While I am quite excited about the Walton Goggins-infused Amazon Fallout series, the show debuted some promo art for the project ahead of official stills or footage and…it appears to be AI generated.

    Well this is already taking points off for sure. But let’s see if the show is good. If they stay true to the games and create a truly unique show, maybe it will be worthwhile.

      The current fallout developers aren’t even staying true to the games anymore so my hopes aren’t high for the series

      How will they stay true to the games? It’s not The Last of Us where you literally play through a story. Fallout is all about exploring the wasteland at your own pace and shaping the world as you see fit.

      Every game has had times when I’ve sat and seriously considered a choice that had massive consequences and mixed both benefits and steep drawbacks. Like in The Pitt, where you have to decide whether to kill a baby’s parents in front of it to liberate the people enslaved there. On a tv show, they’ll have the main character… mull it over and make a decision for the audience? How do you even translate that?

        Exactly. They just have to follow the in game universe and how it operates. Obviously they can not have us as watchers dictate what happens but instead transfer that look. , Feeling to the person on screen. As long as they get the universe of fallout correct it will do good. All they have to do is make a good story if they fail at that then gg.

        I don’t personally care so much about strict (some amount is needed) game-lore following but I would want to have it feel the same if that makes sense.

        I want to feel the wastes and the personalities and ideologies that have reigned supreme since the bombs fell. I wanna feel that mystery and that goofiness that I’ve come to love from each of these games.

        Can’t flop harder than 76 did and I got a feeling Bethesda is gonna take extra long on the next one, hence this tv show to satiate for a bit (maybe who tf knows it’s Bethesda and Amazon man)

      Without someone pointing it out you’d have not even noticed that it’s AI generated. As most people don’t look at this art longer than a second.

        I probably wouldn’t have but if there are errors as big as those and they’re trying to slide it by me, that’s pretty slimy.
