Interplay posted this on their site this morning with screenshots, but after about 2 hours it was removed entirely so I assume they're trying to keep it a secret for E3 or something, but here's the press release as it was this AM:
HIGHLY ACCLAIMED FALLOUT FRANCHISE
MAKES ITS CONSOLE DEBUT
Join the Brotherhood of Steel in a battle of post-apocalyptic mayhem

LOS ANGELES, CA - (March 12, 2003) - Vivendi Universal Games and Interplay Entertainment Corp. (OTCBB:IPLY) today announced the development of Fallout(tm): Brotherhood of Steel(tm) for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and the XboxÔ video game system from Microsoft.

This gritty and darkly humorous 3rd person action adventure game transports players into the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the highly acclaimed and successful Fallout PC franchise. Utilizing a combination of intense combat strategies integrating melee, ranged weapons and explosives, 1 to 2 players can assume membership in The Brotherhood of Steel, warriors determined to bring their own sense of order to a nuked-out wasteland. "We're very excited about bringing the Fallout universe to console gamers," said Scot Lane, Executive Producer at Interplay. "The game play is more attuned to the console platform, stressing more action and combat than the PC versions which placed a greater emphasis on RPG elements or strategy."

The fear of an apocalypse has become a reality. Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel begins after the first Fallout PC title in which humans emerge from the safety of underground vaults to explore the earth following a nuclear holocaust. In joining the Brotherhood of Steel, players will uncover a sinister plot that could transform the remainder of humanity into a race of mutants. The Brotherhood of Steel have come together to wage battle against the mutant raiders and pirates to fulfill their search for a mysterious and heavily sought-after device, one that could be used to help rebuild humanity or as a monstrous toll of war.

For more information on the state of the world in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel please check out the website at www.interplay.com/fbos. Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is set to release this fall.

Damn, it looks real. Either it is or somebody made a joke, you can see references to this game in the google cache of www.interplay.com/legal.asp. I've got a PS2, but I think this one will go to the not buy list.

But I'll keep an eye open just in case it is good.

And once again "If it doesn't sell it is not a problem of the gameplay, is a problem of the setting" :wink:

Behind you.
Well, fuck me running. Looks legit, and also looks like Interplay's totally fucking rewriting Fallout's history. Wonderful.

They should have gone with the name, Fallout: Enforcer, judging by the description.

Well I just gave my two cents on the BIS/IPLY forums. I can't believe those nitwits. You know FO as a setting is just not that great. Its kind of funny how FU and IPLY don't even know what made FO have the following it has.

The sad thing is, we can't do that much about it. I am seriously doubtful that they will rewrite Fallout's history. If they re-wrote the history to fit into a 3D action game, then we will be screwed. It just seems insulting that they have the nerve to fuck us sideways with this. Fallout 3 is a distant dream.

Also, because of FO:T, people may think the Fallout world is...something it is not. And I can bet all my money it will have NOTHING to do with the original series, save setting. And even the setting might be fucked.

It angered me so much that I rushed a Comment over at NMA. Fucking Christ on a pony.
I guess we'll see more poorly-written rants about how gay Interplay is. *SIGH*

For fuck's sake. Look at the graphics. It's so obvious that this is a low budget title, farmed out to some dimwits in the middle of nowhere.
Now why would they permanently screw over the Fallout franchise like this? I'll tell you why - the only reason they'd do it is if they don't give a flying fuck about the franchise. Not one single airborne intercourse.

Excuse me if I ramble, I had to take two large drinks to cope with this. This is the worst rpg news of the year.

Digital Morons (Mayhem) in a nutshell.

Because Interplay is already fucked, that's why.

Also, my .sig has been changed to reflect this.

Interplay: Anything for a buck. Okay, how about fifty cents? No? A dime, maybe? Not even a penny? Please?

I'm still wondering why I should care about Fallout being whored out again.
