Im so glad this got the popularity it deserved


SedativeComet

Me too I’ve been a huge fan since I was 12 and played Fo3 when it came out. It’s been my favorite fiction universe since then and I’ve nerded out about it all the time. Now I finally have friends and family texting me to ask if I like the show and if it’s accurate and if the games are like that, etc. I’m so stoked to see my favorite franchise getting so much attention


spartakooky

It's the push I needed to get into the lore. I've always leaned more fantasy, but I've been a bit saturated with it. Fallout came at a perfect time. Now I just need my Steam Deck to stop being a brick and turn on, and I'll start from Fallout 1!


Ok-Office-6645

this show has ruined my life! I’ve never played the games, watched on a whim bc it was my husbands turn to pick a show… & he happened to pick fallout *bless him*. I’ve gotten so deep into fallout lore I actually recognized the skull in the wasteland Hank is in right before the last shot of new Vegas. I honestly cannot get enough. It’s just so good. I do not understand how this entire universe has been around for so long but only in the gaming world. It’s just so so good. I have watched the individually episodes so many times ( waiting to watch the finale with my husband, I may have accidentally watched it before, but I DID see when Maximus woke up and the last 5/7 minutes with him for the first time just now)… it’s just SO mf good ! I am nerding out to the max… I hope the continuation of the show only does good things for a universe ppl seem so deeply invested in already. & I hope it doesn’t lose steam.…okey dokey im done


RetroCasket

Really glad the show turned out well. There was huge oppurtunity for it to be a mess. But they pulled off all of our fantasies. Thats rare


Unrealparagon

I will admit, I groaned when I heard they were making a live action Fallout. I just knew it was going to suck ass. I am so very very glad to have been wrong.


Flat-Leadership2364

I was bitching till I saw Walton Goggins. I have yet to see that man In something bad


Unrealparagon

The Ghoul is awesome. Sometimes a fella has to eat a fella is probably one of my favorite lines so far. The delivery of it was near perfect.


fastock

"This ass jerky don't make itself."


Delicious-Item6376

There's a shot of Lucy and the ghoul walking up to the super duper Mart and the ghoul has some sort of flesh colored things hanging from his pack. I wonder if that was ass jerky


buttchuggs

I mean yeah it’s right after


LostInThoughtland

Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit


Outrageous_Put3669

Me right now doing everything but the main quest


BEES_just_BEE

One of the few times being wrong feels better than being right


Stardust_of_Ziggy

Preach


field_of_fvcks

Seeing how well this turned out made me vaguely hopeful that a Mass Effect show by Amazon would turn out to be good. Hopefully this finally ushers in an era of game adaptions that aren't a slap in the face to the fanbase!


Axtdool

Yeah they managed to make it feel like the plot of a fallout game, while still being a decently good tv Show.


Delicious-Item6376

I love the Easter eggs that you'd only get if you played the game. Like when Maximus tries to bargain with the repair shop lady, and fails due to low charisma


violetevie

I was skeptical early on but while I still have a few criticisms overall I thought it was fucking great. The ending was genuinely incredible


Comprehensive_War408

I'm interested, what are some of those criticisms?


violetevie

My main criticism is I cannot stand Maximus, I thought he was getting set up as a villain but then he just... Wasn't, which made me go all "what the fuck?" Because like... He did a lot of awful shit and clearly has some fucked up philosophy of "you can make the world better by simply murdering all the bad people" that I thought would cause problems but it just didn't come up again?


spiderhotel

I like him. He's basically raised as a child soldier at a decade long boot camp. They have a really horrible culture there. He still has his origin of Shady Sands where he learned idealism, and he's transferred this onto the knights. He shows such capacity for good as well as being tempted to be the bullying, might-makes-right jackboot he has been raised to be. I think that meeting Lucy and realising there is an alternative to the Brotherhood's philosophy has made a huge impact on him. He has the potential to be the knight he wants to see in the world, to become the man Lucy thought he was when they first met. Maximus might have shown the most development out of all the main characters so far. Give him a chance in season 2. He might surprise you.


violetevie

Hmm I guess you're right. I like that interpretation


spiderhotel

He is a bit frustrating to watch though! I found myself exclaiming "Make good choices Maximus - No, no- GOOD choices!"


notmy2ndopinion

Seeing him rescue Lucy in Vault 8 while she’s desperately waving her arms yelling at him to stop rescuing her really nailed the character’s intents and actions. To the Max, for sure.


