[Game -> Update]

<html><body><blockquote>Highly Anticipated Console Game to Hit Shelves on January 13th</blockquote>[Their words, not mine]<blockquote>IRVINE, CA - (December 18, 2003) - Interplay Entertainment Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IPLY) and Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) announced today that Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel will ship to retail on January 13, 2004. The action-adventure game will be available for the PlayStationÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â®2 computer entertainment system and the XboxÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â® video game system from Microsoft.
 
 In this gritty 3rd person game, players are transported back into the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the highly acclaimed and successful Fallout PC franchise. Up to two players can utilize a combination of intense combat strategies integrating melee, ranged weapons and explosives to assume membership in the Brotherhood of Steel - a group of warriors determined to bring their own sense of order to a post apocalyptic nuked-out wasteland. Challenged by hordes of ghouls, mutants and other radioactive nightmares, players must fulfill the daunting task of defeating the mutant army in hopes of restoring humanity in a nearly unlivable universe. Welcome to the wasteland!
 
 Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel will be available at retail on January 13, 2004 with a suggested retail price of $49.95 and an ESRB "Mature" rating. For more information on Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel visit the website at www.interplay.com/fbos.</blockquote>Umm, nice date they picked out, the 13th. Could you pick any unluckier number? I think this is an omen for things to come.</body></html>

$49.95?

I wouldn't pay a dollar for this... I truely hope that this fails in a way that will stop the release of FOBOS2 and resurect F3... but I don't think that will ever happen.

I wouldn't want it if they gave me 49,95. Well maybe but i'd buy gasoline for 49,95 and have myself some fireworks.

Woah, that's intense. I mean, woah, stand the fuck back man, three different intense combat strategies! That's unheard of. Hell of an advertising pitch they got there. And it gets better!

I'm Highly Anticipating it, and the final death of Interplay shortly after when it fails to sell.

What's sad is that the game 'Jackal' for NES did all this already, and it was made more than a decade ago. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

You missed something

They missed the Christmass buying period by a good month. Owned.

And I'm sure chuckie anticipates it

Is that just the American release date? I'm presuming that like here in the UK, the US have the January Sales? So while FOBOS sits on the shelf at full price, all the slightly older games will be marked down for the sales. Who buys a brand new game, at full price, at that time of year when they can get two - three older games for the same amount of money?

It's a console game. By default it'll sell a MINIMUM 100,000 copies world-wide, unless it really, really sucks. Personally, I don't think the gameplay in FO:BOS is going to be that absolutely God awful. I can guarantee that a greater focus on sex will push young consumers away (12 year olds find it very embarrasing to buy pr0n in front of people at a game store and Mummy and Daddy generally aren't going to be too happy if little Timmy wants it for Christmas) and it doesn't attract older consumers (the ones who get to have real sex). That said, if enough people say "Oh boy, the Ganmeplay sure is fun", then enough people will buy it to warrant a sequel (although the Gameplay in BMX XXX was apparently quite fun too).

I don't think itll bring Interplay back from the dead, but it may give them enough air for their last gasp (FO:BOS 2). The simple fact that they've gotten into such a hole in the first place shows the existing management can't run the company in an effective manner. Certainly not well enough for them to last too much longer.

Herve Caen and Interplay...two reasons why the French and Americans should never again work together.

Well the bigger this will ricochet back into Iply's face, the cheaper the license is gonna be, and Iply can't play hard to get with whoring the license some more, cause its a proven company buster haha.

... And let's see them lynched by their 'beloved and we do everything for them' shareholders after hihi (little horny schoolgirl laugh).

i got some from gamespy:

Fallout: BoS Dated - Prophet

The action-adventure game will be available for the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox. The game will carry a suggested retail price of $49.95 and an ESRB "Mature" rating. Fans waiting for a Fallout product can at least take heart in knowing that something is on the way, though for current generation consoles only.

yeah we will take it at heart, but not the way you guys think.....
