I suppose it was only a matter of time.
But "Fallout 2" is getting an (unofficial) make-over, being ported en
toto to the "Fallout 4" engine, in Project Aryo.

Someone already tried (and failed as far as I can tell) to do the same
thing with the Fallout 3 engine.
Sure I'll give it a try if it ever comes to fruition.
I rather doubt they can pull this off, but lets wait and see.

That's surprising. I haven't heard anything good so far, just the usual
internet picking apart and complaining about what little has been released.
I'm not really sure who the show really is for. Diehard fans of the
game are going to hate it, just because it will inevitably stray from
the source material. ("How can you watch it? They said the Great War
started in 2243 when everybody knows it started in 2047!")*.
Casual fans aren't going to rush to watch the TV show just because of
the association. And Post-apocalyptics as a genre aren't really that
popular on TV in general (not to mention they tend to be more
expensive to make). Recent game-to-tv conversions haven't been
spectacular either; at best, they've been bearable TV, the sort of
thing you watch just because there's nothing better on.
Fallout especially lacks draw because it doesn't have any compelling characters of situations; it's mostly got its setting, and that's it.
That's great if you're making an open-world sandbox game of the sort
Bethesda is famous for, but it lacks the draw of "Master Chief" that
makes people want to watch "Halo".
* years pulled out of my ass because I'm too lazy to go check the wiki
for something so trivial ;-)

Nitpickers will nitpick, but the couple of reviews I seen make it sound pretty good to me:
https://www.pcgamer.com/movies-tv/fallout-tv-show-review-the-best-fallout-anything-since-fallout-new-vegas/
https://variety.com/2024/tv/reviews/fallout-tv-series-review-prime-video-1235964070/
Based on those reviews, if you're a fan of Fallout, but not someone who obseses about cannon, it's a series that recreates the feel of the games
as well as a TV series could, and if you've never played any of the games it's still enjoyable for the unique Fallout sense of style and action.
That *sounds* good. Only problem is those are both once paper now
electronic magazines, which are highly suspect. I'm sure I'll watch at
least the first episode anyway since I've got Prime.

I'm not following your logic there, but if it helps any both PC Gamer
and Variety still publish print editions.