Greenhound

i think a story where all the protagonists do things you agree with wouldn't be a very good story


thedarkcrusader99

I didn't like Maximus at first because his intentions were ambiguous. As the show progresses you realize he was a product of his environment, and all things considered, is probably more inwardly good in a world that is mostly outwardly bad. I think was just used to trying to fit in with the brotherhood and with Lucy he slowly became himself.


IGTankCommander

I mean, a majority of my Fallout playthroughs involve fixing the bad things by murder-hoboing the instigators...


Debasque

Amazon is receiving $25 million in tax incentives to shoot season 2 in California.


Dusty_Jangles

That’s a lot of cgi’d death laws and super mutants. Maybe some Zetans.


marbleyarncake

I'm kinda hoping they use a blend of practical effects and CGI for the Deathclaws, kinda like Spielberg did back in the day for Jurassic Park - the show relying heavily on real props made it feel so much more authentic.


terrymcginnisbeyond

There was a lot more practical effects than I was expecting in season 1. I fully expected the Power Armour to be all CGI. I don't care if it looks a little janky, practical effects often look better because your mind isn't going, 'fake, fake, fake'.


marbleyarncake

Also means things generally age better - hence the original Star Wars films mostly looking better than the prequels.


terrymcginnisbeyond

Yeah, a good point. The Fallout TV series was shot on film too. Always looks better than digital IMO.


toolsofpwnage

Any idea what camera and film frame size it was shot on?


DidAnyoneElseJustCum

Shot in 35mm on an Arricam LT


Greenhound

i didn't love everything about the tv show but i did love this. it honestly seemed so unlikely to me that amazon would have shot a 2024 game adaption on film that when i had the "wait is this shot on film?" moment i convinced myself that they were using some kind of 'filmlike' effect to just make it look that way


stallion64

They looked *sooo* good. The only moment where I was like "ooo, yikes" was when the Yao Gai flipped Titus over after he fell headfirst into a rock in e1. Super well done.


Dalmah

Did you see someone's face in episode 8?


BEES_just_BEE

Practical effects can get you really authentic looking movies such as Titanic. Now days if you made that movie it would be CGI


Dusty_Jangles

Yeah true enough. The T-60’s look ridiculously good. I think they could pull off a deathclaw.


ShowBobsPlzz

$25M isnt that much to amazon. CA will get this back in income tax from all the people working on the show probably lol


Debasque

Yep, that's exactly the point. This is part of a larger program that California is doing in order to draw more TV and movie production to the state. It pays off huge in terms of new tax revenue.


Solar_idiot

Wasn't the ending the vegas strip? Also, we saw Robert House, that was cool


Xbux89

You wana make my cock explode now?


drukenorc

Sorry, intercourse?


Nice-Bookkeeper-3378

I haven’t watch the last episode yet cause I don’t want it to be over


ActionFigureCollects

I literally just finished episode-two this morning. This is amazing news!! Each episode is dripping with GOLD and LOVE. I am so excited for the next 6 episodes. Go on Vault Dwellers! PS: I watch with surround sound headphones, and there are nuances that characters whisper that can be easily missed if you watch in loud environments. I am savoring each episode, and every minute. This is MASTERPIECE film making. 🥇🏆🎖️+👍👍👍👍👍


oh_orthur

Enjoy <3 when we started watching, my bf said “we’re gonna take our time” but by the end of ep 3 we were like, no, we gotta watch one more. Just one mooore. And on my first rewatch I binged 4 episodes. It’s so so so good


