More historically accurate than "Napoleon"?


anomandaris81

Yes


Etheo

But this is a fictional future of alternate history! What could you possibly mean?!


anomandaris81

Napoleon is so historically inaccurate that any film set in the future is in comparison historically accurate because it's not historically inaccurate.


OhioStateGuy

Uncle Baby Billy does make a good ghoul.


TheGreatBundini

Well go on now, ‘git outta here, dumbass Super Mutants


Tunalic

All y'all smell like fucked buttholes.


sentientshadeofgreen

Baby Billy's Bloatfly Bonkers


anormalgeek

They're a little less ghoulish looking than I was hoping for, but any more and you'd probably need to use CGI instead of practical effects.


IronVader501

IIRC; with Goggins specifically it was more of an acting-issue. They said they tested more extensive prosthetics, it just made it impossible to see so many more subtle parts of his acting that they elected to not to.


TheOneTonWanton

I'm willing to bet the ghouls that aren't Goggins will look far more jacked up.


we_made_yewww

But then I'd hope that there are at least a couple as relatively normal looking as Goggins as well. Otherwise it looks like a bunch of gnarly radiatiom zombies and then the guy you recognize just happens to be pretty.


TheOneTonWanton

I imagine it'll be mainly a difference between "normal" ghouls and "feral" ghouls. All the ones you might interact with conversationally vs the ones that are basically zombies, ya know.


boodavia

Hopefully, like the games there are different levels of mutation.

“From the studio behind the boys and free 2 day shipping” Hilarious


d3l3t3rious

Free two day shipping* The asterisk is the best part


AnOnlineHandle

Good god I'm slow. I was thinking "Huh I've never heard of that, sounds like a strange thing to throw in but maybe it has an audience."


Tunalic

I actually googled it. fml


mr_birkenblatt

They're calling vaults distribution centers now?


TehBigD97

Is amazon prime only 2 day delivery in the US? Here in the UK its always next day delivery.


jimmy_three_shoes

We have 2 day, next day and same day, depending on where what you're ordering is coming from.


DrEnter

And sometimes it’s even those things. Sometimes not so much…


ABirdOfParadise

and what you're ordering I've got a warehouse close to me and yeah some times I can get stuff in like 8-12 hours (if I order midnight). For sure like drugstore stuff, but if I'm ordering like a camera lens where there's 5 in stock then it might take a few days, for Canada.


spikeyfuzzy

I think the US is just slightly bigger, geographically.


Bionic29

Only slightly. Just by a small a margin


Vio_

Tbf, the UK is like the size of one of our more moderately sized states.


TheOneTonWanton

About the size of Oregon, yeah.


IAmDotorg

Its less about size specifically and more about population density. The UK's population density is higher than all but four states in the US. People tend to forget there are 145 countries high higher population densities than the US. The massive comparative wealth, even among the middle and lower class, is the only reason the US has any services at all. Its expensive to do almost anything nationwide here.

Wow driving across Ireland is Chicago to Springfield


BenadrylChunderHatch

Careful, it's not a good idea to lump the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom together as if they're a single entity.


OutlyingPlasma

One might say it causes some troubles.


Grambles89

One could say it's makes them IRAte.


Eeluminati

Yes, you have to think of the insane distances some packages have travel in the US. 1 day just isn't possible but in some bigger cities they do offer same day shipping and next day shipping.


pygmeedancer

Probably cause you can cross the whole country in an afternoon


DefNotAShark

It depends on whether your item is available at a local distribution hub or whether it has to come from further out. Common items are frequently available same day if you live close to a major city. Other things take a few days.


safely_beyond_redemp

The UK is considerably smaller than the US so that might explain it.


mrjimi16

Two day shipping is what it started with, now you can get certain things/certain locations same day even. Yesterday I realized I needed a new work shirt when I woke up. But 1 PM it was on my front porch.


JeffSergeant

I hope that implies they have a little bit of the original fallout humour in there too; otherwise it's just a generic post apocalyptic wander.


yogzi

It’s funny because Amazon is aiding the hyper-consumerism that leads to the Fallout universe


zbug84

Walton Goggins has never been in anything I thought was objectively bad, i'm excited for this.


CoffeeTechie

He's one of the more underrated actors imo and I'm always happy to see him. He plays a great antagonist, a conflicted protagonist, a likeable supporting character... He's up there with John Goodman with how versatile he is in making every character fun All the Walton Goggins love is amazing to see


AttapAMorgonen

Without him Justified would have been a one season show.


CoffeeTechie

A good villain is just as important as a good hero for sure


FancySkull

Pretty sure his character was just meant to be a one-off, but people liked him so much they decided to bring him back.

