The 2013 video game “The Last of Us” was a hit with critics and players thanks to a powerful narrative. Ten years later, that story is headed to television on HBO in what the industry hopes is a harbinger for artfully adapting video games to TV and film.
The PlayStation game won numerous awards, including “Game of the Year” at the 17th Annual Design Innovate Communicate Entertain summit , which honors video game industry professionals."It shouldn’t be surprising that a drama based on a video game can have heart. A great, smart game depends on personal connection," New York Times critic James Poniewozik wrote.
During the Los Angeles premiere on Monday, Pascal explained the game's “impact on its audience was because of its storytelling," adding the way that TV shows can expand narratives made it a “sort of perfect marriage” for HBO and “The Last of Us.”
Oh God…if CTV is praising the show it must have gone woke like the LOTR series. Ughhhhhhh
Awesome. If you don't play games, you can see tons of YouTube vids of streamers playing it if you want to see what it's about.
Because these don't exist, right?.
