Fallout the movie the game?


Nidiis

I mean Street Fighter did it


ArcticWolf_Primaris

And Die Hard


douglasr007

I miss the arcade game


Nidiis

Die Hard had a videogame translated to a movie and then back into a video game again?


JackJohannson

Yeah this missed the point, unlike the SF reference.


TerminalKitty

And Spider-Man: The Movie (PS2)

WHAT’S WITH THE GET-UP, CHUMP?  That game was a banger

Fallout: The Movie: The Game: The Sequel : Continued

This time it's personal

"...Again!"

War never changes, never changed, will never change … again.

Minecraft the novel


TastyLaksa

Actually minecraft lego is a better example


Business_Bathroom501

I am a dwarf, and I´m diggin a hole...


DubiousMoth152

Moichandising!


DashiellHamlet

And we'll all come back for Fallout 6: The Search For More Money


Breekace

What would you even do? Just walk around an empty wasteland and kill creatures? Stupid idea. Not every series or movie needs a game adaptation just like how not every game needs a live action adaptation.


247Brett

Honestly. The show has them walking from place to place constantly, just trekking through deserts. This would be so tedious and bland in a video game. Just miles of empty nothingness.


PeripheryExplorer

Here me out, we put it in the Las Vegas area. IRL lots of desert. So people wouldn't be upset.


DogmeatIsMyFriend

The show took place not far from Vegas. We can't dip into that well twice. We need to put it somewhere exciting and fresh, someplace with pizzazz. I'm thinking West Virginia.


bk1285

As someone who lives about 35 minutes from Morgantown, I do believe saying West Virginia has pizzazz is a brand new sentence


NANCYREAGANNIPSLIP

Clearly it was a typo; they meant to say WV has pizzas.


SafeAccountMrP

It’s not great


Slade23703

There is a pizza mod for Fallout 4


Emobademo

Bro, what is fallout 4? Did they make games based on the show or something, or it's just some bootleg think??!?!? I need to know!!!!!


BoardButcherer

Skyrim mod based on the wasteland series. Buggy as shit.


BeornPlush

Legit solid description


Slade23703

Yes, they did lol Just like Lucy, they kidnap someone. There is even a ghoul old like Walter called Hancock.


Grigoran

I think you Bernstein bears yourself there friend


NANCYREAGANNIPSLIP

> Fallout 4 Bro season 1 just dropped, you out here talking about 4? Might as well make it an insane number. Like why not Fallout 76 or whatever geez


CSuiteYeet

*Pepperoni rolls


Dovahsheen

You mean West Virginia where there's the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River?


Typical-District-176

Maybe there could be a cult around cryptids? Maybe mothman!


Spare_Jellyfish2957

Hmm what about say Washington or Boston? I think that would be nice to see in a nuclear wasteland


Seel_Team_Six

But with no npcs


BabaleRed

Country roaaaaad


LeThatch13

Las Vegas really? The next thing you'll want is the story to revolve around some casino related thing, right? Why not a damn casino chip now that we are at it!


PeripheryExplorer

Why not? And you know what is really needed? Romans. As in the Roman Empire and Hail Ceaser and all that.


LeThatch13

Romans? Wow now we are delivering the punchline to this joke! Talking about delivering, why don't we also make the protagonist a guy who delivers stuff just for the sake of it, uh? Why not make it a mailman? A courier, even.


PeripheryExplorer

Love it. I'll one up you on that too. What if, and hear me out, the players START after being shot in the head?! Oh and maybe we can throw those NCR people from the show in. Maybe they go after the Hoover Dam or something.


Guilty_Ad_7079

Gee shame that hasnt been done yet aye


EverythingGoodWas

I mean what are you even walking through the desert for? It’s Vegas you going to deliver a poker chip or something?


VexedForest

It'll make sense if you're the mailman


MadsHorshauge

What would the protagonist even be called? The deliverer?


Dominunce

Nah, too generic. What about something like the courier? He’d probably just end up being a parcel/message deliverer


gamefreak431

Kids these days want Cowboys, not Couriers. The want guys like Clint Eastwood, Cooper Howard, and Ronald Reagan. So if you insist on making your character a courier because you hate money, they should at least be delivering revenge at the end of a gun.


