Nucky Thompson Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Really, really looking forward to this. 9 episodes based on the 1st video game (arguably the best video game of all time) It looks like they are going to cover the events of the original game Pedro Pascal plays Joel and Bella Ramsey plays Ellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack D and coke Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Imagine it’ll be pretty gruesome if like the games. TLOU2 especially is pretty visceral and violent. Both games deal with lots of issues too including a trans character in the 2nd one. It got stick for being too woke. Must have a bit of Walking Dead vibe I’d imagine. Hopefully as good as when that was the best thing on tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Reynolds Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I don't think I have ever or will ever have such high expectations for a show. I have faith that HBO will do this justice and it'll be one of, if not the finest thing to grace TV, ever. The story is incredible and I am like a kid before Christmas waiting on it coming out.

From the trailer it looks like a shot for shot remake of the game and expansion which is all I want. Good to see they gave Troy Baker a cameo too. I assume Ashley Johnson will have one as well.

Nucky Thompson Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 There's loads of great games out there, so it's maybe a stretch describing it as the best of all time, but I haven't played a game with a better script or storytelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Almost a shot by shot recreation of the first few hours of the first game.

Spoiler There are shots of the hospital in the trailer so I don't think there will be any dragging out in terms of the overall plot. There are going to be other feature length episodes as well that I think they'll flesh out a bit more than the game and they're also covering the Left Behind DLC as Riley is in the trailer as well.
