Why Make a New Game When a TV Show Will Sell Your Old Games? - Next-Gen Console Watch

- Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch. This week Daemon is joined by Ryan McCaffrey of the Unlocked podcast, and Max Scoville from Beyond. The topic: are video game publishers better off making adaptations of their games, rather than making new games? Fallout and The Last of Us are two examples of a TV adaptation of a video game done right, and Sony is leaning hard into their IP for more TV series. Is it more financially viable for an IP holder to license their properties for a prestige TV show, over making a new entry in the video game franchise? And would fans prefer that, as long as the shows are good?

Halo deserves better
I’m glad games figured it out. Tv Series are WAYYYYY BETTER than movies for video games. Tv series allow it to be more detailed and tell more of the story the movies never did games true justice.
Much rather have the new video game, thanks.
TV Show is an expensive gamble as well, main positive for the devs is that someone else takes up the bulk of the heavy lifting....
They saw what wonders it did for Cyberpunk & Witcher.
Halo really shot itself in the foot with it being an AU story. Imagine if we got something about some insurgents on a planet in the outer colonies just at the start of the covenant war. Where at the start, they're fighting the UNSC for their independence. And here comes a covenant ship that starts glassing the place and it becomes a fight for survival to escape off world. Evading the Kig-Yar scouts, taking out some Ungoyy, an extremely close encounter with some Sangheili that leads to tragic deaths. Maybe even a run in with some UNSC marine or Spartan that has them on edge at first but work together to overcome the alien threat. A whole original story that could canonically take place within the universe of the games, books and comics.
Sorry Ryan, but the halo tv show is not fine.
Don’t forget that there was also the Twisted Metal show on Peacock
Yeah, instead of making new and interesting games... Great times....
Halo tv show was 🗑️. Halo deserves better and could be way better it has so much lore and so much potential in the cinematic universe
Ahh yore, those were the days. It’s also probably frustrating for writers who have unique stories they’d love to get in front of people’s eyes when they’re up against shows based on game properties let alone recycled known IPs
Yall forgot to mention "Fort Solis" there making a show out of that game as well!
That's a silly title. Won't stop them from. Making a new fallout games
The same holds true in Japan when they make anime about a manga, novel, or game.
Because eventually there will be a limit of how many customers you can sell too until you are forced to make another product.
The opening title card music is way louder than the rest of the video. Can someone at IGN fix that?
But they keep updating their 20 years old games with useless patches with the only purpose of breaking as much modlists as possible.
Very few games actually work as movies.
These guys look like 3 versions of the same person
Fallout 4 new update was getting played with or without the show just sayin.
