Why Make a New Game When a TV Show Will Sell Your Old Games? - Next-Gen Console Watch

Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch. This week Daemon is joined by Ryan McCaffrey of the Unlocked podcast, and Max Scoville from Beyond. The topic: are video game publishers better off making adaptations of their games, rather than making new games? Fallout and The Last of Us are two examples of a TV adaptation of a video game done right, and Sony is leaning hard into their IP for more TV series. Is it more financially viable for an IP holder to license their properties for a prestige TV show, over making a new entry in the video game franchise? And would fans prefer that, as long as the shows are good?

  • I’m glad games figured it out. Tv Series are WAYYYYY BETTER than movies for video games. Tv series allow it to be more detailed and tell more of the story the movies never did games true justice.

    • Name one ☝️. Oh wait you can’t. The walking dead was a show before it turned into a movie. The only game that really did this was King Kong. Game developers can’t keep up. Helldivers 2 is still up there 👀 been some months for what a 200 person company ?

  • Halo really shot itself in the foot with it being an AU story. Imagine if we got something about some insurgents on a planet in the outer colonies just at the start of the covenant war. Where at the start, they're fighting the UNSC for their independence. And here comes a covenant ship that starts glassing the place and it becomes a fight for survival to escape off world. Evading the Kig-Yar scouts, taking out some Ungoyy, an extremely close encounter with some Sangheili that leads to tragic deaths. Maybe even a run in with some UNSC marine or Spartan that has them on edge at first but work together to overcome the alien threat. A whole original story that could canonically take place within the universe of the games, books and comics.

  • The TV show gets viewers curious about the game. The Game is the hook. New game would be the big money maker as most of the people who play the games recently either bought it at a huge discount or have owned it since 2015. So a new game would sell to the new and old fans together for a bigger first month profit.
