Looks like this is gonna be a good one. Good cast, good source material, HBO funding. Got it downloaded in 4k HDR ready to watch tonight.

Main lead roles are the bloke who played the mandalorian / starred in narcos / Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones and the girl who played Lyanna Mornont in game of thrones and Angelica in his dark materials

I wonder how far, if at all, they stray from the source material?

Love both games, and I'm tempted to get the new remaster to play alongside the series.

Looking forward to watching it tonight.
 
I wonder if it will have the same ending as the original game? I'm no gamer yet played it through and thought 'did that just happen?' 😂
 
Absolutely loved the first game when I played it at uni, made me wish I had a PlayStation.

Up there as one of the best story games out there.

Looking forward to the TV show.
 
I really enjoyed the second game but it caught a lot of hate because of the lgbt angles and character impacts that people didn't like

Anyone who played the first game and DLC though wouldnt be surprised at the lgbt stuff

The story is a bit shock and awe too, if you play it again then a 3rd time I think you can appreciate the masterpiece it really is
 
Loved both games. Recently played the remaster and going to play the second again once I get through God of War Ragnarok.

Just watching the first episode now (on pause atm as the baby has just woken up). Completely hooked. Staying pretty true to the game so far.

The end part of the opening scenes still brings a small tear to the eye.

If it can match the game it’ll be one of the all time great series!
 
I'm not quite gamer so have no idea what the game is; however, from the write up it sounds almost like another The Walking Dead which I loved.

Am I a million miles away or is it going to be something similarish?

It will be so much better than the walking dead, the games are some of the best story telling.

It's similar in terms of its set after something has ravaged the planet but it's different to zombies, it's a fungal infection which changes people.

The infected aren't the slow shuffling "never really in danger unless you get backed into a corner" type and it's a much smaller "main cast" bass rather than the big survivor group that walking dead always focuses on.

Last of us I presume will be bigger budget than AMC gave walking dead. Initially walking dead was high budget in the first season, they were then told they had to reduce the amount of zombies and that's why seasons always had a very slow start and middle and then everything would hit the fan end of season.

A quick google says walking dead was $3.5m per episode season 1 which amc then reduced to $2.75m per episode for season 2. Reports suggest last of us budget is $10-15m per episode which means season one cost more than each of the first 5 seasons of game of thrones.

If anyone likes Chernobyl, it's the same writer that did that who has worked with Druckmann, who led the development of the games.
