For me, the biggest issue with video game adaptations is that a majority of them are movies and not television series. People play video games for hours upon hours connecting with characters. Attempting to truncate that experience into a 90-120 minute film is a losing battle. Just like the game, you need the audience to live with the characters for a long journey. The Last of Us would have failed miserably as a movie. Uncharted would've succeeded as a series(with different casting of course).

Similar to how Walking Dead was better then Dawn of the Dead (or even Romero's works) because they had far far more time for character development. You care when those characters died where as the people you literally learned about 30 mins ago don't have nearly the same weight.

It can work for shorter games or ones where the story isn't the the important part (like Mario and Sonic). For narrative-focused games though, yeah, a movie is just not long enough to make you care about any of it.

Also the direction behind the Last of Us show is just masterful. They were able to make both subtle and major changes but still make the story feel complete and properly adapted. Like, the whole Bill episode could've literally been a standalone movie about 2 guys trying to find trust and love in a post apocalyptic world and it would've worked.

Actually my favourite episode. Since it was standalone and very lengthy, it felt like a film and the pacing was just right. The whole of the season though, not so much. Was quite good at the start, and the individual episodes work quite well, but the pacing throughout felt kinda off. The ending also didn't do it for me. A bit anticlimactic.

The thing that gets me is Uncharted CAN be adapted! The fan film starring Nathan Fillion is AMAZING. And its because you can tell that everyone involved loves the games and wants to bring them to life. It references things like the transition from cutscene to gameplay in its framing. Nathan Fillion acts like Nate. He LOOKS like Nate, if maybe a bit old for the part. But no one really got paid for that project. They made it because they wanted to. The Uncharted movie was made for money, not love or art.

That fan film captured Nathan Drake as a character, but I think the Uncharted movie captured the silly, B-movie, early 2000s action adventure dumb fun (with it's own set of problems to match). Yeah it was made for money no doubt, that many change in hands between rando hollywood white doods tells us that much, but that doesn't mean the result is inherently purely shit. My point really is both were adapted, none were entirely shot for shot and they just had different goals that they achieved to varying levels. I think TLoU show was done really well and still *incredibly* and dangerously flawed, but I think a lot of the comparisons going on here are not really comparing the same things very fairly.

It was depressing how uncinematic the film was compared to the games. My favourite parts of the series are when you enter a new area and have these overwhelming landscape vistas revealed. There were no moments in the movie that inspired awe, mostly due to the fact that they only go to two different locations and there’s barely any ancient ruins (except for a small room hidden under a bar and a cave with two massive pirate ships). Also insane that there’s maybe two whole action sequences in the entire 2-hour run time!

That's not really a fair comparison at all. The Last of Us movie and the TV show are completely separate projects.

They scrapped the movie a long time ago and then Craig decided he wanted to make the show with Neil. The released product of the TV show didn't go through any development issues.

I think any adaptation of a game or a book or whatever HAS to be a tv show. Because they're almost always longer than what you can fit in a movie, so it will always lost most of what makes the game/book so great if you try to fit the story into 2 hours. But with a tv show, especially if the studio is able to give you so many resources like HBO with the last of us, then they can make the story exactly as it is.

I agree with you somewhat, you CAN make a good movie adaption, but the problem lies in WHAT about it is getting adapted. Like, how to train your dragon is a book adaption, but it looks almost NOTHING like the book; but it WORKS because they kept the core theme of the book of the unconventional hero. The harry potter movies work really well because they're so loyal to the source material when it came to how the sets and characters looked. There ARE decent movie adaptions...it just feels like too many adaptions try to combine the first few books/episodes/games into one story and it all falls apart bc that's too much.

I think the overall biggest issue is that writers are trying to sum up entire series in a 2 hour hodgepodge story. Filling in lots of visual highlights of the series at the cost of any meaning. The greatest video game adaptations have either been taking much smaller samples of the source material and writing around that (like Last of Us) or creating their own story that captures the essence of the game (like Cyberpunk Edgerunners and the Mario movie). Hollywood has seemed to think that people who love the games just want to see their favorite scenes in live action, but they’re finally starting to learn that characters are the most important thing to get right.

I loved the games and have been playing the first game regularly for the past ten years, and I love every episode of the show. The show is great because of the appreciation it has for the games and because of the little changes that add to the story better than the game did. Episode three is phenomenal, they took my favorite part of the game and changed it from teaching Joel how to use a shotgun to being able to play a significant part in the story by showing the audience that in this violent world, the only thing that matters most anymore is the loving relationships we have.

