It’s going to be good. I can already tell it has The Boys humor in it and the surprise violence. It will be amazing.

cttttt ,

I’m kinda scared that the trailer was knee deep in “from the ____ who did _____ .”

Granted, it’s a teaser trailer, but it would have been cool to see a little more of what this show has to offer. e.g. The Boyz is great, because the story adapted from it’s source material was already interesting. I’d love to learn more about the story of this adaptation, esp since there’s a lot they’d have to do to turn the non linear, choose your own adventure source material into a non-interactive story.

Feels like the showrunners and story writers would have the opposite challenge of, say, The Last of Us. There, it was all about retelling an existing story and resisting the urge to reinvent too much.

Here they’d need to pick one of many stories and fill in a bunch of gaps.

Hope it works out 🤞🙏

Even though each game is a player driven RPG, there’s a canon “through line” of major events from 1 to 2 to New Vegas. 3 and 4 are set far enough away or in a different enough period of time that the plot impact is more minor.

Personally though, I hope this is less of an adaptation and more of a “side stories in the setting”.

sheogorath ,

From what I’ve read about the series it’s actually set 4 years after Fallout 4 events. So it’s more “side stories in the setting” rather than straight up adaptation.

MrScottyTay ,

If it’s an anthology series following different people in different parts of the world dealing with different scenarios then I’m waaay more on board from that than what they showed us in the trailer.

AstridWipenaugh ,

If you’re a fallout fan, you’re already on board. Our viewership is a given, and is theirs to lose. But for people who aren’t big fans, having big names attached shows it’s serious business. It’s meant to convince people on the fence that it’s worth an initial watch since there’s money and names behind it so maybe it’s not just “some dumb low budget video game shit.”

GoodEye8 ,

I don’t know. I’ve played every Fallout game (except tactics and that weird PS2/Xbox game) and it won’t even be on my radar until word of mouth confirms it’s good. The moment I saw Todd Howards name my interest plummeted. I’m happy that Bethesda has kept the franchise alive but Fallout 3 and 4 are a whole step below what Black isle/Obsidian created. If the show is going to be based on the Bethesda vision of Fallout then it’s instantly going to be at odds with the fanbase.

AstridWipenaugh ,

Maybe it’ll be good, maybe it won’t. But after the 400+ hours I spent in fo4, I’m willing to commit to another hour to see if the first episode is any good. I’ve spent longer than that hunting for literal trash in-game. :)

Did anyone else notice the abscence of shockwaves when the nukes went off?

avater OP ,
@avater@lemmy.world avatar

I see them clearly. They are not massive, but they are also not absent

inanna ,

Not the worst, lore wise the bombs were less explosive and more dirty

Well I don’t hate it yet…

Hope they manage to get the lead’s makeup smudged.

BigDaddySlim ,
@BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world avatar

I mean it can’t be worse than the Halo show, at least this looks decent from the trailer.

Can guarantee it’ll be better than getting mauled by a Deathclaw either way.

thorbot ,

We don’t talk about that show

Chozo ,

I was never a fan of the Fallout games (just couldn't get into the setting for some reason), but this looks surprisingly good. I'll probably give this a watch. Hoping it's a better adaptation than The Last of Us was, as I love when a video game adaptation succeeds.

Telodzrum ,

TLoU is the greatest videogame to screen adaptation, ever. What are you on about?

Chozo ,

In my opinion, it very quickly became a generic zombie apocalypse survival story after a couple episodes. I thought the fungal angle to a zombie outbreak was a very interesting take, and I would've liked to see a bit more focus on that aspect of things. But they hardly showed off the zombies at all. It gave me TWD vibes for most of the episodes. And not the good "look at the flowers" vibes, but the "spend half of Season 2 walking up and down this small stretch of road looking for a girl who isn't there" vibes.

The cast were all fantastic, but I just wasn't that hooked with the storytelling, I guess.

slumberlust ,

I agree, was meh. Didn’t finish the season.

Telodzrum ,

I couldn’t disagree about genericness more. Also, the zombies have never been the central source of conflict for TLoU; they are just a plot device used as backdrop to flush out interpersonal and fundamentally human conflicts.

Chozo ,

Eh, I feel like that's actually what makes it generic. The "survivors are the real monsters" trope is kinda played-out, IMO.

halfwaythere ,

Sweet! Well get a season or two and then they’ll cancel it just like they do all the rest of the fan favorites.

dvlsg ,
@dvlsg@lemmy.world avatar

That feels more like a Netflix move than an Amazon move.

BeMoreCareful ,

An expanse tear runs down my cheek.

CitizenKong ,

I’m not sure how that’s meant? Expanse was saved by Amazon and allowed to have enough seasons to tell its story.

darth_helmet ,

… you know it omitted the last three books, right?

wizardbeard ,

And ended in the middle of an arc too, iirc.

sheogorath ,

The last three books are after a time skip and with a new set of main characters, right?

chiliedogg ,

There’s a 30-year time skip, but the characters are the same.

I bet you that this will be in the show and narrated by Ron Perlman.

that was shockingly interesting

this trailer looks better than the Furiosa trailer.

