Je viens de lire ça, presque un mois après la news D:

Citation :
C’est au hasard de nos rencontres sur le Net que l’un de nos lecteurs nous a fait parvenir un document qui ressemble à s’y méprendre à une fuite des studios de développement Interplay.
[...]
Reste la date de sortie de ce qui pourrait sauver Interplay des flammes de l’enfer nucléaire. Cette dernière serait, toujours selon le même document, fixée au mois de juillet 2010… Ouaite inde si.

Il s'agit, a priori, d'une fuite d'Interplay qui nous indique que le projet a été débuté en janvier 2007 et doit être finaliser pour juillet 2010.
Pour la déconne, le rapport d'activité d'Interplay pour le 2ème trimestre 2008 (la meilleure partie, celle qui fait rire) :

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $3.0
million, and our cash balance was approximately $22,000. We cannot continue to
fund our current operations without obtaining additional financing or income.

We have sold "Fallout" to a third party and have obtained the License Back
to allow us to create, develop and exploit "Fallout" MMOG. We are planning to
exploit the License Back of "Fallout" MMOG and are reviewing the avenues for
securing financing of at least $30 million to fund its production.

We are now focused on a two-pronged growth strategy. While we are working
to secure funding for the development of a MMOG based on the popular "Fallout"
franchise, we are at the same time exploring ways to leverage our portfolio of
gaming properties through sequels and various development and publishing
arrangements. We are planning, to develop sequels to some of the most successful
games, including Earthworm Jim, Dark Alliance, Descent and MDK. We have
reinitiated our in-house game development studio, and have hired game
developers. Initial funding for these steps will mainly derive from license
arrangements or other financing that we may enter into.

We have entered into a Game Production Agreement with Interactive Game
Group which provides for the financing of the development of games under certain
conditions.

We continue to seek external sources of funding, including but not limited
to, private and public securities offerings, incurring debt, the selling of
assets , licensing of certain product rights in selected territories, selected
distribution agreements, and/or other strategic transactions sufficient to
provide short-term funding, and achieve our long-term strategic objectives.

Historically, we have funded our operations primarily from the sale of, or
royalties generated by licensing of, our intellectual property rights and
distribution fee advances of our products.

Our operating activities used cash of $1.1 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2008. We expect in the remainder of 2008 to enter into license
arrangements and to seek funding for the development of games.

No assurance can be given that funding can be obtained by us on acceptable
terms, or at all. These conditions, combined with our deficits in stockholders'
equity and working capital, raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
Wait and lol
Une update, parce que c'est drôle.

Citation :
The company also announced that Chris Taylor, a game designer who was a part of the original Fallout game development team at Interplay in 1994, has rejoined the company. Taylor will serve as Lead System Designer for “Project V13,” the working title of Interplay’s next generation Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMO) currently in development. Taylor joins other original Fallout team members on staff at Interplay’s internal game studio, which recently opened an office in Irvine, Calif. Additional development staff members continue to be hired as the project ramps-up.
Je crois qu'ils n'ont toujours pas le financement pour le projet.

LOL
