"The Last Of Us is the first good filmed video game adaptation". That's cheating. The game is already a pretty grounded and character-focused zombie apocalypse drama. Call me when they do a banger adaptation of Katamari Damacy also starring Pedro Pascal

Finally we've solved the main hurdle in game development: the inability to create randomized content
we're entering a new era in AI-first game creation ☀️ up to now AAA games like Red Dead Redemption 2 cost $500M and took over 3,000 people 8 years to make with generative AI, small teams can ship at near AAA quality but at a fraction of the cost & time a few thoughts 👇
