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.

What do you call it when even the shark has jumped the shark?

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.

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.

It's cheaper to make hollywood slop than video games.

Swing and a miss.

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.

Enshittification comes even from previously unseen angles.

Good news everyone, we created the Torment Nexus reality TV show, from the game "Don't create the Torment Nexus"

Ew

"Amazon announces a cheap way to bank on an existing franchise"

A reality show vault? Not even Vault-Tec had any experiments that were that cruel.

Lmao the Steam Post has 0 likes

Games getting turned into a massive franchises tend to put me off of the entire thing

So Big Brother then. With a theme.

This is like designing a Game of Thrones fighting game.

You can throw all the clever nods you want into the product. You can read the source material to high heaven and spend all the time in the world perfecting it. You can hire the best and brightest fighting game devs to come in and design the best game ever.

Fundamentally it will never work. Game of Thrones’ charm is in its politics, feeling of isolation, and world building. There’s no way to bring anything out of that in a fighting game. As soon as you put Renly against Joeffry in a match to the death anyone that’s a fan will just look at the product befuddled.

For this reality show you’re taking a franchise that’s known for its single player experience and tight top notch writing for both the games (at least 1 and 2) and tv show and stripping that away in favor of a format that encourages none of that. All it’s going to be is some weird challenge with loser kids going “OMG I WASNT EXPECTING THAT!!” and “What. The. Fuck. “ for 30 minutes. It’s not going to be good. And it’s gonna be a shit stain on the franchise.

Is it just me or does this feel tone deaf?

What the hell? Premise they’re going with just makes it any other gameshow. Missed opportunity to have each “Vault” have some kind of unique experiment or twist.

Plot twist: Nuclear war happens while contestants are in vault

So... They're inventing Big Brother, but with lore?

That's fucking stupid. Why? Who asked for this? Just make the damn games. Maybe I'm biased because I think this sort of thing is unentertaining trash, but I legitimately don't think that Fallout fans like this sort of thing.

Sounds like Fallout-themed Squid Game.

Also, Bethesda is not going to make a new Fallout game while Fallout 76 keeps printing money. Same with Elder Scrolls Online. The amazing thing isn't just how far Bethesda has fallen, it's how many people keep propping them up.
