111 Video Game Details in the Fallout TV Show

[Music] oh hello [Music] [Applause] there adapting a video game into a TV show is a pretty daunting task but Fallout is a more difficult Beast than most a series of six massive RPGs four of which are huge open worlds filled to bursting with companies creations and creatures there's a hell of a lot to address in order to get the world just right in live action and yet that's just what the Prime video show does it's a series teaming with game accurate props ideas and locations we've dropped a few extra points into perception and crawled through all Eight Episodes to find a Megaton of cool details 111 of them in fact hey that's the Vault from Fallout 4 that's definitely a coincidence and not something we purposely set up naturally talking about all of these references means complete spoilers for the entire season so go seal yourself in a bunker if you'd rather not see them or just close this video if that's easier anyway here's 111 details in the Fallout show that have been pulled straight from the video [Music] games every Fallout game opens with an iconic ominous line from actor Ron pman war war never changes pman doesn't reprise his role as fallout's voice of Doom nor does the show open with that line but it does get uttered in the final episode war never changes more iconic than perlman's line is the Vault boy thumbs up which the show provides An Origin story for both in terms of the scientifically debunked reason to use a thumbs up during a nuclear attack and how Walton goggin's Cooper Howard uses the gesture as part of a voltech commercial the please standby messaging is another Fallout staple frequently used in cutcenes and loading screens here it's projected across the walls of Vault 33 during a disastrous attack talking of Vault 33 its interior is pretty much inch Forin accurate to the Vault seen in both Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 the doors windows mailboxes and even the emergency override switches are near enough identical to the one seen in the Bethesda games this classroom may have the paintwork in architecture of a Fallout 4 era Vault but it's reminiscent of the room that you take the goat exam in Fallout 3 the vaults are also outfitted with the Vault boy themed Foos ball tables from Fallout 76 although I don't think impaling your fellow Vault dweller on them is their intended use up on vault 33's top floor we have an entrance chamber that features all of the familiar equipment from the games including the moving Gantry control panel and the Cog shaped vault door itself which uses the same heavy duty lift mechanism seen in fallouts 4 and 76 talking of vaults as we discovered in the games each one was developed as a twisted social experiment in the show's finale a group of corporate suits discuss ideas for different experiments Each of which references a vault from the games the plan for an overcrowded Vault results in Vault 27 while vault 87 is used to turn people into super mutants and Vault 106 suffers the psychotropic drug experiment the idea for separating parents and children may be a reference to Vault 29 where all the Dwellers were under the age of 15 there's a lot of earning potential with the end of the world while the show isn't directly adapting any specific Fallout story it does replicate sequences similar to those seen in the games the first episode's nuclear detonations are naturally comparable to the explosion scene in the prologue of Fallout 4 also drawing on the events of Fallout 4 are the cryogenic pods discovered in the show's Vault 31 which are vaguely similar to the ones the inhabitants of Vault 111 are frozen in the Catalyst for the show's story is Lucy's father going missing which just so happens to be the inciting incident of Fallout 3 in both instances the father is played by a beloved actor Carl mclan in the show and Liam Nissan in the game come on walk to Daddy the quest to find her father demands that Lucy leaves the Vault resulting in a replication of bethesda's iconic step out moments in which the player character exits the Vault and steps into the Searing Bright Light of the outside world it wouldn't be Fallout without it similar to Fallout 3 a powerful technology is used in the finale to bring back hope to a little corner of the Wasteland in the game it was a water purifier while in the show the NCR uses a cold fusion device to activate Limitless Energy across the Los Angeles region what do you suppose your Brotherhood would do with infinite power during our introduction to Lucy she talks about her personal achievements in repair science and speech these are of course actual skills from the games although it's unclear just how many points she's put into any of them it certainly seems she dropped enough into speech though because in episode 5 Lucy is able to pass a persuasion check and talk her way through a dangerous situation with a couple of fiends Vault 33 Sports posters for special the RO system that governs your primary RPG stats in every Fallout game this is the very same poster that can be seen pinned up in the Appalachian vaults in Fallout 76 the kids in the first episode watch a TV show called grognak The Barbarian a reference to a fictional character that pops