Hope they do the weed burning Skrillex mission
Been a staple of my playlist for damn near a decade
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.
Cyberpunk already has a TV series, which is pretty great and is getting a second season.
Cyberpunk already does with their Edgerunners anime on Netflix
it was really good and getting a second season too
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...
Except for that one time he was right.
A Portal movie with more then two characters would just be Cube.
Why?
Why do you have your testicular torsion over video games getting adaptations?
I can sorta get it. It could be good, but probably nevertheless creatively bankrupt. Not as many original productions are made these days in television, movies, gaming, etc. You get mostly sequels and adaptations that just regurgitate the same ideas in different formats and styles.
A faithfully adapted Far Cry TV series would be fine, but I don't think it could be "great" TV unless they try to do something wholly original with it that gets to the heart of what Far Cry is as a series, just because of inherent differences in the medium.
I keep praying to Zeus for a red dead show... it's perfect for tv i wish they'd do it
Which far cry though, isn’t every game different?
It's supposed to be an anthology series so they'll probably do one game a season
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.
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.
fucking malaria all the time
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
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?
That’s a bingo!
Sure. But no.
It is an FPS. Here is a setting, here is some gear N shit, now go fight!
