@@andyArt5 it is definitely expensive but it is not priced that way just because the show hype. It was always pricier. The jacket is made in the US with an expensive material that is also made in the US. Quality is not cheap
That little clip of Red Dead Redemption….can you imagine a live adaptation of Arthur and Micah and Dutch….so much material, side missions you can bring to life….OH MY GOD
I think red dead belongs as a game, as cool as a live action adaptation would be, it’s already beautiful in its story and world it doesn’t need to be done again EDIT: well maybe I could see it after a few more years it could just be too soon
Depending on the casting, I would fall head over heels for a Red Dead show. It has potential, even if they do an original story with some of the same characters.
Yep, the video game curse has been broken for years now. But people don't wanna watch anything which is animated cause they feel like it is a cartoon and not cinematic art. Everyone saying LOU broke this curse is just ignorant.
Exactly.. n rhose had their own unique stories.. this show is just retelling a story already told in a video game that was tryin to be cinematic like a movie, i don’t think it was some amazing feat to adapt an already well told story n just turn it into a tv show lol
A live screen adaptation of Solitaire would be a balls-out thrill ride. Filled with danger, mirth and the eternal human struggle to draw three or just coast along on draw one.
I don't play these types of video games, don't like or watch the adaptions, and don't like zombie movies or shows, yet here I am addicted to The Last of Us! It is fantastic, and it is so encouraging to see the creativity brought to life.
I agree, I'm not a zombie fan since it has been done to death (no pun intended). But LoU is so much more about how people would act. And I loved how they used a real live fungus to explain the outbreak. Genus writing...
I wouldn't be interested in a BioShock series, I feel what makes the BioShock storytelling so good is how it engages with the medium of video games. Especially BioShock 1.
I’m pissed that Scorpions Legends doesn’t get talked about more in these discussions only mk fans talk about them I wish people would talk about that movie more
The TV show about the first earth realm win was pretty lore filled. It wasn't as good as sam raimis action adventure shows but it wasn't as bad as the knock off Heracles and Xena shows.
Hopefully it will! I've preached since marvel started the MCU to friends and family that studios are finally figuring out that if they put forth the effort, care, and time into these adaptations they can succeed! That there are millions of consumers who will enjoy it, and pay money to do so! Not to mention the the years, possibly decades, of sorce material. Marvel/Disney took a chance and showed its possible potential and I think other creators/adapters are starting to take notice and make the initiative(Hopefully)!
The MCU is the worst example. It ruined it's adoptions. They are just whored put for the kids and the casuals. Gone is Iron Man drinking problem. Original Ant Man and his wife beaging gone. The MCU is a mess.
@@turnerjazz7872 I’m not sure I agree with him on the perception, but part of the reason the perception lingers is because people keep bringing it up. You don’t hear it with comic book movies and that perception is not out there for comic movies.
On a similar vein, I kind of wish The Witcher was picked up by HBO instead of Netflix. We might have got a decent apadaptation instead of whatever seasons 2+ is supposed to be.
great video Ryan, definitely agree with your point that this is a milestone moment for game adaptations, despite there already being some great animated ones. Hollywood is all about the “broad audience” and TLoU is the first to check all the boxes. love the content!!
There are plenty of other video game adoptions turned into movies or TV shows that are successful. A few of them are on Netflix like Castlevania.. the other one I forget the name of it with the girl with the blue hair sisters. And then there’s the sonic movies at least part one for me. It was awesome I loved it so the last of us is not the first video game adapted TV show that is successful.
On the real, that Huckberry jacket is legit. I’ve had mine for four years and it’s been everywhere with me, through all kinds of adventures and experiences. I was so excited to see it pop up in The Last of Us.
Last of Us did so well because when you play the game it feels like you watching a movie and when goes live adaptation the studio put effort to include the people behind the game to write and produce it. Other adaptation flops because of some execs think some fans will go hype for live adaptation of a game. That is why a fanmade short movie always better adaptation than big budget live adaptation game movie.
TLOU also has the advantage of having a narrative that fits a show adaptation, it already operates like a show anyways. It’s something that has an easier time to figuring out how to adapt because the story is basically already written and pre-visualized out
Like how star trek paved the way for lost in space, Battlestar, and Star Wars. Star Wars was the first sci-fi movie that showed Hollywood it was possible to make a profitable science fiction movie.if you can show Hollywood it can be done, they'll make an effort to really try.
