TV Shows Fallout Teaser Trailer

[Quagmire]

This looks beyond excellent. Hit the tone and feel and a wonderful cast, I am pumped

 

[VashTheStampede]

Walton Goggins usually = quality so I'm definitely in

Yep, Im a huge Goggins fan

 

[Tommy Boy]

So, I have extremely high hopes for this show. More than most shows, because I'd say Fallout is my favorite franchise in gaming. The art direction is solid - they really just used in-game models for stuff and made it happen. The only thing that can kill this for me is really bad writing - akin to the Halo TV show. I have never wanted to actually bring violence upon a showrunner more than I did for the Halo TV show. Everything was completely and undoubtedly Halo in the show - except for fucking Master Chief. They butchered him. They changed the lore on certain things that shouldn't be messed with. That, to me, was unforgiveable.

If the Fallout TV show can manage to add lore without retconning lore, then I think it will be hard to fuck up. The sets are just perfect, the makeup and the costumes are believable. For fucks sake, please no sex scenes with a Deathclaw and I think we're about to have a very solid game-to-TV port.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Save that shit for season 2. Gotta build to it.

Agreed. I’ve been REAL apprehensive about this show from early on simply because I’m not familiar with the names attached to it beyond Amazon who picked it up… and my first reaction to that was hoping that they don’t fuck it up.

There’s a LOT of potential they can tap into with Fallout, and so far… it looks like they’re doing it right. The SFX for the ghouls leaves a little to be desired considering they looked a bit more convincing on the PS3, but that’s nothing that can’t be ironed out in season two when/if their budget expands beyond it’s already astronomical level.

...did this shit actually happen in one of those games?

As usual with this sort of thing: fan mod

[Jon]

I'm excited for this. And Magic the Gathering is releasing commander sets Fallout themed around the same time as this, so I'm more pumped.

I lol'd at from the studio behind The Boys and Free 2-Day Shipping.

Now just don't do the most Amazon thing ever and cancel it after one season....

Based on the trailer alone it seems they at least have the tone down which is a good start.

I dont think Walton Goggins does this show either if its a terrible script

 

[VashTheStampede]

Kyle MacLaughlin either, really.

 

[Quagmire]

Kyle MacLaughlin either, really.

I feel like he would, or at least pick at least weird/interesting "bad"

 

[VashTheStampede]

Yeah but Kyle MacLaughlin "bad" is still an entertaining "bad".

Absolutely, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the set design for a while, despite being a dick about it that was like “that’s just a still frame, though, they could have worked that for months”. If my only bitch about it is the ghoul special effects, I ain’t gonna be mad about it. We watched Power Rangers as kids, you know?

 

[VashTheStampede]

Honestly, when you look at ghoul design starting at the beginning of the franchise, they've progressively gotten less and less gross to where this feels almost on purpose.

I think it’s just the nose… I was expecting less of a void and more fleshy tissue. I just can’t help but think someone went up and said “gotcha nose” on set.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I hope that they have her visit broken down vaults and then flashback to when those vaults went to shit whenever she runs across a recording, letter, or terminal entry. You have to use your imagination whenever venturing into a dead vault.

People are strange.

does that make me a stranger

Edit: Of course I messed up the lyrics.

I'm not sure what to think. Oxhorn made some valid points about how they're already screwing a few things up, starting with the Brotherhood of Steel.

 

[Tommy Boy]

I'm not sure what to think. Oxhorn made some valid points about how they're already screwing a few things up, starting with the Brotherhood of Steel.

I'd say give it a chance. Oxhorn, while extremely resourceful, is in his own world sometimes. This video of his concerns are run so deep that I don't think he realizes the show is not going to get that far in. We know from the trailers that the BoS want to bring order to the wasteland, but didn't mention the focus on technology. That doesn't mean they won't be focusing on that primary objective. I can see where Ox is coming from, but he's cherry picking. I'm going to give it a chance no matter what. If it's anything like the Halo show, I'll just simply stop watching and never give it another shot.

