Bethesda claims trademarks on “post-nuclear apocalyptic television program”

Vault-Tec

I’m no rocket surgeon, but when the company that holds the rights to the Fallout series registers a trademark for “an on-going television program set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world”, even I can put two and two together and make five.

This news of course follows the reveal from last week that the voice actor who plays the part of Three Dog in Fallout 3 claimed “there may be more of the Dog coming”, and that he was “given permission to release that tease”.

So! Fallout TV show or miniseries, then. Let’s all sit back and practice our ‘surprised’ faces for when the official announcement rolls in.

Personally, I would rather an Elder Scrolls TV series with the kind of depth and epicness and vulgarity of Game of Thrones.

Post-Apocalyptic Fallout? They will probably dumb it down for family audiences along the lines of “Revolution” which is a yawn fest.

 

Hmmm Official Nuka Break partnership?

 

lordapophis,

Hmmm, The Elder Scrolls is really just generic high fantasy when it comes down it though. Fallout on the other hand has a somewhat unique atmosphere to it. If they can manage to capture the zany, 50′s style retro-futurism into a sort of action-comedy style show then they’ll have something that will stand out.
