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.
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
What do you call it when even the shark has jumped the shark?
Sharknado?
Swing and a miss.
It’s cheaper to make hollywood slop than video games.
shut up todd.
I had to check what community I’m in, still can’t believe this is not the Onion.
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
Good news everyone, we created the Torment Nexus reality TV show, from the game “Don’t create the Torment Nexus”
I’m half expecting Peter Thiel to say “maybe we should build a bunch of fallout shelters and then initiate a nuclear holocaust so we can outlast all our enemies, and also run some experiments while we’re at it” in an interview tomorrow, wearing a vault suit and giving a thumbs up.
Ew
“Amazon announces a cheap way to bank on an existing franchise”
Lmao the Steam Post has 0 likes
Enshittification comes even from previously unseen angles.
This feels a step above. Dysenterification?
A reality show vault? Not even Vault-Tec had any experiments that were that cruel.
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?
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.