As a gay transgender man, having a non-stereotypical gay couple have a story that is still tragic, because the setting is tragic, but the tragedy isn't the focus, two people meeting and falling in love and making the best out of their tragic setting that ends with them choosing how their story ends was just so absolutely fantastic. Also, the fact that we never see their bodies, and their friends respect the note (literally burying the "bury your gays" trope by NOT BURYING THEM) and then finishing on that window shot that is reminiscent of the menu screen from the first game, the absolute perfect casting of both characters... it all comes together to make one of the greatest episodes of television ever made. The little giggle Nick Offerman does when he eats the strawberry is also one of the most adorable things I've ever seen in my entire life.

Two other things that I believe helped shape The Last of Us into a great show are that 1: The Last of Us was the latest series for Naughty Dog, so it was given more attention and 2: The Last of Us was Drunkman's baby since he basically created it, so he wanted to be there for everything Last of Us related and make sure everything came out right. He wasn't there for Uncharted until the 4th game, so I'm sure he didn't care as much for the series once the game was done.

I think the biggest reason is that TLOU has a laser focus on what story it want's to tell, the story, tone and characters are all in synch which make sit easy to adapt. uncharted is a big mix, there are serious interpersonal problems in 4 and serious discussion about identity on 3 but also the violence wildly goes from campy and whimsical to being shot in the gut and fending off a kill squad in a very tense scene; add Nate doing hand puppets on a Moroccan prison and you have a blend that is very difficult to translate. Not impossible because we have the OG Indy movies but that is even worse because the inevitable comparison is there...... all that said, yes the biggest screw up is not getting Bruce Campbell to do Sully.

As much as I like Tom Holland in the Spider-Man movies, he's kinda trapped with his baby face - It's not only going to be hard to see him as anyone other then Spider-Man, but also as someone older then 20. Mark Wahlberg simply isn't a good choice for movies outside of his normal wheelhouse, let alone in a role that requires gravitas.

I remember a story I read somewher about the last years of LucasArts gaming division, and how they'd spent years prototyping the newest Indiana Jones game in a WHILE, and thought they had something really good, and were really excited to finish and put into people's hands. Then Uncharted burst onto the scene, and they were all just "Oh. Oh, that's so GOOD. Augh, god damn it, that's better than OURS! FUCK! THEY BEAT US! AT OUR OWN GAME!" And so that Indy project never saw the light of day, cause a totally different studio came along and filled the void left by years of no Tomb Raider and no Indy better than either series had before. Or at least more successfully. And GOD. DAMN. I had forgotten how utterly FUCKED the Percy Jackson movies were. I recall reading shortly after they announced the Disney series, that the crew behind the movies sent Riordan the scripts, and he wrote back BEGGING to help punch them up, fix the OBVIOUS problems, they wouldn't even have to PAY HIM. Just don't put HIS material out there IN THIS STATE. And they said no. I went, an eager nostalgic high schooler who read all the books over the course of middle school, to see the Lightning Thief in theaters. I left so disappointed that I didn't even bother watching the trailer for Sea of Monsters.

although i’ve only watched a let’s play for uncharted 4 (and immediately fell in love with it), i was so excited for the movie, and then early on in the production, i find out one of my most favorite actors is playing a young nathan drake. i swear it was a perfect match. here i was thinking that maybe a quarter of the film was going to be nathan’s past meaning the adult nathan drake is still to be casted… and then years went by… and then that photo of tom clearly dressed as adult nathan drake came out. i’ll admit, i thought it was pretty sick, but i was also worried… and then the movie came out.. although i still had fun watching it, it wasn’t the adaptation i was looking for of the game i fell in love with a few years back. but honestly, i feel like tom holland could’ve pulled off nathan if they actually put love and care into the movie. it’s not even an adaptation at this point, it’s just a completely different movie that so happens to have the same name as a game.

There was an Uncharted fan film with Nathan Fillion (of Firefly fame and Nathan Drake's primary inspiration) and besides more faithfully adapting Uncharted's cast, it also faithfully captured the energy of the games' blockbuster action sequences and shootouts with a low budget. One of the reasons for the fan film's success, in my opinion, is its cinematography--the camera tracks Nate in a single shot during an extended action sequence to make the viewer feel like they're *with* Nate, like a player viewing Nate in the game. The Tom Holland film rarely, if ever, does this, instead doing very bog-standard action shots you'd see in any blockbuster with hard cuts and shaky cam. While filming sequences in one shot is logistically very difficult, doing so would have gone above and beyond to making the Hollywood adaptation of Uncharted a far more enjoyable film (alongside recasting Nate and Sully).