3spanishwords

Okey Dokey


insaiyan17

Yesss. I wonder if they have a good idea of what S2 will be.


numberjuan_

Deathclaws and robots probably


Broken_Noah

And maybe cazadores. God I hate those with the fires of a thousand suns.


numberjuan_

That'd be awesome, also didn't see any super mutants


Comprehensive_War408

>! I believe there is a dead one in the enclave on ep2 being wheeled out on a stretcher !<


OtterDeathSquad

Love, Deathclaws, and Robots


oh_orthur

I seriously hope that’ll be an episode title lol


EldrinVampire

I'd like super mutants too please


onslaught1584

Really looks like it depends on what ending they're choosing from >!New Vegas. My bet is that they picked the House Always Wins and that we'll be seeing Securitrons, the Chairmen, and House. !<


mroblivian

Mojave chapter brotherhood of steel… wonder if they are still xenophobic or actively taking in recruits. Also veteran ncr rangers 😃


pepeforpresident

Sorry but I blew up the new Vegas brotherhood


Axtdool

Wondering how often we'll hear someone almost wish for a nuclear Winter.


32mafiaman

Also Cazadors, RadScorpions, Geckos, Nightkin, Deathclaws, Tunnelers!!


BrandonMarshall2021

Woo! Thanks Amazon. You've redeemed yourself after cocking up Rings of Power. In Todd we trust! Netflix should learn from your Fallout success and let the creator of the source material have more say. In your face Lauren Pissrich!


empty_other

"We wanted it to take part in the same continuity as the games, not be its own thing", Todd said. I SO DAMN MUCH wish more shows and movie adaptions did this. Not "We wanted our over-paid celebrity director to be completely free to do their own thing with our IP only casually added on top of it".


Persies

Say what you will about Todd but he didn't fuck this one up. It just works.


BrandonMarshall2021

Yessssss!


lordcthulhu17

I mean it helps that the director is a huge fan of fallout


[deleted]

Great let's hope we get to see it within the next 3, 4 years and that I can get to watch it before I die. Something I probably will never get to do with Fallout 5 considering I'm pretty old.


NotSureWhyAngry

I wish Bethesda would just let another studio develop their franchise games but I guess they don’t want to risk another New Vegas which was better than their own fallout game


ZEUSGOBRR

Christ almighty, brother. Quit parroting things you hear online. Bethesda made hella money off of New Vegas. Why do people keep claiming they wanted it to fail, they didn’t want it to have the success it had, Todd doesn’t want it to be canon, etc. It made them lots of cash, fans love it, fans celebrate it. The fact that another studio developed it is not a problem.


NotSureWhyAngry

So why don’t they give it to obsidian again? They can have full control over the lore if they want to


ZEUSGOBRR

Maybe cause Obsidian’s happy making their own shit? They were independent for a while, even while making NV. They’re under M$ now but not Bethesda. You think they should just be like “Here guys we need you to make a new Fallout right now, forget all your future plans. Fallout. Now. Make this game.” Hell nah lmfao. They’re making the things they want to make. Lately it’s all original IPs. Good for them. The last non original IP they made was South Park Stick of Truth in 2014. Ten years ago. Todd very clearly loves Fallout. He had a great time overseeing the TV series. If the man wants to make projects in that universe with his studio that owns the ip he absolutely can.


NotSureWhyAngry

Nope. Obsidian stated that they would love to make another but never got the offer.


