Yeah, that looks fantastic. Let’s hope it turns out well. The Halo show demonstrated the strengths of creating a new story disconnected from the source games, so let’s hope the Last of Us show can do as well with a direct translation.

I wonder too.

There's going to be 10 episodes, and the game has about 2 hours of cutscenes. That's 6-7 hours left to fill with stuff that happens in game while you have control. I don't see how it can be a straight adaptation without adding tons of stuff.

I'm optimistic. TLoU has good bones. No other game I've played developed character relationships so well, and that's a very strong foundation for story telling.
