were more responsible for the next Fallout installment (F2). I can go name by name using both manuals if you wish.
It was a golden age for RPGs when Interplay was producing games with their Black Isle division (Baldur's Gate 1, Fallout 1,2, Planescape) -- and again those did not that end up in Obsidian, they mostly ended up in Troika Games, and after that spread out among multiple companies.
If you rather enjoyed Fallout 3 than first and second installment, then there's not much to tell. Leave us this promising project for us - those that enjoyed F1 and F2 far more than the semi-FPS dumbed down F3. If all you care is about how popular it is, and how much money it made, then congratulations to your preference -- wish I had the same and could enjoy the same mass marketted garbage.
Cause getting a dude who designed that one single-player game thirteen years ago to make an incredibly huge and complex modern game is surely the very best idea.

I think the fact that everything he said in the second paragraph was flat out untrue was the first hint that it was sarcasm. Maybe you're just one of those people who doesn't get sarcasm?
meh, i loved the fallout series but the whole turning it into a comedy and reconstruction being the priority over combat sounds weak. Is that supposed to mean its a crafting game where combat is a diversion?
The reconstruction idea is good, but fallout 3 had plenty of comedy and wasn't as serious as some people wanted it. I wouldn't worry guys, this game is vaporware anyways. Interplay can't get their stuff together, and bethesda will probably win back the rights to the mmo version of fallout.
How do I know? How many serious mmo projects announce a release quarter 2 years in advance? (hint, we don't have a release date for SWTOR yet).
All the back and forth bickering over F1 vs. F3 in these comments is just plain silly. Listen, I enjoyed Fallout 1 as much as anyone else, more than most. It still counts as one of my favorite single-player RPG's of all time.
But, that being said, I have absolutely NO hopes that this Fallout MMO will be any good, if it ever even sees the light of day. Interplay of today is NOT the Interplay of the Fallout 1 era. All of you who are taking them seriously are seriously addled . They have done absolutely NOTHING worthwhile in gaming for many, many years....and then you expect that they will be able to not only release a Fallout game worthy of the series name, but an MMO at that?
MMO's are majorly hard to get right, as evidenced by how rare it is for any developer to do so. Yet somehow you expect this failed company, with no recent contributions of any note to gaming, to be able to step up and out of nowhere manage it? Just because one dude working on it has his name on the Fallout 1 box too?
Reminds me of all the people lining up to crow just how great Tabula Rasa was going to be, simply because Richard Garriot's name was attached to it. We see how that worked out for them.
Brotherhood of steel was the last one, and all it was was dark alliance reskinned fallout, which is why i have such a hard time beliving how people can want interplay to do anything fallout, especially if they consider FO3 dumbed down then brotherhood should be considered a preschool toy.

Not fallout tactics brotherhood of steel, fallout brotherhood of steel, 2 different games.
Brotherhood of steel was a console game that was nothing but a hack and slash game like baldurs gate dark alliance only fallout, but wasnt nearly as good as DA. which is why i have a hard time beliving anyone wants interplay to do anything fallout, since FO3>>>>>BoS in just about every way.

Who cares? interplays crap, and there just gonna run this into the ground just like they did fallout before bethesda saved it from the grave.
Or does everyone not remember the last fallout game interplay made?
Apparently stating the truth in my sig is "trolling"
Sig typo fixed thanks to an observant stragen001.
This is all I know and I simply am not interested in doing to much more research into it.
"In 1998, several key members responsible for the division's first title, Fallout, left Interplay to form Troika Games after they "were unable to come to an agreement with Interplay as to how [their] next team should be structured".[5] On December 8, 2003, in the midst of serious financial difficulties,Interplay laid off the entire Black Isle Studios staff.[6] By then, most members had moved on to found a new company called Obsidian Entertainment (2003–present)."
From Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Isle_Studios
So interplay got one guy, several went to form there own company and the rest went to Obsidian.
So it's Interplay and 1 guy from the development team of Fallout vs. Bethesda and Obsidian who has several members from the former black isle studios.
Guess which still gets my vote lol.
IF they just did it like "bad blood" (DOS, 1990) then I'd be happy
Black Isle and Wizards are the gods of RPG back in the hayday, unlike now where Square "Suck"it is produsing trash rpgs like a Bull produses cowpie. I welcome Interplay to come back into the rpg world and BEG them to team with Wizards of The Coast again. MTG online damit I want to play a counter-discard ( blue black mad jack) mage in an rp not a card game! Fallout Online will be the test to see if I lobby for it.
Interplay doesnt deserve to be in the rpg world after what they did to fallout.

WTF!? Nah, Fallout 3 was horrible...ARE THESE GUYS NUTS!?! Please give this MMO to a company whos not afraid to realize just how damn good FO:3 was...now im disappointed...
Sorry bud, cant ruin something that interplay drove into the ground, bethesda raised it from teh grave in an awesome from, unless you honestly think the last fallout game interplay made was better than fallout 3, then your crazy.

