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

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

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

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.

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.

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?
DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 1 year ago
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

Half the teaser looked really good, half looked incredibly mediocre.
Clean human skull at the entrance trope? Bit on the nose.

Looks good. Didn’t see any nuka cola references.

This has tempered my expectations for the show. I’ll give it a shot (fallout is my favourite game series), but I’m no longer super excited.

Strange, I got the exact opposite feel from the teaser. If anything they nailed the tone of fallout in that 2 and a half minute spot. Plus the set design and costumes don’t look cheap or fake. Im cautiously optimistic.

The vault costumes definitely looked cheap, more cosplay fan film than professional production in my opinion. And the cgi on the mechs was very uncanny valley

I’m worried about the humour. It felt like they’re trying to force it. We’ll see though, I’ll be happy to be wrong.
