Broncofan Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 For those who live under a rock videogame-wise - the absolute best storyline IMO. Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Anna Torv as Tess, Gabriel Luna as Tommy. And a cameo from the original Joel/Ellie with Troy Baker/Ashley Johnson to boot! Would have loved to have Tess' with Annie Wershing too, but can't have it all. It's a total teaser, but fans who've played the game, well they know the potential here. Super excited, hopeful and worried (don't screw this up HBO). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I’m all in on this. I figure Joel’s daughter’s scene won’t hit as hard as it did in the game, but I personally think (good) story games are more emotionally compelling because you’re personally invested and feel your character is a part of you. It’s generally a challenge to introduce a character and give them enough depth in a short time for you to care about their immediate wellbeing.

As a flashback. Like right after that scene in the trailer. Just because it’s an adaptation off the best video game story ever IMO doesn’t mean they have to follow the playbook. For the exact reason you cited the sequencing may be entirely different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 This is the way I think video games should be adapted. The lost opportunity for uncharted shan't be forgotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingseanjohn Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Looks great. I liked that they didn’t show a ton. Hopefully there’s some deviation from the games to keep us all on our toes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Never really got into the game, but this looks like a solid adaptation. Still waiting for that Metal Gear Solid movie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
