Game News Black Isle's Mayan Apocalypse Replacement Program (what is this I don't even)

[Bulba]

I just pledged 1000$ because I believe in this project.

ONE QUAZILLION DOLLARZ can't beat that, eh?

 

[Scruffy]

i am raging so hard that i need to stop coming in this thread, screw you, people.

If anyone wants to donate in this joke, donate here instead

This got me thinking. What if I set up a stupid campaing (like this Save Interplay) with a nonsensible goal? I can get a few hundred dollars, because there are so many stupid people.

"save the whales"
for every 100$ pitched you get some whale oil

i can guarantee you that someone would pay
shit sometimes i really feel like trying to do something like this, just to see if anyone really falls for it...

The thing that saddens me the most is involvement of Ch.Taylor. I don't care about O'Green or that bald guy, but man, Chris Taylor ffs...With that pitch video and every day of connection with Herve & Interplay Zombie, he lose more and more credibility, to the point where no one will take him seriously and hire to more prestigious company. Such waste of talent and fallout legacy, truly a sad state of affairs.

Let's start a crowdfunder to save Chris Taylor.

 

[Jaesun]

I think it is too late to save him. He must have sold his soul to Herve.

 

[MurkyShadow]

I showed this news to my physician and got a doubling on my migraine medication.
These things happen when your wishes are accidentally addressed to Satan instead of Santa.
Or, well, Santa has just had enough.

[Humanity has risen!]

I wonder if the Caens know about all the memes and photoshops here and just how much they are loved.

 

[Snerf]

Reward tiers need Herve body pillow complete with ultra-plush detachable mustaches. In fact, they'd do better if they straight up copy/pasted Barkley 2s KS.

 

[Monty]

Yes, gotta love that fake nose and moustache disguise set he's wearing. I'd buy one of those.

 

[Menckenstein]

He probably washes his mustache with the tears of Fargo, Feargus, Sawyer and Avellone every evening while wiping his ass with the pages of Fallout manuals.

omg you guys they posted an update you guys!!!!

Update #1

Not all of our updates will be of a serious nature. But this one is. The difference should be obvious, but
in this case, we wanted to make certain people understood.

This is a real effort at creating a game. We wanted to be playful in our approach. We're making games
and that should be fun, both for us and for the fans involved. Game creation shouldn't revolve around
negativity.

We also want fan involvement. Positive involvement. That's important to us, to the project. We want
the final game to be something different, something entertaining. We want feedback on the game ideas.

We're combining the call for fan involvement with a funding request. There's no illusion here that we're
going to build more than a prototype with this level of funding. The final game will require more. But
this initial funding method does two things. For one, it gives us an idea of who's actually interested
in a new post apocalyptic game - noted by their donation. This method, creating a private forum for
those truly interested, also allows us to focus on those people. To hear their voices as opposed to the
naysayers.

We understand there's negative PR involved because of the past. People are free to make any
comments they want. But that doesn't help make something new. Those that aren't interested in a new
game can sit on the sidelines and gripe. That's their right. We get it. The Internet fosters that behavior.
Not a judgment call, just an observation.

We want to spend our time making a good game and want everyone involved to have fun doing it.
That's what gaming is all about.

I don't know about you but now I'm totally convinced

:baby:

 

[tuluse]

God dammit why do I read ign comments.

I have to agree. New Vegas added some good bells and whistles like melee kills on vats, but the game itself always felt a bit empty and boring. Fallout 3 had a better story and was more interesting to explore

No bro 3 is better than new vegas 3 has a better story and is in a better location new vegas is just a desert and cave's and a hand full of buildings graphic's and gameplay is the same heck even bugs are the same

I don't see how you guys can possibly argue over which is better without anyone mentioning that Liam Neeson was in 3.

"This forum is for positive and friendly discussion of scam project"
Reading update, I heard whipping and felt the tears of the writer.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

I feel so violated.

 

[Zed]

We understand there's negative PR involved because of the past.

But -- Do they really?
All the positive comments so far has been from people with Interplay connections.

 

[marooned]

haha, funny how their first "update" it's actually a clarification/excuse against their own boogeyman.

‎-- Update #2 -- Why you shouldn’t donate.

Something you should think about before donating or telling your friends to donate. You might be the cause of a small number of people sitting in their cramped, dark f****** shelter depressed because they’re not sitting in their cramped, dark f****** for real because the world didn’t really end.

Got that? Some people won’t be happy you’re helping.

So, if you have no compassion for those apocaleptics who want it all to come down around our ears (but not theirs), then you probably shouldn’t put in a contribution. But if those people, sitting in their ivory dungeons, annoy the hell out of you with their barrels of water, stacks of freeze dried, and smug attitudes, then maybe you should just empty the bank account on this project. Just to spite them.

Create some apoplectic apocaleptics. (Yeah, try saying it out loud.)

Black Isle update 2 on FB: "maybe you should just empty the bank account on this project. Just to spite them. " Embarrassing...

@yonbeastie I would have thought it was hacked but I see updates on their website and Facebook.

 

[marooned]
