I don't trust them any more, they're just a mediocre political machine. the visuals and props at least look like what's in the game. I don't know about the story though.

Cult Icon Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 The new Dark Horse Witcher statues are the Crones, Troll and the Werewolf. Looks well done and I really like how they release new ones every year: The Witcher's Most Fearsome Monsters Become New Dark Horse Figures - IGN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 @Enrico_sw I think they got the look right (props, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 The trailer looks great but I will reserve judgement until after I have seen a few episodes. The most important thing about Fallout as a game franchise is that tone. Funny, tongue in cheek but with still room for moments of real emotional impact. You can't go too far in either direction or it won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Boys works partially due to the good actors. I just hope it won't turn out to be as bad as Rings of Power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love Walton Goggins and he is an inspired casting as a ghoul (I guess he will be some variation on Hancock from Fallout 4). I do think it's clear from the props and visual style at least that Nolan & co like the games and are well-versed in them. I hope this also extends to the writing.

I think Nolan did Westworld before this? S1 of Westworld was great but it quickly got messed up. I hope the full trailer shows more content than we see here.

Cult Icon Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I really enjoyed Vice City and how it was inspired by 'Scarface'. It was the last GTA that I played (i played 3 as well): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Vice City is still my favorite. After that, I still played San Andreas, but never finished it. And I briefly played GTA IV but gave up on it much earlier than even San Andreas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When GTA3 came out it was extremely revolutionary at the time, mind-blowing like Zelda 64 or Mario 64. I can see how the magic would fade after many installments. The time gap between GTA 5 and GTA 6 is enormous. I suppose the later games moved on from other film/tv genres than the Italian mob & scarface.

They take one of your beloved franchise and, the next thing you know, they infect it with intersectional feminism, race/gender swap, CRT and all these nonsensical follies. I didn't forget everything they did to what we used to love. Japanese creators are more trustworthy than Hollywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I just found it (it was uploaded on witcher reddit). I will read it later. It's pretty interesting that all these psychologists wrote essays on the witcher. The fallout trailer reminds me of Rings of Power. It looks very slick but it could potentially suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely hope to find a definitive explanation about the meaning of Souls universe. I think it is deeply philosophical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
