Oh please let it be good.
Same. It will either be amazing or terrible.
Or amazing and cancelled after 1 season (rip Peripheral)
Wait, what? For real? Thats shitty.
And cowboy bebop
Here’s the direct link to the video if anybody wants to go right to it…
The dead silence when the Fallout title came on screen is pretty telling. Everyone was rolling through the possibilities in their heads about just how mediocre, unimaginative, and unmemorable this will be after it doesn’t get renewed for a second season.
i heard itll be about as mediocre as fallout 2, which was also set in LA at parts
@MattBoySlim
Its crazy to me how companies can keep writing up these TV show adaptations, and get away with it.90% of your target audience doesn’t want anything to do with it, and yet you keep making it.
Wild.
@chloysterI don’t know, I’ve enjoyed Fallout ever since the first one and I’m looking forward to the show. It’s not like they have to follow a specific storyline from the games, just a new story in an established setting. Should be easy enough. If it’s good, more people will get into Fallout. If it’s bad, oh well, the games are still there.
I always, always hope that its good, but unfortunately 8/10 times, it tends to be a disservice to the franchise.
Could you imagine a Metal Gear TV / movie adaptation? I can’t imagine anyone could ever make that a descent representation of not only the content, but the people who are invested in it too, but I would love more than anything to be proven wrong.
wish obsidian had the rights…as og fallout fan it really hurts to see what bethesda is doing to the franchise
You mean interplay? New Vegas is good but I’ve never thought it was so fundamentally different that bethesda was “hurting” the franchise as opposed to them.
new vegas was pretty close to the roots while bethesda just borrows terms and artwork, but is never able to combine it with a story and chars that give you that fallout feeling.
not arguing that they basically took a dead ip and created games loved by millions. but if you are looking for og fallout new vegas is the way to go.
Interplay…feel like I am in the Wayback Machine. I worked there for a few years at the time of Carmageddon, Fallout1/2, Descent, and some other classics. A lifetime ago.
I still have my Vault13 flask from Fallout2. Sad that I can not really use it anymore though as the printing is very fragile now.
why? almost nobody from obsidian has also worked on new vegas. and new vegas was and still is the buggiest fallout game ever made
Buggiest and one of the best written. RPGs need high quality writing.
Yes. I love New Vegas. Fantastic storylines. I started off with 2 and I’d say that New Vegas is the title I remember with the most fondness. The Fallout franchise is in my top 3. Just a joy to play.
Have I tried unsuccessfully to revist it several times over the years? Also yes.
rpgs also need to be playable. and the writing is very exposition heavy
Never said it was perfect, but the game got great reviews and won a bunch of awards because it’s good despite the bugs.
it actually made obsidian miss out on a bonus because it was so buggy it affected reviews
the only bugs i remenber are related to running it on newer tech.
but the story and characters are awesome and it actually captures the fallout spirit, unlike f3/4/76.
there’s no way f3/4/76 fail to capture the fallout spirit haha. what a weird statement to make
I guess you never played 1 and 2. And 76 has obviously no other connection to fallout than the name, some words and assets. It is like the anti-fallout.
so for fallout to feel like fallout it needs dated cringy 90s related humor? despite the fact the game takes place hundreds of years after the 90s? cause that’s fallout 2
and im guessing you never played 76
og fallout humor is timeless…
to my utmost shame I have to admit that I preordered it. it was not only a slap in the face for all fallout fans but also all gamers. bethesda put zero effort into this cashgrab.
theres no way you can see the detailed world and say thats zero effort. its like the best world bethesda has ever crafted. its huge, vaired, and interesting. regardless of the games own failings, its definitely not a zero effort release, otherwise they would have given up on it years ago
There are plenty of games that feel true to their roots without needing to feel like the same thing. 1 and 2 came out almost 30 years ago. While they’re good games, there are other ways to explore those kinds of stories than by just replicating those two.
I dont know, I would argue Fallout 76 was much buggier.
IMO it depends on the system, and they are buggier in different ways. I’ve never not been able to play 76, but New Vegas would just shut down, or freeze, and you’d lose a bunch of stuff. Even 3 I still have never played the alien mothership DLC because it just wouldn’t let me. I’d get to the beam me up part, and it would freeze every time. I’ve also only played it on playstation, I’ve heard less issues with other systems.
bethesda had a lot of problems making their games work on ps3, its why the dragonborn dlc for skyrim was released way later than it was on xbox
I wish the series well, but when we’ve just been told another game isn’t coming out for 10+ years you cant expect too much hype from fans. The best I can do is mild interest.
Huh, this wasn’t even on my radar. Well, like the rest of the folks said, we can hope!
If there’s no talking gibs or main characters dying off screen by falling through the world I’m not interested.
I’m kidding, I’m a little interested.
Plot twist: It’s just the Nuka Break webseries
We will probably wish this is true
Been looking forward to it.
I’m very exited about this!
