Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show
-
I'm bummed there's no good single player fallout after fallout 4.
And Fallout 4 was kind of mediocre.

Agreed, but it is a great platform to mod the heck out of. I recommend Wasteland Reborn, if you're looking for a stable modlist.

And Fallout 4 was kind of mediocre.
Besides the main story (an incredible important element), it was good. The location lore was interesting. The radiant quests were fucking stupid. Most of the side quests were decent. It's overhated imo. Nuka-Cola World was boring as shit besides the Hubbologists, I'm not gonna lie.

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.
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.

The quality of the Fallout TV show to me is somewhere post-season 4 Dexter. Not at Dexter's worst but far from great. It is watchable. Entertaining enough. Not very memorable. Good for syndicated reruns background noise while you eat. Milking something that doesn't have a very high peak

I never finished it. I was having a blast until I saw that I needed to collect a bunch of shit to upgrade the town. I lost interest so fast.

That's actually one of my favorite parts, it's like a feed into itself incentive for my already packrat tendencies.
Now instead of just taking all their weapons/armor/clothes to sell, the random junk is also useful for when I get back home and can upgrade the town, my weapons, or my armor!

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. -

No. Just…. No.

Games getting turned into a massive franchises tend to put me off of the entire thing
Yeah. This makes me really dislike Fallout now.

So Big Brother then. With a theme.

I've said this all along, they want subscriptions and mtx, they don't want to make video games. Starfield was the last one we will get and we only got that because it was Todd's stupid baby. ESO and F76 are where they want to be going forward. They will keep expanding them and accepting people's money and license TV shows now I guess.

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.

Coming in 2033 if they follow the schedule they have been with game releases.

I think it's better than that. The fact that it's so incredibly close to the games visually was a nice surprise.

They need to finish TES VI before they start on the next fallout. And the "announcement" trailer for that was like 6 years ago

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