VenomUK,
Sure, no worries. I’ll try to explain what I mean. Retrofuturism would be like what we think the future would look like from today. Good example of that would be something like The Jetsons, where people in the past/present imagine what the future would be like (in that case, it was 2062 which was a century after the series premiered).
I had to double-check, but the first Fallout apparently took place in 2161, following a nuclear war in 2077. The way the world was actually seemed like “the future, according to someone in the 1950s”. When Bethesda took over, this was continued, but it slowly integrated the 60s/70s aesthetics. It gets weird and confusing by the time you get to Fallout 76, which actually predates Fallout 1. For some reason, this game has a 70s aesthetic, despite being closer to the Great War… So… Did everything regress, or is Bethesda just moving forward in the decades with every iteration?
Maybe it’s intentional, but it seems like they didn’t really get it.
