Amazon releases a teaser and first look at the Fallout TV show

Amazon has quietly been working on a TV adaptation of Bethesda’s popular Fallout gaming franchise. Although they’ve kept everything quite secretive, they just shared a first glimpse of the Fallout TV series to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary. The single teaser image has left fans excited and hungry for more information.

The image was shared on Amazon Prime’s official Twitter page, and despite giving us a sneak peek, it didn’t reveal too much. In the image, we see an open vault door with several vault dwellers standing in front of it. There seems to be another person leaving the vault with what could be a pip-boy attached to their arm. We can also see a pair of feet close to the open door, suggesting the usual battle to escape the vault. 

From this image, we can see it takes place in vault 33. This is apparent from the vault number on the back of the dweller’s jumpsuits. This contradicts some of the leaked set images from earlier this year which showed vault 32. As such, there is some speculation as to whether both vaults will play a role in the series. Or if Amazon just decided to change the vault number.

Amazon first announced that they were working on a Fallout series in 2020. However, filming only began in July 2022. So far, there hasn’t been an official trailer or release date, but we’re hoping to see a premier of the show in mid-2023. This is not a confirmed date but is based on similar TV adaptations.

We know that it will star Walton Goggins from Justified and The Shield. There are some rumors that he may play a ghoul – but nothing is confirmed. The other known actor in the series is Ella Purnell, the voice of Jinx in Arcane. The writers and directors heading up the series are Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner. From their previous projects, they seem a good fit to head up a franchise known for portraying a heavy contrast between horror, bleakness, and absurdity.

Even with the teaser image from Amazon, we still don’t know much more. We’re eagerly awaiting any details to be confirmed and will keep you updated as the project progresses. However, from the leaked Fallout images we’ve seen, it looks to be quite exciting.

Amazon rushes to remove leaked images of a new Fallout series

Fans of Fallout 4 were all abuzz recently when new leaked footage of an Amazon Fallout series appeared on Reddit and Twitter. While the news spread on the internet like fire on a straw pile, Bethesda and Amazon quickly moved to have all traces of the images scrubbed. That doesn’t mean we don’t know about it, though.

The leak first emerged on Reddit, mentioning details of a farm and Vault 32 in the new Fallout series. Sadly, if you head to the subreddit now, the poster indicates that he decided to take it down. It seems they’re afraid that someone from Amazon or Bethesda will take action.

It wasn’t the end of the leak, thanks to us adoring Fallout fans. Hunter headed to Twitter to share the same footage of the Fallout series, receiving quite a few positive comments. Once again, if you head there, you’ll see that Twitter removed the images due to copyright issues. Well done, Bethesda and Amazon. Well done.

All these actions to take down the Fallout series footage may have been in vain. All of us waiting to see Fallout as a series or movie on TV will be speaking about this leak for many months to come. When they finally release a trailer or news about the launch, we can say we knew all about it months ago.

Recently, we watched in amusement as Blizzard also scrambled to remove leaked details about Diablo IV. It seems like we gamers don’t know how to keep a tight lid on confidential information. Can you blame us, though? We’re just so excited about new developments that we can’t wait to tell the world!

Brand new exciting trailer for Fallout: London mod appears

Fallout: London isn’t a new game or an expansion pack to Fallout 4. Instead, it’s a DLC-sized mod made by non-Bethesda developers featured in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic London. The new trailer states a release window in 2023, and it reveals stunning imagery of what we can expect.

The mod has been in development for a few years now, but it seems the developers are ramping up for the official release. The latest Tweet reveals there will be a panel podcast where they will discuss as many details of Fallout: London as they’re willing to share. 

From what we’ve seen in the new trailer, the expectations are already high. You can see that London has fallen, so to speak, and even the famous London Bridge is in a bad state. Many of the scenes look similar to what we’ve seen in Fallout 4. Even the sentinel bots make a return, but there are a few new elements.

For example, you’ll notice what looks like Ents from The Lord of the Rings, those massive tree entities. Well, they used to be human, and one has a branch poking through his mouth out the back of his head. There’s also a hint of knights and sword fighting, making me wonder if we’ll have some Arthurian quests. I’ll be keeping my eye out for a round table.

It’s exciting to see a new Fallout title appear, even if it is a mod. I don’t usually bother with mods, as I’m worried it will mess up my original game. However, Fallout: London looks so impressive, there’s no way I’m going to miss out on this one.

In the meantime, I’ll continue playing Bethesda’s latest chapter of The Elder Scrolls Online, the High Isles. This past weekend saw a unique real-life quest where fans had the chance to pull a sword out of a stone. I’m seeing a pattern appear here….

New Fallout 4 Mod reimagines London as a nuclear wasteland

Fallout is one of the all-time most-loved gaming series to come out of Bethesda. But the most recent iteration of the classic survival game is a relic from 2015, Fallout 4. Even if you count the release of Fallout 76, an online-only game that deviates from the rest of the franchise in the worst ways, the most recent iteration of the Fallout series is still 4 years old. Needless to say, fans have been clamoring for something new. But since Bethesda seems preoccupied with Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield, fans have decided to take it upon themselves to essentially create a new Fallout game. 