Video game adaptations needs to be TV shows. Well, most of them. Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, etc, would have been a lot better if they were TV shows. Sonic was a great movie.

Curse is a myth the only way for a video game adaptation to work is if it either compliments or become faithful to the source material. Whether the source material is unfilmable is up for discussion, but at the end of the day all you need is a good friggin script.
Well, games focused around gameplay - like Mario, Assassins Creed and fighting games - don't have the elements to translate into a movie or series. So what remains is just a generic story, with cheap hints retrofitted in of the original IP.
@@fromawritersperspective The point is it still has a story just like the last of us. And the Witcher for example is the same but has a whole lore and story behind it.
There are so many video game movie adaptations that breaks that curse long ago. Before media claiming "The Last of Us" broke that curse. I'm not discrediting the show because people behind the show carefully take good care of the source material but i just don't believe of that curse in the first place. But media does.

Never played the game so my view is limited. However, the show is a masterpiece in story telling. The pacing, attention to detail, and acting is fantastic. The issue i struggle with (again never played the game) is that while the setting (US with limited population) now feels big, the notion of love and what people find as their safe place feels simple and small.

Werewolves Within. ANGRY BIRDS 2??? FOR SOME REASON WAS KIND OF GOOD??? IDK WHY??? The curse has been dead for 5+ years.
Damn Tom and Mark they were so Miscasted they ain’t sully and Nate I think Nathan Fillion would’ve been a great live action Nate it’s so weird not only do they steal the scene from uncharted 3 the plane scene without any real buildup and it feels faker than the game they also dress Nate up with his uncharted 3 look not the main look in the desert the one where he gets captured and finds a holster on the ship after talbot knocks him out I’m mad cause they didn’t give him his uncharted 1 look the beige shirt and light brown holster and blue jeans I wish we had a chronological Uncharted movie we start with golden abyss then work our way up to uncharted 1 it’s such a aggressively mid movie the action scenes fall flat and Tom Holland is acting like Spider-Man more than Nathan Drake he and sully feel so bland and non witty I hate how they changed how they met and Chloe is so boring and generic instead of the lovable Smart Ass it fails as an adaptation of uncharted it also steals the set piece of the ship from uncharted 4 without pulling it off nearly as well following it up with a dumb crazy action finale I’ve had my fair share of suspension of disbelief in the uncharted series but the movie really made me face palm 🤦♂️ but I love uncharted as a series but I don’t care for the movie also I feel like the last of us is a great adaptation of the source material so far ❤ and the cameo of Nolan north was at least a redeemable feature of that movie but those credit scenes of Nate wearing his Baseball shirt from the beta version of uncharted and Sully finally having a mustache and weairing the flashback shirt I felt nothing 😐 it’s just not them honestly they don’t feel like cigar badass Victor Sullivan and Smartass Nathan Morgan Drake also the Sam and Nate thing was really undercooked and underwhelming in the movie I know it’s unrealistic in such a small time frame but that’s what I’m talking about this didn’t need to be a movie also why introduce Chloe First and Not Elena
There were many popular fantasy shows before GoT. Supernatural, Lost, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood, Charmed, Hercules, Xena Warrior Princess and the list goes on.
Its probably that camp creeping through but I LOVE Mortal Kombat and will die on that hill. Annilation on the other hand, can perish in a dumpster fire 😆😆.
who would of thought that a show would turn out good when it sticks to the source material, and has passionate actors, and directors that dont actively bash and shit on the thing they're working on.
Well it helps that TLOU game basically operates as the pre-viz for how the show would film and write scenes. The game is one that is made for adaptation because it’s a narrative kind of game that works for the tv and film medium.
the next big game that deserves an adaptation is Jack Blacks BRUTAL LEGEND! can you imagine if that video game got the HBO treatment. so much could be done from puppetry, animatronics, and CGI to make it perfect. Story: Rock star Roadie travels to another time dimension where heavy metal reigns and a guitar can blow stuff up along w a magic axe can cause brutal DECAPITATIOOOOOON!!!
Kinda hard to call it a vg adaptation that broke the curse because TLoU is pretty much a cinematic game and the HBO version is literally just a live-action version of almost exactly the same scenes from the game.
So true this show really did break the curse. Hopefully, this show will pave the way for how to adapt a game appropriately to another medium. The good thing about this show is that it really does have a great story and making the adaptation of this game gave us so much time with characters we just couldn't in the game because you constantly fighting the infected and always looking around for things you need to survive.
