A Nuka Cola to anyone that gets the reference on my jumper (sweater to any Americans!)

You forgot to mention a big history point. The integrated microchip was NEVER invented in the Fallout universe. So all their technology is analog and nuclear based. This is the main reason why their technology is stuck in a 50s futurism look.

To be fair, the future of Shady Sands was indeed looking very bright for a brief moment...

I have to say, watching the chain of nukes detonating was a pretty terrifying visual.

101097 passcode .Fallout was released on October 10, 1997

There’s a lot to Walton’s Goggins ghoul that we don’t know and the end of the tv show left us with more questions, he is by far the most interesting character in the show

Mr. House being a Gen Alpha makes so much sense

Fallout lore is a complete insanity, in the best possible way

mr house is a 4 year old at the moment.

It's also worth mentioning that Mr. Robert House created the RobCo Patcher, making modifying Fallout 4 as easy as apple pie.

A lot of fallout content lately, and I'm all for it

The fact that vault tec could literally stop the war with their cold fusion making me question “ what the world will be in the next 5 decades with this atompunk technology “

Fallout's style isn't based on the 1950's. It's based on what people in the 50's thought the future would look like.

Seriously, how underrated is Walton Goggins? No matter the show or role, he's never disappointed me.

Iv never really thought of the Pip Boy being the Fallout Universe's Iphone, but it pretty much is. Only ever playing Fallout 3 way back in 2008 I phones were still quite new, so I didn't quite make the connection back then. Fallout's universe really its the culture that halted, while everything else accelerated further then beyond even our own time line. We might have affordable 70 inch flatscreen tvs, but they had nuclear powered CRT's that could run for 1000 years. The people of the fallout universe (before the great war) would look at our own technology and think we were backward.

as someone who has almost zero knowledge about the games (except for a few vague memmories about 4) this is a perfect video to get me back on track with the new tv show. Thank you! Well done

Everyone always mentions that Matthew Perry played Benny in FNV, but I never hear people mention that Doc Mitchell is played by the same dude who played Colonel Saul Tighe in Battlestar Galactica. I think Danny Trejo is in FNV too. They had some dope VA's over the years.

The explosion at the beginning was perfectly done.

has anyone checked on 4 y/o Robert House lately??

Really appreciate this vid. Great research and production. Also managed to make the fallout timeline understandable. Thanks very much!

One important timeline difference between Fallout and the real world is that the transistor and Microchip were not invented during the mid 20th century in the fallout timeline.

This was the UKposts we all needed. Thank you very very very much.

In the prologue section you missed the fact that in 76 some us troops in a training simulation watched the bombs fall. Its all in recordings and is important to the lore of the brotherhood of Steel

This has been discussed ad nauseum. Shady Sands was not nuked in 2177. The timeline describes that the decline of the NCR happened in 2177 and then (separated by a dash) the town of Shady Sands was nuked sometime after. Shady Sands existed and is mentioned by members of the NCR during the events of Fallout New Vegas in 2281 so it had to have been blown up after the Second Battle of the Hoover Dam and after the conclusion of the DLC for FO:NV.

Great overview! I've played NV and 4, and loved the TV show, and I was looking for a good overview of the full series to fill in the gaps. Thanks!

thank u love this series great to see so many fans come together this show has put some new life back to the series

Best time line video bro ! loved it

Hank's wife in the show discovered a clue about a settlement on the surface. She then found shady sands and wanted to stay. Hank then took the kids and destroyed the settlement.

Thank you for the timeline breakdown.

You did a great job man. 👌

Shady Sands wasn't destroyed in 2277, it's downfall began in 2277.

Thank you for this video as a new player because of the new show, great to have more knowledge of the lore!

Shady Sands was NOT NUKED IN 2277! The "Fall of Shady Sands" occurred in 2277 and the nuke happened afterwards. At what year, we don't know.

Great Video! As someone who only had some knowledge of fallout but never truly played the games I thank you for all of the information and attention to detail. I just started watching the show and this is exactly what I was looking for prior to watching it. Thank you!

Thank you! That was exactly what I needed.

