Future video game adaptations could stand to take these notes from HBO's TheLastofUs.
The first season of The Last of Us on HBO is going down as one of the best video game adaptations of all time, even if it’s not perfect. Whether you believe the lousy reputation video game adaptations have is justified or not, these first few episodes of the series serve as the premier examples of how to adapt a game properly. As such, it’s worthwhile to break down what other video game adaptations can learn from The Last of Us.
HBO’s The Last of Us isn’t a direct 1:1 adaptation , but it’s still unmistakably a TV version of the video game’s story and even gameplay in some segments. That faithfulness shows respect for the game and is more likely to get fans on board with the creation and any potential deviations it might make. Sadly, many video game adaptations seem like they feel embarrassed of the source material, which shows in the quality of the final product and the fan reception to it.
Find the right actors At a basic level, people need to be able to get on board with the casting of an adaptation. That’s a big hurdle that kneecapped a film like Uncharted, as fans had a lot of trouble buying Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Sully. It’s also hurt past video game adaptations, like the Prince of Persia film, where Jake Gyllenhaal portrayed its titular Persian hero.
