Black Isle update

Post by King of Creation »

<strong>[ Company -> Update ]</strong> - More info on <a href="http://www.falloutwiki.com/Black Isle Studios">Company: Black Isle Studios</a> | More info on <a href="http://www.falloutwiki.com/Interplay">Company: Interplay</a>

<p>One of our sources with insider knowledge of Interplay has sent an update regarding the Black Isle announcment:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>You will find the <a href="http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Chris_Taylor">Chris</a> <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/developer/shee ... >Taylor</a> (Lead Designer of Fallout) and <a href="http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Mark_O%27Green">Mark</a> <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/developer/shee ... O'Green</a> (Dialog for Fallout) at Black Isle. Right now everyone is saying it's only Black Isle in name and that's simply not true. I know it for a FACT.</em></p>
<p><em>Just some food for thought.</em></p>
<p><em>Thanks,</em></p>
<p><em>The Master</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Edit: Black Isle are working on a game, but I can now confirm that it is not a new <em>Plancescape</em> or a new <em>Icewind Dale</em>. I can also confirm that this new game is directly related to a game that Black Isle has done in the past. A new <em>Dark Alliance</em>, perhaps?</p>

Their budget is highly unlikely to be above that of your average indie game / kickstarter project.
So essentially we'll see them licensing some terrible engine with half-assed graphics and a half-assed storyline because the deadlines were too draconian. But of course this will have been their first project (in a while) in order to get more funding (because releasing half-assed games instils investor confidence).

Now mind you, I'd love to be wrong.

Worrying that neither fellow has anything to his name coming out in the last decade.
