Interplay basically dug out a corpse.. it's like the article says, nobody from old Black Isle is probably even in there. Interplay just decided to use the name again in an effort not-to-die for another day.

Besides, beth's fallout is superior, unless you like the horrible dated gameplay of fallout 1 and 2. Don't get me wrong, I love fallout 1 and 2, but they're nothing compared to 3 when it comes to actual gameplay.

At this point, all retro fallout fans just come out as asses who are mad that Van Buren never came out.

In a sense Van Buren came out since old Black Isle workers who joined Bethesda made sure the location was put into Fallout: New Vegas and other stuff that I can't recall.

Considering that none of the original Black Isle Studios people are there, Fallout is best to stick with Obsidian who actually have members who worked on the original Fallouts.

I wonder if the developers will make any good games.

Its hard to tell, this could all just be brand recognition bullshit.

Considering most black isle originals went over to bethesda and made Obsidian I doubt any originals will be going back to interplay so it'll probably just be new people who like article says will have some very big shoes to fill.

Not to mention Black Isle fans pretty much already had their prayers answered with InXile and Wasteland 2, what's the point.

I wish the true Black Isle Studios was coming back. How many years now have we been waiting on the third installment of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance?

For real. Those games were my favorites on the PS2 and it sucked that they ended the series on a fucking cliffhanger and then went out.

Actually we've already had it for a while. It's called Obsidian.

I'm more surprised that Interplay still exists. I thought they only had like 10 employees. Last I checked, their only source of income was them licencing their IPs to other developers.

I was personally hoping they would finish up Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance with a 3rd game only to realize it never happen, if it's true that Black Isle is back, I'm hoping for a possibility that such is a allowed to take place.

If anything else that should be done I also think they should re-release Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, it's sequel and the 3rd game for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