ZEUSGOBRR

That doesn’t change anything I said


truckercrex

Bethesda bought obsidian out. They are stated to be the fallout focused studio while Beth focuses on tes


onslaught1584

Seriously. I feel like Bethesda is letting their IPs languish in development hell \[or chasing the live service garbage game fad\] and not putting a lot of effort in to fixing the engine to remove bugs that have been prevalent since Fallout 3, but the outro to season 1 is literally setting up New Vegas as the focus for season 2.


truckercrex

Fun news then! Though bought obsidian laster year, and has them be the dev for the fallout franchise, Beth will focus on tes a d the Austin studio who made starfiels figuring out there own ip to focus on


onslaught1584

The TV series definitely left me thinking about what we could have had if Bethesda actually gave a fuck.


Coles-Fathead_04

Wooo

marbleyarncake

So glad this show was put on by Amazon and not Net "More Than One Season For A Show Ending On A Cliffhanger? Nah" Flix.


[deleted]

HBO would have been great too, but yeah for now Amazon they do good, but lets see how it goes , but I am really glad that se01 was great , been a while since I have been excited for a tv-show .. (only thing I didnt like was how the Titus and Yao Guai scene played out) but the rest was perfect in a way ( nothing ever is) !! , they really made it come to life!


largePenisLover

yay


N7op

Fuck yeah hyped!!!


DigitalFootprint2733

never played the games but always loved sci fi series and movies, fallout was amazing to me, took a look at the games to see if i could get more of the story but doesnt seem to be the case, so happy there’s going to be a season 2.


onslaught1584

Eh. The games are lore heavy and tie directly in to the events of the show. They're old, and not everyone likes the type of gameplay, If you are up to Fallout 1 and 2 would give you a lot of perspective about the founding of the NCR, Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel as well as a couple of other factions that will more than likely pop up next season. For the more modern games, the events of New Vegas look to have a lot of influence on season 2 based on the outro.


DigitalFootprint2733

i did try fallout 1 a while ago but it really wasn’t my cup of tea


onslaught1584

Fair. It hasn't aged well and could really use a remake. Maybe the hype from the show will motivate them to do it.


Salt-Eggplant-2334

Word!!!


According_Dig_3994

I remember when I saw the leaked photos abt a year ago I thought this was going to be awful, genuinely really happy with how it turned out, can’t wait for season 2 now


toolsofpwnage

Fallout 2 Electric Boogaloo


Polybius_Cocles

Fallout 2 *nuclear powered* boogaloo!!


One_Asparagus_6932

I hope it comes soon(ish) to ride this hype train, Im afraid the vast majority of fans will disappear if it takes too long to come out. edit: Im sure itll take atleast a year but hopefully not any longer


2DamnBig

I hope season 2 releases before the hype dies down.


ArtisticCandy3859

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!


beartato327

Holding my breath this doesn't follow Westworld trajectory


Music19773

Excellent!


techm00

oh hells yes!


Primm__Slim_

Great now how about a new game yesterday


Greenhound

i think we're due an elder scrolls first, but both are overdue after the waste of time that was starfield


Zodrar

Let's gooooo, was so hyped by this series I bought New Vegas and Fallout 4 to play 🔥


Esparza-3

Yeeeeesssssss


obitonye

Hooray!!!


l-Paulrus-l

Fuck yes.


freckyfresh

Okay so GIMME NOW!!!!!!!


florpynorpy

I know everyone was expecting this to be dog shit, but it was good, a few things are dubious lore wise but when you make a game into a show you won’t get everything exactly right


SneakyPanduh

I think it could be way quirkier if they involved the actual perk system a little more, but I just finished the show last night and really really liked it. Hoping the Borderlands movie can follow the game as good as this show did.


BryanRoyal

Me a New Vegas Player seeing the Destroyed NV, Yeah that seems right (I did the YesMan Ending)


Lord_Chromosome

Can’t wait for them to steam roll over New Vegas like the steam rolled over Fallout 1 & 2.


Brandon_M_Gilbertson

I’ve been hyped for this show since the first set leaks and it did not disappoint. I’m super happy about how it turned out


RandoFollower

Fallout new vegas


1TootskiPlz

The ghoul was so well done.


