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.
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.
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.
What do you call it when even the shark has jumped the shark?
Sharknado?
It’s cheaper to make hollywood slop than video games.
Swing and a miss.
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
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.
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.
Enshittification comes even from previously unseen angles.
This feels a step above. Dysenterification?
Ew