up in all of bethesda's Fallout games in Fallout 76 the grognak comics provide perks so we can only assume that these kids will be dealing out plus 100% melee crit damage by the time the episode is over talking of perks by the amount of Gore splashing around in this Scene It seems like the ghoul has the bloody mess perk equipped Midway through the series Lucy upgrades her voltech jumpsuit with a shoulder pad and a little more armor it's reflective of every player's journey through all of the games in which you start with nice clean blues and gradually upgrade with battered Wasteland finds over time the show features several sequences in which past events are revealed through the use of Po corpses a narrative technique heavily used by Bethesda through all of the Studio's Fallout games poor allocation of your skills in the games will make life a bit harder a lesson Maximus hasn't yet learned it seems you're over encumbered mate either increase your carry capacity or drop some of that junk you've been picking up a sign on a wall in Philly says that the store owner will Salvage buy sell or trade these are all inventory options from the games maybe Maximus should sell a few things here to take the weight off his shoulders I noticed that you have an assortment a voltech equipment that same store has some fun Easter eggs in stock including this pit booy 2000 Mark 5 which is the RIS mounted computer that players wear in Fallout 76 Lucy and her fellow Vault 33 dwellers all use the pit boy 3000 Mark I based on the model from Fallout 4 and just like in the game it's fully kitted out with features such as monitoring of Bio status so that you can keep track of your HP a Gea counter to help you stay aware of things that will obliterate your literal DNA a handy map to help you explore the Wasteland and a tracking system to guide you towards your objective a flashlight will illuminate your path through gloomy dungeons while this useful retractable cable lets you interface with many voltech approved computer systems a communication system allows you to receive messages from other pit boy users as well as tune into local radio stations talking of radio stations while none of the broadcasters from the games are present in the show many episodes do feature songs from the 194 40s and 50s that have become synonymous with Fallout in the opening of episode 1 we hear Orange Colored Sky performed by NA King Cole and the Stan Kenton Orchestra which was used in the TV advert for New Vegas and later in both Fallout 4 and Fallout [Music] 76 each life some rain episode two features into each life some Rain Must Fall performed by the ink spots and L Fitzgerald which you may remember being played by Galaxy news radio DJ Three Dog in Fallout 3 and later broadcast by Diamond City radio in Fallout 4 me land lots of land St SK above Don't Fence Me In that very same episode features another three bangers starting with Don't Fence Me In performed by Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters Vic scoen and his orchestra which is part of the Appalachia radio playlist in Fallout 76 kisses you you find you like it to it's a man then there's Betty Hutton it's a man which he played on Fallout for's Diamond City radio I the [Music] world and the episode concludes with the ink spots I don't want to set the world on fire which has become fallout's Anthem thanks to being used in both Fallout 3's marketing and Pro cut scene and appearing in both Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 maybe the one who is waiting for you the Ink Spots could be considered the unofficial musical mascot of Fallout since their song Maybe which features in episode 3 was used for the intro and credits of the very first Fallout and is a regular in bethesda's Era of Games 2 my echo my shadow and me marking their fourth track on the show The Ink Spots can be heard again in the finale with we three my echo my shadow and me which is taken from Fallout 76s Appalachia radio while licensed vintage tracks are a major part of the show's soundtrack Fallout also features an original score by Game of Thrones composer rammen jaadi inspired by the music from the games in episode we even get the recognizable theme that plays over the main menu in fallout's modern era of [Music] [Applause] [Music] games the recognizably Retro computer terminals from the Bethesda games can be seen in multiple scenes around the series they're authentic right down to the UI which uses the same green text and similar menu categories that detail even extends to the hacking which requires the passcode to be deciphered from a wall of Tex and symbols exactly as it does in Fallout 3 476 and New Vegas computer Terminals and pit boys aren't the only recognizable Tech relics we see across the Eight Episodes though the 50 style radiation King TV from episode 4 is of the same brand as those seen in the Blasted homes all across the game series starting as early as the original Fallout from 1997 earlier in that same episode we see this wireless phone intercom developed by lgjg a loot company who much less Advanced padlocks can be spotted in Fallout New Vegas as iconic as the Vault boy are fallouts Mr handy robots which have been part of the series since the very beginning welcome