Fallout 4 DOWNLOAD

It’s called Fallout London, and it sees the incredible story of survival in a post-nuclear apocalypse world told from the perspective of our neighbors across the pond. Fallout London isn’t a new game. However, it’s actually just a mod for Fallout 4. But so much attention to detail and dedication has been put into creating this experience that it presents like a brand new official title in the Fallout series. 

The decision to explore how the nuclear apocalypse would have affected our friends in London is a deviation from the classic Fallout formula. Previously, we’ve only been able to explore the American perspective. We do have a slightly different relationship with the subject matter of Fallout, though. For years the threat of nuclear war was so real and ever-present that it changed America’s psyche. Fallout preparation practically became an American pastime as ingrained in our DNA as Thanksgiving. 

Fallout London gives players the chance to see London and all her iconic monuments in a state of disaster. In addition to that, the mod also explores the effects of the Resource Wars on the British spirit, all neatly packaged with a character creator and an action-packed escape from a nuclear bunker. As an added bonus, players will even get to listen to the iconic voices of Sylvester McCoy and Colin Baker, the Sixth and Seventh Doctors from the British science-fiction staple Doctor Who. This experience couldn’t get any more authentically British than that if you had a stuck recording of God Save the Queen playing somewhere in the distance in the nuclear wasteland known as Central London. 

Fallout London is still in ongoing development. The official website for the mod states that there are no initial plans to make the mod available on platforms other than PC and that, as of yet, a specific release date for the final product is difficult to pinpoint. In the meantime, here’s our guide to Fallout 4 before you try Fallout London.

How to play FALLOUT 4

If you love Bethesda games like Skyrim, you’ll have heard of the post-apocalyptic action game Fallout 4. You’ll find it available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, bringing adventure and horror to fans worldwide. What makes it such a pleasant experience is that you’ll spend hours exploring The Commonwealth.

Let’s show you how to play Fallout 4 so you can join the fun. We’ll also provide some tips and tricks, as well as how to use mods.

What is Fallout 4?

Fallout 4 was released in 2015 by Bethesda as an action RPG set in an alternate world as a post-apocalyptic wasteland. You play as a unique character that you can customize before you head out into The Commonwealth. As with Skyrim, it features a Creation Club with items made by modders and approved by the publisher.

The story of Fallout 4 starts in 2077 where nuclear bombs explode in your area. You take shelter in Vault 111, where you, your wife, and your son are cryogenically frozen. When you awaken in 2287, your wife has been murdered and your son is gone. You move out into the new wasteland to find out what happened to the world and your family.

How to play Fallout 4

Before you head into the action, there are some things you need to know. Here’s a couple of aspects to helo you play Fallout 4. 

Getting started

Firstly, you’ll need to decide where you’d like to download Fallout 4. For PC, it’s easy to acquire as long as you buy the game first. The console versions are available on the PlayStation and Xbox stores, and you can install them directly onto the systems.

How Fallout 4 works

Fallout 4 delivers a vast open-world that you’ll explore while fighting enemies warped by radiation and collecting items. You’ll need these objects to either enhance your character or craft new weapons and armor. While you’ll progress through the linear main story, there are also plenty of side questions for various factions.

There’s also a building mechanic in Fallout 4. You’ll find workshops and settlements, which work differently. In a workshop within a small town, you can upgrade and build while requiting workers to help you. You’ll also receive some side quests.

In settlements, you’ll have a few workers or farmers just helping to sustain the land and produce food, which you’ll need to survive. You’ll receive a message when an enemy is attacking the land, and you’ll need to fast-travel to get there on time to save them.

You’ll also meet some factions or leaders along the way. They’ll give you unique quests for special items that you won’t be able to acquire anywhere else. You’ll need to finish all their missions for the 100% completionist achievement.

Key bindings and controls

It’s essential that you pay attention to the key bindings and controls. In the beginning, it may be tricky remembering where everything is on your keyboard or controller. However, it won’t take long before you get the hang of playing Fallout 4.

What is the main goal in Fallout 4?

It’s easy to become distracted in the vast Commonwealth and everything it has to offer. The main purpose of Fallout 4 is to find out what happened to your son. All your primary quests will lead you towards that answer, but you’ll need to help others along the way. It means killing monsters and enemies and finishing missions.

Fallout 4 tips and tricks

Now that you’ve seen how to play Fallout 4, we want to provide some tips and tricks to make the experience more pleasant. Here are a few things you should know before heading out into The Commonwealth.

Fallout 4 doesn’t follow past games

Firstly, you don’t need to worry about missing out on previous titles. Fallout 4 has its own storyline that has no connection to the past games. Therefore, you can continue if it’s your first Bethesda game in this series.

Good and bad graphics

While Fallout 4 presents stunning graphics for its time, there are a few moments where it looks terrible. You’ll see a glitchy moment now and again, while some proportions go completely off at other times. We don’t blame it for having these issues, as it’s such a massive game.

