    Please, no one tell Hollywood about No Man’s Sky, Dwarf Fortess, Portal or Subnautica.

    I assume there is a 99% chance of a Cyberpunk 2077 and/or Red Dead Redemption movie/series in the next 5 years.

    MMOs are probably safe after the Warcraft movie. Thanks for taking that one, WoW players.

          Good and soul crushing.

          The only thing I watched that was that well made and emotionally damaging was the bicycle thief.

        The whole western is also overdone now too. It wouldn’t stand out if they made one based on the story. The story isn’t that unique either.

      I dunno, Far Cry actually feels like a reasonable fit for a show anyway compared to most games.

      Theyre not really open to impactful decisions beyond the endings (which end up feeling samey), and most of the appeal comes from the exploration anyway.

      An anthology about people being dumped into horrible survival situations writes itself anyway. So long as the creative director isn’t a nut job portraying the religious cult leader as being in the right…

      Why?

      Why do you have your testicular torsion over video games getting adaptations?

      It seems so unnecessary since he already had so much name recognition.

      Yeah, we already got a Far Cry movie by Uwe Boll what could a series possibly do better?

      They’re all the same general concept… just different characters. Guy ends up somewhere, reluctantly becomes a hero and saves the area from the bad guys by killing everything that moves.

      I enjoyed the first couple games as the mechanics evolved, but after awhile they started feeling kinda stale. (at least in my opinion.)

      First was the best. Downhill from there. Just my opinion, really. The follow ups just used the name and not the premise.

        Idk, the one with the cult was pretty solid. A bit on the nose, but I can’t imagine them being able to release that plot on a tv show currently

        The exception being Blood Dragon, far and away the best one

          I stopped after the second one. The only thing I liked about it was the stealth and lighting the grass on fire.

        Didn’t they even change genres? It’s been a long time since I thought about far cry but iirc the first one is a pretty neat linear sci fi shooter and the rest are mundane current world ubisoft map slop?

      It’s supposed to be an anthology series so they’ll probably do one game a season
