I'd definitely would rather rewatch the show than replay TLOU1. Just for episode 3 if not for anything else.
it is interesting indeed. I guess it depends on what you value more, all perspective.I found it interesting to listen to people who hadn't played the game, or who played the game after watching the show. It really showed that a big part of which one you think handled things better depended on which one you experienced first. The people on The Prestige TV podcat generally preferred the way the show handled things as they didn't like how the game would veer into combat. Specifically they didn't like that the barn conversation was broken up in the game by a combat sequence.
I think they both have their own unique strengths and lean into the advantages their respective mediums. You highlight the advantages of telling the story in a game, but on the other hand you couldn't do something like episode 3 in a game, and there's no need to balance out plot development with combat to keep the gameplay part engaging in a show.
I'd hesitate to call one superior to the other, as despite being the same basic story it's really apples and oranges.

I dance way way better than that :P
I would have preferred if the show didn't told the same story. It's not a must watch if you already played the game and you can skip the game if you watched the show. Original story in the same universe or some sort of prequel would have been more exciting and complement the games with a better synergySo does everyone agree with me that TLOU1 is still far superior to the show? I mean the show was an amazing adaptation but the emotional attachment and set pieces you get in the game just can't be replicated in the show. The amount of time you spend in the game with these characters also can't be replicated unless you have an unlimited budget.
Nah, announcements are Wednesdays, and the one before first Tuesday in a month for Essential, so next one is on 1st of May.Just asking, like always.
Don't kill me 🐒
Today is PS+ announcement, right?
They're obviously talking about the PlayStation 7 since the already got the PS6 in the manga.
You could though, if you aren't concerning yourself with making sure your gamer audience gets to shoot guns and snap necks every 30-45 minutes. Plenty of indie games don't have the budget but do have the structure to do something like episode 3.I think they both have their own unique strengths and lean into the advantages their respective mediums.

OK, sure, you could, but let's be honest, it wouldn't really work in this game. TLOU is already criticised for having too many slow walking sequences, and they do hugely impact replays. What exactly would making that episode a playable sequence add? What gameplay mechanics could there be that don't fundamentally change the tone and detract from the narrative of the episode? In what way would it be better than the episode itself, or better than a really long cutscene? Even then, what's the idea, have it be a shooter with stealth elements for most of the game and then pivot into a drastically different genre for one chapter?You could though, if you aren't concerning yourself with making sure your gamer audience gets to shoot guns and snap necks every 30-45 minutes.

I think it's just AAA games don't *want* to do something like episode 3.
It's true.
Liberty Day here.
And really nice to see the Red Cravo (no idea how it's said in english) in the picture

I wasn't really planning on getting it at launch but the DF video and the glowing review from Fighting Cowboy bowled me over. So I pre-ordered the physical ed. this morning.

Disgusting that that piece of shit is selling well. So disappointed in reality as a whole right now.
