Details on canceled Fallout Extreme emerge from vault photo

Hey, what's this Fallout Extreme business? An "xtreme" sports title featuring your favorite vault dwellers and mutants? Nah, it's a canceled first- and third-person tactical title that was in development for the Xbox in 2000!

While the title never made it beyond concept, Fallout Extreme had players controlling a squad of revolutionaries known as "The Cause." Players would work their way north -- Oregon, Washington, then Canada -- earning loyalty as each area was reclaimed. 

You can check out more details on the ill-fated Fallout Extreme over at The Vault, and rest assured there isn't a snowboard or pair of rollerblades in sight. For alleged details on the gameplay itself, you can check out the goods at Polygamia

Destined for failure.

Extreme is not cool.
Xtreme is how to sell computer games.

No wonder this got canned.

You don't have to run it through a translator - the English version is in the box to the right.

Sounds like they were trying to move the concept of Fallout:Tactics to the console with adapting first person mechanics. This would have been terrible.
