So a Game Director and a Movie Director walked into a bar....

TLDR: Shady sands was Nuked after the events of New Vegas. Fall of shady sands is a separate event

02:10 how can anyone doubt that the scriptwriters are Fallout NV fans when this was a clear reference to "never gets old when smth blows up"

Lucy and Maximus are both around 20 so Shady Sands being nuked 10 or 15 years ago makes sense. Maximus looked around 8 years old when Shady Sands was destroyed.

How to get 9 minutes out of 30 seconds of clips, a lesson.

This is perfect. Tons of haters keep saying new Vegas was retconned. Cant wait to share this video around

The Fall of Shady Sands occurring in 2277 lines up with the First Battle of the Hoover Dam, so it looks like that year, and that battle was the beginning of the downfall of the NCR. The nuking of Shady Sands was clearly after the events of New Vegas. It’s not a retcon. It’s continuing the story in a unique and interesting way

2:46 Sweet! "Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel" game is confirmed canon now!

Maximus is like 6 when Shady sands is blown up. Assuming the explosion happened in 2282, right after New Vegas, that would make him arround 20 since the show takes place in 2296, so 14 years after that. Makes sense.

Momento was written by Jonathan Nolan while he was in grad school! Absolute legend. Knew the series was in great hands.

Now we just need an explanation for the location of shady sands

if this takes place just after the events of new vegas the main question on my mind is how is vault tec somehow or possibly in control of new vegas will this be following after the ending where we rule new vegas and kick cesars legions out of nevada or will this be after the events of a different ending from fallout new vegas?

Respect! Uncle Nearest on desk, love it!

What mod did you use to have that Brotherhood of Steel plane or whatever it's called appear at the very beginning it doesn't happen naturally I'm curious what mod are you using

FYI second season was green lit before season one aired

I've been saying this since the release of the show; there is a HUGE difference between the FALL of something and the DESTRUCTION of something. People need to learn basic grammar.

Enclave and vault 31 could have made a deal for protection of the vaults experiment. hence it survived from mutants in fo1

Alot of debate for a chalkboard image. My best guess is that they wanted to keep the date of the bomb vague so instead of giving a proper date with event they just used a mushroom cloud. In the video Todd says 'sometime after New Vegas' so even he doesn't know the date (or he might not know when New Vegas takes place). As for the Fall of 77 could mean anything. Hopeville did get blown up. The was the First Battle of Hoover Dam which the NCR won, but led to more fighting with the Legion. Or maybe it's an event that they want to explain in season 2. If it does turn out to be a mistake date then they left themselves enough wiggle room to get out of it.

the first synth was in fallout 3 :)

The 1st battle of Hoover Dam was in 2277. Most likely, Josua managed to capture shady sands using a small legion force while the NCR was busy protectong the dam. However, the NCR whiped the floor with legion, so Shady Sands was probably captured for a very small amount of time.

I'm curious to see what became of the Mojave, and if the courier will be involved with this crazy story. We going back, baybee!

My only complaint is that the cars just look like regular cars form the 40s and 50s. No nuclear powered looking cars.

So that means the things that happen on this show will shape the story of future Fallout games.. 🤯🤯 Wow! That is such a cool cross over and how everything connects and it’s not just “the show” it’s a part the universe… They are doing really great work here… 🙌🏾👏🏾 very cool

Can we find out about the airship?! They said it’s a new one with new name but it says it’s the one from east coast can we get a confirmation?

4:01 incredible one of these directors actually get it lmao

Bethesda has directly stated that it does not consider Fallout Tactics as part of the canon.

THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THE SHADY SANDS STUFF UP!

Great series

President Kimball was probably the beginning of the end for shady sands

5:39 oh Nate you laughing at the poor canadian.

3:45 & on was them basically slapping the Halo series lol

really love that at some point in the show a character has two companions. pretty certain that spoils nothing

Normalize game dev cooperatives and labour unions. Game devs make the games run, game devs should run the gaming world.🌏🎮🍄

Hear Me out the Nuke is from when Ulysses and the courier had a showdown. Ulysses somehow actives the bomb during their fight.

Look at that.... Todd Howard with a coherent speech about the characteristics.... Who would imagine that?

There are Major Spoilers for Amazon’s Fallout and no warning.

Bravo, Todd Howard. We forgive you for Starfield.

Who else misses the days when a TV show season consisted of 24 episodes?

Wait, so the Shady Sands event WASN'T in 2077?

