Low Value Boy Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Looks promising, I actually quite like that they've changed somethings from the game. You'll get those usual source material nerds though who will obsess over every little thing that is slightly different. If you want the same story/experience then just play the game again.

Off the top of head, the only decent adaptations I’ve seen lately were Tomb Raider and Mortal Kombat, but both were pretty cheesy. That said, I think we are seeing a huge shift and TLOU is leading the charge. I’m excited to see what they do with Fallout and MGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah there is definitely a shift happening. It’s easier I guess with very plot driven games like TLOU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the first Sonic and it was pretty good, need to check out the sequel at some point. I also forgot Detective Pikachu, that was surprisingly great. Did you watch Halo? I got halfway through and just dropped it. Seemed pretty meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the ones that don’t necessarily take themselves too seriously end up being the better ones. Something like TLOU is different though since it’s a movie-game to begin with. Nah. Never had any interest. Couldn’t even force myself to play more than 5 hours of the newest game. Just no interest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked some part of The Witcher - but they strayed too far past the source material, that it got silly. TLOU seems to have put together a good team who have a history of making great content. I guess we've entered a new age where gaming is bigger than ever, and the film industry has almost run out of creative ideas - I'm hearing possible tv adaptions for God of War and Gran Turismo... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 haven't played the games as i've never owned any kind of playstation. don't know if i'll check this out but I'm happy to see the recent trend of video game adaptations that don't completely suck. another one I liked recently was Castlevania. Sonic and Detective Pikachu were pretty fun too. It's probably too much to hope we'll ever get a Resident Evil adaptation that isn't dogshit, but I'd love to see that. But they've tried and failed so many times already with that franchise lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s already a brief trailer out for the Gran Turismo movie and some of the cast has already been announced. I think the Mario movie is going to show studios how profitable video game adaptations can be (wouldn’t be surprised to see it in the top 3 grossing films this year) and we’ll see a flood of movies over the next few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heater Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 My family is pretty big into Pokémon & Mario. Detective Pikachu was a fast favorite & the hype around the Mario movie in my household is HUGE. 🤣🤣 cannot wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel Coight Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Great first episode. Casting is great. Been a while since I played Pt1 so I can’t remember if much was changed or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 I know it's maybe too early to tell but does it seem like a pretty faithful adaptation so far? maybe this will give studios the hint that people don't want them to stray so far from the source material in all these video game adaptations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roux Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Same of the sets look a bit carboardy, but apart from that, a great opening episode. Pretty much exactly how the game went story-wise and asthetic-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Should I watch this week by week or just wait until the season is over? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
