Sorry for the useless post but I had to comment.

ON TOPIC, that was a see-through attempt, but cruel nonetheless

Its kind of hard to believe considering its not a franchise owned by someone else. I mean, from the article it sounds like the contract was completed without being rushed and the purchaser wasn't disappointed about features in it that weren't missing.

There are a couple of silly titles out there. Final Fantasy VI being Final Fantasy III on SNES, Final Fantasy IV being Final Fantasy II on SNES, Seiken Densetsu 3 = Secret of Mana 2, and what about the Street Fighter II craze? Then there's the stupid renaming fans do, like Lands of Lore = Eye of the Beholder 3.

It would've been nice (I just read it today), but two things popped out at me:
1. Bethesda sold a crapload of FO3 games

2. Given (1) there is no way that Obsidian could've raised the cash to buy FO and still live on to develop something

Too bad it was an early April Fool's day joke though… almost forgot about that on Thursday…

Nothing beats /.'s OMG! Ponies! though...
