Fallout 4 News

Thinking about checking out Prime Video's Fallout show, but don't have a subscription? You'll be able to watch the first episode for free, but only on Twitch.

Later this week, on April 12, the Fallout show is finally making its way to Prime Video, with all eight episodes dropping on the streaming service at once. If you're desperate to watch it, though, you'll be able to do so on April 11. As announced by Twitch on Twitter, a selection of streamers will be hosting the first episode so you can watch it before the full series arrives. It's a little unclear how exactly that will work, as Twitch only announced last month that its Prime Video watch parties feature would be shut down on April 2, which has come and gone. It's possible that the selected streamers have been provided an early copy, of course, but several users on Twitter did question the decision considering the removal of the feature.

It's also seemingly been a frustrating point for some smaller streamers, who would have liked to host a watch party with their community, but that ability is being limited to the selection of streamers listed by twitch. On top of that, other users also questioned the fact that hardly any of the streamers hosting the first episode are Fallout streamers/ creators, a point that has irked some. If none of this bothers you, though, here's the full list of streamers that will be hosting a watch party for the first episode:

As you might be aware, one of the many themes of the Fallout series is that allowing a world to be filled with with lots of big corporations sucking up resources at an unsustainable rate in pursuit of endless growth will, er, probably not end well. Apparently, this is something the Fallout TV Show's creators were keen to capture, despite the fact the series is being released exclusively via the streaming service of, er, Amazon.

To be fair, it does very much sound like the show's creators are very aware of the dissonance that comes from projecting the message 'unchecked corporations bad' via the airwaves of a corportation that continues to expand to levels where interacting with it's basically unavoidable a lot of the time.

Speaking to TheGamer, showrunner Graham Wagner touched on how the show's creators have approached that issue. "For us, it was part of the appeal, the absurdity of that," he explained, "That we get to tell a story about a world that bet big on mega-corporations and it collapsed and put it on Amazon is too delicious for words."

The Fallout TV Show drops on Amazon Prime later this week, and if you're replaying Fallout 4 while you wait for April 11 to arrive, a new mod definitely looks like it's worth grabbing. It's one for all the merch freaks out there, as it adds a backpack to the game that's the spitting image of the one the show's vault dweller, Lucy, has been shown wearing as she traverses the wastes.

Yup, we've already had fan films adding a new concluding scene to the Sole Survivor's adventure this month, and now they've been gifted a fresh way of showing they're keeping up with the trends, as they lug ten million bits of scrap around The Commonwealth. To be fair, they did lose their spouse and all that, so they probably deserve all of this nice stuff.

In case you're wondering what 'Lucy's Vault-Tec Backpack' by QwibQwibMods is based on, I'll direct you to some of the promo screens for Amazon's Fallout TV Show, which feature the protagonist, Lucy (Ella Purnell), rocking a nice rucksack that matches her classic blue and yellow vault suit. The mod, as you'd imagine, adds a bag inspired by it to Fallout 4, so you can twin with your new Californian vault bezzie.

The Fallout 4 mod project that promises to entirely rebuild the iconic Fallout 2, Project Arroyo, has shown exactly how its ground-up remake and reimagining both follows the original and enhances it in a new comparison video. With three decades between them, it's safe to say that Project Arroyo is going to differ from Fallout 2 on a fundamental level. That said, the team clearly wants to make sure the atmosphere of New California is exactly as you remember it.

While we know the Fallout TV show that’s set to drop very soon on Prime Video will feature plenty of things you’re familiar with in terms of factions and items, even if the characters are all new, one of the things designed to help set it apart from the games sounds pretty interesting. Get ready to watch Lucy’s fellow vault dwellers have a good time without her.

Now, obviously this isn’t the first time in Fallout history we’ll have gotten a peek at what’s happened to a vault that was once home to a protagonist in the time since they’ve been gone. That said, both in the original Fallout and Fallout 3, your returns to the Vault don’t exactly suggest things have been all rosy since you departed or end too well, whereas this time, it sounds like at least for a little bit, there won’t be trouble on the homefront.

In a new interview with IGN about the show, director Jonathan Nolan reveals that one of the things he was most excited about in terms of the show’s script was being able to continue telling the story of the folks in Vault 33 in the immediate aftermath of its Ella Purnell-portrayed protagonist’s departure into the wastes. “Just because Lucy left the vault doesn’t mean that we have to,” he explained. “There’s a whole community back there that you’ve gotten to know a little bit.”
