That and it being on Paramount+ did the series no favors. If we'd had an actually good Halo show, who knows.
Fallout's jump is well deserved. Waiting for that next-gen update to dive back in myself.

Fallout 4 jumps to No.1 (+7,500%) across Europe following TV show launch. 4 Fallout games in top 10 (Update: in Australia and NZ too)
- Thread starter FarSight XR-20
- Start date
- Sales

76 getting a decent boost too. And that game could easily see more and bigger expansions from this all.
To all the people dumping on them for not being the most efficient capitalists possible above all else creatively with new products... just goddamn lol really?

By running a sale, giving out 76 on prime, free week on consoles, show cosmetics and perks on gp and in game to claim etc.
Well deserved.
The Fallout series was so good it is fun watching the success domino's fall into place across all Fallout products.

It's crazy when you think about how many people up top couldn't line up even a remake for this shows release.
It can't be they didn't think to do it.

If i recall correctly Todd recently said he doesn't want to do an elder scrolls series
Deserved. So happy the show was a success and that it's injecting life back into Fallout. It's always fun when everyone's playing it at the same time.
Donnie Yen has been trying to do it for a few years, he owns the movie rights.
Isnt an SD movie happening? But doesnt Square still hold onto SD?
lmao, how were they going to capitalize?
CDPR also did nothing when TW launched and they only had TW3 on sale.
Shows are made in 2 years, games need 5 years or more.
Bethesdas probably panicking that fallout 5 didn't go into development before the next elder scrolls
With the amount of hype a new TES will generate, I doubt it. Even if they'd started FO5 after Starfield, it wouldn't be releasing until 2028.
They might reconsider letting other studios work with the IP, however. A NV remaster seems like a no-brainer to pump out in tandem with Season 2.
I wouldn't be surprised If we get a TES Show before TES VI lol
A person can only dream!
Honestly, Xbox needs more games that are A/AA in budget that also tap into smaller development time, and this idea would be perfect for that.
Does Initial D feature Lil John's "Get Low"? No? I rest my case.
Greenlighting the show in the first place (which took some serious courage)
Announcing a next Gen update for next week
Those are the only things I can see that they actively did. It is how most viral things work though. I am very happy with the show as It has reignited my passion for this universe. Currently working through Fallout 1 on PC. Playing through New Vegas on Series X with Fallout 4 waiting in the wings for the next gen update. Great time to be a Fallout fan.
I mean, Sony made a Twisted Metal show after the series has been dead for a decade, and a new entry is just rumors.
They've had special events and gamepass perks for Fallout. For Halo, the shows spartan armor were weekly awards.
Like, even if they got to work on a game the moment the ink was on the contract for the show, there's no guarantee it would be ready in time. In-game bonus items for your live services make sense and they did do those. Maybe something tiny like Spartan Assault or Fallout Shelter... but that would not satisfy most people.
Like, good products, games and/or adaptations, should take priority over brand synergy here.
Fallout hasn't yet peaked.
Also I thought Dring left twitter? Just saw that thread here the other day but wasn't following it

And I would say with the surge in sales/popularity of the Fallout games so far, they've capitalized. Not everything is about instant gratification, folks.
He stepped away from social media as a sort of check to see if he could, and Twitter assumed that Twitter had bullied him off. He wasn't quiting, just went on sabbatical for a few days.
MS should give the IP to either Obsidian, Inixile, or any other studio. Waiting for ES6 to release is sorta insane, we are talking well over 15 years after Fallout 4 which is a even longer then when franchise was killed the first time after Fallout Tactics.
It'll also take place in 2004 and have Cingular billboards.
I've been shocked how high various entries in the Fallout series are on the Steam global top-sellers (by revenue) considering how discounted the games are right now. I think the figure here is probably units.

For real, I've avoided Fallout 4 for a long time, because I kept hearing left and right that it sucks, one day, by chance, I found a cheap used copy of it,
Ended up playing over 150 hours of it, even got into the settlement building mechanic
Haha I thought the same. Watched the first episode and thought 'damn, seems stupid that they don't have some sort of new release synergy with this, given how many eyes will be on it'.
I love New Vegas and think most people would probably enjoy it more as well
At some point you've gotta look at the all-time and recent user reviews (especially the recent ones in this context) on Steam both being very positive and realize your take isn't a common one. Fallout 4 was super popular and well received at launch, through its lifespan, and even now with what's probably the closest you get to a "second-opinion" with a fresh influx of players almost a decade later.
To each their own which is fine.
I put an ungodly amount of hours into 3 and NV and kind of struggled to finish my first playthrough of 4. The improved combat, graphics and crafting are nice and power armor is now amazing but thats kind of where my pros end.
Its not a bad video game at all, its good but it is a more shallow one than its predecessors which will always leave a bad taste in my mouth, personally.

This 1000%
New Vegas is great, some of its fans are obnoxious though.
I am surprised they didn't put inXile into making it after the Bethesda purchase was finalised.
But then I would've also cancelled The Outer Worlds 2 and had Obsidian make a new Fallout instead.
3 & NV remasters for release now, 1/2 remakes for 2026 and "New Vegas 2" for 2028 would've definitely filled the gap until Fallout 5 in 2032 or whenever.
Yeah, Inxile would have been perfect for a new iso Fallout. God, what could have been between Obsidian on a new Fallout and Inxile on this hypothetical.
"Aww...but we wanted to make a steampunk game.."
"No, I don't think so, buddy."
Fallout 4 is a pretty good game. It does dumb some things down, the main story is bad, Railroad stuff hamfisted (feels weird invoking a real anti-slavery movement for your dumb robot story!), and yeah, it's not as good as New Vegas. But that shouldn't be held against it, there are like four RPGs in the entire history of gaming that are better than New Vegas.
World is great, side stories usually interesting, combat is Bethesda's best (not to damn with faint praise), Far Harbour perfect, Nick Valentine maybe the GOAT Fallout companion, genuinely enjoy the base building stuff, have spent way too much time modifying weapons and Power Armour. Solidly middle of the pack as far as Bethesda games go, way better than Starfield, way worse than Morrowind, about on par with Oblivion.

Right? funny how shining the best light on your franchise drives interest in the franchise. Who woulda thunk it?
This just instantly became an all time favorite tweet of mine.
