There’s not enough wackiness in the trailer. Fallout has always had a thin veneer of grimdark with a whole hidden iceberg of goofy bullshit and it was amazing.
I’m getting huge “missing the point” vibes.
so the cyclops overseer drinking a moldy cup isnt wacky at all?
Half the teaser looked really good, half looked incredibly mediocre.
Clean human skull at the entrance trope? Bit on the nose.
I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I’m getting my hopes up.
I thought this trailer looked fantastic, I don’t know what the rest of you all are smoking. As a fallout fan it was more than enough to get me excited for the series, also Walton Goggins as a ghoul chefs kiss.
People need to remember that fallout isn’t the last of Us or god of war, fallout is a cool series with a cool world, but it’s not a masterpiece of story telling and writing. These showrunners aren’t making Lord of the rings over here, it’s not gonna be hard to make a decent show based in an established world.
They’re keeping the aesthetic and design, so I’m happy. But so many people don’t have a nuanced opinion anymore, and a show is either a perfect 10 or it’s “unwatchable garbage”. I’ve seen and loved shows that I give a solid 8 to, but anything below a nine gets called “shit” these days.
I mean, New Vegas is known as one of the best written RPGs of all time. So… there might be slightly higher than average expectations here.
No it’s not lmao. It was good but it’s far from anything like that
What? It’s almost universally accepted that New Vegas is one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Go through any “top RPGs of all time” list and you’re pretty much guaranteed to find New Vegas there, usually in the top half of the list.
Sweet! Well get a season or two and then they’ll cancel it just like they do all the rest of the fan favorites.
That feels more like a Netflix move than an Amazon move.
An expanse tear runs down my cheek.
I’m not sure how that’s meant? Expanse was saved by Amazon and allowed to have enough seasons to tell its story.
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.
I mean fallout certainly has the world and stories to be turned into a series of movies or a tv show. I just hope they don’t focus too much on the woke aspect and actually take advantage of the source material and storytelling
Either you have never played the games or never paid attention to anything but the gunplay.
90% of Fallout is social commentary, and it’s not even subtle about it.
What are we talking about here? Racism against ghouls? Fascistic vaults? Common, everyday slavery?
I never know what someone means when they say “woke”. Are you for those examples above, or against them?
I’m against producers hamfisting woke ideals into content, like if the whole series was just shallow men=evil, women=strong, or every single character is non binary and points are constantly being made about it and things like that.
When it feels more like a circle jerk than just realities of the story, going out of its way to basically virtue signal removing focus from the actual interesting stories
to me this looks like the most generic “Hollywood trailer” which is unfortunate but understandable.
TV shows/movies based on games are usually just a cash grab that play on people’s love of the source material, but maybe in wrong we’ll see.
