    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.

      Looks a bit cosplay-y, honestly.

      But also I've never been into Bethesda Fallout, so I'm already not as much of a target for this one, I suppose.

      source
      • micka190@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        That was my impression too. The costumes and CG seemed a bit goofy to me. But then again, so did the original Witcher trailer, and that ended-up looking mostly fine when I actually watched it, so…

        It’s west coast fallout by Bethesda, and I really don’t know how I expect them to handle the established material. I hope they do justice to what’s been written already

        Yeah you’re right Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is where I think this show should’ve taken its design notes from.

      I thought it looked pretty good.

      That said, I thought the first few seconds right up until Dogmeat started eating the Radroach looked pretty mid. I got really psyched and excited when I saw the BoS power armor

      It’s a very good setting for a show or mini series, but the way the IP’s current owners have handled it so far gives me pause.

      source
      • Zahille7@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I mean we already saw mutants (NOT Super Mutants or Centaurs) in the form of Chris Parnell’s Overseer Cyclops in the trailer. The rest of the shots (especially the Yao Guai tearing up that Paladin) make me think it’ll be more lore-accurate.

    I didn’t realize Jonathan Nolan was a showrunner. The first season of Westworld was brilliant. And Walton Goggins is good in everything. I’ll give it a shot.

    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.

    source
    • drewofdoom@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      There are a lot of reasons to not judge it yet. First and foremost, the director/show runner has zero input on the trailer. That’s all the marketing department, and the trailer is designed to get as many eyeballs as possible on the final product. Numerous examples exist of trailers which bared little resemblance to the movie/show/game/whatever.

      Secondly, they buried the lead on the director. Jonathan Nolan did direct much of Westworld. But he also wrote a bunch of award winning films for his brother, Christopher Nolan. Movies like Memento, Interstellar, The Prestige, and Dark Knight. He’s no slouch, and I’ll reserve judgement until I see it.

      source
      • treesapx@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        To back you up, the first Doom Patrol trailers did little justice to how weird that show is.

        source
      • ours@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        J. Nolan also did “Person of Interest”. It’s a lesser-known show but it was very good.

        It felt like a classic 80s show at first(the hero is a badass supported by an eccentric rich guy to help random people) but, without spoiling it, it takes a very interesting turn.

        source
    • EnderMB@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      While i fully agree, a lot of people won’t know what Fallout is, and they kinda have to set the basics first.

      With that being said, I question whether Amazon can pull this off.

    Fallout was an aesthetic that told super dark stories. How will a TV capture the vignette of nightmares that are the Vaults?

    source
    • Son_of_dad@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Fallout is not a masterpiece of story telling or cinematography. It was written by non writers mostly. It’s not the godfather. It isn’t going to be hard for professional writers to make it work better than the games, and clearly they’re not fucking with the visual designs of the series.

      source
      • Zozano@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It’s almost hard to get Fallout wrong. Unless you shove a kid into a fridge for 200 years, or retcon the creation of the super mutants.

        Todd Howard is involved, so I wager they’ll get the themes right.

      There’s not really any limits for content anymore. Look at Amazon’s The Boys.

      The way you play Fallout / Skyrim / Bethesda games might end up being a perfect format for a television adaption.

      You can have a main character and follow their travels in a really strange setting. You can have 1 off episodes with perticular styles much like the quests in the game. You can easily switch from a dark horror filled vault to a campy town the next episode. Kind of like the files would have lighter episodes then some really dark ones and occasionally an episode about the main characters.

      Because the fallout universe has a lot to be explored you a smart writing team could do a lot.

      TL;DR Gimme Twilight Zone in the wasteland

    • tegs_terry@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That could very easily be done, and it’s not especially ‘dark’ anyway.

        Not especially dark in the vaults, except for all of the body horror.

    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@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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 🤞🙏

      • wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        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”.

        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.”

    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.

      I really disagree on that. Most recent videogame adaptions have been pretty awesome: Arcane, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Last of Us, Castlevania. Sure there are some stinkers out there, but the quality really went up in the last years.

    I haven’t found a place in my life for these types of TV series. Looks good though just prefer the complete arc of a movie or a mini-series.

    Sets look kind of big budget artificial, soapy? Like that is some wicked blue dye on the suits, very fresh. Lovely hair and makeup. All good though I realize it’s just not my thing. A cinematic 90 minute fallout movie laser focused on 2-3 character arcs would be exciting to me.

    source
    • drmoose@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah it looks like it’s artificial almost on purpose. The vault opening and there’s a neat little skull in the corner…

      Tbh I don’t mind shitty adaptations that fan service but I think they are missing the mark on this one. I hope I’m wrong tho.

    Idk where it looks great comes from, this looks like the Fallout 76 trailers. So focused on cheesey looking high budget CGI, the colors on the suits look too fresh and vibrant(imo), power armor CGI looks honestly too expressive- not like a hydraulic walking tank.

    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.

      source
      • Chozo@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        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.

    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?
