Description: Get the Fallout series on GOG (affiliate code) ► indigogaming.link/Fallout An extensive retrospective analysis of 20 years of Fallout from a dedicated fan since the very first game. From the humble beginnings of Interplay's Fallout, to the Black Isle Studio masterpiece Fallout 2, the spinoffs and failures in-between (Fallout Tactics, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and the 'Van Buren' project), its long-awaited Bethesda-developed reboot: Fallout 3, the revered sidestep Fallout: New Vegas by Obsidian Entertainment, and finally to the latest entry Fallout 4 and what the future may hold for the Fallout franchise. Join me on this adventure to find out where the series got it right, where it missteped, and why I believe that despite technological improvements and innovations over the years, the series has taken a turn for the worse both in atmosphere and setting, and its focus on simplification over player choice, agency and freedom. And hopefully you'll agree with me on my treatise that modern Fallout isn't Fallout. 0:00 - Intro 1:36 - The Inspirations of Fallout (Wizardry, Ultima, Wasteland) 2:41 - A Post-Nuclear Role-Playing Game (Fallout) 7:52 - If It Ain't Broke (Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout: The Brotherhood of Steel, Van Buren) 12:08 - Fallout, Mutated (Fallout 3) 18:52 - A Second Chance (Fallout: New Vegas) 23:52 - The Radioactive Decay of a Series (Fallout 4) 28:59 - The Future of Fallout Check out the promising fan remake of Van Buren here: facebook.com/f3vanburen ---------------- MUSIC CREDITS Fallout & Fallout 2 Soundtrack by Mark Morgan (markmorganmusic.com/) 'Earthy Crust Sting' by Jingle Punks 'Mind Scrape' by Kevin MacLeod 'Drizzle to Downpour' by Silent Partner 'Dhaka' by Kevin MacLeod 'Beginning' by Audionautix 'Invariance' by Kevin MacLeod 'Lithium' by Kevin MacLeod 'A Wonderful Guy' by Tex Beneke 'Aftermath - Madness Paranoia' by Kevin MacLeod 'Flying Free' by Jingle Punks '1940's Slow Dance' by Doug Maxwell / Media Right Productions 'Fallout 4 Main Theme' by Inon Zur 'Darkness is Coming' by Kevin MacLeod 'Alien Sunset' by Audionautix 'Slowly Increasing 0R_37mi' by Setuniman 'Hang Ups (Want You)' by Otis McDonald ---------------- SOURCES GURPS wiki: fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_13:_A_GURPS_Post-Nuclear_Adventure GURPS preview: youtube.com/watch?v=3kd9SiAIhss Tim Cain at GDC 2012: youtube.com/watch?v=Xa5IzHhAdi4 Tim Cain interview: duckandcover.cx/content.php?id=7 Chris Avellone interview: theguardian.com/technology/2007/may/03/games.shopping1 Todd Howard interview (Ultima quote): wired.com/2015/12/todd-howard-profile Fallout 4 Todd Howard interview: gamespot.com/articles/fallout-4-interview-we-re-probably-doing-too-much/1100-6428336 Fallout 4 gunplay interview with Todd Howard destructoid.com/destiny-inspired-fallout-4-s-gunplay-319165.phtml ---------------- ARTWORK CREDITS ‘X 01 Advanced Power Armor’ by Rafał Badan artstation.com/obrotowy ‘Cold Encounters’ by Cryinghorn cryinghorn.deviantart.com/art/Fallout-2-Fan-Art-Cold-Encounters-301040531 ‘Enclave soldiers’, ‘New Washington D.C.’, and ‘In the vicinity of Lucky 38’ by TakeOFFFly takeofffly.deviantart.com/art/In-the-vicinity-of-Lucky-38-Fallout-World-646532815 takeofffly.deviantart.com/art/Enclave-soldiers-Fallout-World-468760847 takeofffly.deviantart.com/art/Fallout-World-New-Washington-D-C-406795485 ‘A day to build a life on’ and ‘City Ruins’ by Natiq Aghayev artstation.com/artwork/BVDm6 defonten.cgsociety.org/art/fallout-maya-post-nuclear-photoshop-shelter-abandoned-a-day-build-life-on-805260 ---------------- FOOTAGE CREDITS Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel gameplay from TomGamer: youtube.com/user/TomsWalkingGame Some Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4 gameplay from MrBlockzGaming: youtube.com/user/MrBlockzGaming Van Buren gameplay from CuteFloor: youtube.com/channel/UCRt4hVnvg0_soJJ6Fo8FEsg Fallout 1 death animations from march12314: youtube.com/channel/UCvI-3Nm6sKCPmK2RINQ8IMg ---------------- PATREON ► patreon.com/IndigoGaming TWITCH ► twitch.tv/indigogamingchannel TWITTER ► twitter.com/TheIndigoGaming FACEBOOK ► facebook.com/IndigoGamingChannel #Fallout #Fallout 2 #FalloutNewVegas
