As it continues the legal battle with Bethesda over rights to produce a Fallout-based MMO, Interplay has decided to appeal to fans of the series for support. Apparently the legal battle required that some of Interplay’s concept art be made public, so the company posted the material to its forums for a little feedback (and a bit of Bethesda bashing).

As Interplay’s Chris Taylor said, “Some of the concept art for the game has been released due to the lawsuit. This forum will be a place where we can post high quality versions of the same art and you can give us some feedback on it at the same time.”

It’s a strange appeal to make, especially since that feedback won’t really matter if Interplay loses. To be honest, I don’t know who I’d rather have take the project. Bethesda did some great work with Fallout 3 but I’m willing to trust Interplay with the material. Regardless, it’s going to be quite a while before we see a final product, so the concept art will have to hold you over for now. You have to be a forum member at Interplay to view the images, but Kotaku’s got its own gallery up as well.