I will defend Doom till my dying day. That movie rules. But yes, the last of us is by far the best adaptation we have ever gotten, and shows a bright future for video game adaptation. Please bring on the golden age of video game adaptations. I have a laundry list of adaptations I would love to see Done well.
Mass Effect!!!!!!!! I'd love to see a series on it. I know It would kinda difficult due to the character creation and male/fem sheps. But if we could come together as a fan base. I know it would be awesome!
Just do a femshep and Garrus. I think it's the strongest relationship noting that humans and Turians were at war. The Normandy is also a joint venture ship of both technologies.
Sonic 1 and 2 were pretty good even with the separation from the source material. Pokémon was close but they should have had more battles... Assassin's Creed was so upsetting...
Oh yeah. The problem was hollywood believed they needed to take the game and write their OWN story set in its universe to be enjoyable...but that is literally the opposite of what to do. The greatest success stories for any adaptive work has been when the show/film's adaptation was AS FAITHFUL AS POSSIBLE to the source material and only added/removed things out of necessity or worthwhile expansion. Bill and Frank were rather minor characters in the game, but by expanding their lives into a story arc of its own, a love story in the middle of an apocalypse, it IMPROVED the series 10-fold. Harry Potter, whilst contains a LOT of differences between book and film had things cut mostly due to time constraints of film-runtime requirements. Lord of the Rings, likewise. Both mediums stayed as faithful as feasibly possible to their source materials and so they both SHOWED what could be accomplished with adapted media. Last of Us is a newer/more recent, and perfect example of how to do adaptation well. So I hope the show-writers of wheel of time take notice and realize that for them to make a good...successful show, they'll have to stick to the source matieral.......better.....then they did in season 1.
4:51 it’s been widely reported that Mark Wahlberg was going to play Drake but then eventually he was relegated to playing Sully. This is why Sully is a much younger character in the movie.
I think the REAL test for The Last of Us will be when they get to the 2nd game’s content. With out any spoilers, there were/are quite a bit of concerns with the story as far as gamers go.
I've never played the game, but I did enjoy Werewolves Within. I imagine it's like the movie Clue, taking the game as a springboard. What of the movies that consciously or not seem inspired by videogrames? The Girl With All The Gifts was definitely inspired by The Last Of Us. I would even say Overlord was inspired by the Castle Wolfenstein games, with the WWII zombie super-soldiers and mysterious experiments. The movie is entirely set up as a timed mission to accomplish. And a lot of the "one-takes " in Children Of Men seem videogame inspired.
I wouldn't say TLOU was the first broke the video game movie curse (that goes to sonic 2) but I would say it's one of the first LIVE-ACTION SHOW to break the curse Either way it's a start
I never thought an on screen adaptation of Red Dead Redemption would work until episode 3 of The Last of Us. After seeing the quality of that episode, I now believe it is possible to bring Red Dead to life.
What scares me is that it is so good that all the studios will say: "Let's get on this train (while it lasts)" and either - 1: Just copy "The Last of Us" or similar good adaptation formulae and making a decent if lesser show OR 2: "Let's buy some popular IP and make a cheap show for a quick buck while this bandwagon is hot." You know... Like they used to? 😉I don't have to remind anyone about the many awful comic-book adaptations right before Marvel cleaned the slate with the first Iron-Man? Of course we also have the reverse bad movie to game tie ins? Again, I am just afraid that the studios will all be short-sighted and just see dollar signs and miss the point that it is easier in the long run to make good stuff to keep their popularity in the positive and also be known for quality. Unlike game publishers like EA or Activision-Blizzard. You know. 😛 Anyway, I have hope. Let's just pray that the studios know what they have and treat it with respect.
God please don’t mess up that Dead Space Movie I know Snake ass EA might ruin it but at least the multi media has portrayed dead space really well except the mainline Dead Space 3 but at least the remake of 1 was great and I’m hoping that they can adapt the franchise well ❤
I think the Warcraft setting would make for an excellent show. There's no way you could cram all of the original Trilogy into just 3 movies. And HBO seems more willing to stick to the original material than what many movie studios are willing to do.
I think it’s ridiculous that nobody has made a legend of Zelda live action film or series. It’s a simple story that could be built around the action and puzzle solving aspects of the game. And epic tale of a dude fight through castles and traps, to get muguffins and gear and save princesses ❤️.