Watch your environment

The top aspect to keep in mind is that you’re in a post-apocalyptic world where there is radiation everywhere. Even in your power suit later on, you’ll hear a click sound to let you know the environment is dangerous. Don’t run into new areas without first checking if it’s safe.

Don’t skip mission dialogue

We know how frustrating it can be to listen to the NPCs talk when you’ve played for over 20 hours already. However, there are many missions that require you to perform a specific function or respond in a certain way. It pays to take your time and hear what they have to say. 

Search everything

When you’re in the Wasteland, take your time searching every nook and cranny for items. There are unique weapons and objects hidden away, which may fetch you a good price or improve your stats. 

Save regularly

Fallout 4 has an autosave mechanism to ensure you don’t lose data when you die. However, it doesn’t save regularly, and you may need to redo many of your missions or search massive areas over again. It’s a pain, but save as often as you remember.

Take your time

When you’ve invested a full week on Fallout4, you may feel the need to just get to the main mission. Even if you’re a beginner, we know it can be intimidating when you see the large map. Take your time and investigate every location. It will level you up and make the ending so much easier to complete.

Focus on a single settlement or workshop

It can be tempting to upgrade every single settlement you come across. You’ll soon see how overwhelming it can be to protect them all and spread your resources. Save this task for the end, and start with only one workshop where you place all your focus.

Enjoy some side quests

Don’t rush to finish Fallout 4. If you get through the story too quickly, you might not be powerful enough to beat the bosses later on. Do yourself a favor and do some side quests for the factions. You’ll have better stats and weapons, and the ending will be a walk in the post-apocalyptic park.

How Fallout 4 mods work

One last aspect we want to cover for how Fallout 4 works is modding. Many online sites have plenty of mods for you, such as Fallout 4 Nexus. These files add items to your game, such as unique weapons and armor. You can also improve the weather and lighting, or make the visuals look more realistically.

Generally, you’ll download the Fallout 4 mod folder to the location on your PC where you have the base game. After you extract the files, you’ll need to launch the game through a special mod platform. Once done, the scripts will run, and you can enjoy the new experience.

Get ready for a long adventure

We hope you have enough patience and stamina for Fallout 4, as it takes long to complete it. Sure, you can run through the main missions, but you’ll be missing out on so much. We recommend you take as much time as you need before heading to the end.

Fallout 4, Soma, and other exciting game previews: let’s Click-Swipe-Play

This week on Click-Swipe-Play, I am out of the office. So, instead of our normal review show, I am going to share with you four games that I am interested to see before the end of the year.

Soma, is my September pick. Developed by Fractional Games (Amnesia: The Dark Descent), this takes the company’s signature creepy style and attention to detail but launches it into space (Correction: Soma and Tocoma are oddly linked in my mind, however, while Tocoma is set in space, Soma is under the ocean – sorry for the confusion). I am hoping for a lonely sci-fi experience that mixes Event Horizon, 2001, and Alien (or maybe that should be The Abyss).

In October I am excited for Transformers: Devastation. I shouldn’t be on my list, Transformers movies and games have done nothing but disappoint. But this focuses on MY robots in disguise, 80’s G1 characters, all beautifully cell-shaded and beating the living tar out of each other in a title made by action masters Platinum Games.

November is my most predictable choice – Fallout 4. It’s obvious, but Bethesda Game Studios’ RPGs have proven themselves time and again. Plus, after Skyrim, the stakes are high for them to produce something truly special, and hopefully more technically competent.

To round off the year I am going with Hitman. With Just Cause 3 out the week before, this was a tough choice but I am hopeful it will surprise– if only because Square Enix are saying that “the experience begins” on December 8th, which is an odd way to announce anything.

That’s is it for my picks. There are comments below of course, so do let me know if you think there is something more interesting coming up that I missed.

It’s back to the standard review format net week. Subscribe so you don’t miss that, and I will see you then.

Fallout 4 set in Boston according to leaked documents

Can we believe this, coming so soon after the ‘TheSurvivor2299‘ countdown hoax? Documents leaked to Kotaku apparently confirm Fallout 4 is in development, and set in Boston, Massachusetts.

It’s not a clear cut rumor though. The leaked documents are for castings, searching for people to play characters in a game. These documents mention various settings and details known in the Fallout world, without actually mentioning the game. Kotaku is sure the documents are real, although the scripts and details in casting documents may not make it to the final game.

Despite some uncertainty, the Boston setting keeps coming up in Fallout 4 rumors, first circulated in 2012. That seems quite likely now. The other details published by Kotaku, like character names and events are much less certain.

The Fallout series of games began in the 90s, and quickly gained a cult following. Set in a post apocalyptic nuclear wasteland, they are role playing games that see you venture out of safe underground vaults to explore the dangerous world above. The first two games were in isometric 3D, but that changed when Bethesda released Fallout 3 in 2008, with Washington, D.C. realized in gloriously bleak 3D. The last Fallout game released was 2010’s New Vegas.
