    Sweet! Well get a season or two and then they’ll cancel it just like they do all the rest of the fan favorites.

    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.

            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.

    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.
