I'm back, baby!

 

[ExposedBrainMatter]

Zombie Interplay will be like Zombie Simpsons. Not even Sneed can save it.

 

[Space Satan]

I hope it won't be mobile battle chess or dark alliance for steamdeck

 

[Space Satan]

But...

 

[Infinitron]

I'm back, baby!

If this really is a new Interplay and not just bullshit hype, I would not be surprised if Herve is finally out of the picture. Maybe they finally found a buyer for those IPs.

Stonekeep 2 or gtfo.

I'm back, baby!

We are saved!

Bought by Microsoft (Obsidian) therefore Irvine, CA :D

(Not really - but maybe bought with Microsoft's millions by Feargus and friends? Also doubtful - the teaser is pretty lame.)



Herve the business man:

Oh boy! I am sure this means that quality games in the same spirit as the old Interplay are totally forthcoming any day now.

 

[Infinitron]

Mark O'Green, possibly?

 

[vonAchdorf]

Mark O'Green, possibly?

What does his LinkedIn say? If it's him, isn't it the same old Herve shtick?

 

[Don Peste]

New Twitter account, when they already had one, and location changed from LA (also Herve's location) to Irvine...
Yup, it could mean they sold it...

nothing new about an old scam

 

[Morpheus Kitami]

New Interplay? Wasn't Interplay still around? I mean, they hadn't done anything in 15+ years, but they still existed. I'm not hopeful though, Nothing good comes out of California these days.

The other accounts the Interplay twitter is following are just bizarre, very bot-like behavior with no rhyme or reason.

 

[Malamert]

Oh boy, a bunch of washed up old hacks are going to peddle obvious scams to nostalgia goggles wearing autistic retards. Can't wait!

 

[Sinatar]

Oh boy, a bunch of washed up old hacks are going to peddle obvious scams to nostalgia goggles wearing autistic retards. Can't wait!

They don't even own their most valuable IP's anymore so they don't have much nostalgia to peddle.

Rape never ends.

 

[Mud']

Oh boy, cant wait for that Fallout Online game

The other accounts the Interplay twitter is following are just bizarre, very bot-like behavior with no rhyme or reason.

Even more bizarre thing is their Linkedin listings of "employees"

• "Draughtsperson (draughtsman/woman) at Interplay Entertainment Corp. -- Detroit Metropolitan Area"
• "Educational methods specialist at Interplay Entertainment Corp. --New York City Metropolitan Area"
• "Plant specialist - botanist - botanist martin hutten, who is the manager of yosemite national park's at Interplay Entertainment Corp. -- Silver City, NV"
• "Driller at Interplay Entertainment Corp. --New York City Metropolitan Area"
• "Research chef - research chefs create new foods for restaurant chains, coffee shops, and food manuf at Interplay Entertainment -- Brooklyn, NY"
• "Prefab construction worker at Interplay Entertainment Corp. -- Bakersfield, CA"
• "Information assistant/officer in rail transport at Interplay Entertainment Corp. -- New York City Metropolitan Area"

And most of the listings are like this, track engineer, stuntman from Atlanta, custom officer, welding operator... If you somehow access the profiles there are actually nothing really, as if the account are automatically generated. Job titles are seemingly extracted from other actual accounts.

There are a few profiles seem legit, including Eric Caen, the new owner above, and some producer/director/writer on animation industry named Michel K Parandi.

Please don't.
