Liam Lambert, GIZORAMA - "Videogames are not movies. They share common elements and both present audio visual narratives, but that's about where the similarities end. I've made my feelings about videogame movie adaptations known before, mostly in response to possible Mass Effect and Deus Ex: Human Revolution movies. Long story short: it would be impossible to condense the amount of player choice found in those games into a single, linear narrative. So many players experience those games differently, and a movie that only picks one of many conceivable paths would just aggravate the very people it's marketed at. I did, however, express a more positive attitude towards cinematic adaptations of more linear games like Halo or Call of Duty.
Take Halo for example; it has a rich universe and back-story to pillage from without treading on the toes of any future Halo games, and its gameplay is linear enough for most players to have experienced it in roughly the same manner. Of course, there would be no "Legendary" mode for the movie wherein the main character dies and re-spawns 200 times before the film's climax, but for the most part, a cinematic adaptation of the Halo universe can, and arguably has been, done."

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.
Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"
They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.
That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.
What a waste of time and money, what a shame.
I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!
Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait
Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.
TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…
This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
Says you.
I know the movie won't be as good as the game but I'm curious to see how they tackle the project. Plus I love movies that involve post apocalyptic infections.
The movie just wont be able to compare to the game, I find with a game you grow attached to the characters and get so much more attached to the story line, films you just watch and have no say
