With the good execution of TLOU, what shows do you think deserve the prestige TV series treatment

TYRONE GA!
Horizon done right would be gawdly.

Metal Gear definitely.

I don't have faith in the God Of War adaption without Barlog involved like Neil is with TLOU.

Street Fighter could work...if it was JUST focused on the ADVENTURES OF RYU.

Think of Kung Fu, or The Mandelorian.

Episode one starts with Ryu and Ken as kids being trained by Gouken, and Gouki being exiled for accepting Satsui No Hado. It jumps ahead to SF alpha aged Ken and Ryu trainkng with Dan by Gouken. Gouetsu and Gouki return, and they "kill" Gouken.

Ryu then starts the nomadic life, working to get stronger, looking for people to train with and under, and eventually hearing about the world warrior tournament. His only goal is to get strong enough to avenge Gouken. He eventually faces Sagat and scars him in a season finale, and sagat tells him that Gouki has entered the tournament.

Don't focus on any of the Shadowloo stuff other than if he's facing someone who works for Bison, you see logos and hear about it.

You're in the minority thinking the show is mid :yeshrug:

The show is about a 9/10 for me... and i have like 80+ hours in both TLOU1 (7-8 years ago) and TLOU2. Tho, like what someone else mentioned... the TLOU games themselves were already cinematic masterpieces woven into the game play.

It also translates to tv smoothly bc it's still real-world physics and landmarks; a semi-post apocalyptic version of modern America probably isn't cheap to replicate but you don't have to over-rely on CGI like you would with a Halo, Mass Effect, GoW, or Horizon Zero Dawn show.

honestly shocked no producer has tried to strong arm a call of duty series into existence yet

People don't play COD for the single player/story although and the stories are so over the top, it probably works better as a film

A Tom Cruise COD movie would probably run the box office for a couple months

these studios don't really care for much before of brand + market though. cod? the only reason its never taken off is because ventures probably still in a bidding war over it lol

Definitely Life is Strange season 1, and Gears

Detroit Become Human
Have the studio that made Until Dawn & The Quarry make their own American Horror Story type show (anthology).
Tales from the Borderlands (could be a live action)
Wolf Among Us
A proper Persona 4 & 5 Anime (maybe backed by Netflix or Amazon).
Max Payne series
Red Dead series
Death Stranding
GTA V
I would like to see The Getaway for the ps2 get a mini series or something
Final Fantasy VII

DJ Hero….Now hear me out :whoa: Think GQ from juice. Except that’s the main focus. Have it not just be about the music. Have it include bs that be happening in these peoples lives. In the hopes of not being just a local DJ anymore (like GQ in Juice). Competition is tough. Maybe make it a different main character/story every season. And of course the mixes that are created are from a large library of old, new, and even unreleased songs (many unreleased songs) from the most popular musicians in the world. Have the DJ’s really try to figure out each other’s strategy and what not. Show montages of them putting mixes together before matches. Again the DJ doesn’t have to even be the main focus of the show. But when it’s there. Have it be the most exciting part of the show because of the music selection, the mashups/mixes, and the unreleased material should be something people look forward to. Even after the show since they can probably release some of the tracks on streaming platforms.
