George Lucas Wanted to Include Fallout Devs in LucasArts
Less than two years before the release of the first Fallout, George Lucas convinced Brian Fargo that Interplay Productions should go under the wings of LucasArts. Who knows what the video game industry would look like today if such a transaction were to take place.
Current head of inXile Entertainment, Brian Fargo Stonekeep, is the comment by Brian Fargo. This is because he itted that at that time Lucas was aiming for Interplay Productions to become part of LucasArts, and himself to become the leader of the new company. But as we know, such a deal never came to .
It is worth noting that in 1995, Interplay Productions (later renamed Interplay Entertainment) has not yet managed to find its place in the annals of video game history. The letter was sent almost two years before the release of the first Day of the Tentacle and several Star Wars games, apparently already predicted that Brian Fargo's crew was capable of great things.
At the moment, it's hard to say what would happen if LucasArts and Interplay Entertainment actually merged. We would probably have played games completely different than we have seen in the last twenty-five years. Who knows, maybe Brian Fargo's team would be tempted to create an "isometric" RPG set in the universe of Star Wars?
