Fallout 4 - Fallout Shelter Announce on Amazon Prime Video - Steam News
store.steampowered.com
Good morning, prospective Vault Dwellers! In order to best serve you in What Comes Next, we need volunteers for a very real, very scientific opportunity to beta test a better society. Visit this website if you’d like to join Fallout Shelter, a new series full of escalating challenges, strategic dilemmas, and moral conundrums. Good luck!

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.

    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.

    I had to check what community I’m in, still can’t believe this is not the Onion.

        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?

      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.

    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.

        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.

    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.