Take place in California. But no sign of the New California Republic. Not looking good.

dangblingus ,

It’s a teaser trailer and the NCR is huge in the lore. It’ll be fine.

hal_5700X , (edited )
@hal_5700X@lemmy.world avatar

So don’t tease the fan favorite faction. Good guys. /s

All they needed to do is show a NCR flag in the background.

mycatiskai ,

I don’t want to give away too much if you haven’t been playing Fallout since the very beginning but the NCR is not started until years after the first game when a person the vault dweller helps, organizes their village to become the New California Republic.

We don’t know when this vault opens. It hasn’t been mentioned in previous games so it might have opened and failed before anything else from series starts or it will take place many years later and we just haven’t seen the NCR and the other factions in the teasers.

hal_5700X , (edited )
@hal_5700X@lemmy.world avatar

Good point, we don’t know when the show takes place. But the Brotherhood have a Prydwen like aircraft. They didn’t have that in the first two games.

mycatiskai ,

True so some time after the Arroyo incident, the brotherhood would have taken vertibird tech from the enclave after the chosen one took them down for the first time.

This assumes the writers for the show give two shits about the lore. They might only use the lore as set dressing for generic post apocalyptic trash.

In the Vanity Fair article. Says the show takes place 9 years after the events of Fallout 4, in 2296. So safe bet that is the Prydwen. 🤡 🌎

Also the NCR is not in the promotional materials from Amazon/Bethesda.

tegs_terry ,

What the fuck man where the hell did this spring up from? This just started a flame in my heart.

Zozano ,

I don’t suppose in your heart you have but one desire?

mycatiskai ,

Is that desire to light a flame in your heart instead of the whole world? You pyromaniac!

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy ,

i really REALLY hope it doesn’t suck

Evotech ,

SILO is fallout canon in my head

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy ,

i hope they come up with a better ending than they did in the books

ExLisper , (edited )

Kind of a random though but do you think we will ever see shows done in a more connected way? I mean as of now, all the shows are always done in secret. Why not involve fans in the process? Publish videos from the set as you film and get feedback? Publish scripts, test footage and so on. Yes, the element of surprise would be lost but wouldn’t it be nice to see how the show is made and they see the final product? And maybe even influence it a little bit? I would love something like that. What do you think?

Edit: interesting. Looks like only I would be interested in seeing how a show is made.

NessD ,

The only reason we watch shows is to get the story. Being spoiled ruins the whole idea of the show. Besides: Even though some showrunners miss the mark, most of the fans ideas of what might come instead are mostly terrible.

ExLisper ,

Yeah, I don’t know. In the age of remakes, reboots and huge franchises can we really say that we watch shows for the story? Is any of the Marvel movies about the story? You always now how it will end. If you read the script of Guardians of the Galaxy would it really spoil the movie? I think those movies are actually more about ‘being involved’. Same as Star Trek or Star Wars. It’s about following, being a fan. Story is the weakest part of those movies. It’s all about CGI, action sequences and ‘fan stuff’ like callbacks, references and so on. I think showing what’s happening on the green screen wouldn’t actually spoil anything and would be really interesting to the fans.

And regarding fans ideas Sonic comes to mind. They released the trailer, fans complained and it got fixed.

But I not saying that all the shows should be made like this. For some (most?) I wouldn’t work. I’m just saying… wouldn’t it be interesting to see the entire process for a show like this?

tegs_terry ,

There’s evidence that people like stuff just as much even if they know what’s gonna happen, kind of like how placebos often work even if you tell the person.

Zozano ,

People rewatch movies because they love them.

I’m about to watch the final episode of the One Piece adaptation, even though I know exactly what has happened.

The adaptation has deviated slightly from the manga, but that’s to be expected of a series known for filler.

calabast ,

I think part of why creators don’t include fans in the process is to avoid the possibility of a lawsuit like “I said there should be a super-mutant/brotherhood of steel secret relationship, and they used my idea! I’m entitled to money!”

Maybe 🤷‍♂️

avater OP ,
@avater@lemmy.world avatar

No not really. There’s a reason you hire experts to do a job and I for instance hates it if someone try’s to explain to me, a designer, what a good design is…

ExLisper ,

But we have early access video games. You can start playing when it’s in alfa, give feedback. Is it really that bad for creators?

avater OP ,
@avater@lemmy.world avatar

I never do it. I play games when they are finished

slowd0wn ,

Developers don’t use early access to get feedback on lore, world-building and visual aesthetic. They get feedback on gameplay balance and bugs. A movie/TV studio doesn’t have gameplay, it’s all visual. Apples to oranges comparison

ExLisper ,

Yes but aren’t game developer experts on gameplay balance? Why would they listen to feedback from some amateurs? It’s the same with movies. People who designed Sonic for the movie were also experts, right? Yet they listed to feedback.

MonsiuerPatEBrown ,

the nipple is the only good design

everything after that is artifice.

wildcardology ,

So you want to be like those execs that interferes with the production of the show/movie?

hybridhavoc ,
@hybridhavoc@lemmy.world avatar

Nah the last thing these shows need are a bunch of armchair experts chipping in.

brawleryukon ,
@brawleryukon@lemmy.world avatar

Ackshully, those experts are statistically far more likely to be sitting in an office chair or a gaming chair than an arm chair.

pushes glasses WAAAAY up nose

ImTryingLemmy ,

Same reason I don’t ask people what they think about my work while I’m doing it, it’s a pain in the ass.