I don't care what they say, the original 90s Super Mario Brothers movie was a fun adventure! I still love it as an adult! It's like if you took Mario world characters and placed them inside the Blade Runner universe!
I am so impressed with the last us adaptation BUT the story from the game is also waaaay better then most games so it is easier to adapt but ofc stil very impressive
The final season of Dexter, "Dexter: New Blood" was also great. To me, it showed that while the season 8 finale was a bad series finale, it worked fine as a season finale leading into the actual final season.
We all really hope that Hollywood takes the medium serious and finally breaks the curse for good. Hope they are able to take the blueprint from TLOU. Great future ahead for video games.
I LOVE Nolan’s Batman but I say 89 Batman did that. Then more of that movie universe fell through & WB started from scratch making it more campy. And Tobey in Spider-Man 3, thats what a nerdy guy would think was cool so it was meant to be cringey.
How convenient since TLOU was already a film-like interactive film game, it's story driven so it's linear and gameplay-wise so it's more cutscenes which has actors playing under mocaps...

Damn Tom and Mark they were so Miscasted they ain’t sully and Nate I think Nathan Fillion would’ve been a great live action Nate it’s so weird not only do they steal the scene from uncharted 3 the plane scene without any real buildup and it feels faker than the game they also dress Nate up with his uncharted 3 look not the main look in the desert the one where he gets captured and finds a holster on the ship after talbot knocks him out I’m mad cause they didn’t give him his uncharted 1 look the beige shirt and light brown holster and blue jeans I wish we had a chronological Uncharted movie we start with golden abyss then work our way up to uncharted 1 it’s such a aggressively mid movie the action scenes fall flat and Tom Holland is acting like Spider-Man more than Nathan Drake he and sully feel so bland and non witty I hate how they changed how they met and Chloe is so boring and generic instead of the lovable Smart Ass it fails as an adaptation of uncharted it also steals the set piece of the ship from uncharted 4 without pulling it off nearly as well following it up with a dumb crazy action finale I’ve had my fair share of suspension of disbelief in the uncharted series but the movie really made me face palm 🤦♂️ but I love uncharted as a series but I don’t care for the movie also I feel like the last of us is a great adaptation of the source material so far ❤ and the cameo of Nolan north was at least a redeemable feature of that movie but those credit scenes of Nate wearing his Baseball shirt from the beta version of uncharted and Sully finally having a mustache and weairing the flashback shirt I felt nothing 😐 it’s just not them honestly they don’t feel like cigar badass Victor Sullivan and Smartass Nathan Morgan Drake also the Sam and Nate thing was really undercooked and underwhelming in the movie I know it’s unrealistic in such a small time frame but that’s what I’m talking about this didn’t need to be a movie also why introduce Chloe First and Not Elena
Never hear someone else say "earballs" it's like finding dry land lmao
best sponsor video team up ive seen so far!
Arcane, Sonic the Hedgehog, Detective Pikachu, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Tron, The Last Of Us
Also Halo
1:02 i dont remember that scene from fresh prince
Damn! ScreenCrush got a Huckberry sponsor. My worlds are colliding
14:29 Ahem, Game of Thrones would not have happened if not for Rome, which is seriously under rated.
Another fantastic Breakdown. Excellent job team!
HOLD UP, HOLD UP, HOLD THE F UP. Was that really Neffex in the intro? Les gooo
There were many popular fantasy shows before GoT. Supernatural, Lost, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood, Charmed, Hercules, Xena Warrior Princess and the list goes on.
What are the best and worst video game adaptations?
Tekken bloodline Did it properly but also resident evil had a CGI adaptation that was well beloved.
Silent Hill was one of the better ones but anything directed by Uwe Boll would count as the worst.
Its probably that camp creeping through but I LOVE Mortal Kombat and will die on that hill. Annilation on the other hand, can perish in a dumpster fire 😆😆.
i love detective pikachu and the new mortal kombat
sonic 1 and 2 are awesome too
who would of thought that a show would turn out good when it sticks to the source material, and has passionate actors, and directors that dont actively bash and shit on the thing they're working on.