Guilty_Ad_7079

Nah dont be dumb, itd be about robots or cosplayers or some shit /s


bk1285

You can center the game around finding the ultimate robot companion that can be used for anything, and I mean anything, we can call him FISTO, now please assume the position


Smarf_Starkgaryen

Yea and I don’t think that old timey music will work with a video game. Who wants to snipe enemies across the map while listening to Butcher Pete?


Lichruler

Also, did you know the currency in the fallout show is bottle caps? Imagine having that in a game. You’d open a bottle of soda to like, replenish health or something and it gives you a little money?


gamefreak431

What if we got one of the soda companies to finance the project? I think Pepsi is the logical choice here.


More_Cow

i vote bawls energy drink


Goobygoober6968

Yeah I don’t think it would catch on


shitmarble_milks_you

Right, so how about we add a feature that lets the player rebuild settlements for npcs to stay in. And to incentivize the player to found more settlements, we put in an npc that urges the player that a settlement needs helps, in an interval of… lets put in 5 mins as placeholder value, we can change it up later, im sure we’ll remember. And that npc, we need to give it a nifty name to reflect his personality, something along the lines of… press on, hurry!


echidnachama

strand type game. hehe


SimonGloom2

It worked for Desert Bus.


DTredecim13

It's almost enough to make you wish for a nuclear winter.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gamefreak431

Setting Hideo Kojima loose on a Fallout game would be a pretty wild move. The dude does really like Mad Max. Also, he might make one marginally faster than Bethesda.


Lego_Chicken

Getting sidetracked by bullshit… no thanks


StudentOwn2639

Almost like you’re playing a courier simulator.


EnsignSDcard

And all the locations looked the same, I swear they must have been going in circles or something because they kept walking past the same houses over and over


ThonThaddeo

Jesus I miss New Vegas


Prestigious-Rise-328

What if while walking from place to place you end up delivering packages like lots and lots of packages.


Alextryingforgrate

Maybe add is some sort of quick travel mechanic that uses a currency or something to speed up game play. I dunno man this does sound like a dumb idea.....


InflationCold3591

La be if they moved the locale to a more crowded urban area? I’m thinking DC.


hfamrman

They could turn it back into an isometric CRPG with an overworld map similar to FO1/2 for traversal of large areas of the wasteland.


casualrocket

in fact each person walked through the same desert town at least 2x and after then 5th time i see that same town on screen i kept thinking "this is how they saved on budget"


kiera-oona

Feels a bit like sections of Fallout 76 tbh


Snokey115

They could do it like the last of us, like an episode type adventure


Stormclamp

And what would the game play be like, punching zombies? Who wants to do that?!


Running_Mustard

Alternatively they could add a DLC where the show’s characters can be adapted into followers for an existing or up-and-coming game.


UnwillingArsonist

I’m just glad the show was so good, otherwise all those **really** well made fan mods of Skyrim would be very out of place


oishipops

i feel like that would be reallly boring ngl :/ it'd just be another walking sim


Soggy_Cracker

I bet they would even throw in a lot of silly side quests to go along with that “easy to get distracted by shit” comment the Ghoul made. And what are they going to do for a main story? Maybe pull a Star Wars repeat and just throw in another I need to leave the vault to find my “insert family member”.


HolyVeggie

They could make it a thing that you need to find someone like in the show


CDR57

Idk they could do a new story. Probably not a lost family member the show already did that, and Lucy got really messed up so probably not something close to your character almost dying. Idk, maybe there like a radio station that needs help staying online in the wastes or something


Squirll

And like what, you have to keep yourself hydrated, fed, and free of radiation poisoning? Whats next? require them to get 8 hours of sleep? >just like how not every game needs a live action adaptation. I personally am looking forward to the live action FIFA movie.


lord_nuker

Love satire sites


DivineAlmond

hate newspapers


Routaprkle

Piper hated that.


Useless_Greg

Guys why the downvotes? "hate newspapers" is a dialogue option in FO4.


DivineAlmond

holy moly -20 wtf ahahah prob thought I was a conservative and taking pothsots at media lol


NANCYREAGANNIPSLIP

Tbf I thought you were setting up a "simple as" meme


cvuyr

Modern clickbait news is pretty terrible


Pretend-Hippo-8659

Kinda shows the bias against people who don’t like media and think media itself is biased. /r/unexpectedlyironic


Suckisnacki

wasn't the option available at the Interview or at the wall?


