What Makes A Good Video Game Adaptation? - Episode 15

In this episode 15, we delve into the ins and outs of what we think the real struggles are of turning some of the worlds most loved and adored games into a film or TV series.

It's no easy feat to turn such an interactive and immersive experience into another medium, but why? What are the inherent difficulties of converting this form of entertainment? Do different genres, play styles, graphics, narratives dictate how it can be adapted? Will they ever be able to capture what its like to play the game? Is that crucial?
