Fallout co-creator lets slip who shot first in the great nuke war
30.10.2023 - 16:03 / destructoid.com / Tim Cain
Over the years, there’s been debate among fans about who fired the first nukes that kick-started the events of Fallout. Well, it looks as though this has been answered, as Tim Cain let the cat out of the vault, so to speak.
In a recent conversation with YouTube channel TKs-Mantis, Cain – who co-created the first two Fallout games – let it slip that China struck first. At around the 1:26:40 mark, he discusses the reason why America was nuked as part of the lore, related to how the US was creating an artificial virus known as FEV. It’s then China is mentioned in the conversation, basically confirming the country was the first to strike when the states refused to cooperate.
Host Mantis then, with raised eyebrows, tells Cain that what he just said was “earth-shattering.” At this point, Cain becomes a little coy, seemingly unaware that Fallout fans were not sure who “shot first,” adding, “Oh, well then I don’t know… Who knows? It was probably some rogue nation.”
Leonard Boyarsky – the other co-creator of the early Fallout entries – has gone on record saying that it doesn’t really matter who launched the first attack. However, this recent slip up from Cain basically confirms what some may already have suspected.
In any case, it’s a neat little bit of extra lore for those who are big into the post-apocalyptic franchise’s universe. Who launched the first nuclear bombs is something that’s been talked about for over two and a half decades. Now, it looks like we have closure.
On top of that, we’ve also recently learned that the Fallout TV show releases in April 2024. With the success of the Last of Us adaptation, others will no doubt be wanting to follow in those footsteps.

PS5 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Bundle Launches in India Tomorrow, Priced at Rs. 49,390
Sony is gearing up to launch the PS5's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III bundle in India. The cross-gen package will be available from November 10 onwards, but unlike in the US, the publisher isn't selling the new slim version of the console here yet. Players will receive the standard 4K Blu-ray drive-equipped PS5, alongside a voucher code for Activision's upcoming marquee shooter, at Rs. 49,390. This is part of an ‘introductory offer' running until November 23, during which the bundle's price has been slashed by Rs. 10,000 — after which, it will cost Rs. 59,390, which is the base price for any PS5 game bundle.

In Call of Duty's most infamous mission, Infinity Ward was 'basically just trying to think of the most atrocious things that could happen'
October 28 marked 20 years of the Call of Duty series, as part of which some of the key designers have been talking about the greatest moments. The foundation for its overwhelming success, however, will always be original developer Infinity Ward, in particular the leap forward the studio made with the Modern Warfare series. It delivered an unforgettable and oft-controversial singleplayer campaign reflecting one view of contemporary geopolitics, alongside a best-in-class multiplayer experience that the wider series has followed ever since.

The Great Below is an Inscryption-style horror game that could be a metaphor for nuclear waste disposal
Some people sing the praises of "visceral" games. Others extol the virtues of "immersive" games. Me, I'm increasingly drawn to "perverse" games. No, not like that. Well, not entirely like that. I mean "perverse" more straightforwardly as in deliberately awkward and unreceptive in their core design, almost self-defeating in a way that has you saying "WTF?" and hankering to know more.
