Fallout Shelter (working title) is a new reality competition series based on the hit Amazon drama and computer game of the same name. The dwellers (contestants) live together in a top-secret vault, where they will compete in a series of games that tests the seven core attributes from the Fallout world. Strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck (S.P.E.C.I.A.L).
The series will not only test dwellers’ core attributes, but also their loyalty and alliances. It’s a game of power dynamics, popularity and social strategy which will ultimately result in a huge cash prize, but do you have what it takes to be the most S.P.E.C.I.A.L?.
I am sort of speechless, but for all the wrong reasons.
Of course, gotta milk the success of the show for all it’s worth. Amazon is gonna fumble the bag so hard if they try to keep cashing in like this.
the show is ok but this is dumb i don’t like it
Breaking news! Zenimax is still completely out of touch with it’s fan base.
Reality show
a series of games
If you want a reality show, just drop people into one of the weirder vaults and that’s it.
Real life vault 106 let’s gooooo
Vault 108. Only one actual Gary, but everyone needs to pretend to be Gary. The exact rules need some thinking but it shouldn’t be too hard to come up with something.
Testing SPECIAL with games seems boring. They should do a multi layered social deduction game instead, where everyone has different goals, lies to another and nobody really understands what is going on until the end.
So some contestants are actors, and think they know where the show is going, but they are tricked as well.
I was thinking irradiate them and give them guns, but your idea works too.
It’s cheaper to make hollywood slop than video games.
Swing and a miss.
shut up todd.
Reality TV. Reality TV never changes…
Just get people to agree to live in crowded vaults and have them sign a waver accepting any and all psychological torture performed on them. That’s a functional Fallout reality show.
that’s just real life at this point, with algo social media
What if we made it Vault 68, 69, or 43. No psychological torture required for any of them. That or if you really want to fuck with someone we have Vault 77 or Vault 12, Vault 12 would be particularly vile since then you’d have to be in Bakersfield.
Enshittification comes even from previously unseen angles.
This feels a step above. Dysenterification?
Good news everyone, we created the Torment Nexus reality TV show, from the game “Don’t create the Torment Nexus”
“Amazon announces a cheap way to bank on an existing franchise”
Ew
A reality show vault? Not even Vault-Tec had any experiments that were that cruel.
Didn’t they, though? https://fallout.wiki/wiki/Vault_11
Or vault 81. One side had a full community to be tested on and observed, the other side had scientists watching the experiment.
It’s just a shame hardly any scientists showed up. They’d have had some great tv to watch after starting their molerat experiments.
Yeah… this seems pretty on brand really.
Actually, it seems really well themed, a messed up reality show is exactly the kind of thing you might find in a vault. The thing to remember though, is that Vault-Tec is supposed to be satirical… Bethesda should not become Vault-Tec because that would be unethical… Right Bethesda… Right?
Todd Howard cannot hear you for he is too busy CHIMing.
