No More Than Words: Fallout Extreme

It appears the word "EXTREME" is the thread in my linkposts today. ANYWAY! Paweł Dembowski dropped us a line, noting that details on another canceled Fallout game have come to light. If the sources are correct, it was only in development for a few months by 14 Degrees East in 2000, and appears to be a Hidden & Dangerous-inspired tactical shooter. As in, four men, free switching between them and all that. Also, aimed for the original XBox, but since it's only of historical note worth mentioning on this most PC of blogs. There's some story details here and some mechanic-based stuff in the sidebar here (UPDATE: And some more here). This sort of stuff happens in developers all the time - a couple of months, then killed. I'd love to see a mass list of The Games That Could Have Been from our favourite developers.

Dave Tosser says: It's very important for every major brand to increase its equity via such approaches, by leveraging their reputation into new, profitable avenues. We should all accept and applaud their corporate vision.
