Be honest brehs, did you think The Last of Us would be such a big hit?

[Bboystyle]

I mean, did you play the game? Lol

Yes i did. But im speaking on The casual viewers who never played. Or do u really think all 5million+ viewers played the damn game? Lol

Even so, playing in this environment vs watching it is totally different

I think 5 million people are in for a treat once the story goes where we all know it’s going

Both games so far have sold over 37 million copies.

Last of Us is thee cinematic game. It's extremely popular plus the casting, creators, and network gave it cred.

I don't think there is any other game that can translate like this.

 

[Software]

I did not. I actually never played it because I thought it was just gonna be another zombie game.

Uncharted would make a grea.. Nevermind

It could if they actually had playstation productions work on it like they did with this. Uncharted was like the pre-mcu marvel movies

 

[Phantum]

I had a good idea. My wife loved watching me play both games. She liked it so much she got mad if I played without her.

Remember at the time we had hella zombie games and that zombie genre was oversaturated. Resident Evil 5, dead island, left 4 dead
Then we had shows like the walking dead, z nation etc.

Breh I had zombie fatigue. So I didn't even give it a shot. I was still engrossed in Skyrim too

 

[Canon]

I wonder if people that haven't play the game are going to react the same way that incel type gamers did when
Joe got tiger wood'ed.

After GOT I don’t think HBO’s audience will take it to badly

 

[DaddyFresh]

I did….has a solid fan base, which hyped up the show for non fans. Also it’s on HBO and has a big production.

It also has an amazing linear story and the director created one the best television series in history. Anyone who thought it would flop was remedial

I’m just being a a$$hole uncharted wasn’t bad… mid : if they took it seriously as last of us it couldve been classic

them staying reletively true to the source material, really made it no surprise to me that this was a success. studios unestimate the power social media fandom has to ruin momentum for new franchises.

often these studios will try to capitalize off a gaming ip while alienating the fans of the ip at the same time, which leads to poor word of mouth and negative marketing and eventually to a flop. No worse idea imo to try to start a new franchise with built in haters. never works.
instead they took the proper approach and as a result had a built in fanbase.

Reminds me of what they did to Agent 47 and Max Payne

Straight up turds

Last of Us made it to SNL
