I guess I just don't get it.
Fallout 1 & 2 come out in late 90's with FO 2 coming out in 1998. The franchise is very popular and despite this...gets canned for a complete decade before being revisited in 2008.
After being revised in 2008 and 2010, these games have proven to be large money makers as well as carrying a cult following.
Now...on to the real reason why I posted this thread.
Why in gods name would a company take a money making franchise (not just FO...any $$ making game franchise) and completely bury it once? Here we are...4 years later and nothing. With a fanbase ready and willing to shell out serious $$ for a new game...the franchise owners chose to basically ignore it and their fanbase completely.
A fanbase so desperate for new content that you get stuff like this popping up:
http://kotaku.com/modders-are-turning-fallout-new-vegas-into-a-whole-new-1659760109
As well as live action fan made content...
This has less to do with Fallout and more to do with the industry and their constant stupidity with game development. Time and time again it seems people who have little interest in games are running the show and is one of the many reason why I don't modern game much at all.
...end rant...