what the fudge fudge there's no fudge here the general atomics International markv makes a major appearance in episode 4 featuring the orike design and circula appendage that's present on the designs from Fallout 3 onwards turning up as a minor plot point in episode 3 is a broken voltech water chip the water chip is destroyed a similar busted chip is the inciting incident of the very first Fallout game so consider this a nod to the event that started it all just like in Fallout 4 the show's power armor runs on Fusion cores this grenade siiz technological wonder is also used to power the entirety of Vault 4 which suggests that the show's version of fusion course last a lot longer than the ones in the [Applause] game there's plenty of guns being fired across the Wasteland many of which are just regular Firearms some of these are from the games such as the tommy gun from Fallout 2 but it's the fictional weapons unique to the series that are the most fun to spot Lucy begins her journey using a dark gun that's an original creation for the series but later swaps it out for the more practical 10 mm pistol you'll know this one as your trusty sidearm from Fallout 4 arguably fallout's best looking weapon is the laser rifle and we can see an enclave security guard holding one in episode 2 in the final episode we also see its smaller brother the laser pistol being used by NCR leader malava maximus's choice of Firepower is the cult 6520 a revolver Style 10 mm pistol that could be found in Fallout 1 and 2 a lovingly crafted remake of it was also available in Fallout 4 via the creation Club the brotherhood's knights meanwhile pack a much bigger punch with their assault rifles which are based on the design from Fallout 4 while up in the sky the Brotherhood also makes use of pental mounted miniguns these are similar to the verteb guns as seen in Fallout 4 another machine gun turret can be seen at The Enclave base in episode 2 with a design reminiscent of Fallout 4 and 76 is automated in placements a more esoteric destruction device can be found in Fallout 4's junk jet which is used to fire both kitchen utensils and the leg of a baby doll in episode 1 another junk jet can be seen for sale in episode 2 costing 285 bottle caps there's also what appears to be a plasma rifle from Fallout 3 on sale in the same shop hanging on the wall behind the owner in episode 6 we see a Harpoon Gun being used which appears to be a much less heavy duty alternative to the big boy used in Fallout 4's far Harbor DLC there's not a lot of melee action in the show but we do see Lucy use a ripper a mechanical vibro blade capable of chewing through flesh and Bone multiple versions have been seen across the series and Lucy appears to be a new model weapons aren't the only pieces of equipment that have made their way from the games into the show there there's all sorts of items and gear to be spotted including the iconic NCR Ranger outfit that adorns the Fallout New Vegas box art the show's Raiders are also outfitted in authentic apparel as in the games Vault booy bobbleheads can be spotted dotted about the world there's one holding out his hand another with arms crossed and one with his hands on his hips incidentally these are all official Fallout merch figures from The Real World in episode 6 you can spot an issue of the capital Post newspaper which was published in Fallout 3 setting of Washington DC over Light reading material can be found in Tesla Science magazine which was used in Fallout 4 to provide perks that enhance your ability with energy weapons seen in Philly's General Store is a lunch box which fans will recognize from all of the Bethesda era Fallout games as well as the Fallout 3 collector's edition if you're a Serial junk collector you'll definitely have picked up a bottle of abraxo during your travels in Fallout 3 476 and New Vegas this cleaning agent can be used in the creation of the drug ultra jet which is Handy to know since this guy appears to be pretty into jet using an inhaler to partake in the addictive hallucinogen that is used in the games to boost combat Effectiveness talking of drugs stimpacks are used to cure wounds several times across the series these come in identical syringes to the game's healing shots there's also a couple of bags of radaway to be found including one with a handwritten label that's just like the version seen in fallouts 3 and 4 and for those who like to relax with a bit of nicotine Amazon's version of the Wasteland is stocked with big boss cigarettes which we last saw in Fallout New Vegas of course a wastelander can't survive on cigarettes and stimpacks alone and so the show features a number of classic Fallout foods and drinks that starts naturally with nuca colola and either bottles or vending machines can be spotted in most episodes during the prologue two guys are drinking fish brow the Paleo brand from Fallout New Vegas at the same party bottles of sunset Sara perilla also from New Vegas can be seen on a table in the background 200 years later advertisements for the soda can be seen in multiple episodes just after leaving the Vault Lucy can be seen carrying a bottle of purified drinking water which is similar in design to the vault tech water cans from fallouts 4 and 76 uh