In recent years, there’s been a new wave of video game adaptation shows, all made with fidelity as the goal: as accurate an adaptation as possible, replicating the feel and story of the original game. But then, Amazon announced it would adapt Bethesda’s Fallout, an open-world game that made a truly faithful adaptation essentially impossible, since every playing experience was different.
But Fallout tore the rulebook apart completely, ignoring the story from the original games to tell a brand new story of vault dweller Lucy MacLean, Brotherhood of Steel Squire Maximus, and wandering bounty hunter The Ghoul. It’s now regarded as one of the greatest video game series ever, and it’s now available to keep forever in glorious 4K.
