    I have no idea how I feel about this, to be honest. Nolan being behind it gives me some optimism, but Amazon being involved more or less cancels that out. The setting being back in the west makes me hopeful it will look more towards the classics for inspiration, but then again a lot of the visuals and aesthetics in the trailer look a bit too modern rather than 1950s retro-futuristic.

    My problem with this teaser is the show take place in California. But no sign of the New California Republic. All they needed to do is show a NCR flag in the background.

    EDIT Also the NCR is not in the promotional materials from Amazon/Bethesda.

    The CGI looks a bit cheap. I wonder if this is Black Isle/Obsidian inspired or Bethsoft. Nolan strikes me as an OG fan. I hope it’s fun. I’m not expecting good, but Fallout has a fun and vicarious vibe that I hope this captures.

    I will remain extremely skeptical as the only good show adaption of a video game is Kirby.

      I’m excited by what I see in the trailer. But I always expect failure when it comes to game based stories. Hopefully I’ll be pleasantly surprised

        I’m gonna watch it. Plot-wise there is so much you could do. What will really make or break it is the props and atmosphere. All you gotta do is have some 1950/60s retrofuture.

    I want this to be good, but Amazon’s track record with Rings of Power, etc makes me think there’s no way it won’t be a disappointment.

      I feel like I’m the only person on planet Earth who really enjoyed the Rings of Power. 😥
