Thats great and all but huh...
Interplay can you please make Baldur's Gate DA 3 now?

Cajun Chicken5256d ago

MDK 3 or reboot of series would be welcome too!

Baka-akaB5256d ago

why the f***k would you even want a Baldur's gate without obsidian or bioware ?

One could even argue DA is baldur's gate 3

Gothdom5256d ago

I'd want a new Lost Vikings or Blackthorne, but I don't know if Blizzard or Interplay owns them

Perkel5256d ago

:One could even argue DA is baldur's gate 3 :

in dreams.. it's ligt years from eachother.

You can't simply do game of this scale in those days.. in 3d.

Fallout tried and failed, same with nwn...

wxer5256d ago

sorry but
didn't Bethesda bought ( paid money ) to get the copy right's ??

am i missing something in here ??

Sarevok5256d ago

True...I miss black isle.
Planescape,Icewind dale 1&2,Baldur's gate,fallout 1&2.

They did great things in the late 90s.

Baka-akaB5256d ago (Edited 5256d ago )

@Perkel

uh ? games of bigger scopes have been done already in 3d .
And DA3 is easily of the same scale .

Is the story as great and epic and the characters as interesting ? i dont think so but it ends there .

So far the only real difference between DA and BG would be obviously the different story and setting and the obvious lack of official D&D rules .

Da is basically their own BG with their own license and a simplified gameplay to an extent , for consoles .

As for Neverwinter nights , it never even tried . it was basically a multiplayer engine glued to an incredible underwhelming sp campaign .

And we all knows that even if way better than oblivion , Fo3 is quite close to a reskin of oblivion . So no they didnt try neither , they made a totally different with the license fallout they bought

What's the next bs , telling me that the Witcher would have been bigger and better in 2d ?

Judge must've bought Bethesda's Fallout 3 DLC or Game of the Year edition and realized they were glitch as well and it would be a crime to let Bethesda make an MMO Fallout that would be glitchy as well.

Jamescagney5256d ago

They should let you make the games. You'd make them perfectly aye?

Baka-akaB5256d ago (Edited 5256d ago )

sorry but he's right in some way ...
I dont see how you defend that fiercely such a blatant history of bugged games .

That's what they were famous for , before their big morrowind and oblivion break .

Now thanks the gods , their games are very glitchy but playable .

Jamescagney5256d ago

Yes but look at the games they are making and the scope of problems they face when they make them. Perhaps they should just make linear games that have less than half the problems they have to deal with.

I've played Oblivion and FO3 a lot and have hardly run into any bugs worth mentioning. I must just be lucky.

Baka-akaB5255d ago (Edited 5255d ago )

There is no way to deny it , when as an example there are even articles ( and by that i just dont mean bloggers) about Fallout 3 dlcs being bugged at launch , each fricking time for numerous people ...

And i disagree here , there are still a few other devs doing games of such scales without as many issues and bugs . Hell mmos launches with basically the same issues or even less and they got a lot more stuff on their plate to handle . They dont even seems to do basic QC and testing .

It would be one thing to have some odds obscure sidequest or item bugged as usual with everyone , and indeed be forgivable given the game's size ...

However when even your dlc are each time broken at release ? I say they get quite some free passes many other devs gets for rather silly bugs and errors .

Redempteur5255d ago

This is funny .. the second dlc wouldn't even start Because the call leading to it didn't show up ..

IF this simple thing wasn't tested .. how the hell does some people try to defend the buggy game ..??

Still wondering why ...

Bethesda should never touch Fallout (especially after they put out that garbage Fallout 3).

Sarevok5256d ago

I know right? In fallout 1 and 2 I died I a lot! Fallout 1&2 were hard and fun.

Fallout 3 was a cake walk even on the very hard settings I had 457 stempacks by the time I got to the end of the game.(oh and endless ammo)

Why Dat5256d ago

Yea, sure I'm living in the past, but I FULLY support Interplay.

I will never tire of Fallout 1 and 2. I still think they totally own Fallout 3 any day.

I can't be the only one that loves Interplay and the originals.

Todd Howard Has No Plans to Retire, Open to Other Studios Making Fallout Games

In a recent interview, Todd Howard revealed that he has no plans to retire and reiterated Bethesda's openness to help from other studios.

DOMination-1d 10h ago

Oh great, now we have to deal with Anasts Bethesda fetish indefinitely.

Thanks a lot, Todd

anast1d 7h ago

You're welcome for the free entertainment. Usually, it comes at a cost of $70 because of inflation.

Crows901d 7h ago

That's an inflated price...

anast1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

@Crows

It would be if it weren't a valuable resource.

mastershredder1d 9h ago

"with no plans to retire anytime soon" I mean this is like a common news topic involving his name. Knock it off and do some actual newsing. This is like the biggest "No Duh" article of the day, and several sites had to regurgitate it. Geez. So lame.

