The Rise of Video Game Adaptations

from The Bearded Robot Podcast · host Bearded Robot

🎮 The Rise of Video Game Adaptations 🎬Video game adaptations have been notoriously hit-or-miss, but in recent years, we’ve seen a shift from disaster (Resident Evil Netflix, Assassin’s Creed, Hitman) to prestige (The Last of Us, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Sonic). But why are they finally getting it right?In this episode, we break down:✅ What makes a great video game adaptation✅ The best (The Last of Us, Fallout, Sonic) vs. the worst (Silent Hill: Revelation, Hitman, Resident Evil Netflix)✅ The biggest challenges in adapting games to screen✅ The dream adaptations we’d love to see (Bioshock, Red Dead Redemption, Metal Gear Solid)We’re focusing only on games turned into TV/movies, so don’t expect talk of movie-to-game adaptations (GoldenEye, Spider-Man 2—we’ll save that for another time!).Join us for the discussion, and let us know: What game do YOU want to see adapted next?🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast platforms!