Absolutely fantastic video great job

"coop is like the John Wayn-" it's easy to see the mistake but he's more in line with the Audey Murphy of that world. he's a war hero turned movie actor much like coop was in the show.

I was hoping someone would make this type of video. I'm a fan of the games but loved the show so this helped it make sense

It would be amazing if Danny Trejo played Raul again in the second season as its set in nv. Raul is a ghoul so he should still be alive.

I appreciate this and glad my timing was perfect as I just started watching the TV show today.

Thanks for this

i feel like jumping from the cold war to 2020 without explaining what happened inbetween is extremely confusing lol

I love all the in game music you added to the video. The world music is the best

thanks this was well done, had forgotten so much about fallout 3 and 4 ^^

One thing i like about fallout is how the characters you play have names that aren't a name, it's a title. The lone wonderer The chosen one The courier The sole survivor

I ABSOLUTLEY LOVED this video. Thanks for making such a comprehensive timeline video. Cheers!

That's an impressive summary, thank you!

thank you... never got into the games, but was at least aware of them..... this has made it all make a lot more sense!

Love this video!! Great work! One thing though: Shady Sands was nuked closer to 2281. Todd Howard confirmed in an interview recently with IGN that it was nuked after the events of Fallout: New Vegas. People just misread the timeline. The Nuke on the timeline in the show indicated an event AFTER the denoted "Fall of Shady Sands" meaning they are actually separate events.

Lol this show... f'ing 36k people playing FO76 right now. . . BRUH. I was there week 1, that game was on life support until this show lol.

Tremendous video showcasing the tremendous lore of Fallout. I can't wait to see who the man in the shadows of Vault-Tec really is in Season 2 of the show.

Thx for the rundown :)

Awesome havent seen 1 and 2 for EVER! My bro used to play it i was always so lost! But it had an awesome interface! Cheers 4 a great work!

Guess I made a relaxing music mix right on time! Nice!

Way to go gamespot. This is actually a great video!

Thank heck someone made this because the timeline was good but really jumpy for me to figure out 😅

Fallout 3’s intro of you growing up is the best fallout intro and it’s not close.

This is great! Love to see the older games get a shout out, though I think it would had been better if you did a series explaining each game in the timeline as the clip notes for each are kinda haphazard and not entirely right with a lot of neat important lore glossed over. Also I'm not sure if 76 should be considered canon since it really breaks the lore established down the timeline, from the brotherhood, to super mutants, the tech and what have you (I'm aware they have some hokey justifications but it still really doesn't make sense in the scheme of things) Would be nice if you also did a look into the Fallout Bible/ original Fallout 3 (Van Buren) since quite a number of ideas did seep into the Bethesda iterations. *also a tiny editing gripe since it's a bit misleading to those who didn't play it, when mentioning killing the head of the Enclave at the end of Fallout 2 part, that's not the president but Special Agent Frank Horrigan the baddest Gen1 Super Mutant! Ah I can still remember the 1st time you meet him good memories! poor family...

Very comprehensive. Thank you.

Kudos to the effort, quite vivid description! I have started a channel primarily with FALLOUT 4 base building!

Sheesh man, great work!!

27:56 uhhhh nice option #1 with Benny, gotta love the modding community

Great timeline summary! I love the series (apart from F4 which doesn't run on any of my current and past PCs LOL).

Great video GameSpot :]

Errm. I don't think vault 76 was the first one to open. Vault 8 (which became Vault city) opened 10 years after the war and I think that there was some vault that opened just a year after.

Just finished the show and I thought it was pretty good

Small detail, but ty so much for telling us to skip a minute to avoid spoilers

Love how you said a megaton idk if you meant that or not but it was cool 🔥❤️

Fallouts style isn’t based on the 1950’s it’s based on what they think would happen if we completely embraced nuclear power. Since small microchips were never invented they never moved on from the big boxy looking stuff

Man it's crazy how good to show was

So hard listening to you say Arroyo. But meticulous detail! This is fantastic!

Your Dogmeat plush is so ADORABLE!

