Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

I'm interested, but films/series made from video games don't have the best reputation (although I think the more recent uncharted and halo ones were pretty good). I don't care who the lead is as long as the content is good.

Also worried about how they handle BOS as Bethesda has too often treated them like angels when they're anything but.

Well that's what happens when you sell off your IP. Although we can prefer what they were in a previous outing, what they are now is effectively whatever Beth want them to be. They have complete creative and narrative control, I would imagine.

Bloody hell. Would not expect to see deleted posts in here. Lol.

Anyway. Really looking forward to this. It has so much potential if they get it right!

I actually do not care who they cast. As long as that person is the best they can find for the role and not doing it to tick a box.

 

[Dunners]

Agreed - Huge potential. It's got the elements to make something great on TV. I hope they do it justice.

I think The Last of Us has really paved the way as to what producers can achieve if they do it well.

Different games, tlou was a story driven game whereas fallout 3 and 4 were open world rpgs so the writers of the tv show have unlimited scope to craft whatever narrative they want really.

Hopefully it's better than tlou which got worse as it progressed and was a snooze fest largely.

Fair point. Yes there's a big difference between story-led game series and more open-world RPGs. I've never played Fallout so can't comment. But for example RDR2 is arguably one of the best open-world games but at the same time has a fantastic and involving story to play through.

I thought TLOU was great throughout.

Oh yea I knew I'd forgotten one . Doom is the one that sticks in my mind for being poor.

After watching the trailer it reminded me how much i used to enjoy playing Fallout so I fired up Fallout 4 again for the first time in probably just under 2 years.

I'm now torn between continuing with my previous save or starting again from scratch.

For me, Doom is in the 'So bad its Good' category

Fallout 4 (and potentially New Vegas too) are among my most favourite games I’ve ever played.

Hope they capture the spirit of the game well. Wonder what the main plot will be.

Starting to get some marketing material released now.

Looks great to me.

Wide eyed innocent vault dweller.
Brother of Steel zealot
A ghoul who has seen it all go to hell.
Matt Berry as a Mr. Handy robot.

Looks like we will be getting lots of flashbacks, a bit like they did with 'The Last of Us'

 

[Kainz]

Trailer looks phenomenal (apart from that pink monster). 38secs in might as well be a game.

 

[Rob_B]

I love this so much, please be good! But who am I kidding, I'd watch it regardless of quality

 

[jklc]

I agree it totally has the look and feel down. Hopefully they spin a worthy tale too. I wasn't expecting the full series to drop, I thought the trend amongst the streaming studios was back to drip feeding episodes weekly.

 

[Flibster]

Looks right, and all the episodes at once? Yup. I'm in.

Have my bobblehead already.

 

[rids57]

I put thousands of hours into F3, FNV and F4, the trailer looks amazing and it all drops in one go - I think the weekend following the drop is sorted

 

[Shamikebab]

Looks so good, they've got the tone absolutely nailed down

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

I have a feeling there's some references to Tranquility Lane in that trailer.
