Nobody Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Worthy of a thread IMO. First episode was bloody great, very promising for the rest of the series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Watched it. Never played the game so dunno how true it is to source. Doesnt look especially original but its very well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, I know nothing of the game so it's all new to me, is it just a better version of the Walking Dead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxsln Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) If you remove the first 20 minutes, it was exactly like the game. First season is just about Last of Us part1? Is a second season planned? I wonder if they will add crap that "happened" between LoU and LoU2 to make more seasons. Edited January 17 by lxsln Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Yeah, first season is the first game apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Really really enjoyed it. Genuinely rate the games as in my top 5 of all time (yes even 2 which some people have major issues with). It’s very true to the game but also adding nice TV elements to it to expand a little. Top notch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Going to watch it tonight. What's the synopsis as I've never played the game? Post-apocalyptic world where zombies are on the hunt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Fungal infection which has basically turned people into flesh eating zombies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I think boiling it down to "story about zombies" is doing it dirty a bit. The infected are just set-dressing, at least in the game, the story is very much about Ellie and Joel's journey and relationship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Thought the first episode was excellent btw, nailed the atmosphere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top notch. TLoU2 is a masterpiece, arguably better than the first game. Peoples reasons for disliking it are beyond stupid. Loved the first episode of the series. It's faithful, which is all I hoped for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Absolutely love the game and very excited about this. I'm going to wait until all episodes are out and binge it over a couple of days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Thought that first episode was excellent and I've been nervous because The Last of Us is the best game I've ever played and one of the best ever stories I've had the pleasure of experiencing. One thing I'm worried about though, if season one is game one, is the TV show going to eventually overtake the game? I really won't be happy if my first experience to new parts of this story, and of course the conclusion of the story, isn't in the game like. I don't have to watch it at that stage but I'm not reading a spoiler about it online either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect they'd cover some of that time rather than go straight to part 2. Especially considering what happens at the beginning of the second game.

Yes I agree with Troll, also don't think they'll have covered the whole of the first game by the end of S1 as I expect a few other game bits and the world to be expanded.

MrRaspberryJam Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Solid start. Never played the game so no idea how accurate it is but either way as a total novice I enjoyed it. 7/10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Not really spoilers, but putting it in them just in case re: what's due to be covered versus the game: Spoiler Apparently it'll fully cover the first game, and does so beat-by-beat. The only extra stuff is additional character development for the supporting cast where Joel wouldn't be on screen etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Amazing first episode. Played the game years ago when it first came out so can hardly remember what happened but the scenes when driving, looking through the windscreen from the back seat perspective, with the headlights full beam were absolutely spot on. Instantly brought back memories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 https://gizmodo.com/last-of-us-hbo-length-left-behind-dlc-neil-druckmann-1849945355 tl;dr: Season one is the first game. The second game is likely to take two seasons to cover. They have no interest in doing anything after the existing source material. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Enjoyed that. Played the game for a bit years ago just didn’t have time to play it that much. Can’t remember much about it or how far I got into it. May revisit it if I get chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't read the article, but to back this up is that the creator of the show is the creator of Chernobyl, and that was just a one and done season. HBO also has previous with Watchmen, which was incredible, of just doing one season. On the other hand, there's obviously Game of Thrones (but that just probably got too big for its own good tbf) and that absolutely no one knows what the fuck is going on with the HBO/Discovery merger.

mouldy_uk Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Never played the game but really enjoyed the first episode. Some of the scenes had a very gaming cut scene feel to them (e.g driving scene with the plane), but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Interested to see where it goes and if it has anything to really set it apart from the standard ‘end of days’ / zombie offering. A very good 8/10 for the first episode Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
