VG247’s The Best Games Ever Podcast – Episode 35: The Best Game That Shouldn’t Be Made A TV Show
Welcome to VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast: Episode 35 – The Best Game That Shouldn’t Be Made into a TV Show.
The Last of Us has finally hit the television screens. Well, it was always on television screens. uh. Let me rephrase it.
Television finally has a prestigious drama about zombies.
What? Oh yeah. Fine. OKAY.
TV addicts finally have a zombie show that’s been running for about a decade on another medium, if they want to skip,
Actually? Hmm. Ah. Hmm. Well, fine, let’s at least make sure the TV people aren’t trying to adapt something stupid:
Here’s a photo of Chris Bratt disapproving of a couple watching The Last of Us on HBO Max or Now TV when they’re in the UK. (Support friends from VG247, People Make Games, op cartridge).
Cast: Tom Orry, James Billcliffe, Kelsey Raynor and Jim Trinca.
Our picks this week (SPOILERS AHEAD):
Tom – The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Tamriel’s lore might be a good starting point for a fantasy TV show, but Tom thinks it would be rubbish.
James – Journey
The whole point of Journey is to make a deeply human connection with whoever controls the other on-screen avatar, but without exchanging words. A brilliant game, but it would be hard to watch.
Kelsey Fortnite
Already a gaudy mess of clashing pop culture licenses and dance memes, a TV version would be simply insufferable.
“What’s VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast?” you ask? Well, it’s essentially a 30 minute panel show where people (Jim Trinca and collaborators) decide on the best game in a specific category. That is it. It is well. Listen to it.
Check back in a week for another exciting episode of VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast.