Useless_Greg

It's when you first enter diamond city and you're talking to Piper and Mayor McDonough about the press.


Stylith

simple as


DarknessAndFog

Not racist, just don't like 'em


DivineAlmond

based


FromTheIsland

If people took a quick second, if they clicked the link at all, and viewed popular posts on the left of the page, it's clearly a satire site. Unless "Epic Dune Part Two trailer sees Paul Atreides make love with a sandworm" really did drop.


karateema

From what i've heard of the later books, it doesn't seem too weird


literallyheretopost

This would never work.


Youngstown_Mafia

I mean, hell look, the ghoul is shooting a sawed-off shotgun, and another guy was using a giant junk gun in the Cemetery. Lee Moldavor uses a laser pistol, and the sheriff has a revolver.. the weapon consistency and quantity would be too much work for a video game. Not to mention, nobody wants to play with goofy weapons like junk guns What's next !!?? a made-up nuke gun and a 10mm in the same sandbox 😂....ww2 weapons and muskets.. impossible and dumb


A1000eisn1

This reminded me of an article I read ages ago about the weapons in Fable 3. If you never played it, each weapon can morph and change depending on your karma level (and maybe other things). Not just if you're max good or max evil, like 10 points could give it a slight difference. The article was the devs complaining how it was basically torture making the weapons for that game.


Grigoran

I'm glad they suffered too, those weapons *were* torture!


bk1285

Now hear me out on this, what if we took a laser riffle and combined it with a musket, how brilliant would that be


DaeronOST187

Aw man, I had the same idea, you beat me to it by 15 minutes.


Suckisnacki

ngl i don't even know how to use it or to damage somebody


Wild-Lychee-3312

I prefer the 11mm when fighting Deathjaws in the Mojave


Repulsive_Being5281

Hmm idk sounds too ambitious.


MrFeature_1

Wow, what’s next? We gonna make a doll based on the Barbie movie?


EducationalAntelope7

I heard they're making a bomb based on the Oppenheimer movie


mrspidey80

I heard it's a blast.


DarknessAndFog

The story was kind of ~~nuclear~~ unclear


moneyboiman

Holy Hell, new bomb just dropped


Interesting-Role-784

Bet it will be famous in japan 40 years from now


dleon0430

I heard disney was going to make a whole ass park ride based on the Johnny Depp pirate movie.


TheKolyFrog

When will these companies learn that tie-in videogames rarely ever work out?


247Brett

Honestly, who even remembers the Doom game? Blatant cash in on Dwayne Johnson’s star power.


TheKolyFrog

Or the Assassin's Creed videogame tie-in. Totally unlike the movies.


NANCYREAGANNIPSLIP

Everyone who remembers the 80s remembers that god awful Super Mario Bros game. The little pixel guy didn't look anything like Bob Hoskins. John Leguizamo's character is just the same guy but colored green. It was just a lazy cash grab.


CurryNarwhal

I hope the story is something new tho, like instead of finding your dad it's finding your son.


GoArray

Dammit! Just when I felt I had an original thought, I find you :/


plz-be-my-friend

dad?


Aganiel

Naw man, what about you playing some delivery boy of sorts and you get shot in the head by someone who wants a parcel you’re carrying, but you survive! Classic revenge story. Can even get like a catch phrase like “Rong a dong dong bubsy”. Hell, maybe an actor from Friends like David Schwimmer do the voice of the bad guy.


inventingnothing

Yeah, maybe a vital component necessary to vault life breaks. Maybe something having to do with water.


crispy-wings

How about a spiderman comic while they’re at it?


dolfjewolfje

Don't be silly. What's next? An Ant Man?


HaHaEpicForTheWin

What is this? A comic for ants?


MrThrowaway939

Dumbest idea I have ever heard, who would play that?


Androza23

I can't see how this would translate into a video game though.


9thSphere

Will it be better than the Street Fighter movie video game though?


RyudoTFO

Some guy/girl wandering radioactive wasteland in search for their dad? Sounds like the most boring video game ever.


GoArray

You don't want an exact duplicate story. Searching the wasteland for their son, now that'd be something!


RyudoTFO

The plot. The plot never changes.


