Bethesda talks about their games ...Fallout included |
Ó
In a quick Q&A with Gamasutra, Bethesda's vice president of PR and marketing Pete Hines gave something very similar to a progress report regarding several Bethesda titles. He talked about Oblivion, Shivering Isles, and Star Trek, but what caught our eye is his little quip about the resurrection of their classic Fallout franchise. Let's save that quip for last though. Here's what he had to say about Bethesda's other games.Regarding the Shivering Isles' and its X360 future - Hines says that because the Xbox 360 does not allow stand-alone expansions to work with another existing product, their only real option was to distribute the game via download. He adds that though they wanted to have a version for the retail market, the console just simply cannot do that yet. He says that they've been told that it would take a lot of extra work from the folks at Microsoft to get that option available.
Pricing and add-ons - When it comes to the pricing, Hines says that they're working closely with Microsoft as they are concerned about hitting a reasonable price. As for additional content, he says that he's not sure if they will ever release downloadable content specific to Shivering Isles.
Their Star Trek games - Hines says that Bethesda, while aware that the Star Trek games may not be 'Game of the Year Award' candidates, is pleased to see that Star Trek: Tactical Assault for the DS and PSP, and Star Trek: Legacy for the Xbox 360 and the PC are doing well.
On to Fallout - When asked about the resurrection of the post-apocalyptic Fallout franchise, Hines had this to say:
We are a fairly good ways into the process. The team has ramped up, and
it will be a little while longer. As is the case with all of our games,
especially those of this scope, we don't really want to talk about them
until they are in a state where we can show you, rather than having you
simply picturing it in your minds eye.
...Fallout is not a quick two year process, and we are already several years into the project.
Several years huh? Please don't make us wait several more years.
