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.
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.
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.
I’ve played over 200 hours of Fallout 76 without spending a dime. It’s got more content than Fallout 4 by now and you don’t even have to care about multiplayer. Saying they don’t want to make games is just stupid.
I’m not sure what your point is - is it that they made Fallout 76 so you could play it for free? Or that Fallout 76 is proof they’re going to make Fallout 5? Or what.
There’s zero chance there won’t be a Fallout 5 but Elder Scrolls is their next major game, so it won’t be soon. In the meantime there’s a great free Fallout game for anyone who wants it despite it not being titled Fallout 5. It doesn’t require a subscription or microtransactions and making it sound like some sort of mobile game only shows you don’t know what it is.
If it came out tomorrow it wouldn’t be “soon,” Fallout 4 came out 11 years ago.
The game is currently listed for $39.99 on Steam. Reviews are “mixed” after 5 years of Bethesda adding content to the game, which originally released to overwhelmingly negative reviews, so not “great”.
The game does not charge for a subscription, but you most certainly have to have one, because you have to login to the game. There would be no way for them to try and sell you shit through their microtransaction store every single time you login otherwise. Which they do. You are not obliged to buy them, but you are obliged to view ads for them.
Now then. Every single thing you just said is demonstrably wrong. What exactly makes you the authority on what Bethesda intends to do with Fallout?
Sometimes I forget people don’t have Game Pass lol. I haven’t bought anything from Steam in over 5 years.
So it’s not free, you have to give Bethesda/Microsoft money every month and when you stop doing so, you lose access to all the games. Game Pass Ultimate has tripled in price over 8 years and there’s no reason to believe they won’t keep raising it. Lower tiers haven’t risen as much I guess, but have been nerfed instead (no more day 1 new games, yay)
If you have a TON of free time, game pass is a good deal for sure, but at this point with all the price hikes, a few months of game pass is one brand new AAA game or 2-3 excellent indie or AA titles and I’d wager it takes the average adult several months to finish one truly big game like BG3 or Elden Ring (just to name two excellent games with decent scope from recent years), as time is a scarce resource.