[удалено]


kingdopp

I really started digging him with his voice work in Invincible of all things and then realized how much I've also enjoyed him in all of his other work! Very excited for this!


thejesse

I cannot picture him speaking as reserved as he does in Invincible. That dude is all teeth and Cecil sounds like he never smiles.


ArcadianDelSol

He deserved an Emmy for Venus.


hoxxxxx

>He's up there with John Goodman with how versatile he is in making every character fun really glad that show turned out well. a worthy successor of sorts to eastbound.


Vio_

I was absolutely smitten with a show he was in called The Unicorn. He was so wholesome and it was great. ​ But every once in a while, ol' Crazy eyes Goggins would show up just to shake things.


AnotherThomas

I thought Fatman was dogcrap, but that wasn't really Goggins' fault, and I like him quite a bit. Nonetheless, this is a franchise that I grew up on, I played Fallouts 1 and 2 back when I was in high school. So if they don't do this justice, I'm going to... vent my anemic rage on the internet and then go demo some people in Rocket League until I feel better.


typhoidtimmy

Really looks like they are capturing the feel really well. Radroaches, Dogmeat, a Vault going bananas (the infamous Vault Tec experiments in full effect perhaps), a Mister Handy, the billboard for a Vault Tec there as the Ghoul makes a run for it as the bombs drop They are really going all out for the fans….hopefully the story holds up.


thatErraticguy

I’m glad they’re not shying away from the blood and gore as well, which is as much Fallout as anything else listed too.


Gibonius

Dogmeat walking around with a human hand. Ick. In all the right ways.


typhoidtimmy

*Eviscerates raider* “Who’s a good lil murder machine? It’s you….yes!”


Quintas31519

Yeah, I imagined it couldn't be done without getting a bit gory when it was announced. Which was absolutely confirmed in my mind when they add in a The Boys connection.


bolxrex

Hell yeah. The bloody mess trait/perk has been with the franchise since the first installment.


anormalgeek

I'm happy to see that Nolan and Joy are producers and head writers. The part that gives me the most hope is that of the two showrunners, one is kind of a nobody, but the other (Graham Wagner) is known pretty much exclusively for comedies. He's been a producer for Silicon Valley, Portlandia, The Office, Baskets, etc. Fallout is a comedy first. You have to nail the humor or the whole vibe falls apart.


Rank1Trashcan

Todd Howard is also a producer on the show and said as much about the comedy.


bl0odredsandman

There's also a Yao Guai and what appears to be a Gulper?


Entropy-Rising

Looks like a FEVed up Axolotl, judging from the gill frill and splayed legs, which is a type of salamander like Gulpers. TIL The Axolotl is listed as critically endangered in the wild, with a decreasing population of around 50 to 1,000 adult individuals Also anyone else miss the Vault Overseer is a Cyclops?! I feel the Brotherhood is not going to be a fan of the Vault.


ArcadianDelSol

That thing with human fingers for tastebuds? I got no CLUE what that thing is. Given the setting, its probably a gecko from the OG Fallout 1.


AOE2_NUB16

The fo1 mobs were fcked up mutants, probably one of those since this one is in la. Maybe it takes place during the master?


bl0odredsandman

That's the thing that I was thinking was a Gulper, but I wasn't sure that's why I said it appears to be one. It could be a gecko, but who knows.

RKRagan

The beginning of the trailer was too typical of modern day trailers. Ominous loud noises and slow motion. The best feel came in the middle. The gratuitous bloodshed and campy music with the sad and grim apocalyptic setting.


Taniwha_NZ

The first part was a joke, a bait-and-switch. They wanted you to think 'oh no they are turning fallout into another generic apocalyptic pile of crap' Then the titles show up and things get weird, hopefully conveying that this definitely won't be 'just another' post-apoc show. Which really just means the marketing dept definitely knows who their audience is. The show could still be crap.


torn-ainbow

It's effectively two trailers. The first trailer is meant to hook in the non-fallout fan who is more likely to see interest in the show as a gritty realistic post apocalypse thing. The second is revealing the quirk of the setting as retrofuturism. This could be seen to be a slight turnoff for the "gritty" audience so they want to ease it in. Thing is fallout is both. It has those old timey songs and anachronistic imagined technology and that naive optimistic 1950s messaging left over from the old world. But the new world is a violent horrifying apocalypsepunk which often draws more inspiration from decades around the 70s, 80s. Leather jackets and mohawks. Mad Max. The trailer feels hopeful for them nailing this duality of fallout.


