Trying ... to ... resist ... watching ...

Dan

Those are some nice(Not really a spoiler, just being respectful to those who haven't watched the trailer)

If you just thought that was a great song choice ... that and an Easter egg ...

MrX

They really nailed the locations from the game.

That looked like (not a major spoiler)

Looks good. I haven’t played either of the games yet but would like to eventually. Thing is my fiancée and I just started watching another post apocalyptic type show (The Walking Dead) so not sure if we’ll want to start another similar-ish series.

Deftones

Review here says it is very good: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv...bo-1235292687/

Decker

It's at a very high 80 on Metacritic

Alan Sepinwall liked it a lot as well.

I just replayed the first game and equally amazing on the second playthrough. Started the second game this week and, wooah, 2 hours in and did not see THAT coming.

So, is the show going to be one big spoiler if I have yet to play the two games? I’d hate to miss a great show, but I also want to play games in the not too distant future.

dstrauss

Season 1 of the show is said to follow the game very very closely.

alfredog1976

If the first season covers the entire first game, then yes, you’ll get a massive spoiler if you watch the show first.

Cellar Door

Yeah, I'm torn. I really want to watch it as it comes out, but I also want to play the game unspoiled and I've read that there will be a PC version of the game available in March, which is soon enough that I will probably wait.

Aren't the games like a decade old at this point? (I haven't played video games in like 15 years, so I don't know what has been referred to is something newer)

Deftones

June 2013 release for 1st game
June 2020 release for 2nd game
So yes, just about a decade ago. TBH I would play the game first before I watched the show.

ViewAskewbian

I agree with Deftones, play these games. The first one is one of my favorite gaming experiences. The story and acting and score are all amazing.

I am only about 4 hours into the second game and it's different due to a major spoiler I won't state here but thus far still maintains the high level of quality (especially acting) as the first.

outcastja

Just finished Part 1 and the Left Behind add-on last night. The game was amazing, makes me hyped for the show.

Season 1 will only cover Part 1 correct? Or will I need to play Part 2 before the show starts to avoid getting the game spoiled?

Noonan

Season 1 is the first game only.

The moment with Joel and Ellie where they find





is one of my favourite gaming moments I've experienced.

I hope that's in the show

Deftones

I can't imagine it wouldn't be. One of the more compelling visual moments of the game.

OldBoy

The news of playing games first while entirely true, I’m sure, really blows. It’ll take me years.

Noonan

Why would it take you years? It's not a 40+ hour RPG or a 100+ hour Ubisoft game. No open world to explore. Even for you, the 20-25 hours the game takes wouldn't be that long.

OldBoy

20-25 hours to most is 100-150 for me. hell, i've played God of War for about 30 game time hours and only on Chapter 8.

Couldn't decide if I should put this here or in the Short Jokes thread :
