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.

Remember, Brotherhood of Steel: Don't feed the yao guai! That is all.

It's going to be good. I can already tell it has The Boys humor in it and the surprise violence. It will be amazing.

I'm kinda scared that the trailer was knee deep in "from the ____ who did _____ ."

Granted, it's a teaser trailer, but it would have been cool to see a little more of what this show has to offer. e.g. The Boyz is great, because the story adapted from it's source material was already interesting. I'd love to learn more about the story of this adaptation, esp since there's a lot they'd have to do to turn the non linear, choose your own adventure source material into a non-interactive story.

Feels like the showrunners and story writers would have the opposite challenge of, say, The Last of Us. There, it was all about retelling an existing story and resisting the urge to reinvent too much.

Here they'd need to pick one of many stories and fill in a bunch of gaps.

Hope it works out 🤞🙏

Even though each game is a player driven RPG, there's a canon "through line" of major events from 1 to 2 to New Vegas. 3 and 4 are set far enough away or in a different enough period of time that the plot impact is more minor.

Personally though, I hope this is less of an adaptation and more of a "side stories in the setting".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

From what I've read about the series it's actually set 4 years after Fallout 4 events. So it's more "side stories in the setting" rather than straight up adaptation.

Kind of a random though but do you think we will ever see shows done in a more connected way? I mean as of now, all the shows are always done in secret. Why not involve fans in the process? Publish videos from the set as you film and get feedback? Publish scripts, test footage and so on. Yes, the element of surprise would be lost but wouldn't it be nice to see how the show is made and they see the final product? And maybe even influence it a little bit? I would love something like that. What do you think?

Edit: interesting. Looks like only I would be interested in seeing how a show is made.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

So you want to be like those execs that interferes with the production of the show/movie?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Same reason I don't ask people what they think about my work while I'm doing it, it's a pain in the ass.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (5 children)

No not really. There's a reason you hire experts to do a job and I for instance hates it if someone try's to explain to me, a designer, what a good design is...