Wasn't Fallout 2 the last Fallout that Interplay and Black Isle made? Tactics had a different developer, if that's what you mean.
If Fallout 2 was the last one that Interplay and Black Isle created, then yes; it's better than FO:3 (IMO, of course).

Wow man did you even do any research about the game before you talked about it.. It has won many awards Copied from wiki
Fallout 3 won several awards following its showcasing at E3 2007. IGN gave it the Game of E3 2007 award, and GameSpot gave it the Best Role-Playing Game of E3 2007 award.[95][96] Following the game's demonstration at E3 2008, IGN also gave it Best Overall RPG, Best Overall Console Game, and Overall Game of the Show for E3 2008.[97] Game Critics Awards gave the game Best Role-Playing Game and Best of Show for E3 2008[98] and GamePro Magazine awarded the game "PC Game of the Year" 2008.
After its release, Fallout 3 won numerous awards from gaming journalists and websites. At the 2009 Game Developer's Choice Awards, it won overall Game of the Year along with Best Writing. It was also awarded Game of the Year by IGN,[81] Games Radar,[99] GameSpy,[100] UGO, Gamasutra and the Golden Joystick Awards.[85] The game also won Best Xbox Game from Official Xbox Magazine, GameSpy and IGN, while winning Best PC Game from GameSpy and both Game Trailers[101][102] and GameSpot,[83][84] with the latter two also awarding it Best RPG. More recently, the UK PC gaming magazine PC Gamer gave Fallout 3 2nd place on its '100 Best PC games of all time' list, praising its user-modifications, deep gameplay and overall polish.
At the end of 2009, Fallout 3 was featured in IGN's Best Video and Computer Games of the Decade (2000–2009), with the game being placed top game of 2008[103] and 7th overall game of the decade.[104]
Bethesda did publish Fallout New Vegas but Obsidian which has some people from Back Isle Studios. But the game is not a direct sequel. I never got to play Fallout in its prime and when I tried to play it not to long ago it was just weird and the graphics were just out of date. Which is really funny cuz I'll still play NES games but I couldn't play Fallout. Maybe its the nostalgia that keeps me playing NES games.
sarcasm.
wait a sec.. Fallout 3 was "too serious" but in this fallout online we're not JUST gonna be shooting, but charged with reconstructing the world? sounds pretty serious to me..
I hope there's Monty Python quotes or whatever. :P
Once again I've been had by the trickery of sarcasm. Its so hard to tell when people are posting especially when they don't do anything to make it different from their normal type. If people would just do Italics or do a /sarcasm at the end it would make things a lot easier to interpret.
He had me as well, until I seen "Seriously however".
Well, my whole thing is that Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel was developed by a completely different team than the previous two. At that point, the only thin Interplay had to do with it was publishing, and even that was under a different entity.
Point is, I wouldn't hold that travesty against the original teams.

Don't they have to release the game before a certain date to keep the rights to a Fallout MMO? Rushing things is never a good sign for a quality game if so.
Cause getting a dude who designed that one single-player game thirteen years ago to make an incredibly huge and complex modern game is surely the very best idea.
I think the fact that everything he said in the second paragraph was flat out untrue was the first hint that it was sarcasm. Maybe you're just one of those people who doesn't get sarcasm?
meh, i loved the fallout series but the whole turning it into a comedy and reconstruction being the priority over combat sounds weak. Is that supposed to mean its a crafting game where combat is a diversion?
The reconstruction idea is good, but fallout 3 had plenty of comedy and wasn't as serious as some people wanted it. I wouldn't worry guys, this game is vaporware anyways. Interplay can't get their stuff together, and bethesda will probably win back the rights to the mmo version of fallout.
How do I know? How many serious mmo projects announce a release quarter 2 years in advance? (hint, we don't have a release date for SWTOR yet).
Yeah, that's right.
All the back and forth bickering over F1 vs. F3 in these comments is just plain silly. Listen, I enjoyed Fallout 1 as much as anyone else, more than most. It still counts as one of my favorite single-player RPG's of all time.
But, that being said, I have absolutely NO hopes that this Fallout MMO will be any good, if it ever even sees the light of day. Interplay of today is NOT the Interplay of the Fallout 1 era. All of you who are taking them seriously are seriously addled . They have done absolutely NOTHING worthwhile in gaming for many, many years....and then you expect that they will be able to not only release a Fallout game worthy of the series name, but an MMO at that?
MMO's are majorly hard to get right, as evidenced by how rare it is for any developer to do so. Yet somehow you expect this failed company, with no recent contributions of any note to gaming, to be able to step up and out of nowhere manage it? Just because one dude working on it has his name on the Fallout 1 box too?
Reminds me of all the people lining up to crow just how great Tabula Rasa was going to be, simply because Richard Garriot's name was attached to it. We see how that worked out for them.
Not fallout tactics brotherhood of steel, fallout brotherhood of steel, 2 different games.
Brotherhood of steel was a console game that was nothing but a hack and slash game like baldurs gate dark alliance only fallout, but wasnt nearly as good as DA. which is why i have a hard time beliving anyone wants interplay to do anything fallout, since FO3>>>>>BoS in just about every way.