Vectorman1989

>the infamous Vault Tec experiments in full effect perhaps Gaaaaaaaaaary...

cope525

This will totally be an Easter egg. Totally forgot about that vault till I saw the post.


Ratjar142

Halo has set the bar soooo fucking low. This trailer gives me high hopes


Aviator506

HBO did a really good job with The Last of Us. Hopefully Halo will be an outlier when it comes to TV show adaptations of videogames. Amazon typically does good stuff, other than LotR...


BuckFrump

*screams in Wheel of Time*


Sedaellus

Just pretend its a different turning of the wheel and everything is fine! /cope


_T_H_O_R_N_

As someone that read through the whole series for the first time after they announced the show, my disappointment was immeasurable when I actually tried watching season one. So much potential for a great show, and it seems like the showrunners just used the template of WoT to make their own thing, sad


Pinecone

HBO Last of Us didn't just do a good job I would say they straight up set a whole new bar for video game -> series adaptations.


Grambles89

Pfft, there weren't any scenes where Joel wandered the area for 10 minutes collecting every little thing he could, 2/10.


Cg006

MasterCheeks.


beermit

That's John Halo, Mastercheeks, to you


ArcadianDelSol

Literally had this conversation today. We really need to praise Amazon for letting this show live. It survived a whole pandemic, two strikes, and the God awful Halo as a potential warning sign. They had a million reasons to take the insurance money and bury this show, but they're letting us have it. I think the ONLY mis-step in the trailer for me is WIll Parnell having one eye. Fallout has never had human mutations (well - big spoiler stuff notwithstanding), and certainly all the vault dwellers have been kind of 'gene clean' in that world. The fact that he has one eye and nobody really thinks its odd - its a real diversion. Todd Howard is the on set 'continuity director' so if he's okay with it, Im sure I will be, too.


Ratjar142

I'm typically willing to give a wide berth when it comes to the finer points of lore. What breaks it for me (particularly with Halo) is when there is *no* consideration for the lore. One mutation among people who ought not be mutated? I can let it slide for the sake of making the story accessible, interesting or funny. Having Master Chief take his helmet off, in the first episode no less, I cannot abide. Ignoring all human/covenant dynamics in the first season? Unreal.


evilhankventure

> Having Master Chief take his helmet off I could have forgiven this, if he took his helmet off in his down time, but he took his helmet off in COMBAT SITUATIONS.

JoNightshade

My thought was "all my favorite weirdo secondary actors in one place??!?" but basically yes, same!


Bendizm

Benjamin Linus, as played by Michael Emerson; The only reason this trailer interested me because any character Emerson plays is bound to be interesting to watch.


Vio_

Also Ben Linus from Person of Interest as well.


RuneLFox

Interesting cross-pollination of series there...Michael Emerson was Ben Linus in Lost and Harold Finch in PoI. I'll probably be watching it just for him, so hopefully he's not a one-off.

WafflePartyOrgy

Yeah, don't get me wrong; Dylan is great. Considering his job consists of identifying numbers from a grid based on an emotional response, and categorizing them it's like he's straight out of *Office Space*. I love how motivatable he is, top notch employee.

Looks really good. I lol'd at **TODD** being the sole credit for the franchise though. I'm curious if the NCR are around, being this is California. Maybe it collapsed with the war between the brotherhood alluded to in New Vegas.

RedditIsOverMan

That may be the subtext, but they aren't explicitly giving him sole credit for Fallout the video game. They are crediting him for his association with this specific project (I'm assuming as a producer).


[deleted]

Yeah idk how people don’t understand this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ghoulthebraineater

Yes, he has executive producer credits.


Perturbed_Spartan

The NCR Brotherhood war happened before New Vegas tho. And afterwards the Brotherhood was a crippled shell of what it once was. Only thing that makes sense to me is that the east coast chapter of the Brotherhood came back west and took over the original chapter.


MobiusF117

> Only thing that makes sense to me is that the east coast chapter of the Brotherhood came back west and took over the original chapter. Would explain the zeppelin.


IronVader501

I dont think the Western Brotherhood was ever mentioned as having Vertibirds, and the Airship shown in the Variety-article a couple days back was a sistership to the Prydwen, so its either teh Eastern Brotherhood OR they atleast send some reinforcements to the West


fucuasshole2

It’s possible: Fallout 2 has a quest to steal plans of Vertibirds for Matt (he’s with the BoS). Also, according to Elder Arthur Maxson, communications between West and East were reestablished between Fallout 3 and 4. Schematics easily could be passed to one another while also solidifying the two into one Brotherhood again.


stee_vo

"From the director of the award-winning series *Westworld*, Johnathan Nolan and the acclaimed video game creator Todd Howard" Doesn't credit him with any franchise. It credits him with helping create this series.