"you're a hero... and you have to leave"

Something also worth mentioning is the creation of the BoS as the ancestor of the group of soldiers tasked with overseeing Mariposa (the place where the FEV was researched on) before the great war. Additionally the cursedness of the newly mutated wildlife is also thanks to said FEV ending up in the atmosphere shortly after the apocalypse, causing the virus to mutate due to radiation and essentially turning the usual mutation caused by nuclear fallout up by 100000

The show is literally so good dude I’m gonna go back and play the games now or something I need to get more of this universe. They did a great job with the show.

I have this exact fallout 4 poster, which is behind you! Ah brings back memories...

38:00 Destroyed by a nuclear blast "after" 2277, its crazy out there and people are fighting over this.

It was not no surprise that her father was not who he said he was considering playing majority of the fallout series. You would smell it a mile away on the start.

So many clever word plays i was more so sat waiting for the next one rather than actually paying attention 😂

Awesome video 👍🏼

I really enjoyed Fallout Tactics. It was a lot of fun. "My name is Sgt. Arugula."

Lol’d at the thumbnail with the dollar store version of Ella Purnell

Great video. A must-watch for Fallout fans!

Great vid, thanks.

Fallout 76 is such a good replica of WV. I enjoy nothing more in life than the 5 minute walk from the capitol of Charleston in Central WV to the beautiful cranberry glades in northeastern WV.

The people hating on Fallout 76 clearly need our support. For 5 bottle caps you can get them the help they need to move on and touch grass.

INCREDIBLE VIDEO

I know this isn’t the topic of the video or anything, but what were the mods/graphics settings you used in the fallout 4 gameplay sections?

Correction: Shady Sands got nuked after 2277, probably after New Vegas events (Maximus was 8-10yo in his flashback). And NCR didn't get cold fusion, The BoS did..

27:57 Bro, what are you trying to do with poor Benny?

Good job

love your shirt. used to read tintin books all the time.

Shady Sands wasn't exploded in 2277, more likely to be exploded in 2282

Robert House is 4 years old now. He better get to work.

I am just so happy to see the fallout series getting all this lore. Is such a good game and world overall.

5:00 a fantastic actor who deserves an Emmy!

One small additional thing about the chronology of Vault 101: Expeditions outside of the vault started in 2241 at the latest - the same time Fallout 2 takes place. Megaton is already a place and the Giant Ants that blight the raiders of the nearby school 36 years later are also documented, this is all in the Overseer's Terminal as you leave Vault 101 for the first time, though it's probably still there if you return later.

I'll have to disagree with the point of Shady Sands being destroyed in 2277, instead proposing it actually happens somewhere around 2282 I've got a few points I want to make that backup my theory, which isn't all that unpopular in the Fallout community that isn't huffing paint fumes. 1. The "Fall of Shady Sands" drawing we see points from the "Fall" towards the nuke, so we can assume that the fall predated the destruction 2. We don't hear any NCR soldiers in New Vegas talk about Shady Sands as a "never forget" topic and it's never mentioned to be destroyed at all and since the game takes place in 2281, we can assume that Shady Sands was around at least until the events of Fallout New Vegas 3. How did the NCR fall this much since the events of New Vegas? Well, it's pretty clear that the NCR was heavily stressed in their extended campaign in the Mojave after the First battle of Hoover Dam. The first battle of Hoover dam was in 2277, which was also the year that we saw the "Fall of shady sands" happened. We can easily assume that a combination of economic stress from their unchecked expansion into the Mojave and the toll of the battle, as well as a possible supply chain issue and even something like political corruption or scandal with President Kimball prior to his reelection in 2278 could start to cause the "Fall" of Shady Sands and the NCR as a whole. The destruction of Shady Sands was more a nail in the coffin of the NCR than anything else. 4. The ages of Lucy and Maximus as portrayed in the show appear to be early to mid 20's, and since Lucy had no memory of Shady Sands but Maximus did, we can assume that Lucy was around 6 years old and Maximus was around 10 years old when Shady Sands was destroyed (Based on the flashbacks), leaving the earliest possible date for the nuke being around 2282. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

great video man, you remind me of Edmund Kemper, amazing sutff

I find it humorous that describing the deathclaws as savage beasts is voiced over a scene of one talking to you. I know it’s probably intentional, but still funny.
