Hopefully it’ll end up better than the Halo TV series. That wasn’t terribly good at all.

Well.... that looks.... good! I'm shocked. Pleasantly so.

Vertibirds. Check
Power Armour. Check
Walton Goggins as a cowboy ghoul. Check check.

I'm a big fan of Walton Goggins, so I'm fully prepared to watch this on his presence alone.

Ghoul looks surprisingly unmanky. Maybe that’s something to come in post?

I'm also really pleased to see they haven't "serious'd" up the pipboy screen. The goofy 50's era cartoon style is an essential counterpoint to the sheer shittiness of the Fallout universe.

Fallout 4 non-ferals have a bit more depth and tan, but texture and overall looks line up, I'd say. Not sure if it will get touched up. Not sure it needs it either. It may be for the best if the zombie doesn't look to close to 2015 video game graphics.

Guess it also depends when it’s set. If it’s not that long after the bombs dropped, then Ghouls would, I’d imagine, be less manky.

Hard to say. Based on the older games, full Brotherhood complete with airship puts it pretty far along the Fallout timeline (though not to the end of F4).

But 76 retconned a lot more than I thought, so it could be the next tuesday based on that timeline.

Efficiency is the highest virtue.

Still looks obviously Ghoul, so I’m probably being overly critical.

Eh. I assume there are post effects, because honestly it does look like an underwhelming Rubber Mask Guy.

Never played Halo but enjoyed the first season so hopefully Fallout will be fun too for someone who only knows that Modiphius made a board game and RPG of it.

Eh. Disappointed by the vibe of gore for the sake of gore.

It also almost looks authentic in a way that doesn't actually translate from game to show. Stuff that when done 1-1 just looks goofy in a more live-action environment.

Just to clarify….

“Fallout 4 takes place in the year 2287, ten years after the events of Fallout 3 and 210 years after the Great War, a war between the United States and China over natural resources that ended in a nuclear holocaust in 2077.”

So 9 years after the events of Fallout 4 in Boston. A lot could happen in 9 years.

Oxhorn (a popular Fallout streamer) on YouTube brought up some interesting concerns of his regarding the show from what the Vanity Fair article stated. I think he is a bit off base on some of his points but it is odd that the NCR are not mentioned. Hopefully the story does not compress the Brotherhood of Steel with the NCR to just make a typical authoritarian villain faction trope.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY6Bqt_Qsoc

The real question is, how will the Amazon show measure up to the classic Nuka Break shows….

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcgxXnEVVyM



I think Oxhorn might be on to something, unfortunately. I imagine that the producers want to fit all the obvious fallout pieces into one show, even if it means cutting pieces off to fit them together. They don't want Fallout: New Vegas or Fallout 4. They want FALLOUT. Even the ghouls are prettied up so a generic audience will find the character appealing. That being said good writers, directors and actors can be make that into a fairly interesting story.

I mean it's only a trailer so mentioning every single thing that's going to crop up in the show would be a weird thing to expect.

Also, it might just be that having an NCR storyline with what seems to be three others (Vault, Brotherhood, Cowboy Ghoul) would have been too many eggs.

Better to keep it manageable and expand in future seasons.

More curious to see if they mention what happened to Caesar's Legion at some point but I'm not holding my breath that this show is going to be good since they most video game adaptations of RPG's haven't gone very well.

NCR aren't mentioned because it's in Philly?

I mean it;'s a 2 minute trailer, expecting it to cover the political situation of the area is silly.

What gore? I'm seeing a bit of blood, minimal severed limbs and not a single flying eyeball. What did I miss?

Twenty seven seconds in that's the Ferris wheel on the famous pier in LA (so famous I don't actually know its name ).

It's been forever since I played New Vegas, but I'm not sure if the NCR even extends that far south(west). At least early on it wasn't farther down than Shady Sands.

Ella Purnell's Lucy enters “Philly,” an apparent junkyard that is actually a town of survivors in the remnants of greater Los Angeles who cobbled together their village from scrap.


Fair enough. I was skimming that article and read the first half of that sentence that says "Philly" and I never even read the other half that said "Greater LA"
