In the wake of the critical and commercial success of Amazon’s hit show Fallout, rumours are beginning to emerge that suggest a new videogame based on the property could be created.
“The post-apocalyptic setting, the weird creatures, the great characters, I really think this whole thing could really work as a game,” said game expert Kelly Grace.
“Maybe not based rigidly on the story from the show, but more just based in the same world, in the same setting. I mean, the whole feel of show is great, super-atmospheric. It’s a really rich world. I can imagine the player controlling one of these guys in a shelter, and coming out to explore this incredible wasteland.”
However, others have been quick to poor cold water on the idea.
“A videogame based on this show? In a world after a nuclear war? Sounds a bit depressing, a bit grim. Games are about running about jumping on little mushroom men,” said Stewart James, video game expert.
“I mean, imagine if Mario was in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. He’d have all radiation poisoning and Princess Peach would be dead, when he jumped on the mushroom men they’d just explode in a foul miasma of radioactive mush. It would be awful.”
“No, it’s a fine show, but I don’t see it ever working as a videogame.”
However, despite the scepticism of Mr James and people like him, there is significant enthusiasm for some sort of Fallout game. It maybe as a crossover with Fifa, with post-apocalyptic football, or an Angry Birds-style game, in which radioactive birds battle radioactive pigs, whatever form it takes, it seems likely a Fallout game will happen.

Is this a joke?
Um, the Fallout TV show is already based off a video game series. There have been seven Fallout games since 1997.
big brain
This must be click bait, or you’re living under a rock …
You know what the series is based on right?
Is this a joke? Lmao. It is based off of the game lol
the fallout series started as a videogame…Is this a lame joke?
Fallout IS a video game series, is this a lame joke?
Stop wasting oxygen.
IDK, don’t really see it as a video game.
You realize this show is based off a video game franchise already right?
Isn’t Fallout already a video game franchise?
wtf
this is as far fetched as that lord of the rings book adaptation they’ve been talking about for ages! ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN – the films were too long, would never be able to fit that into a book someone would actually read
It is astonishing to see people taking the bait. Wow.
are… you retarded?
I’m gay
Did Gail Simone write this?
This has to be a joke or this guy who wrote this should be fired immediately.
While Screen-idle is akin to New York Times for its well known serious journalism so I am guessing most of you wouldn’t have assumed but this was in fact a joke.
Not really a funny one or anything, but a joke none-the-less.
He even tried to use this lame post to plug his comedy channel on youtube.

I for one am very excited for this! I really enjoyed the show and the brothers of steel. I’m not really sure how would be in a video game setting. Most of the world is destroyed so I don’t think exploring would be much fun. Personally I’m a big fan of racing games so it would be fun to see a Fallout racing game haha 🙂 it could be like mad max where they drive cars and shoot each other and use stimpak. Thoughts?
Is this an out of season April Fools?
I don’t know if I see this working in a video game setting
lame really out here yapping with his nerd glasses on bruh
lame really out here yapping, lose the ego
everyone’s biting the onion it seems
From a satire website? Never! 😂
Sorry I just don’t see it capturing the true essence of the show would be very hard how could you even put into an RPG the way Lucy makes friends or how cooper is morally questionable you’d need some kind of karma system in the game
yea he probably is or ragebaiting for clicks because he is a kunt
