I haven’t even played the game and this sounds awesome.

Big fan of Better Call Saul, Sex Education, Barry, BoJack Horseman, and, especially, Survivor

On one hand, the game’s story is so good, I’m not sure how they could improve in it, so it’s pretty unnecessary.

On the other hand, this could help introduce more people to an ingenious journey. I know there’s no chance or it happening, but I’d love to see Troy Baker play Joel again. I know he’s too small a name, but I’d love to see him break out into the mainstream, even though he’s apparently said he doesn’t want to. I’d say the same stuff about Ashley Johnson, but she’s too old to play the role outside of motion capture.

The way this is going to face the same went from most acclaimed show of the year and Emmy sweeping team to most mocked show of the year and lucky to be nominated for writing this garbage again team curse that both The Undoing and Hollywood faced…

I don’t know… It may happen, but for now, I trust in Craig Mazin.

Me too but I also trusted in Ryan Murphy and David E. Kelley… …I hope I am wrong

If you are following Game Community, Neil Druckmann (The game director/writer) also directly involved in this one. The thing that made the 2nd Installment received hate from fans was a feminazi ruining the 2nd installment

not sure what makes you think this so prematurely, at least for the Undoing and Hollywood the trailers looked mediocre.

Don’t know where that thought comes from, this is the greatest story ever told in a game, there would have to be some kind of catastrophe for it to turn out like Hollywood.

Pascal is a great fit. Less sure about Ramsey, but I think she’ll be strong as well.
