An Interplay stockholder details the countersuit filed by Interplay against Bethesda in reaction to Bethesda's lawsuit over the rights to Fallout Online and the original Fallout games. Interplay argues Bethesda is in breach of contract abd the contract to sell the rights to the series to Bethesda is null and void and Interplay owns the franchise again.

Wow that is an interesting read. I can't believe how greedy Bethesda is if this is true. I also think if Interplay can make new Fallout games after Fallout 5 from Bethesda then that too is interesting. I really think if this is true then Bethesda shot them selves in the foot. Because Interplay now will know people will want a game like Bethesda made and will make one like that. But if I am really lucky one that is the top down view. That I want to see. So this will be an interesting battle if this goes to court.

Sarevok5306d ago

I hope Interplay wins after reading this I was shock to see the underhanded moves Bethesda were using to mess with the sells of fallout 1&2&B.

MisterNiwa5306d ago

Its hard to read your post Joe, because there are many grammar errors.

maybe you should check your own post before commenting on others poor grammar.

DaCajun5306d ago

LMAO, I thought the same thing when I read his remark also.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. People just never learn that if you're going to insult someone about their intelligence, they should first make sure they are intelligent enough to pull it off. Plus either way they just end up looking like an A**hole.

BlackIceJoe5305d ago

Sorry about the errors it was just one of those days and I was in a rush. Plus I was thinking what I was saying and I guess it came out different then what I was saying in my head. I should have reread it but like I said was in a rush.

Interplay needs to make a new Icewind Dale or something ~.~
They were awesome at making rpgs back in the day when they had Black Isle.

STONEY45306d ago

Interplay needs to make a new MDK. And Fallout. And Planescape.

Elven65306d ago

Interplay needs to get some cash first, buy their games on Good Old Games, support the cause!

The Fallout franchise returning to Interplay would be amazing, I've been playing he first two games recently and I am amazed. Fallout 3 was good but it felt too much like Oblivion to me, infact, it wasn't even as indepth as Oblivion!

Plus, Fallout 2 letting you be a pornstar = hilarious!

Rifle-Man5306d ago

LOL! You got to be a pornstar in Fallout 2? I just ended up as a fluffer.

I knew I should've picked that Sex Appeal perk!

Tex1175306d ago

Bethesda was "out lawyered" by Interplay.

Good for Interplay and their legal representation.

Anybody know the law firms involved?

free2game3655306d ago

I'd be rooting for interplay normally, but I remember now that the company is headed by Herve Caen now. So anyone who actually cares about Fallout is long gone.

mrv3215306d ago

I want Van Buren as a Fallout 3 expansion or just running of an improved Fallout 3 engine.

That'd be sweet.

Ausir5306d ago

Not everyone. Chris Taylor, lead designer of Fallout 1, is still at Interplay.

Ausir5306d ago

Van Buren wouldn't work as a Fallout 3 expansion. First, I'd prefer it to use the original gameplay style. Second, it would need map travel like in the originals, since it spanned the entire four states and wasn't a compressed version of one city and its surroundings like Bethesda's FO3.

Elven65305d ago

There is also a little know studio out there called "Obsidian Entertainment" which employees and was created by a majority of the ex Black Isle staff.

How To Solve Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Performance Issue On OLED Steam Deck

Despite being verified for the Steam Deck, Fallout 4 has issues running on the OLED version of Valve's handheld device. Here's how it works.

Isn't this a better and easier work around?...

There is a partial workaround that adds the Fallout 4 launcher back  ;to the Steam Deck version of the game. Players need to add “SteamDeck=0 %command%” to Fallout 4’s launch options in the game’s settings on Steam Deck. But it’s wild and not great that players have to do this just to change visual settings while playing on Valve’s portable PC.

yup, worked for me a few hours ago

MrDead21h ago

This update on PC kills mods, they still didn't improve or fix the draw calls and if you have an RTX card the game still crashes unless you turn off debris.
So if you mod the game it now looks worse, plays worse, all of your saves are broken and the game breaking bugs are still present.

Good work detective

Bethesda strikes again, always thought their games were a tad boring anyway, this was even before Microsoft brought them. Used to quake 3 team arena to death, on an old pc, at the time it was new, fresh, fast paced and innovative, their games these days, are none-of-the-above

Michiel19895h ago

Ever heard of a game called Doom or Wolfenstein, detective?
Also quake 3 arena was made by ID, which at the time wasn't part of Bethesda.

Profchaos8h ago

Yeah I've had friends rebuy the game because the ps plus didn't work and they used to own the last gen version sold off the physical after the PS plus pack included fallout when they got the ps5.

So overall I know ms has likely warned quote a bit from this error.

Barlos1h ago

This game hasn't aged well. I was really looking forward to the update, but I'm just not enjoying it. I never did get on with the settlement building and raiders, and I still don't. I won't be going back to this now.

Ha! They messed up the Xbox upgrade.

GamerRN13h ago

It's not messed up. This mode runs 60fps 1440p with ultra settings. If you want to see the other modes, disable 1440p somehow.

Ironmike15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

They have and they haven't just download 60fps and ultra setting mod and gane looks great

GamerRN12h ago

And Ultra Settings ... @1440p. It's working as expected. There is a star that states in the patch notes that if 1440p is available, quality mode will stay in 60fps 1440p with ultra settings.

Barlos12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Surely not! Bugs with something from Bethesda? Get outta here!

Father__Merrin1h ago

I noticed that performance mode on or off both 60fps which is best mode to use then?

BeRich2331h ago

"On" does seem to perform better too me.
