Interested, disapointed and Interplay vs Bethesda

First off I would like to star by pointing out fallout is by far my favorite video game series, there is just something about the atmosphere in it that I truly enjoy. Anyway, when I heard about Fallout Online I will admit I was hyped, sadly at that time I was a pc gamer.... I had a few great rigs, I could run any game; but this year I switched over to console gaming and I'm a little disappointed that this wont be on 360 or ps3. If Final Fantasy did it so Fallout certainly could.

Now I want to go off on a little tangent about the whole gamesas vs beth. thing. Ok, really I don't think Bethesda should get the rights.... don't get me wrong they certainly did introduce the name "Fallout" to a broader audience, but it didn't really FEEL like fallout. I liked Fallout 3 but certainly not as much as lets say Fallout 2... and as for gamesas getting the rights, I mean most of the people that worked at gamesas and made fallout are no longer there. What I'm trying to get at is really nether should really get it, unless gamesas still has some of the originals with them, then they should defiantly get it because then it will truly FEEL like fallout. The formula of gameplay for Fallout 3 was not bad, actually I liked it more than the gameplay in Fallout 1 & 2, but in the way Fallout New Vegas implemented it. I don't know why, but I adored New Vegas. If you look past the glitches and bugs its a great game and its ALOT more like Fallout than Fallout 3 was. If gamesas got the rights and hired Obsidian to make the game then we could be looking at a bright future for Fallout. With gamesas & Bbsidian there would be less bugs and it would feel like Fallout because some of the originals were with obsidian for New Vegas.

Anyway back on the topic of Fallout Online I hear its going to be more of a hybrid between the two and based on some early pics I can kind of get where they are going with this, I just hope they can pull it off successfully and make it truly feel like a Fallout experience.
