Waiting for Fallout 4's next-gen update to drop? Here's a cool fan demake of Fallout 3's intro on the Gameboy to check out

As recent player numbers for the series have shown, Amazon's Fallout TV show has a whole bunch of us playing and thinking about Fallout right now. In the case of one fan, Fallout 3's been the title they've decided to take a trip down memory lane to - having decided to start working a cool demake of it for the Gameboy.

While Fallout 4's the entry in the series getting a next-gen update today, returing to the Capital Wasteland's also well worth doing. After all, your dad's Liam Neeson, and who's going to go on a wild goose chase after him if you don't?

The Fallout fan behind this demake, who goes by Aggressive-Film3872, has posted a fun little video showing off their current progress on it running via an emulator to the Fallout subreddit - basically giving us a glimpse at what their version of the game's intro sequence looks like. It's that, plus the start of the series of flashbacks in Vault 101 that we've all seen hundreds of times, including the Lone Wanderer's birth, all rendered in classic retro style.

However popular you think the Fallout games are right now, you’re wrong – the numbers are astonishing

Hello there. You might be aware that, following the arrival of Amazon's Fallout TV show lots of people have been, well, playing Fallout games. It's a trend that's been pushing modding sites into new territory when it comes to serving folks ways to spice up their favorite Fallout, and now Bethesda's casually revealed some of the actual player numbers involved.

It's important to note that - while hype for the second season of Amazon's Fallout is already building - Fallout 4's next-gen update hasn't even dropped quite yet. So, there's probably a chance the numbers I'm about to chuck at your face have a chance to climb at least a little bit further soon.

In a couple of tweets form the offical Fallout account, Bethesda revealed that "almost five million" players were recorded in total across all of the titles in the Fallout series during a single day recently. To put that in context, that's almost a million more people than the entire estimated population of Croatia as of 2022 - which was just over 3.8 million - playing the likes of Fallout 4, New Vegas, and probably like five people playing Fallout: Tactics.

Fallout season 2 will feature, er, that iconic location, but you don't need to worry about your headcanon


Amazon's Fallout show set up a fan favourite location from the games, though it's sounding like you don't need to worry too much about your own headcanon.


Big spoilers ahead for the end of the Fallout series.


With the knowledge that the Fallout show would be set in what once was California, fans were of course wondering if one particular area from the games would show up or not - that being New Vegas, obviously, given that they're neighbouring states. And as shown right at the end of the series, Lucy's dad Hank has stormed his way over to New Vegas in a piece of power armour, presumably setting up that we'll be seeing a lot of the locale in season 2 (which was confirmed last week). If you were one of those people making that presumption, you'd be right! As co-showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet recently spoke with GQ, where they briefly spoke about New Vegas as a season 2 setting.
