Pretty interesting video.


Yeah it's great for people who haven't played the games or don't remember much of the story from the first two, and I think they did a pretty good job with it.

Lol, I think I missed the TARDIS easter egg in the first game. That's epic win.

Even though it's all common knowledge to my eyes, it's fun to see.

Thank you for posting that link, the video was great! I never completed Fallout 1 or 2, so this was a nice way to wrap up the stuff I missed. Also that was the first look I ever got of Tactics and Van Burren (which looked pretty awesome).

Wow

I have been educated

It's always nice to know the history of the video games as well as the video game producers

Haha, I loved it! It actually brought me more hope for Beth. Now I've got the full story. I've played the originals, but FO1 was a while ago. Play FO2 now, but Van Buren looked good, and Tactics is alright. I have to admit though, I did shout YEEEEESSSSSSSSSS when they showed the clips of FO3 at the end...

Nice video, except for some minor flaws.

Good video. I didn't know much about what came before Fallout 1, so it's nice that they took the time to look into it and tell us all. :)

Wrong board.

And, while pretty well done, it has lots of factual errors.

I found the video to be very informative for a FallOut new player like myself. it not only tells you about the history of FO1 and 2, but also of their ancestry.

Very interesting indeed!

I cannot believe how gamers think some times - 'good for people that haven't played Fallout 1 and 2 yet' and 'good for people that haven't finished Fallout 1 and 2' - are you joking?!

Firstly, Gametrailers, then the original poster needed to put a great big SPOILERS notice at the start! Secondly, can you tell me if you would be happy if the retrospective gave the ending of Fallout 3 in detail too? I don't think so!

So all this video has done is make people who may have bought Fallout 1 and 2 now not do so, because they know the endings - in detail, and for anyone who started playing 3 months ago because Fallout 3 was coming out, now sees no reason to finish it! Fallout 1 and 2 are the No.1 sellers at GOG.com, and that site has only been around a couple of months!

IT just amazes me how idiotic and selfish the gaming media and gamers themselves can be. For Gametrailers especially, not to put a Spoiler notice at the front of that video is just absolutely amazing - and I have told them so!

Classic like Fallout should always be given the respect of assuming people are still playing them! There was no notice at all in this video that the endings of Fallout and 2 was going to be discussed in detail. That is just a crime as I see it as very damaging to current Fallout 1 and 2! players

On one level we say we respect these games and recommend people play them, then we talk about this video with no thought to the fact it will impact so many current or future Fallout players!
