It would be kind of similar to TLOU as the story would focus on Lee and Clementine, an older man/father figure traveling with a child in a post-apocalyptic world and season 1 of Telltale's game was very good.

Obviously Telltale's WD or their games don't have the popularity that ND or TLOU have but The Walking Dead brand could make up for it and now that HBO proved it can be done with TLOU i can see Netflix, Amazon, or AMC themselves have their go at the live-action adaptation. I myself stopped watching the main Walking Dead show around season 8. Came back for season 9 to give it a second chance and once again stopped watching a few episodes in. Haven't looked back since and this is coming from someone who used to watch the show religiously.

However, adapting Telltale's The Walking Dead game would pull me back instantly. What'd you guys think?

Not sure if that would be a good idea. The Walking Dead series has runs it's course IMO.

 

[Husky]

Dude they have seven The Walking Dead TV shows released or in-development right now. So yes, this actually is possible lmao

 

[TexMex]

No

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

No....


Keep only the game.

The Walking Dead as a franchise feels pretty played out at this time.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

No. If TLoU had been produced by AMC it would be a hot pile of dogshit.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

So a show based off the game, based off the show, based off the comic book? Sure, why not.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

if the story is any good, yeah.

if its simply hyped up by gamers, nah.

 

[Arsic]

Nah. The walking dead is played out at this point.

They need to make 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim into a show. That would be a few seasons of mind fuck. Could do it like that Netflix show where you can watch in any order or whatever.

Could do Disco Elysium into a show. Fantastic true detective kind of vibes in a unique world. Have the narrator do his internal monologues.

I fucking LOOOVED that game but I have hard time imagining how 13 Sentinels would work as TV show format.

 

[EDMIX]

no

Lots of ways to do it. Each season can follow a few characters.

The game is essentially a giant visual novel. Shouldn’t be hard to adapt to a screen at all.

 

[DForce]

Nah, the franchise has been milked to death so I don't see the TV show doing that well at all.

Problem is try to appeal to mass audience. TLOU is zombie show with father/daughter relationship, it easy to appeal to normal people. !3 Sentinels in other hand has lots of mind fuck moments which I fucking love but I dont think will appeal to most people. 2nd problem is story told through none linear fashion which are not told in chronological order, its not easy adapted to TV show, but who knows maybe someone can.

 

[L*][*N*K]

And call it THE WALKING DEAD!!!

 

[xrnzaaas]

The Last of Us has proven that recreating scenes or character deaths from the games is missing the wow factor when you know what happened. And it would be even more problematic with Telltale's Walking Dead since that game has barely any gameplay outside of following the story.

 

[HL3.exe]

There are probably more interesting games franchises to adapt from then doing another zombie show. Also, The Walking Dead had it's chance already.

Would love a Bioshock show, or even Thief (even though it's not very known recently). Those worlds, themes and characters would be great for a political/character drama.

Edit: or Disco Elysium! Pfff, can only imagine.

 

[Spyxos]

I am so tired of Walking Dead and after the games and 7 seasons of Walking dead I am so over it. And only the first Telltale game was really good.

I mean just look at it.

 

[taizuke]

Think of it this way guys at least there will be no race swapping controversy with Lee and Clementine. lol

 

[itsjustJEFF]

Yea, I don't know about The Walking Dead games. I think there is big TWD fatigue, but maybe The Wolf Among Us? That could be interesting.

 

[Codes 208]

How about no?

Seriously, do we really another TWD tv series? Let alone another zombie show/movie

 

[THE DUCK]

This thread should be deleted as it's pointless. We don't need another bad walking dead series.