Well it helps that TLOU game basically operates as the pre-viz for how the show would film and write scenes. The game is one that is made for adaptation because it’s a narrative kind of game that works for the tv and film medium.
a god of war lone wolf a cub show that flips the genre on its head would be cool
the next big game that deserves an adaptation is Jack Blacks BRUTAL LEGEND! can you imagine if that video game got the HBO treatment. so much could be done from puppetry, animatronics, and CGI to make it perfect.
Story: Rock star Roadie travels to another time dimension where heavy metal reigns and a guitar can blow stuff up along w a magic axe can cause brutal DECAPITATIOOOOOON!!!
Watch Velma and come back to me about "consistent quality shows" on HBO :D
this guy really needs to give his manager more screen time
Kinda hard to call it a vg adaptation that broke the curse because TLoU is pretty much a cinematic game and the HBO version is literally just a live-action version of almost exactly the same scenes from the game.
Anyone else want a loop of the bitch slap segment I couldn't stop laughing and was too distracted
I’m hoping Gunn will create an Arkham series with Batfleck. I’ll even like to see Leto’s Joker from the Snydercut be in it
Lol Ryan bought a Flint & Tinder jacket. Nice. Welcome to the glory of waxed canvas.
So true this show really did break the curse. Hopefully, this show will pave the way for how to adapt a game appropriately to another medium. The good thing about this show is that it really does have a great story and making the adaptation of this game gave us so much time with characters we just couldn't in the game because you constantly fighting the infected and always looking around for things you need to survive.
I will defend Doom till my dying day. That movie rules. But yes, the last of us is by far the best adaptation we have ever gotten, and shows a bright future for video game adaptation. Please bring on the golden age of video game adaptations. I have a laundry list of adaptations I would love to see Done well.
I'm pretty sure Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego was perfect.
Knights of the Old Republic needs an adaptation.
Yes, this show IS amazing. I game but my girl doesn't and she loves it. However, I fkn loved the new MK movie. So I say it's already broken.
Mass Effect!!!!!!!! I'd love to see a series on it. I know It would kinda difficult due to the character creation and male/fem sheps. But if we could come together as a fan base. I know it would be awesome!
Just do a femshep and Garrus. I think it's the strongest relationship noting that humans and Turians were at war. The Normandy is also a joint venture ship of both technologies.
Twin!Sheps!!!
Sonic 1 and 2 were pretty good even with the separation from the source material. Pokémon was close but they should have had more battles... Assassin's Creed was so upsetting...
God I hate Ubisoft I’m glad they are crashing and burning
Sonic was surprisingly fire.
I love sonic ❤
When the manger Doug takes a trip to the “Farm” can the next manager be a corgie
Oh yeah. The problem was hollywood believed they needed to take the game and write their OWN story set in its universe to be enjoyable...but that is literally the opposite of what to do. The greatest success stories for any adaptive work has been when the show/film's adaptation was AS FAITHFUL AS POSSIBLE to the source material and only added/removed things out of necessity or worthwhile expansion. Bill and Frank were rather minor characters in the game, but by expanding their lives into a story arc of its own, a love story in the middle of an apocalypse, it IMPROVED the series 10-fold. Harry Potter, whilst contains a LOT of differences between book and film had things cut mostly due to time constraints of film-runtime requirements. Lord of the Rings, likewise. Both mediums stayed as faithful as feasibly possible to their source materials and so they both SHOWED what could be accomplished with adapted media. Last of Us is a newer/more recent, and perfect example of how to do adaptation well. So I hope the show-writers of wheel of time take notice and realize that for them to make a good...successful show, they'll have to stick to the source matieral.......better.....then they did in season 1.
Dragon Ball Z Evolution is up there with Super Mario Brothers lol
love the joel esk jacket lol
Arcane broke the curse long ago!!!!
Hell yeah... and I repeat... hell yeah... the curse is broken.... perfect title.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners is the best video game adaptation ever made. TLOU is getting there.
Now we just need bioshock
Dead Space also should get an adaptation
4:51 it’s been widely reported that Mark Wahlberg was going to play Drake but then eventually he was relegated to playing Sully. This is why Sully is a much younger character in the movie.
Please, a adaptation of Metal Gear Solid Story
But what about Kojima? Without him metal gear doesn’t have life
I think the REAL test for The Last of Us will be when they get to the 2nd game’s content. With out any spoilers, there were/are quite a bit of concerns with the story as far as gamers go.
