It appears that Fallout Fantasy is the name that F3 is going to be under, probably to some of your dismay. However, fear not; from what I found while researching the game, it will not be a fantasy-based Fallout like the name implies. Rather, the idea for the game is to take the engine used in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and place Fallout Fantasy onto it.

Also, from what I was able to find out, Fallout Fantasy (or F3) will be released on PC. Original speculation listed the game as being for a consule such as PS2 or X-Box, which still is going to hold true, but a PC version will also be released.

I hope I'm not getting any facts confused with hype on this, especially since they seem to run hand-in-hand on the matter.

Earl Tarjir: okay, so I open my issue of the Norwegian PCG, and I see that they review a re-release of Fallout 1...
Does the Norwegian PCG know something we don't?

"Med det tredje spillet foreløpig tidlig i utviklingsstadiet (hvis vi glemmer det glansløse Fallout: Tactics), er prisen et sant kupp, som gir spillere en mulighet til å more seg over den aller første utgaven av serien nok en gang."

"With the third game still early in the development stage (if we forget about the glanceless Fallout: Tactics), the price is a true coup, which gives players a possibility to enjoy the very først release in the series yet another time."

Kotario:Hah, don't believe it for a minute.

There are still people who think that "Fallout Fantasy" is the codename for the third Fallout game, I am betting the reporter who wrote this falls into this category. Delusional fools!

Besides, if information was to leak from Interplay, I would doubt it would be to the Norwegian PCG.

I hope this means something or I just copyed and pasted aload of crap

From ugo.com:
Final Fallout Fantasy?
Thankfully, from what we can tell, Fallout Fantasy is not a fantasy-themed Fallout game. That would be stupid; though calling a game Fallout Fantasy is equally lame, the game concept is not. Supposedly, the idea is to take the Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance engine and transfer Fallout into it. Dark Alliance was an awesome game, so it could work, but we’d rather have Fallout 3.

From http://pc.ign.com/articles/357/357175p1.html:
April 11, 2002 - We all knew that it was coming, we just didn't know what it was or when it was coming or who was making it or why they were making it or what the hell Steve was doing with that light up gnome lamp in the demo room... but it looks as though the cat is out of the bag thanks to those noisy Frenchmen. The third installment of Fallout is going by the title of Fallout Fantasy. How do we know this? French gaming site Overgame.com received Virgin Interactive's European release schedule in the mail. Interplay's games are distributed by Virgin Interactive. Fallout was developed by Interplay's RPG in house RPG development now known as Black Isle Studios. On the release list was a nifty little title coming from Interplay and Black Isle Studios known as Fallout Fantasy. There you have it.

Sure, we know most of you won't be able to understand the website since it's in French so we've run it through our own translator developed in house here at IGN by intern extraordinaire Mark Fugita:

One thing in edit a fat son apparition through the planning of the sort of Virgin Interactive is Fallout Fantasy. The thing is announced for September of 2002, and is developed by Black Isle, a division of role playing fantasies of Interplay. Virgin Interactive did not pass (I don't know this word) airport plus the information through the thing.

That's all cool because the secret stuff is new Fallout cool and developer of Black Isle, Dave Hendee, (something) of concepts of juice, I await tommorrow day the forum to discuss the site of official Fallout 2. "Fallout 3 is in development may with it through the official thing. Now coupons will parlay" the guy said.

The thing of the new Fallout put through contrary now resigned to type of gameplay was proposed. The end Fantasy faints forced immediately pending the saga of Final Fantasy. It is not possible for the juice of mélange to juice of roleplaying and to the strategies and temporary real. The serendipity justified the fusion of the two types to juice who the saga to fallout now does propose: the juice of the roleplaying was Fallout 1 and 2, and to the strategy/tactics was Fallout Tactics.

The thing divorced that presented with hair to E3 who the time at Los Angeles from 22 and 24 of May.

The gist of that pretty much means that Mark is fired. Hopefully we'll get to see it at E3 since we can all understand that part of it. Look for more at that time if we're all lucky.

An unpublished/new title has made its apparition on Virgin's release plan: Fallout Fantasy. The title's announced for September 2002(hehe), it's developped by Black Isle, Interplay's rpg division. Virgin Interactive didn't wish to bring more info on the title.

It wasn't a secret that un new Fallout game was in the making at Black Isle; Dave Hendee, one of the designers, announced it in the fallout 2 official forum. "Fallout 3 is in developpement, but it's not an official title. We can't talk about it."

/usual french speculations ahead
the title can tell us about the type of gameplay proposed tho. The Fantasy suffix obviously makes you think about the FF series. It is therefore possible that the game mixes rpg elements, with real time strategy(hahaha). It would be a fusion of the previous Fallout games.

hehehe, septeber 2002 lol. Last time I laughed(in my traduction) is because rpg/rts idea makes me laugh, but now that I think of it, maybe it'll bring a fresh wind?... i don't know... meh