Incredibly annoying of you to make this look like an interview and then show eight seconds of the interview

The TV Show is AMAZING! ✌🏻🤓

you missed Van Buren :p

The only issue now is geography. The show looks like it appears entirely in the LA area, but Shady Sands is supposed to be up around Mt Whitney

16x the detail!

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is missing from this timeline. It should be directly after FO1.

Even if the nuke happened after the events of FNV and is a seperate event from the Fall of Shady Sands I'm pretty sure some of the characters in FNV would've mentioned something about it in the game if the capital had already fallen.. No one did though. So, it still seems like an inconsistency to me.

Is that.... a FAX MACHINE behind Todd Howard??

Two point: Tactics isn’t canon and they’ve already greenlit season 2 of the show.

Please let there be a season 2

You forgot PS2 exclusive game Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel

okie dokie

And we still get ghoul serum

Sad that NCR is declining fast after NV. So can we say that NCR lost the damn then? Who's the canon Victor of NV, house?

It doesn't always need to. That's why we like it.

Very happy that Jonathan Nolan doesn't have the weird aversion to bloody violence that Christopher has. Can't believe that was how his brother went about shooting Dunkirk.

This how witcher should be done, until the writer thought she was better than the source material and games. Thrash writer.

Sooooo, what's Cannon for New Vegas, NCR or Yes Man?

Could we intrude josha gram he still be alive

If Hodd Toward says so.

For a new game it would be fun to be born in the wasteland and meet a vault dweller, and then go into vaults and learn what happened there. There should be multiple options to be like 31 right

"The Burned man" A.K.A. Joshua Graham, is my favorite character from Fallout New Vegas Please talk about your favorite companions (or characters) in the fallout timeline

If you're still complaining about whats canon and whats not at this point after everyone has been so clear, you're not a real fallout fan.

What the cannon ending tho on vegas

Sounds like they’ve learnt lessons from halo

Does this mean Tactics is canon again?

Now we need an Elderscrolls show or a new game ,who agrees

How did Shady Sands teleport 250 miles south? It doesn't make sense that it's that far from Vault 13... The show isn't canon

everything that happened in New Vegas is canon. New Vegas: *multiple endings* the public: ???

No super mutants 😢

I'm really happy to see Todd Howard still has potential for whats effectively his babies. He still has it in him, we just need a better engine or a massively overhauled creation engine.

Great video

Who should play the lone wanderer? If season 2 is set in new vegas? Cameo or someone playing him...

season 2 please

100999/10

Now if only they would clarify that the ghoul is not huffing radaway, so a large group of people on the Internet can stop saying it already 😂

We need a fallout set in Alabama or somewhere here in the southeast

HALO, TAKE NOTES.

Remember shady sands 🫡

Fallout fit well with a tv show tbh

Can someone please list the entire fallout timeline including the tv show here in list form

just think what halo could have been

So imagine the amount of Drama with an Elder Scrolls show ^^ Because pro Fallout Lore fans are one thing but the pro Elder Scroll ones ...

Imagine if the Halo Show got the same treatment.

shady sands is on the wrong geographical location, NRC is bigger than Shady Sands, there are a ton of inconsistencies

Mienteme todd mientemeeeee 🤤

everything that happened in the games happened in the universe. Yeah? im curious how they're going to weave in the alien abductions and destroying of mothership zeta. rofl.

Dont think fallout tactics is lore tbh

Is the show bugged too?

Congratulations IGN, in true IGN fashion, you’ve successfully said a lot of words without actually saying anything of value. We’ve already known it’s canon for a long time now, we want to know what the deal is with with the 2277 date that’s all over the show, and how it’s supposed to fit within existing canon. What’s worse, you show the whiteboard with the fall of shady sands in 2277 on it, and then pretend that it doesn’t cause mass confusion, and doesn’t need to be explained

Shady Sands and New Vegas got destroyed, so our achievements in the games were for nothing......

How about a spoiler warning before the video!!! Jeez!

Wanted to know what happen to fallout 76 dwellers after 150+yrs

So the fall of shady sands, even though the black board states 2277 with a mushroom cloud. What the people in vault 4 have got this wrong?

Amazon would be insane not to give the green light for season 2 considering the overwhelming success of this show.

Finally, it’s confirmed. The bomb on Shady Sands happened AFTER New Vegas. Can you NW gatekeeper please btfo now?

Hi

Don't worry guys, if we don't like the show then the modders can fix it.

Fallout 4 was by far the best game

🤘🏄

Fallout Rotten Apple 🍎