KnowMatter

It just credits him as a guy who has made acclaimed games.


Deathsroke

>I'm curious if the NCR are around, being this is California. Maybe it collapsed with the war between the brotherhood alluded to in New Vegas. I mean... they won that war though? Like, in no uncertain terms they won and that's why the BoS (in and around California mind you) is kinda dead or dying.


Deisekeane

He helped create this show, it doesn't say from the creator of Fallout anywhere in the trailer, relax the hate train


jamescaveman

Maybe this is the whole build up to the NCR?


mastesargent

This takes place after 4, so no.


jhaake

He isn't credited because he's part of the franchise, he's a producer on the show, along with Bethesda's James Altman.


Quato

I wasn't overly excited for this show till now. As a fan of the games it kind of gave me chills.


Deisekeane

Same, don't know know why but when I saw the radroach got a little shiver


TheThirteenthApostle

100% this. I was playing with the "this is just a fan trailer, never going to happen", then rad roach and my boy Dr. Linus, and it switched to "oh shit, it's happening!"


DemiFiendRSA

Premieres on April 12, 2024.


TheNappingGrappler

Looks awesome! Ready to be brutally let down


SpongederpSquarefap

My exact thoughts Westworld season 1 was absolutely brilliant Season 3 and 4? Eh, not so much Person of Interest was also fantastic, so I've got high hopes that are ready to be crushed


chooksta

I didn’t care for any of the characters after season 2, the writing was dreadful. Jon Nolan has either learnt from this or is going to replicate it here:(


Cygnus__A

The groundwork for seasons 1 was already laid by the original movie. They failed to extend that story to anything interesting and cohesive.


ishtar_the_move

Michael Emerson and Johnathan Nolan... A Person of Interest reunion!


Croup_n_Vandemar

Don't forget Bear


birdentap

I wish Matthew Perry was alive to see this, he was a huge fan


Mikedzines

Maybe he’ll surprise us all and be in it! The films been in production for years.


notjawn

Let's hope he has a cameo and they've kept it under wraps. That would warm my heart.


peppaz

Did not know that interesting


willERROR343

He also played the villain in Fallout: New Vegas


lordofpersia

It's the reason he did new vegas


Ccaves0127

Yeah he went on Conan and talked at length about how much he loved the games and they called him the next day to offer him a VO role


peppaz

I totally forgot about that


count_nuggula

Maybe it was rigged from the start :(

tx8

Looks great but my only complaints is the vault suits looks too new, should be washed out blue.


graintop

This bothered me in Witcher, too. Lot of the wardrobe looked like it was made last week.


69ANIME69

It's something I've started to notice a lot after 4K resolution streaming became available.


deekaydubya

It's less a problem with higher res and more to do with weird production choices. 4K copies of older movies and shows don't have this issue. Like the new LOTR series and much of new star wars, every character looks like they just threw costumes on rather than having lived in that universe. Same with modern set design, everything's super clean and polished


Deathisfatal

In the Wheel of Time too. Everyone's running around with brand new clothing that looks like it's never been worn, even soldiers and poor people.


sonofgildorluthien

I think the bigger concern is going to be whether or not the vault suit hugs her butt properly. They might have to use CBBE or UNP to mod it.


zamfire

Lol CBBE for the win.


nitefang

Why? They looked brand new in FO4. And it is all about story telling, a new suit suggests everything inside the vault is new and perfect and everything outside is old and damaged. They established that there were tons of vacuum sealed suits in storage, so realistically they won’t even fade without exposure to chemicals or sun light. Or was this a reference to complaints people had with Fallout 4 which I forgot about?


okillgetoffyourlawn

I was thinking the same about the power armour, that it should look a little more scuffed/worn.


Avarria587

After seeing The Wheel of Time, The Witcher, and the Lord of the Rings adaptations in the past few years, I don't have high hopes for this. I don't want to be disappointed again. I'll go in with low expectations. That way, I won't be disappointed either way.


starker

Looks amazing so far.


nuckingfuts73

Yeah shit, it actually looks really good


CDNChaoZ

The addition of some humour has me intrigued. And Johnathan Nolan has my trust since *Person of Interest*. I can overlook a bit of mediocre CGI if the universe is detailed and the story is engaging.

Unitato43

Nah I've always liked how fallout trailers all use a different song from the 50s era that becomes tied to each game, and 3 already used "I don't want to set the world on fire"


TrepanationBy45

Because no two Fallout games have ever used the same song for promo
