Popular culture as well as technology. The transistor and microchips are never invented. Everything electronic still uses vacuum tubes and is enormous. This is all due to it being heavily inspired by the Golden Age of Science Fiction and the nuclear paranoia of the 1950’s. It’s basically what people of that period thought the future would look like.

⁠@@tykohnpretty sure the transistor bit isn’t true. Both transistors and microprocessors exist in the Fallout universe as items the player can find, plus the universes artificial intelligences simply couldn’t exist without them.

The transitor chip was never invented. . .so, things never evolved as our world did

​@@J0J0ReferenceTransistors have an odd history in the fallout universe. Mainly due to the devs, both interplay and bethesda, not being consistent with their lore. Check out the fallout wiki page for transistors and you'll see.

@@J0J0Reference No that's the reason why future computers are still stuck on MSDOS. Transistors were not invented that's literally the whole shtick, AI is suspension of disbelief

He's a dumbass

Yeah 😆

Same with the New California Republic which is a new government & should be in this series due to it being set in Los Angeles.

They are. In one of the still photos released you can see a ncr flag.

BOS was former military if 76 didn’t butcher the foundations

Yep. Brotherhood of Steel is more of a techno cult that wants to keep technology out of the hands of plebs. Pretty much assholes who think they're the only ones smart and wise enough to use pre-War tech.

The BOS in the trailer is the government, We know they are because they have T60 armor and the predwyn airship. Plus the show is canon so it has to take place after fallout 4, Meaning the BOS ending was canon, Meaning they are the government in Boston at least

She was also Jackie on Yellowjackets on Showtime.

​@@SwordTune And of course Cesars Legion.

Yeah, Fallout is set in a world where technology kinda stalled for a bit to the point the 1950s was around up into the 21st century after World War Two. In a world like this, we would be living in a world where futuristic tech met the 1950s aka retro futurism right now. There’s not much known of the pre-war world which I feel like there should be more exploration to it since a world like that is really damn interesting. I do hope the series does more detail in pre-war history.

Correct

Yeah Fallout’s quite a bit more niche than fans of the series realize. Sure the fanbase is large, but the games definitely aren’t “your mom could recognize it from the cover art” mainstream.

I think the best way to start from fallout 3... wait... hmmm...

@@da_pawzI think she’s better off starting with Fallout New Vegas since it’s much more closely related to the West Coast and Fallout 1 and 2’s lore and the fallout show will take place on the west coast so she’d be much more likely to pick up on stuff she recognized from her playthrough

No way. Fallout 4 is the most easy for new comers. Something tells me she won't have the patience for NV stiff and dated gameplay

Agree, new Vegas is a far better game than 3 and 4 and the writing in those will be underwhelming after watching the show. New Vegas writing and quests are just straight up more interesting and superior.

also this show happens about 200 years after fallout, some years after fallout 4 ( game that happens around boston)

The first bombs fell on 2077, after the China - US war. This was some time after the US liberated Alaska when China invaded it. The _first_ Fallout game was set a little after 2150, F2 about a century after that, and the rest of the games followed thereafter. I first thought that this show would be a loose adaptation of F1, since it also happened in southern CA. But it seems that the events of the show happened after F4, which _would_ open up a lot of possibilities for new exciting stories. Especially after the events in _Fallout: New Vegas._

​@@mayavmarinhoI believe this show takes place 9 years after Fallout 4 and it takes place in Los Angeles.

Thank you. Far too many people in this comment section are regurgitating that fake fact that the transistor was never invented.

I always thought the transistor was never invented

@@AR-yd2nd No, they eventually made transistors. Can't make pipboys and power armor with vacuum tubes.

I can't concur since Agents of Shield was a pretty great show. I doubt how much they would be into Twin Peaks or Blue Velvet. I like it, but that weird Lynchian shit doesn't work for everybody.

ditto! I wouldn't call myself an expert in FO, but I have racked up a wee bit of time in FO 76. About 2,200 hours so far (I unapologetically love the game!) with a tiny bit of time in FO 4. I really love the Fallout universe, with its quirky humor and social commentary, not to mention the cool weapons! Can't wait to see the Fallout show!

the community yeah, it's good... but bugs still exsist :(

76 didn’t mess with the origin of the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood was still very much founded by Roger Maxson after discovering government FEV experiments at the Mariposa military base. The reason why the Brotherhood was in Appalachia was because Roger used one of the few still functioning satellites shortly after the Great War to contact an old friend he served with, Elizabeth Taggerdy. He convinced her and her band of military remnants to take up the same name and cause as his Brotherhood.

@@J0J0Reference ahh thanks I was confused

Is it going to be like other DLC like mods though? I've never tried one much less cringy than Frontier. :x

​@@DinkLover69Look for the trailer here on youtube, Fallout London. There is also a website , just google it. I can't tell you the adress without KZfaq direct deleting it.

@@DinkLover69 It's a full game overhaul. No one knows how in-depth it'll be. But it seems like a full on different game (obviously very similar to 4, because it obviously uses it as the framework for the mod)

Ohhh, really?? I’ve been out of the FO4 modding loop for a bit because I’ve been playing something else else for once. I know we’ve been looking forward to Fallout London for ages!

The Enclave is kind of the government.

@@elricofmelnibone8256 The Enclave is a legend in their own minds Or, rather, they *think* their the government. hehe...I get it that they are the last vestiges of the US government. Dig through the lore at The White Spring in FO 76, for instance. But I find it to be pretty satirical that, in many of the FO settings, the Enclave swaggers a lot and acts like they are still the US government. But they are at best a threat to other groups and more likely just a mysterious, overlooked remnant of the US government that isn't governing anyone. Try telling Caesar in FO 3 that the Enclave has jurisdiction over him. ha! In Appalachia Foundation is more of a "government" than the Enclave. But I'll give the Enclave this much: in FO 76 they are a pretty good source of mutation serums and cool weapons plans. With that, they are not completely useless. Just kind of useless. Got to climb their military ladder in order to launch nukes. But after that, they're really pretty meh...

@@elricofmelnibone8256The NCR is quite literally a national whereas the Enclave are nothing but remnants that hide in bunkers.

Yeah, the too clean aspect is the only critique I had. Especially the power armor… way too shiny/pristine! But I’m so hyped for this!

@@citizenerased1439 The Brotherhood are an organized military force, they have the ability to clean their armor lol

consume product then get excited for next product

Indeed, and to scorpions!

It does, but the fact that it has literal human fingers in its mouth makes me think it’s some kind of FEV abomination. Akin to the centaurs from Fallout 3 and NV. Humans twisted into wholly unrecognizable monstrous shapes.

@@J0J0Reference yeah at first I didn’t realize it was fingers so yeah what you said makes more sense

JJ Abrams didn't do anything on Person of Interest, just like he didn't do anything on LOST and just like he didn't do anything(in fact even less) on Fringe. That's the only reason Fringe turned out decent.

Show.

Deathclaws are next to supermutants in terms of Fallout’s most iconic enemy, so I imagine they’ll have to