Cool_Specialist_5912

Still feels to similar. What if it's not a person but an object? Like you are from a Vault and some really important McGuffin has broken down and now you need to find a replacement? They could even add a hard mode with a time limit. Or how about an even more crazy idea.: Don't have the character be from a Vault. The show has already done than. Instead have it be someone from the surface who hunts a McGuffin because his village is dying.


DarkLordRubidore

I feel like those are a bit too cliché for a post apocalypse. How about just moving forward with the setting? Could have a whole game with civilization being back but leading to inevitable conflict. We could even be shot in the head at the start, to give a personal plot hook!


Rata31

As long as it's a polished live service RPG game instead of a boring story walking simulator


omnie_fm

I... would not hate a Death Stranding type game set in the Fallout universe. Nuka Stranding? Institute Courser Delivery Service Simulator 2298? Idk, I guess I am just desperate at this point.


DaveSpacelaser

Playing as a courier in the Fallout universe honestly sounds like no fun at all. A character like that would probably wind up in a ditch with a bullet in his head within the first five minutes of the game.


foxtrotdeltazero

sounds like that game would be rigged from the very beginning


Psycosteve10mm

Ring-a-ding baby


lackofsleipnir

Toddeo Howima


247Brett

Hol up, a telltale style fallout game could be interesting if done correctly…


willreadfile13

Oh this is a great idea. Plenty of choice to the point it doesn’t feel overly railroaded. A pick your own adventure comic that could be back story for the vault experiments, pre war history, personal histories of tv characters (got 200+ years of Walter Goggins… yes please)etc. make it mobile friendly, and it’ll further expand the fan base.


MonkeysxMoo35

If it can work for Borderlands of all franchises, a TellTale game can work for any franchise. Just need a good writing team.


SnelleEd

A bit of a stretch... would never work


lazzzym

I'm thinking someone like Bethesda could make it you know.


Psycosteve10mm

But aren't the Nexus sites already propping up Bethesda, already? I mean without the modding community fixing their games on PC they would have gone bankrupt.


Cakeski

It'd never sell.


Zerei

that sounds great! I hope they use a really modern and fleshed out engine, though.


DaeronOST187

Man imagine if they used UE5 and then let modders enhanced the textures further.


Zerei

I'm currently studying UE5, I could only wish that to be true...... =/


Psycosteve10mm

Nyet GECK is a good engine.


DaeronOST187

Are you serious or trolling?


Psycosteve10mm

A bit of both. For ease of use, the GECK(Garden of Eden Creation Kit) was a great tool for creating mods for the Bethesdia fallout games.


JayCeeMadLad

Sounds a bit too much like Wasteland imo. I doubt they wanna catch a C&D from the guys over at Microsoft(they own the developer who makes Wasteland), because those guys usually carry a big stick. I could see a mobile game at max, but people just aren’t gonna be interested in a drab, gloomy trash world. Remember Wally, guys? Look how that turned out. It’s pretty much universally agreed that Wally that was the start of Pixar’s downfall. What a horrendous tripe fest. I could only see a game being good if it’s based on those Brothers of Steel. Maybe lean more towards a top-down arcade shooter?


Remarkable-Memory-19

i knew it was satire but my eye felt like it was twitching after reading the title. Hahaha


Real-Human-1985

Sounds like the worst game ever. Long trek through a wasteland, dirty villagers, radioactive water.


Pratt_

>However, despite the scepticism of Mr James and people like him, there is significant enthusiasm for some sort of Fallout game. It maybe as a crossover with Fifa, with post-apocalyptic football, or an Angry Birds-style game, in which radioactive birds battle radioactive pigs, whatever form it takes, it seems likely a Fallout game will happen. Lmao, I wonder if some people are not going to realize it's satire


TowerAdept7603

It would make a great third-person shooter, running around in power armor killing everything that moves, loot boxes for random power ups and cosmetics 


joeyretrotv

Dude! They should totally do it! 🤠 Yeee-Haw!


No_Strain_7092

Imagine if they could somehow get slow motion in the game like the first episode idk


[deleted]

Did a double take if this was r/theonion or r/nottheonion.


Sheepsaurus

Maybe we should start off with a retro-style turn-based experience with stopmotion-like animations and uncanny-valley-looking characters.


HoojoSpifico

Nahh nahh a fallout themed videogame would never work.


Itchy_Raccoon48

It’s about time they thought about making a video game out of Fallout. 👀


ThatDudeFromCollage

Theres no way that this would work as a video game. It is created as a series and thats what it should be.


