    Did that quote actually originate in the games or did they just use it? Is was always under the impression that quote originated a long time ago.

    Into to every game. You would get a clip where first words would always be - "War. War never changes".

    Cannot wait for Fallout 4. I just hope they aren't also developing it on the PS3 and X360.

    Giving them away through GoG is Interplay's way of showing Bethesda the middle finger after this: Press Release: Fallout MMO Rights Restored to Bethesda Softworks in Interplay Litigation | Bethesda Blog

    Fallout MMO? Not yet another MMO... :mad:

    If I want to play in a post-apocalyptic setting online then I'll wait for Survarium to be complete... made by the same developers of the STALKER games.

    We are probably talking 2015 at least so I would imagine PS4 is the lead platform.
