Interplay - The Fallout Extreme Story

Ausir writes in with some information on a long-canceled Interplay development that never quite got off the ground, called Fallout Extreme. The article has some introductory details and then more on the story:

You probably don't know what Fallout Extreme was. Don't worry - even most of the ex-Black Isle developers I asked about it didn't even know that this game existed (which can tell you a lot about the lack of cooperation between Interplay's divisions at that time).

Fallout Extreme was a canceled squad-based first- and third-person tactical game for the Xbox, using the Unreal Engine and developed by Interplay's 14 Degrees East division (co-developers of Fallout Tactics). It was in development for a several months in 2000, but didn't really have a concrete development team and never made it out of concept. After it was canceled, Interplay's next attempt at making a console version of Fallout was Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, this time for both the Xbox and PS2.

More information.

I've also just posted gameplay details:

So they canceled this and made Brotherhood of Steel instead?

Not that it sounds very appealing, but BoS sure didn't seem any better.

Hey they also cancelled the original F3 to release BoS!! That should tell you something!!!!
