The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann said in an interview with The New Yorker that he believes the HBO show “will be the best, most authentic game adaptation” yet, ultimately adding “Hopefully, this will put that video-game curse to bed."
lmao i think as movies exist, we'll get shit ones in every genre, but to act as though there haven't been hits is... silly. and makes me wrinkle my nose
I feel like this is purely ego. He's going to make the first good video-game adaptation, and fuck all the people who liked any of the ones that came before.
The video game industry has like... a complex involving respectability. Even though like... Video Games make more money that the movies and tv and is bigger. It's weird.
I just don't think that anyone who doesn't understand that games and movies are very different mediums is going to do a good job adapting the first into the second
There seem to be a lot of people in the video game industry who just... really wanted to make movies but wound up making games instead for some reason.