sorry uh sir I actually I might they need that that water doesn't last forever though and so it's not long before Lucy succumbs to the same depths almost every player has by drinking dirty irradiated water the post-apocalypse has produced some interesting culinary choices and in Philly's Market we see iguana on a stick for sale which has been a regular snack for Fallout players since the very first game the ghoul meanwhile makes his own meals from more unusual ingredients these slices of human meat will be dried out to create Fallout 4's mystery jerky if your taste veere closer to more classically American Cuisine then you can't go wrong with a can of cram fallout's version of spam it's regularly eaten by Vault dwellers and a tin of it is included with maximus's food hamper along with a number of other foods from the games yum yum deviled eggs blamco mac and cheese sugar bomb cereal and fancy lad snack cakes the Wasteland is known for harboring some pretty weird creatures but we'll start with a cute one the German Shepherd we all know better as dog meat I'm sorry dog meat but you ain't him there's also a sign for dog meat at the Philly Market we'll try to not think too much about that one in episode two you can spot a Brahman the two-headed mutant cows that appear in almost every game in the series fallouts answer to zombie cannon fodder is the feral ghoul and we see several of them in episode 4 these are a staple in every single Fallout game and so were a must have for the TV series fallout's other famous enemy creature is the Super Mutant and while we don't get a proper Showdown with one we do see a super mutant hand on a gurnie at The Enclave facility the wastelands most common pest is the overgrown radroach and they feature in multiple episodes proving a more fearsome foe is the yaay which first appeared in Fallout 3 turns out a suit of power armor isn't a guaranteed defense against a mutant bear perhaps the show's most impressive creature though is this grotesque redesign of the gulper a mutant salamander first seen in Fallout 4's far Harbor DLC Fallout is no stranger to a bit of Weird Science and in the finale we're introduced to a vault tech employees talking brain in a jar this is similar to Professor clavet another preserved chunk of gry matter that features in Fallout 3's Point Lookout DLC finally we don't get to see the beast at itself but the skull of a death claw can be spotted just before the entire season rolls credits what kind of model is that it's the t60 having adorned the box art for most of the games the Brotherhood of Steel were naturally going to be a massive part of the show unsurprisingly we see plenty of the t60 the most recent variant of the faction's iconic power armor that arrived in Fallout 4 the show uses an iron manlike inh helmet camera for s scenes and projected in the corners of this view we can see an orange heads up display that's very similar to the hood that appears when piloting the t60 in Fallout 4 while the armor is a very accurate replica of the in-game version it does have a couple of new tricks a flip up visor and Jet thrusters the latter is a sleeker version of the much bulkier jetpack modification from Fallout 4 as in the games Power Armor is stored in metal stations when not in use the show's Brotherhood of Steel has its own airship taking the form of a massive Zeppelin likee craft that looks a lot like the pride win from Fallout 4 flying alongside that monster are smaller verti birds which also bear a strong resemblance to the Fallout 4 design you never heard of the new California Republic well most of the show visits locations that haven't previously been seen in the games a major storyline takes us to what remains of shady Sands this town was built after the war and is a major local in Fallout 2 in which it had become the capital city of the new California Republic the NCR also plays a major role in the show show with its flag scene in a number of scenes newer fans likely know the NCR from their appearance in Fallout New Vegas the town of Philly is an original creation for the series but its walls of junk and ramshackle recycled feel is reminiscent of places like megaton from Fallout 3 and Diamond City from Fallout 4 the show also features branches of several franchise businesses that have been seen in the games you'll recognize slow comes Joe coffee shop from the massive dut that adorns its roof while the super duper Mart in episode 4 is similar to the brands of a grocery stores as seen in fallouts 3 4 and 76 the red rocket in episode 7 is almost a perfect replica of the gas station you visit in the first hour of Fallout 4 and while we don't get to visit it properly the unmistakable skyline of the New Vegas strip can be seen in the very final shot of the show finally there's plenty of name drops when it comes to famous companies from the world of the games including monoral manufacturer CMR robotics experts roko defense contractor westtech Big MT research and development center Repcon the Aerospace and Rocket manufacturer Galaxy news the pro government Media company and of course voltech the corporation behind the underground Fallout shelters I think that's [Music] everything and there we have it1 details from The Fallout TV show that
