Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

Aye, the 50's theme is basically what the 'future' would look like in all the old infomercials from that time, which is why you have a retro futuristic look to everything.

Fallout is an alternate reality where the transistor was not invented like it was in our reality and everything was focused on nuclear energy instead.

Finished this last night with the missus.we both loved it and what a great last episode...still thinking about it today.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Binged it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. To my great surprise, Herself really enjoyed it as well. I did give her the gist of the Fallout universe before watching the first episode.

Quite enjoyed watching this over the last week with better half, just series one finale left.

However, for me as someone who hasn't played the game (while my better half has played them all I think), details were a bit lacking in parts.

I'm just glad this doesn't have the sea of "It's popular, so Imma hate on it" peeps, the vast majority of people have enjoyed it.

I'm really not sure how anyone missed that bit.

Fallout cribbed from all the world fairs and "world of tomorrow" articles and shows from the mid 40's through to the early 60's.
Pretty much every bit of tech in fallout except some weapons is loosely (or closely) based on at least one or more classic bit of proejction about the future, from the TV's, to the cars, to the robot assistants and the fact that everything that was power hungry had a fusion cell (IIRC GM was talking about nuclear powered cars by the end of the 40's).

Because it was a good show that stuck fairly well to the source material.

The protagonist had a good character arc that avoided a lot of the eyeball inducing tropes female protagonists often end up with in contemporary TV shows and movies. (Obviously the story of the naive yoing person who goes on a dangerous journey, faces adversity and near death and comes out wiser and tougher is itself an very old story device)

Yes the 'Fallout' universe itself is rather weird/ unbelievable in places but the characters were largely consistent and believable 'within' the universe.

The only thing I would like to have seen is more of the unique animals/ characters associated with the universe (Supermutants, maybe a death claw etc). Although time and budgetary constraints obviously limit what they could include in a first series.

Amazon dropped this yesterday

Because it was a good show that was well written unlike the floods of garbage to have come out of D+ recently

Honestly don't really mind the wait as long as the quality stays high. Loads of shows go rapidly downhill after the first season.

Character not confirmed as yet.

Is that to save on Ghoul make-up?

 

[Stu999]

Binged this at the weekend, I really enjoyed it and looking forward to S2.

I only ever played a bit of New Vegas (got bored because it seemed very “generic RPG”). After watching the series I fancy trying maybe Fallout 4.

If you thought NV was generic, FO4 will bore your pants off.

NV had character, a great story and atmosphere. FO4 had... None of these imo.

Well, I might give NV another shot. I think it was just that when I started hearing about some of the side quests they just sounded like fetch quests and I couldn’t be bothered. Was probably just not in the mood at the time.

 

[Shamikebab]

I thought FO4 was great personally, had one of the best stories in a Bethesda game imo. New Vegas was good but suffered from being so bug ridden and an engine that looks pretty crap.
