Neil is only 1/2 of the duo responsible for creating this IP, not to mention everyone else at ND. He may have been credited as lead writer, but he did not have complete freedom – Straley and others made him change a lot of ideas he had. Many ideas pushed aside for the first game were then, depsite being deemed lackluster for the first game, reused by Neil for the 2nd game, which he had more creative control over. Look at the 2nd game compared to the first and wherever you stand on the difference between those two games will tell you whether or not Neil’s involvement in the show is enough to make it worthwhile.
Mortal Kombat Conquest looks better.
It's not hard too avoid the video game curse when made too TV or film ,you just take a more grounded approach and stop treating it like gamers are all kids
Best story is witcher 3 ,sorry but true
If there was any curse Arcane already broke it
love the bafomet on that all saints shirt
Seems like they're just trying to get ahead of the hate. Nice try, fellas. You don't get to decide you avoided ruining it. WE do.

He originally said “It's an open and shut case, this is the greatest story that has ever been told in video games”.
The word usage of "Its an open and shut case" lends to the idea that there is no option of opinion.
Comes across as damage control.
Sonic the hedgehog avoid the video game curse
The trick is… Wait for it …. READ AND ADAPT
But just why why decided to let put the spores 🥲
Now lets see if the show is better than last of us part 2 😉
Understand it,, but make it pg 13 and take out the spores 👍🏻 real love letter to fans
That show is going to flop massively and I'm glad about it
Drunkmann will let y’all down again. 100%
As long as they understand the story, catch that emotion and impact like they did in the game then the show will be a success. The trailer looks interesting so far. Resident evil failed us on their end.
A little premature, no? Reviews haven't been released and the public hasn't seen it…I'm cautiously optimistic, but still.
Another thing they can avoid is repeating the non canon part 2 disaster.
Honestly it sounds like Neil will be the reason this tv show fails sadly
Yeah Neil sounds really out of touch with reality…. How does action make for a boring show??? Makes 0 sense
Neil cuckman
The show hasn’t come out yet. How do they know they’ve avoided it?
Can't wait
Satan
Gaming has grown so much
theres no such thing as the video game curse. Its because producers does not respect the game story line
The Uncharted movie was 💩 and Neil/Sony/ND were involved 🫠. I hate the casting in this too.
This makes me happy to hear! A story of this caliber, they CANNOT mess this up.
Can’t wait to see the new show fans experience the disaster of part 2 like the gamers did
Bile Cuckmann hates white males and got a great female game director fired from Uncharted.
What we should not forget, tlou is based on the video game, not from comic.
Don’t kill your main character barely an hour into the second game and you won’t have that
There going to get to be short series/ cancel the show after season one or two take look recent shows past shows back from 2020 up till nowadays
Seeing all the positive reviews and how much love the people working on the show have for it, is really making me excited. Even if it isn’t the best show i’ve ever seen, I’m genuinely intrigued to see how the show will differ to the game. Either way, so happy we aren’t getting another uncharted and that’s for sure!
FINALLY
Holy crap this is how the Witcher should have been treated
Yeah because other video game adaptations barely avoid pitfalls like Sonic the Hedgehog, Cuphead, Edgerunners, Legend of Vox Machina, Pokemon, and Castlevania.
Actress who's playing Allie needs more poligons on her face
Please move on from Zombies Druckmann. Make ND do something more interesting than TLoU now.
I'm one of those ppl that has a hard time accepting actors being cast that look nothing like the game characters but… with this I'll just keep telling myself "trust the process" 😅🤞.
piss off cuckman
your actors don’t even look like they are wearing their own clothes, it literally looks like a fanboy costume from the game
Great! Now do a sequel to the uncharted movie with this great mindset 😬
