The Last of Us HBO trailer (Gaming)
I think that's the thing though. I have zero interest in revisiting Joel and Ellie's journey.
This right here is why I think straight adaptations have a giant, often insurmountable hurdle to overcome. if you've seen, heard, and played their journey already, why would you want to go back and only see and hear it?
Because it's not made for the people who have already played it-- it's made for those who never would, and thus would otherwise never experience it.
Video game adaptations are at a super interesting point right now. Remember the disaster that was Cyberpunk 2077? Not even major patches revived the playerbase. Last month, the game peaked at under 19,000 players on Steam. A very well-received Cyberpunk anime just released. The game's concurrent playerbase in the past 48 hours? Just shy of 137,000.
I think the key term there is "well-received", 'cause look at the Halo show:
I’ve been seeing a lot of Halo fans upset recently because of cyberpunk edgerunners and frankly I can’t blame them tbh pic.twitter.com/ILHyaecT5J
