What computer game would you like to see made into a TV series?

I really enjoyed the Last of Us (both the games and the TV series). I am pondering which other games I’d like to see made into a TV series. I would love it if Red Dead Redemption 2 was made into a series (it isn’t as though there are many westerns right now).

Or, perhaps, the Ghost of Tsushima? Although perhaps that has some similarities with Marco Polo (I understand that was cancelled as it was so expensive to make).

I'd watch the hell out of a live-action Dragon Age series

Final fantasy 7 or 10 could be cute!

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 17/08/2023 19:33

The Sims.

It would be so pleasingly batshit. Utter nonsense.

Interested in this thread?

God of War (the one based on the Norse Gods) would be spectacular but I suspect it would cost so much to make that it would be disappointing.

Overcooked. That would make for an interesting reality TV show 🤣🤣

SanFranBear · 17/08/2023 19:55

Any of the Zelda games... they're ace!

Star0Fire · 17/08/2023 21:48

I can definitely see a Legend of Zelda movie after the success of Mario. Maybe Animal crossing would be cute!

The Broken Sword games- I could see George and Nico having a movie for sure

Detroit: Become Human or The Last Guardian

Aaron95 · 17/08/2023 21:54

Life is Strange.

Ellemeg82 · 17/08/2023 21:58

I'd like to see more Unchartered films.

Red Dead would make a good series.

Borderlands could also be a good shout.

Detroit: Become Human or The Last Guardian

Westworld is a similar premise to Detroit Become Human (which was an excellent game) but I agree they could make a good series using the Detroit stories and characters.

Planescape Torment- the floating skull sidekick is great comic relief!

Hawkins009 · 17/08/2023 22:24

Metal gear solid
Watch dogs (although person of interest is basically similar)
Call of duty ghosts as a film

God help them

Another vote for dragon age (and def not like the cartoons released recently)

maybe the new baldurs gate which is awesome or even the whole series

You win my post of the week

I feel that Assassin's Creed was really disappointing and it should have been really amazing.

Khara · 17/08/2023 22:56

Mass Effect

Legacy of Kain

LadyFuchsiaGroan · 17/08/2023 23:53

Medievil, or a resident evil series

NeverDropYourMooncup · 17/08/2023 23:55

Manic Miner and, most of all, Llamatron.

Goodviibrations · 18/08/2023 02:30

So pleased the first answer is Dragon Age. But not sure how feasible it is when the story is so heavily dependent on your game choices.

Similarly, Detroit Become Human & Mass Effect.

Would like to see Control. A film adaptation might explain wtf is going on!
