GC: And just finally, what was this rumour about Fallout: New Orleans? I saw a logo just before I came out here, but didn’t see any official comment on it.
PH: We don’t comment on trademarks and rumours.
GC: Oh, so it might be real?
PH: It’s just whenever anyone asks about trademarks we don’t ever say, ‘Yes, that’s us’ or ‘No, it’s not’. Whether it’s real or it’s not real.
GC: Ah, it’s not real though is it? I can tell from some of the pixels and having seen a few shops in my time… or whatever that meme is.
PH: [laughs]
GC: But would you consider working with external developers again on a new Fallout or other established franchise?
PH: Well, we’re working with an external developer on Quake. That’s a pretty big, important franchise for us.
GC: But New Vegas was something different, the dev must have had quite close access to your own internal studios and tech. Would you ever do something like that again? Because I think that everyone felt that New Vegas turned out pretty well.
PH: I don’t know; we’ll have to see. [slight grin]
