LOS ANGELES : 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. Simon Cardy from IGN called the series “a brilliant retelling of one of video games’ most beloved stories that rebottles the lightning of what made it so special to many in the first place, letting it strike again to stunning effect.”
Ramsey said she hoped"people can realize that video games can have a great story, such a great story that it can then be adapted into a TV show.”
