Fallout 3 intro

This page details the intro to Fallout 3.

Background
In the intro, a vacuum tube components flicker as the camera pans back from the pre-war radio. This reveals a derelict bus and a ruined city as the radio plays "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" sung by The Ink Spots. Above the bus windows, there are posters encouraging people to enlist with the US Army and to reserve a place in a Vault (featuring the Vault Boy). The camera then moves outside the bus, showing a ruined city, some Art Deco architecture and a Corvega ad, and finally, a Brotherhood of Steel paladin in T-45d power armor with a newer model of the Laser Rifle, and a Brotherhood of Steel symbol on their breastplate.

Narration
When the city intro fades to black, Ron Perlman's narration begins and states:

Teaser
The cinematic teaser trailer for Fallout 3, consisting of the first part of the intro, was released by Bethesda Softworks on June 5, 2007, after a 30 day countdown on the Fallout 3 website. During the countdown, a new piece of concept art by Craig Mullins was revealed on every Tuesday. The teaser fades to black after the end of the cinematic part, and we hear only the first four words of the narration: "War. War never changes". Then the text "Fallout 3" appears and changes into "Fall 2008". The text of the narration was revealed in July 2007 in Australia's Atomic Magazine.
