Jiles Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Well, I've got some 'good' news to share with and RPG fans out there. It seems that everyones favourite Frenchman, Herve Caen, has decided to lay off most of Black Isle Software and cancell Fallout 3. Bless 'im. Right before Christmas too. You can find the thread here.

Jiles Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Meh. I never liked Baldaur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, or whatever. Thank you ever so kindly for your sterling contribution to this thread. Tell me, if you don't like the games they made, why did you bother posting?

amoeba Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Thank you ever so kindly for your sterling contribution to this thread. Tell me, if you don't like the games they made, why did you bother posting? Just increasing his post count...Sheesh, give a guy a hard time over nothing :) hehe Never got a chance to play any Interplay games for more than a few minutes but it's definitely sad to see people leave game companies after they've been such an integral part (as with any job, I guess). Thanks for the note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastage Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Black Isle (Fallout and BG series) is no more as publisher and owner Interplay (who have major finanicial issues) decided to focus on a more profitable consoles crap. http://www.nma-fallout.com/ - as u can see confirmed by the fired Black Isle personal.

tronmaster Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 That sucks.... The problem of small companies being merged by bigger companies. Chances are you are going to be broken, look at Dynamix and Westwood and now Black Isle... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanatar Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 That is very upsetting news. Black Isle Studio's has made some of the best RPG's ever made. The Baldur`s gate Series and Fallout series to name a few. Planescape:Torment has to be one of the best Infinity engine games ever made. It has the best story in an RPG ever!! This news doesn't affect the Never Winter Nights franchise does it? I am pretty sure they were not made by BlackIsle. I hope not anyway, since there are still some amazing expansions in the works for NWN. I am pretty sure they will recover under another name and keep going with Fallout 3 eventually. They love their games with a passion. I am sure they will find a way to get it completed eventually. (Look at Thief 3 and Deus Ex 2). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
