Interview with JE Sawyer @ NMA
   

No Mutants Allowed has <a href="http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=10573#10573" target="_blank">interviewed</a> JE Sawyer, Lead Designer at Black Isle Studios on their unannounced Van Buren project (which is likely to be Fallout 3). In part 1, they discuss the engine and a little about the setting: <br><blockquote><em><b>Its no secret Van Buren will be a hybrid between Turn Based and Real Time, can you clarify for all the thousands of Black Isle Studio fans reading this, the reason for making it a hybrid as opposed to one or the other?</b> <br> <br>TB is a niche that most publishers are unwilling to mine with what is supposed to be a "Triple A" title. Publishers generally cannot be convinced that it will sell well enough to justify the money put towards the project. <br>Publishers almost always want RT in games. If a developer tells them, "Well, we can only do one or the other," RT is the option they will pick. Given the choice between having a RT and TB component at 80-90% of their potential or RT at 100% without any TB component, we'd rather have the former.</em></blockquote>

That's insane. I'll take TB over RT anyday. I think most other people would as well.

They had a poll up at Interplay about that and TB won with over 90% of people voting for and that was several thousands players voting.
