So your saying it's not possible for 50's style to evolve into more 50's 60's style it much always evolve into 80's style? XD

i'm saying it's too slow, 120 years is a long time in terms of cultural changes. also, i pointed out how they made a jump from the 50s to the 70s/ 80s with some things and not others, which makes little sense.

Which is what makes it a diverged timeline.

I happen to agree with you that music would have evolved, but I am inclined to let fallout devolopers continue what they see fit for their theme. it is things like that which make it a unique IP and not just another post apoc game- they must differentiate themselves somehow.

You cant look at it as a "the 50's stayed the 50's forever" scenario.. It is more of a :"the future was how those in the 50's imagined it would be"
scenario. a person in a past tense alternate realty's dream of the future.

You could also say that since we know nothing of what happened culturally between the 50's and 2077 you could even say that maybe it did evolve but at the time of the war the art and music style at the time was very 1950's style.

But It's mostly what cannibal said, since the styling of the setting is Retro-futurism and "world of tomorrow" you have to look at it from what the future looked like from a 1950's pop sci-fi culture would be. So think buck rogers and lost in space.

Just look up 50's sci fi in google images and you'll see alot of stuff that would fit right in with Fallout design.

I never said that the world was stuck in the 1950's for 120 years, I said that we have no idea what occurred musically within said 120 years. We know at least that American culture stayed in that 1950's mindset of anticommunist propaganda and to always stay on constant vigilance for the Red Menace. We know that new technology was developed, but we have no idea if they ever had a punk generation or anything resembling nirvana. It's entirely possible that with the near constant threat of nuclear war that music didn't progress nearly as much as it did in our own timeline. The point is that we cannot use what has happened in the last 60 years of our history to extrapolate what happened in the pre-war Fallout universe.

IMO New Vegas, as it included tracks from the original series; and those are what ranked it as better IMO.

FO3 for sure. NV was just to gloomy for me. i love kick in the head though and blue moon.
but they could never beat FO3

Wait, you're saying New Vegas is gloomy and Fallout 3 isn't?

Don't get me wrong, I do love Fallout New Vegas' soundtrack, but Fallout 3's soundtrack was more supportive of Fallout and Fallout 2's soundtrack, so I tend to like it a bit more than New Vegas' soundtrack. Three Dog might have something to do with that too...

However, New Vegas clearly wins if we are talking about ambient music, as it featured sounds from the original series.

in what way? F1/2 only had ambient music in the game.....the only thing it had to be similar with F3 was part of the intro.

Fallout 2.