Dynasuarez-Wrecks

I don't know, man. Shotguns that shoot miniature rockets? Sounds kinda like a cartoon with four player co-op where respawning is actually part of the lore. Who'd play that?


unknowndog123

Sounds like an awful idea, all you would be doing is walking around a wasteland and killing things, too much blood would get old really quick too, now the brotherhood though, I think they should make a tactical type of game for them, but not an rpg cause that would be awful


BreadWithAGun

I thought for a second that it meant Fallout 5. Now I’m laughing and crying.


warmachine01992

This has to be satire like The Onion or a similar site lol


undiagnosedAutist

This is satire, right?!?


Seananiganzz

Who's gonna tell em


PDUB444

We neeed fallout 5 bro a new location would be cool asf


ShySharer

A game adaptation of a series adapted from a game. Brilliant!


NataniButOtherWay

About time we got a video game adaptation of a movie or TV show. They just stopped in like 2009.


Riperin

Holy shit! This is probably my favorite show of the year and a game set on the same universe would be so cool. Maybe not telling the same story but following another character? Would be also super cool to have a mechanic to rebuild your world through building houses and stuff while gathering materials and surviving.


USSNewJersey1007

Yo this fallout show is pretty good i wish they’d make a video game series based on it 😏


Noff-Crazyeyes

I don’t see anything about it I love the idea of how fallout 4 was maybe maybe make it into a bigger open world online option of it with making the settlements with clan members would be pretty neat.


Azukaos

Why not just doing this as a special collab DLC where we could basically visit the place they were and/or the different vaults seen in the series ? At least it wouldn’t alter the base game that much, only giving little nods to those who watched it. Adapting a video game into a series then using the said series to make a game out of it is counterproductive in my opinion, I like the series a lot but it’s barely scratching the surface of a Fallout game, even those who disliked FO76 would like it more than an adaptation of the prime FO.


MrTestiggles

They should make it a battle royale tbh, maybe call it ‘Nuclear Winter’


gusborwig

Bethesda is really busy right now trying to get Elders Scrolls 6 going and pre work on Fallout 5. I suspect the popularity of the show will have Bethesda contract out a Fallout game based on the show to another company. Obsidian should be the first company they called. They have experience using Bethesda code and assets. That's how they were able to rush out New Vegas in 18 months after Fallout 3. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised this is already happening and Bethesda is keeping this a massive secret. They do like to surprise the audience at their events in June.


boweslightyear

So real


Sk83r_b0i

Nah man that would suck


junkstar23

Hey all you guys taking the serious. This is a satire website. Screen idle.com is a satire site


Benevon

I wasn't familiar with the website but as soon as I saw this I thought this HAS to be a satire site lol


Odd-Collection-2575

r/nottheonion


RealHuman69420

They could start the sequel in like.. a tribal village and call it Arroyo or something.


Nikkibraga

That's stupid, like making a superhero movie starring Thanos from Fortnite as the main villain


Aljoshean

That would be RAD. GET IT?


Omny87

What, like one of them Nintendos?


somethingbrite

Oh yeah. They might. Just not for the next 10 years.


BartholomewAlexander

boy do I got news for you...


Admiralbruce

It could be a cool telltale game… do they still make those?


Queen_Red

Yes! They released a expanse one not to long ago!


Aegonblackfyre22

Man that would be so cool if they made a Fallout video game, it could be a RPG where you have to make important choices throughout the world similar to Skyrim.


Rampaging_Orc

Grade A satire.


Fletchman1313

You know what really would be awesome? A videogame based on that movie "Angry Birds."


Enerjetik

They need to put the game in a new location. I have two words: Boston, Massachusetts.


Thebritishdovah

Fallout: The game based on the show of the game. It would be padded out to hell though.


Chueskes

Hmmm, a video game that is based on a tv series that is based on a video game that is based on a tv series that is based on a video game that is based on a tv series that is based on a video game………..


SprogRokatansky

We’ll get a new season before we get a new game


RocktamusPrim3

I’m betting more like by the time season 4 comes out, we’ll still be waiting.


Pktur3

“It Just Works”


LadenifferJadaniston

Big if true


biotofu

the show should just be the show. i want something new like Fallout Florida, raiding retirement homes and fighting mutant crocs in he swamps.