This is when he'll retire.

nmbr1esq1d 8h ago

He doesn't have to retire, just the stupid outdated garbage creation engine.

Kados1d 7h ago

Netimmerse 4.0, presumably 5.0 for TES6. They should give the Fallout IP to Obsidian, and have it made in UE5.

I’m going to get back into Fallout 4 since I haven’t finished it yet. The recent update will likely give me more of an incentive to get to it sooner rather than later.

Crows901d 7h ago

The recent update does nothing except take up more space...

raWfodog1d 4h ago

New armor, weapons, and mission(s) is enough for me, especially since I haven’t finished the game yet.

mastershredder1d 8h ago

Where is the problem part again?
There is a show
There is 76 that is perfect for non-standard fallout players and perfect for Bethesda to coin up on.
There is a Fallout Shelter
There is Fallout 4 updated for current gen (that went free for subscription services in most cases).

Also there is a whole new audience that has never seen or played fallout before. Seems like they have PLENTY to dig into, before they worry about FO5.

They are beyond trending and are banking with willing investors atm, and you are calling it a problem. Mkay. Sounds more like you are just chapped that FO5 is not point of discussion. No worries, it is coming, just gonna take a bit. Just be glad MS and Bethesda ironed out their multi-platform woes, THAT was a problem, the rest is cake.

danno_omen1d 8h ago

I called it a good problem because they have so much momentum, or did you fail to read that part

anast1d 7h ago

That momentum is going to die when the new players realize their games aren't very well made compared to other games.

andy8523h ago

The answer is no there won't. 2030s

Don't Be Afraid To Try The Original Fallouts

Just because they're old doesn't mean they aren't worth revisiting.

TGG_overlord3d ago

The three first "Fallout" games are still pure RPG gold in the current year imo.

VenomUK3d ago

@TheGamer I haven’t tried the original 2d games because I’m so afraid.

shinoff21833d ago

Don't be afraid. I actually started fallout with 3 back in the day and so I went to play the ogs. I like the ogs more. We just didn't have a pc as a teen.

ocelot073d ago

I agree I played the original 3 a few years ago and they are fun. I feel this needs to be said though. Console players don't have access to these games and that's a shame. However, If you have any sort of windows laptop you can play them they are really old now a basic office pc can play it.

I also want to say is Fallout Brotherhood Of Steel on the PS2 the first console Fallout game. It gets hate for no reason. I enjoyed them more than the originals. I believe it's on Xbox as well. Anyone with access to a PS2 or Xbox or emulated them on pc. It's a fun game to play. Don't get why it was hated on.

anast3d ago

"Console players don't have access to these games and that's a shame."

These games will run on just about any low end laptop/PC/tablet and they cost next to nothing. I'm 100% positive no one is missing out that actually cares to look into these games.

shinoff21833d ago

That's the bad thing. They re did wasteland for xbox. I know they are 2 different studios but why hasn't the orginal fallouts been done for console. I played on pc but I'd rather play on console with a true controller experience. Is bethesada afraid to be shown up by the source material where their game comes from

anast3d ago

The series peaked at Fallout 2 and started going down hill from there.

purple1013d ago

Don’t think I’ve played any Bethesda games except Quake 3 team arena on pc back in the day!

a lot of their games are slow and boring to me, + as people always say, full of bugs and crashes!

Not what I want, from a full priced game,

Huey_My_D_Long3d ago

I mean Fallout 3 hasn't been full price for over 10 years. FO NV is like 5 bucks on sale. I understand not paying full price for their games, but every FO game out when on sale is just dirt cheap.

purple1013d ago

Yeh the fallout ones in question are all cheap
I’m talking Bethesda as a general remark

Smellsforfree3d ago

Neither Quake 3 or Fallout 2 are "Bethesda Games". ZeniMax Media purchased id software in 2009 and also owns Bethesda.

purple1013d ago

@smells, my bad I got I wrong good point, I assumed doom and quake are from same people and both Bethesda. but yeh, id tech FTW, did you know, both all the halo games, and modernwarfare games, all the way up to 2019 version of MW, are based off a modified quake 3 engine., interesting snips of info for the people, so yeh these companies kept selling technically a game from 1999, heheh, makes me laugh, only in 2019 did they create new engine from scratch, THATS 20 YEARS

Hate turned based worlds. Tried playing 1 10years ago and couldnt figure out howto get past 30 feet.

shinoff21833d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Added a disagree. Then I didn't feel right about it lol. So took it away. Just wanted to say that's a shame cause your missing out on some great games. Turn based are my personal favorite but I play everything except music games, and racing.

mkis0072d ago

I'm going to try again after reading about how to start...I do like the world...not a fan of a timed main quest though.

JL29303d ago

Well no shit, Sherlock.

Glad you're on the case.
