Video game adaptations are invading streaming services.

With several amazing series and movies inspired by video games, Hollywood has finally discovered how to make this kind of product with soul and make the audience feel like gamers. Prime Video’s Fallout TV series serves as the most recent example, garnering praise from both critics and fans.

Thanks to an interview with Tim Cain, the original creator of the Bethesda franchise, he shared his thoughts on the new TV series. He said a lot of good things about how this series feels, and he is very proud of the result.

One of the most popular Bethesda franchises received a new series that quickly gained popularity: Fallout on Prime Video

The Fallout TV adaptation is a complete success for Prime Video and Bethesda.
The Fallout franchise started off as an isometric role-playing game in a post-apocalyptic setting, defying convention to deliver captivating character stories and captivating gameplay. In 1997, the first game made its debut, followed by a sequel just a year later. The third title was released 10 years later as a first-person experience, which changed the gameplay forever. Fans are eager to see the next chapter of this universe.

In 2020, Prime Video confirmed the idea of turning this Bethesda IP into a series by acquiring the rights to produce a TV show. Fans and critics praised the streaming service’s premiere of the adaptation this month, praising its amazing respect for the original material and its ability to capture the essence of this saga. Even the creator of the two original games talked about how accurate the TV show is to the source material.

Tim Cain discusses how Prime Video successfully adapted a TV show based on this franchise

Thanks to a recent interview with Tim Cain, responsible for the first two games of Fallout and The Outer Worlds, fans can relax about how even the man who created this franchise praised the series. He said the following: “Everything feels like Fallout. It feels like Fallout.” This industry veteran understands the difficulty of such an endeavor and the potential for the fans to receive an unexpected outcome.

He continued with “That is hard to do, trust me. I know how hard that is to do. It’s easy to write post-apocalyptic stuff that doesn’t fit in the Fallout mold, and it would have been very easy for them to go off to be too silly accidentally, to have things that are like, ‘that’s not part of Fallout.’ But they didn’t.” Cain was fascinated by how much franchise lore was included in the series and how organic it was.

After many failed attempts, Hollywood has finally decided how to make video game adaptations right by respecting and involving the source material as much as possible. Prime Video has already confirmed a second season of this series, which is in development, in which the same protagonist will return to the Wasteland. There is no official date for when this second season will arrive.
