— Fallout (@Fallout) July 2, 2020 Read: N64 classic Pokémon Snap is getting a sequel on the Switch Ordinarily I’m cynical about game-to-other-medium adaptations. There’ something about games that just never seems to translate properly to other mediums — The Witcher might seem like the exception, but remember it’s mostly based on the books, rather than the games. Out of all the game series out there, Fallout is probably one of the few that has a good chance of being decent, given it has a recognizable visual aesthetic, a retro-futuristic apocalyptic world that reveres Americana. Its definitely got potential I don’t think several other series have for a pulpy, enjoyable show. There is some irony in the people behind Westworld heading up this series. In case you don’t remember, the last time the two series crossed paths, the creators of the Westworld mobile game were allegedly ripping off Fallout Shelter. Bethesda accused Behaviour Interactive, which worked on both games, of misappropriating its mobile Fallout code in order to make Westworld game. The two companies reportedly reached an amicable settlement in January 2019. Fallout is far from the only game series with a show adaptation in the works: The Last of Us, Resident Evil, Myst and Halo are all reportedly in some stage of production, though we’ve yet to hear peeps about any of them being finally released. Netflix is also reportedly working on an anime based on Cyberpunk 2077.
