If you're a fallout fan READ THIS!!!!

Ok so I have some good news for all fallout fans. Fallout 3 is on the way. No I don't mean the bethesda one. I'm talking about wasteland 2.

So Brian Fargo (brilliant mind behind Wasteland, Fallout, and Fallout 2) started up a team of game developers. They worked on some small stuff, but they yet to actually release anything (they've beenw orking for like 6 years). Their first game to release will be Hei$t (should be in June) and they have the console rights for linerunner.

Now the rights for fallout are damn expensive, but anyone who does a little research will tell you that fallout was considered by interplay to be a spiritual sequel to a game called wasteland. Wasteland was on the ibm, commodore 64, and mac and was released in 88.

Here's the best part. Brian Fargo's team inXile (apparently he named it after how he felt developers treated him or some such thing) bought the rights to wasteland in 2003. This means that if it all works out for inXile they will be releasing what I would call a spiritual successor to fallout 2 in the next five years.

Don't get me wrong fallout 3 looks good, but....I think most hardcore fallout fans will agree that it's not an easy array of themes to recreate.
