It’s from the same director as the Westworld series

[JeeperCreeper]

As a fallout fan, I hope it's more like fallout 3 than 4 😀 and nothing like 76

[Cdn_Cuda]

Give me Fallout 2 or go home.

[Jonnydread]

That’s a weird way to spell New Vegas

Yeah same

Speaking of nuclear post-apocalyptic dystopian franchises. The trailer for the new Mad Max movie
is also out:

if you haven’t seen Mad Max Fury Road (2015) it’s a must see.

Fallout looks so fun. As a fan who has played almost everything except tactics and 76 ( I plan to play tactics, maybe I’ll try 76 someday) i generally enjoy what all the developers have given me even if I have my preferences. This looks really fun and I look forward to watching it with my daughters. They’ve been watching me play since they were toddlers, sitting on my lap while I played 1&2. My two oldest are die hard F4 fans and it will be really fun to share this with them. Here’s hoping it’s a good time!

[Chappy]

JeeperCreeper really wish Bethesda let us kill essential characters again… at least in survival mode.

[JeeperCreeper]

Chappy I wish there were consequences for decisions like older Fallout titles. I've been doing a lot of the settlement building this time around.

[cellophane]

JeeperCreeper one thing that has always bugged me about Bethesda games is that you can join and master everything. Not quite as relevant for Fallout as TES, but if I join the Fighters Guild and the Mages Guild, I shouldn't be able to become the head of each organization. The consequence of progressing one over the other is not being able to 100% both. Plus 200 years after the bombs drop there should be a lot more greenery. I wonder if there is a YT video discussing that. Research time!

[warbosschoppa]

I don't know, they can't even get the games right anymore since FO4.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Oh I can’t wait for this and the new Mad Max.

I really hope they give people the movie they want, and not the movie Hollywood thinks they should want.

To be fair, Fallout 76 was hot garbage at launch. I stopped playing very shortly after launch but the unfinished achievements/trophies bothered me having gotten %100 on 3, NV, and 4. I came back to it like 2 years later and it was a totally different game. I don't however have any intentions of replaying after I completed it. It was much better but still not great, worth giving it a try though.

The show looks good enough for the wife and I to watch. It visually looks right for the fallout world.

My first Fallout game was Brotherhood of Steel, now that was some hot garbage.

apparently fallout 76 has been fixed and is a good game. I wouldn't know though because I didn't come back to play it after launch.

[JeeperCreeper]

Same, I played it, didn't like it, deleted the files and haven't been back since.

[Chappy]

One thing I can say about all fallout games is that due to hardware constraints, I’ve never been able to play a single fallout game at launch. So every experience I have had with a game is at least somewhat patched. I didn’t play F4 until survival mode was a thing and I’ve never played without it on. I played FNV on 360 and Xbone and never had the myriad of crashed everyone talks about. So my rose colored glasses are not tinted by the launch troubles lol.

[SuperAtomic]

I'm hesitantly excited. I've been a Fallout fan since I bought the original in a PC store in 1997. It came with an awesome in-universe manual like all games did back then. The back two pages were a recipe for a mashmallow dessert called "mushroom clouds" and a jokey ad for a Vault-Tec item called the Garden of Eden Creation Kit. The box also proudly advertised "Over 50 Mini-Quests!"

The original Fallout is still my favorite of all the games, followed by 2 and then New Vegas. I hope the show lives up to the IP.

[Jonnydread]

I tried to play 1&2, but I think because I started on the Bethesda variants then worked backwards I had a hard time getting into them. I think New Vegas is one of my favorite games of all time though.

[Chappy]

I didn’t have a computer when it came out but I was enthralled with the box art and concept. When I heard Bethesda bought them out I picked them up and played the heck out of them. When 3 and then New Vegas released I didn’t have a 360 so I played them all again. They are certainly flawed but still too 5 role playing experiences. I can see why it’s tough to get into but I played Wasteland and still do. Old crpgs are my jam.

[Tarsun2]

hopefully its more like like Arcane and less like Doom.

[the_matrix_guy]

It’s actually good. Probably the best video game adaptation to date.

[Daniel Tiger]

Walter goggins can do no wrong. Baby Billy Bible bonkers

[martix_agent]

It's really really good.

[chops]

Enjoyed it quite a bit. One of the extras in the last episode was wearing a painted Proflex X which was pretty funny to see.

[VintageZoomer]

The first episode was a bit of a dud for me, but the rest was brilliant. The writers understand the OG fallout creators' vision of a post-post-apocalypse. We haven't seen an entry in the franchise since New Vegas that truly embraces this concept. I like fallout 3, but 4 (and even 3) is firmly stuck in a time period and reality of right after the bombs dropped, and humanity somehow never moved past that in 200 years.