 

[TD]

So this is out now.

RT has it at 92% critic and 85% audience.

I'll probably at least give it a try to see what happens... maybe it'll finally convince me to give Fallout 4 a go (which conveniently is finally getting current-gen updates).

 

[Quagmire]

I plan to start watching this weekend, cant wait!

I did not like FO4, I dropped it. The role playing was too low, and I didnt like settlements and didnt really have fun exploring like I did in FO3 and NV

 

[VashTheStampede]

4 is the weakest of the 3 modern single player Fallouts but I still had a lot of fun with it. It does have one of the best characters in the entire mythos, and one of the DLCs adds even more to his story.

I think I might jump back into Fallout 76 a bit. It started off pretty trash but has had a pretty great turnaround, and it has maybe the nicest multi-player community I've ever witnessed.

Might check out the first episode tonight. Or this weekend at the latest.

 

[dimmerwit]

I watched the first episode. I was quite impressed even though it's very much a setup for things to come. It was pretty bloody though, so be careful!

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Note: If you intend to get back into FO4, wait until they apply the Next Gen patch on April 25th. It might work better after the patch without needing mods for it to work.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Watched the first episode.

I loved it.

Holy crap.

I hate that I cant get my brain to watch shows till all episodes are available. In case I need to binge them all, I don't wanna be stuck.

Do me a favor, remind me when all episodes are up in a couple months lol.

I used to like that, but one I like that there can be more discussion with them not being all at once and two I track all the shows that I'm watching and I really like having them cleared out so clearing out one episode at a time and then getting the show off my to watch list is very satisfying

I just don't like forgetting what happens in a long layoff lol

I feel like a lot of story heavy shows have a nice recap now. Watching shogun and they have one each week.

 

[MrDawn]

Looks great, but I hope they don't screw up on the lore. The Brotherhood of Steel aren't exactly the heroes of the wasteland. Their sole purpose is collecting and hoarding technology. They take care of their own.

True, but different sects of the Brotherhood from different parts of the Wasteland could have differing viewpoints.

 

[MrDawn]

The Lyons Pride would be the one you're meaning. Several other sects got taken out by the NCR (New California Republic). They lost all support and it fell on Arthur Maxson to rebuild the Brotherhood of Steel.

 

[Mark]

Well, we watched the first episode. I was expecting a single setting for the first season so they could keep the story tight and focused, but it seems like they’re hinting at the whole country being featured.

So far it seems like an accurate representation of what we all know.

My only complaint? Some unnecessary CGI. You mean to tell me that y’all had to animate dude throwing the bag into the Vertibird?

 

[Quagmire]

Almost done with the first episode and really like it so far

 

[VashTheStampede]

 

[Quagmire]

The show does make me want to replay 1 & 2

 

[VashTheStampede]

 

[Quagmire]

Was not expecting a Michael Rapaport cameo!

Loved that

Spoiler

you hear the power armor and the tough low voice then you get the helmet taken off and get Michael's higher pitched whiny voice

The cameo and conversation in episode 6 has been my favorite one so far.

Erik Estrada was my favorite. Then Chris Parnell.

Yes, I binged all but the last episode over the weekend as I adjusted my Outlaws of Thunder Junction deck.

Stay off of social media, kids!

God damn it, is he some antivax right wing nut job?

I dunno about anti-vax but lately he's been spouting about considering voting for Trump

 

[Gloom-is-good]

Just finished it! Yes, we watched it on our honeymoon but tbf, our travel time was 8-10 hours one way. We both really enjoyed it. I never played the games.

They are good games, check them out, 1 & 2 are usually dirt cheap if not often given away for free

Somebody might come in and save the day to correct me or point her in the right direction, but I want to remember briefly reading a headline on one of the game pages I follow about the first two being free on some platform as part of a sale running now.

Would make sense given the show just came out