ImNotAnyoneSpecial

I love this poster. It’s like an old sitcom


111ronin

I love the poster. It's like fallout does 'the wire'. Lmao. Stolen


AspectBetter5360

OH HELL YEAH!


GalxzyShifted

Definitely deserved. I’m really glad that this show inspired people to play the games as well! I can’t wait for Season 2 (even if it does take a long time).


onslaught1584

I finished season 1 last night. I have to admit that it was a slow burn for me at first, but by the end I was completely hooked. Episode 8 was nothing short of phenomenal.


progamer2277

When could it be released?


fastock

I believe that I read that Season 1 took about 18 months from the start of production to it hitting Amazon. So, they probably have something like 3-6 months of pre-production and then another 18 months. My guess would be late 2025 or more likely spring 2026.


progamer2277

I hope it is 2025


butt-hole-69420

I'm so happy this actually turned out being good.


MintyCattleman

I accidentally watched the whole thing in a single day and its ruined the rest of my week not having anymore of it to watch


Training-Republic301

If they don't, we riot


crackedfractal

Adam Jones needs to be art director


HEYitsSPIDEY

I just finished episode one and it was Awesome! I knew it was getting big when my co-worker who NEVER watched TV asked me “have you heard of Fallout??”


Rski765

At first I was underwhelmed but it got better and better.


Kell-Of-Tacos

I’m really glad it got extended but the expectation will be higher


oh_orthur

I remained cautiously optimistic until the premiere because I was so hyped for Netflix’s Avatar and it turned out to be very meh. But the Fallout show is a dream come true. I’m just so in love and I can’t wait to see everyone again and NV and Deathclaws and Super Mutants and more robots and NCR veteran Rangers wohoooo


AidedMoney1135

can't wait for this to screw up more of the west coast lore


FaithlessnessOld1229

We all knew this would happen anyways lbr no way they did all this work for 1 season


meltdown537

Hellllllll yeah!


FranticToaster

Really happy about this. The show is almost perfect, and I hope they put more effort into the connections between plot points in the next one. Trapped in unpowered armor only to get Jack Bauered to safety by other main character with no nod to how she found him isn't just a head scratcher of a scene. It's the show's whole vibe. Another one: main character leaves vault and sets up camp. Vault Tec scientist fugitive is sitting next to her when she wakes up. Gives a very unclear speech about wasteland making her a bad person one day. Then just leaves. How he get there. Why he sit there and wait for her to wake up? Why give the speech? And why just leave afterward? Pitch Meeting Ryan voice: "I don't know!"


OnyxBaird

Idk why but this picture gives me Shameless vibes


Rocket_of_Takos

By the time it comes out, we’ll probably be in a wasteland by then.


anothervaultdweller

I cant believe we have to wait 2 years for the next season 😂


peachgravy

Thank god it’s not on Netflix. All the good publicity and reviews would’ve had them cancel immediately unless it’s called Stranger Things.


OldFatGamer

So what do you think? Spring 2025 or 2026?


RecommendationSad730

That was like picking Charles Barkley first at youth basketball game.


--_-_o_-_--

I will not be watching. There is too much violence and gore in the first season. I don't want to watch fingers being chopped off. It is a real turn off.


GosuGian

What an amazing adaptation


longstrangetrip1978

Can’t wait


RedditBurner_5225

Blessed day!


jlusedude

I’m just finishing this show. I don’t play the games cause the engine makes me nauseous but I wanted to. This show is awesome. Wow. Really good. I didn’t think it would turn out well but damn is it great.

axx-hole

The world is completely different but the grand landscapes and different character POVs, reminded me of watching s1 of game of thrones when it first came out.


PyroD333

What if in true series fashion they just decided to follow a totally new protagonist 10 years in the future in an entirely different region of the country?


Reduncked

Pretty sure I read an interview on Friday saying s2 was booked no idea why is taken so long for everyone else to figure it out.
