Dude it’s amazing

They showing how gay bill is

My thought exactly. I’m sure the show will be fine, but they’re acting like it’s gonna some breakthrough moment when the video game is already modeled like a movie

So was Uncharted & it still was the most braindead generic action movie possible.

If this is respectfully adapted & well-written, it will definitely be the game-changer people are saying it can be.

The only thing i’m hoping for is tension

Nah let’s be honest, Neil is doing this on purpose but is he not aware nobody wants the conversation of this to now be about woke politics from right wingers instead of the actual show overall

I love all of the casting choices except when it comes to the most important character

Watch it ASAP

did people really care that much about bill and frank

At launch was a big talking point about how he is gay and how well written he was as a gay character

Do you think with Uncharted they made any sort of effort? Uncharted is comparable to Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider and more. They just threw star power at it and were soul less. No part of that was "curse". They threw multiple games into one movie. They made the main character young. They just entirely didn't give a f***

They don't get it.

Last of Us being a successful tv show isn't breaking a curse or the lack of effort we will likely see in Fallout, Gears of War, God of War and more

You’re saying what I’m saying in my post.

Last Of Us can break that “curse” by showing executives that effort goes a long way with videogame adaptations, not unlike book adaptations.

In a way yes. There is a difference in scope though. That is why I say movie game. Not as an insult but a game that is already hugely like a movie or tv show isn't cursed. They know its not cursed. Sony knows they could have put effort into an uncharted movie or tv show. They don't care. They want the money and know the fans will show up regardless or throw a demo or dumb s*** with it. Uncharted made 401 million. Tomb Raider 274 million. The list goes on. Sonic made 300 million. Detective Pikachu in the 400 millions.

Like there is no curse in "not investing in writing" that is a choice that is all I am saying. Book movies with great writing or adaptation fail too for one reason or another.

Effort can go a long way but it depends on if a fanbase cares about effort or if they just want to see characters on the screen. If they want something that reaches out to more people and makes them want to play a game ( so it goes both ways which you could say all the movies above didn't really make someone want to play a game). However if you are talking about success from live action or tv show to game it would go to Witcher and Cyberpunk

If you are talking live action awards then I get you but Cyberpunk show lead to people playing the game . Arcane won consistent awards too

But you said god of war is a movie game?? How is that different? Gears of war movie game.

lots of my family who hasn’t played these are hyped

really interested in how this is received

those a bigger in scope movies and budgets needed due to creature design and cgi. Last of Us benefits from focus on humanity ( which is good). Gears of war the budget would be crazy. God of War budget would also be crazy. If anything is the "curse" for anime or gaming its the amount of risk from amount of cgi, tech and budget you need for it not to look goofy. Gaming stories have been respectable enough to be movies for like 2 decades a lil under

Nah this one actually has good actors in it unlike one dimensional iron boy and mark walberg 💩

this is what I am truly interested to see. Gamers going to bicker over little details either way

There you have it folks, over 100 actresses auditioned for Ellie and Bella was the one who best captured the essence of Ellie's character

I've been saying this would be the case
