That includes Amazon’sFalloutseries from Westworld and Person Of Interest writer/director Jonathan Nolan, which just got its first trailer. It certainly looks like Fallout, which is a good start. The trailer features vaults with big, rolling doors and vault dwellers with bright blue overalls, a noseless ghoul, Brotherhood of Steel power armour, and enemies including radroaches and yao guai....