I feel like Ryan is not respecting Castelvania. It's litterally one the best adapted media period
I've never played the game, but I did enjoy Werewolves Within. I imagine it's like the movie Clue, taking the game as a springboard. What of the movies that consciously or not seem inspired by videogrames? The Girl With All The Gifts was definitely inspired by The Last Of Us. I would even say Overlord was inspired by the Castle Wolfenstein games, with the WWII zombie super-soldiers and mysterious experiments. The movie is entirely set up as a timed mission to accomplish. And a lot of the "one-takes " in Children Of Men seem videogame inspired.
I wouldn't say TLOU was the first broke the video game movie curse (that goes to sonic 2) but I would say it's one of the first LIVE-ACTION SHOW to break the curse
Either way it's a start
I never thought an on screen adaptation of Red Dead Redemption would work until episode 3 of The Last of Us. After seeing the quality of that episode, I now believe it is possible to bring Red Dead to life.
Great video Ryan!
he forgot about detective pikachu , sonic 1 and 2 and the mario movie bruh
Ohhh shh Ryan done got a clothes sponsorship! Next it'll be liquor and watch commercials!
If Mass Effect is adapted, I think they would need to rework that ending. Go back to that rumored original ending that Bioware intended.
I loved Assassins Creed w/ Michael Fassbender. The soundtrack was amazing.
What scares me is that it is so good that all the studios will say: "Let's get on this train (while it lasts)" and either -
1: Just copy "The Last of Us" or similar good adaptation formulae and making a decent if lesser show
OR
2: "Let's buy some popular IP and make a cheap show for a quick buck while this bandwagon is hot."
You know... Like they used to? 😉I don't have to remind anyone about the many awful comic-book adaptations right before Marvel cleaned the slate with the first Iron-Man? Of course we also have the reverse bad movie to game tie ins? Again, I am just afraid that the studios will all be short-sighted and just see dollar signs and miss the point that it is easier in the long run to make good stuff to keep their popularity in the positive and also be known for quality. Unlike game publishers like EA or Activision-Blizzard. You know. 😛
Anyway, I have hope. Let's just pray that the studios know what they have and treat it with respect.
God please don’t mess up that Dead Space Movie I know Snake ass EA might ruin it but at least the multi media has portrayed dead space really well except the mainline Dead Space 3 but at least the remake of 1 was great and I’m hoping that they can adapt the franchise well ❤
@@WSendam Of course I am hopeful. i just sort of stated the worst case scenario. Hopefully I did not just make it happen eh? 😉
I think the Warcraft setting would make for an excellent show. There's no way you could cram all of the original Trilogy into just 3 movies. And HBO seems more willing to stick to the original material than what many movie studios are willing to do.
I think it’s ridiculous that nobody has made a legend of Zelda live action film or series. It’s a simple story that could be built around the action and puzzle solving aspects of the game. And epic tale of a dude fight through castles and traps, to get muguffins and gear and save princesses ❤️.
There was a cartoon.
It was terrible.
I feel like that would be a difficult one. There is so much material, with so many fans of all ages. Their would be no room for error.
Detective Pikachu and Need for Speed were a thing before The Last of Us was an idea on HBO's have mind
I don't care what they say, the original 90s Super Mario Brothers movie was a fun adventure! I still love it as an adult! It's like if you took Mario world characters and placed them inside the Blade Runner universe!
I am so impressed with the last us adaptation BUT the story from the game is also waaaay better then most games so it is easier to adapt but ofc stil very impressive
The final season of Dexter, "Dexter: New Blood" was also great. To me, it showed that while the season 8 finale was a bad series finale, it worked fine as a season finale leading into the actual final season.
Also, season 5 with Lumen Pierce was pretty great!
Huckleberry is also the working title of The Mandalorian.
I hope that the God of War Tv show stays true to the source material and mirrors what the Last of Us is doing.
ZEUS YOUR SON HAS RETURNED I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF OLYMPUS
It will break one curse, but we will be flooded with imitators. Another curse.
We all really hope that Hollywood takes the medium serious and finally breaks the curse for good. Hope they are able to take the blueprint from TLOU. Great future ahead for video games.
I LOVE Nolan’s Batman but I say 89 Batman did that. Then more of that movie universe fell through & WB started from scratch making it more campy. And Tobey in Spider-Man 3, thats what a nerdy guy would think was cool so it was meant to be cringey.
How convenient since TLOU was already a film-like interactive film game, it's story driven so it's linear and gameplay-wise so it's more cutscenes which has actors playing under mocaps...
