Things That Remind You Of Fallout

Post » Wed Apr 28, 2010 1:06 am

What other things remind you of Fallout games?

Pictures, films, tv. art, music videos, books, anything.

Put it here. :)

With pictures and links if you want. :)

I have only played Fallout 3.

Bioshock Series

Some of Bioshock series reminds me of Fallout.

They have similer televisons to the fallout.

Look at the apartment and maps on Bioshock 2.

The Plasmid ads remind me of Vault Boy and the adverts.

The adverts and posters are similer to each other sometimes.

They both have fifties and earlier music in a scary and creepy setting.

So what have you seen and can think of?

One thing that reminded me of Fallout 3 was Oblivion. (Zing! :P)

Everytime I see the radioactive symbol my mind directly goes to Fallout.

This is odd maybe, but I happen to drive quite a bit and everytime I see something being demolished (like a house or store) I tend to look at the rubble I wonder "humm wonder if theres any good loot in there or is it just a couple of ashtrays and a lead pipe' heh. Also when I am passing through one of our ghost towns I think "this would be a good place to set up shop heh just need a barricade or too to keep the raiders out."

Ohh ya and when I see them real glass pop bottles tend to make me think Nuka

Maybe I have just played Fallout to much.

I watched Resident Evil Extinction on tv recently.

The trashness of some of the places, the dusty wild wastelands and the fact it is post apocolytic reminded me of fallout.

They even ate out of tins and had pork and beans, lol.

And the zombies are like feral ghouls. But bloodier and very infectious.

I expected a deathclaw to wander about, lol.

Any desert, ruined buildings, my neighbor's dog (looks like Dogmeat), the number 101, the word 'vault,' shadow government consiparcies, the radiation symbol, and anything involving mutations reminds me of Fallout

Buildings that are abandoned make me want to say "Lets set up as shelter here."

Ospery VTOL's that the Marines use, when I see them (And I usually do), I think of the Enclave, and I'll run to the nearest building and hide.

When I see a gun in a gunshop, I'm tempted to ask the man what strength skill I need for it.

I actually took a field trip with my school to Washington D.C. this year and I continuously looked for landmarks that were in Fallout.

Aside from the major landmarks the city in Fo3 is a far cry from the real metropolis that is Washington..

I mean, obviously a building can't be used forever. If you look at the objects some of them were left behind decades ago. I googled the school with the melted clock, it had moved to a new building.

But I'm rather shocked at how Detroit can't seem to even be able to tear them down. I know Detroit has poverty issues, but how much does it cost to knock down a building? And think how easy it would be to turn one of those buildings into a hideout for gangs, drug dealers, etc.

I thought City of Embers is what it would be like to live in a vault. It also had a giant mutated animal and the leader of the city reminded me a lot of how the overseers acted. It also had the population of the city at odds between the ones who wanted to stay and pretend that nothing was really wrong and the ones that knew that they needed to see if they could leave and live in the world outside.

I travel to D.C. and when I went to the Capitol Mall, I'd be like...Ah, I remember when I killed some raiders with a Minigun in that building. Good times.

Glass bottles of coke.

Also I visited Washington DC shortly after finishing FO3... was really bizarre. Walking up the steps on the Lincoln Memorial, like... this is where I had that epic gunfight with those slavers.

Any bottle that I drink from reminds me of bottlecaps and if its a soda bottle then it reminds of of nuka. I decided to take every cap from any bottle I drink from and so far I am at 122 caps.(Been doing this for about 7 months).

Exactly they cant knock down those buildings and make new ones? Its pretty sad that they cant even do that.
