Black Isle Studios is back (?)

"Problem, Codex?"

 

[racofer]

IT'S COMING!!!

 

[Malpercio]

What does that even means.

I mean Infinitron pic.

 

[Shadenuat]

It that's a trolling, then a really dark and twisted one. I will cry if it is. Like a girl. With a bucket of icecream in a bathroom and shit or how do kwans do it.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Yes, but i mean, who gives a flying fuck about Dark Alliance...

It's Herve, man. He probably still thinks that FO: POS was a good idea.

So... what, Interplay are bringing back Black Isle? For what purpose? Everyone has moved on. The franchises are dead. The brand is meaningless. Nobody who is old enough to have any nostalgia for Black Isle will be fooled by this, and the kids whose first Fallout game was Fallout 3 won't even understand what Black Isle is to begin with.

This is... dirty. Dirtier than all FPS reboots put together. What right do these people have to call themselves Black Isle?

See this thread for some counter-evidence.

What I'm curious about is what IP's are they still in posession of? Fallout is with Zenimax and D&D is with Hasbro. Am I missing something here?

Would be funny if Bethpizda outsourced the next Fallout installment to Black Isle as a marketing ploy. You know, Fallout 4, made by the same team who did the original title in the award winning Fallout series

EA destroys studios by closing them.
Interplay destroys studios by re-opening them.

Which is worse and why?

 

[MaroonSkein]

Is it just me, or is TNO looking at the elf's breasts?

EDIT:

Interplay has already destroyed the studio. What they are doing here is exhuming the corpse, dressing it up in a sexy outfit and preparing the lube.

What the fuck? This is DeviantArt level fanwork.

 

[mondblut]

In before Herve announces Baldur's Gate Online to leech another million in an out of court settlement from Atari or whoever.

 

[913]

Sword coast online for facebook rpg? I doubt they have big money for anything major.

Nope, he has the same expression as on the game's box. He looks to the left (of the image).
Actually it looks like they just painted over the box image.

 

[SuicideBunny]

i'd be like "what the fuck is this shit" 'cept provoking a reaction is what herve wants and i stopped caring years ago.

 

[J_C]

At first I was like: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!

But then I realized that it is just a name. Black Isle is is not the same without the old crew. And the important figures are not there, and won't be there. They are at Obsidian. Because that Black Isle, was made of Obsidian.
