[Draugoth]

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them. From executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators of Westworld, starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins and more. All episodes arrive April 11 on Prime Video.

[BuddyLaDouche]

As a nice easter egg, she carries around and overburdened backpack full of useless shit for 99% of the season.

 

[SJRB]

There's a 90% chance this is going to be trash, but either way Walton Goggins is gonna need back surgery after carrying this fucking thing by himself.

 

[adamsapple]

Set design is on point and Walton Goggins's ghoul makeup / CG looks pretty good.

 

[The Cockatrice]

STRONG WOMAN

 

[Laptop1991]

Looks promising, i'm still in, but i'm not sure they have got the vibe just right yet, and that Mr Handy isn't very Codsworth like lol, and Bobblehead's from Fallout 3 that wern't in New Vegas, now they are in the west coast at last.

that’s just how they speak in Tuscan, Arizonia

 

[AtomicStarving]

Looks decent. But why that fuck there is massive chromatic aberration in the trailer. Ruined. Hope the final image looks clean from that garbage.

I mean't the more harvesting organs part rarther than the accent.

 

[Toots]

the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind

This sentence shows a grave misunderstanding of the source material (Vault Tec did not build vaults to shelter the wealthy), but it will enable the writers of the show to check the privileges of wealthy heterosexuals so i guess it was a necessary sacrifice...

Yea I know, was making a joke as it’s something the actor Matt Berry says in what we do in the shadows

 

[Chuck Berry]

The only thing that I hope comes out of this garbage is the current gen update for Fallout 4.

Fair enough, i've never seen the show, so i didn't get the joke, but you wouldn't trust your kid with that MR Handy would you lol.

 

[Denton]

Definitely looks like adaptation of Bethesda's Fallout.

But I am still cautiously optimistic, I just love that world even after Beth's bastardization of it.

 

[hlm666]

This looks so much better than I ever expected, Mr Goggins the ghoul obviously took all the chem (and probably alcohol) perks hahaha love him already.

 

[NeonDelta]

Just noticed it’s all episodes at once. Excellent

 

[Mr Moose]

All episodes arrive April 11 on Prime Video.

Sweet, hopefully it's decent.

 

[Strategize]

Looks like the kind of show that will be a good fun and entertaining romp for the majority of normal functioning people. Which a handful of nerds hate because like 10-20% of the lore isn't accurate to the source material and try to make a mountain out of a molehill out of it, then they'll pump out a few rage bait videos saying it's woke or some shit whatever that means.

Anyway, good trailer.

 

[The Fartist]

You all are jaded as fuck, this looks pretty awesome.

 

[splattered]

You guys are crazy, this looks fantastic

 

[AJUMP23]

This actually looks like it gets the tone and world pretty well. I hope it is great.

 

[TheShocker]

Looks 100x better than the steaming pile of shit that is Halo.

 

[splattered]

Looks 100x better than the steaming pile of shit that is Halo.

I bet MS is regretting their Halo series right about now. Could have gone so much better than it did... hopefully whoever was responsible for driving that is gone now and we can get a better series in a decade or so.

 

[dorkimoe]

You guys are crazy, this looks fantastic

People will always cry when something isnt word for word the same as the book/game/source material. I am thrilled to just have it set in this universe, dont care what story it is.

It looks amazing.

 

[SmurfMustard]

Looks good to me. Will definitely watch.

 

[Krathoon]

This looks like it fits in right with the games. Another vault dweller story.

Seems like they are following the Fallout Bible.

 

[Krathoon]

I like who they picked for the Vault salesman. Perfect actor for the part.

 

[R6Rider]

Looks good. I just hope it actually is.

 

[Toots]

You all are jaded as fuck, this looks pretty awesome.

It's pretty simple actually

 

[Trunx81]

I trust in Jonathan Nolan. Person of Interest was one of the best shows ever.

 

[Salz01]

This looks actually pretty good. Hope it delivers.

 

[Del_X]

Looks quite good.

 

[gtabro]

Still inspired mainly by the colourful parody that is Fo4? Still a hard pass.

Im the nerd who said they made a grave misunderstanding of the source material. I showed you why. It's not a small piece of unimportant lore, it is one of the fundamental traits of characters of Vault tec, a supremely important entity in the Fallout universe.
If the colours looks good to you great, i don't really care about the colours i care about the story. I guess im not made for netflix/D+/amazon video shallow style of storytelling and directing (i have amazon prime so i'll check the series anyway).
All in all im a nerd because i first played fallout when i was a child and it stuck with me, universe and all. Im glad im a nerd then, it's better than being a drone.

[Negotiator101]

Looks pretty good to me, suitably big budget, good acting. Will have to wait for the first episode to see if it has a good story and strong characters.

 

[Last Hearth]

I trust in Jonathan Nolan. Person of Interest was one of the best shows ever.

Yes, I stopped watching network shows a long time ago, and figured this was another cookie cutter network procedural, and turned out to be one of my all time favorite shows. The caveat to that is he also did West World which turned into a huge steaming pile after a decent but not great 1st season.

 

[captainnapalm]

Horrible choice for a protag.

 

[diffusionx]

This TV show is going to be shit, anyone who thinks otherwise is just lying to themselves.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

As a nice easter egg, she carries around and overburdened backpack full of useless shit for 99% of the season.

And she’ll scrounge around in pre-war grocery stores just in case there’s still some potato chips that haven’t been looted in the last 200 years.

 

[Krathoon]

It is a good idea for a more vulnerable person to be the protagonist.

Especially a woman. Ramps up the drama.

 

[crackajack]

I don't know the games much, so I cannot except anything in particular. I am not sold on all the dialog bits in the trailer, but it looks more cinema worthy than TV-Shows need to, imho. I guess since Band of Brothers TV-shows have to rival their big picture relatives and can't anymore just be charming, and clever or whatever the shows of my childhood and youth were.

 

[MiguelItUp]

You all are jaded as fuck, this looks pretty awesome.

We've been in an age where people love to hate and nothing is good enough. I think it honestly looks better than it has any right to. Hoping it's better than I'd imagine. But I'll be going in with zero expectations, much like I did with Twisted Metal and that was a pleasant surprise.

 

[Krathoon]

Oh yeah. The show fits right in with Fallout. I assume it will be part of the canon.

Vault 4 is a totally new Vault.

 

[Krathoon]

I like how this is just another Fallout story. No alternate universe bullshit.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Where is the cameo of this weapon??
