Game News NMA celebrates Fallout 10th anniversary

I have a hunch he's working at Team 3 on the unannounced project, but 's just a hunch.

Wasn't there a Nuka-Cola ad in one of the StarCraft 2 screenshots? Maybe that's Leon's work .

He's not working on SC2.

If it hasn't been, I can confirm it: he's at Blizzard. Or he was a few weeks ago when he sent me those concept arts

Hey, do we like kinda sorta (really actually) know what the unannounced project is? I don't follow Blizzard news, but if Boyarsky is working on, say, Diablo 3, I would totally check that out.

I dunno. AFAIK, it's unknown what the unannounced project is. Space of Starcraft or Diablo 3 seem likely candidates.

"I'm going to repeat myself and say I should be made admin of GD. . You will lose a spamgirl "

I would think that would call for whatever form of asshatting RPGCodex has....IF it does.

I don't know, but the way I see it, I'd bet my eyes they are doing a new IP... But I won't, as I know better than to trust my own feelings xD

I hope it's a new IP.

Anyway, NMA had the rare opportunity to interview JD Anderson:

I have a few favorite memories. I think one of the best is when we came to the conclusion that the player was going to have to get kicked out of the vault at the end of the game. Leon and I shared an office and he was struggling to think up an end movie for the game. Originally, it was going to be a celebration... You are the returning hero of the vault in classic rpg fashion. This was decided on early in the game's design. And while we sat there wracking our brains trying to figure out how to make the movie work, it dawned on us that the whole idea of this celebration sounded kind of ordinary and lame.

Leon made the comment that, through the whole game, the vault dwellers are completely xenophobic... I mean, why would they even *let *you in? And I responded, well, then we should just have the movie being them kicking you out.

It was so funny. Over and over again we said we can't do that! But we absolutely loved the idea - it was just so cool! So we went to tell Tim. Tim wasn't sure of the idea. He thought it would flop with the fans, nothing like that had ever been done. But he finally gave in (we could be pains in the asses when we wanted something our way.) That movie is one of my favorite parts of the whole game - the returning hero getting kicked out. Absolutely perfect!

Always reminded me of the ending of Mad Max, where he get suckered into doing the altruistic thing for the "good guys", only to find out later he's being used.
