Idk, luscious green forest doesn't look much like fallout to me

[-] LordCirais@pawb.social 3 points 11 months ago

I'm getting flashbacks to the FO76 announcement...

[-] Stuka@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

If you told me it was a screenshot from a fan made film I'd be really impressed.

It looks like fallout except it's too clean. Like, fallout is dirty. Where's everyone washing up and getting clean clothing?

They probably have trailers on set

[-] Debs@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

I agree. I'm holding out hope that this is well done because I love post-apocalyptic media. The visual style makes me think the show's tone will be light/campy.

Girl got scared by a tumbleweed. Camp incoming for sure.

I'm holding out hope as well, but I wouldn't be surprised if it failed for the same reasons Cowboy Bebop's adaptation failed: campy, tone-deaf, 1-dimensional writing and straying from the source material too much.

But I really hope I'm pleasantly surprised.

UPDATE: I actually was pleasantly surprised. It has a bit of camp in there, but that's to be expected of most shows nowadays. But other than that, it understood the assignment. Characters feel dynamic and not one-dimensional, the additions to the lore feel at home, and it was clearly made by people who played the games. There's some okay acting, and also some really great acting. Tone is mostly there, and it doesn't pull any punches from the nastier aspects of the Wasteland. Interested to see where season 2 goes.

Depends on the setting and timeline. In 2, the Enclave soldiers were wearing basically brand new armor. In 76, it's only 20 years after the bombs.

In 4, the power armor suits are hundreds of years old.

[-] Suburbanl3g3nd 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah but I mean EVERYONE looks like they stepped out of their homes after a shower and shave with fresh clothing from the dresser. That just doesn't feel Fallout. Like, in the Last of Us, he characters all looked worn and lived-in-the-world. Sure the stuff was high quality, but it was grimy.

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago

Ah, I see what you mean. Hopefully the "clean" armor and soldier shots are coming from pre war scenes.

The Fallout TV series trailer certainly looks like Fallout, except for that one cyclops

There's also a cyclops, which is not a thing I remember from any Fallout game,

Why would there need to be precedent for this? Cows mutated to have 2 heads, bugs mutated to be human sized. It seems like one unlucky fucker could have mutated into a cyclops and fit into the setting just fine.

[-] potustheplant@feddit.nl 1 points 11 months ago

Well, he's wearing a vault suit and, as far as I know, those mutations ocurred outside of the vaults. So I have to assume that he isn't an OG vault dweller but is now living in one for some reason

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Ugh, the BOS and Dogmeat are in this for some reason?

Fallout is at this point so obsessed with nostalgia fanservice that I'm surprised Bethesda doesn't just release a Fallout that has you walk down a straight corridor while characters and factions from past games pop out at you.

Maybe the Enclave will even show up again.

[-] Hux@lemmy.ml -1 points 11 months ago

I really like Fallout, so why is my primary gripe that this looks “too much” like Fallout?
