If you want to ask, in addition to "the game is out of the DLC", "the game is out of the sequel", and "the remake of the previous works", the most exciting news for game fans is "the adaptation of the game on the screen".
When they hear about the adaptation, some people will associate it with words such as magic modification and destruction of the original work. This is common in literature because words can spark an infinite imagination, and there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people. And even if the novel adaptation is recognized by the audience, the original author may not buy it.
But the game has long stereotyped the world view, picture, and protagonist image, as long as you try to respect the original work, the adaptation will generally not go wrong, and dramas such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Last of Us" are good examples.
And the latest new drama that makes game fans look forward to it, hoping to restore the unique charm of the game, it is "Fallout".
If you're not familiar with the Fallout series, here's a quick summary of its brilliance.
From the story of the original Fallout to the multiplayer adventures of Fallout 76, the story of the series spans more than two hundred years.
From Obsidian Studios to Bethesda, the Fallout series has gone through more than two decades of eventful years and won dozens of Game of the Year awards.
Take Fallout 4, for example, which is well known to many, won the 33rd Golden Joystick Award for "Most Anticipated Game" after 15 years of fairy fights, and won the 19th DICE Awards in 2016 for "Game of the Year", "RPG of the Year" and "Best Director".
Judging from the Douban score that our Chinese people are familiar with, the super high score of the Fallout tetralogy also shows that its game quality is excellent.
As an adaptation, the Fallout series naturally continues the game's time node, story setting, art style, and the impact of the nuclear panic.
However, this time it is not the "old popsicle" and "one man and one dog picking up garbage" plots in the fourth game that we are familiar with, but the story is set in 2296, 219 years after the outbreak of nuclear war, in Vault 33 in Los Angeles, where survivors living in underground "vaults" must bravely cross the radioactive wasteland.
Let's take a look at the degree of stills restoration.
This one, I believe you when you say it's a game screen.
This one, the power mecha has 100% restoration
This one, Marvel Red Skull friendship starred?No, no, no, it's actually derived from the ghoul setting in the game.
Ghouls were subjected to a huge amount of nuclear radiation, causing body mutations, but the massive nuclear radiation did not kill them, but gave them the ability to never die naturally, so most of them were pre-war antiques, and their survival time spanned a hundred years. (There is also a kind of mad ghoul that has a lot of radiation and is full of desire to attack).
Although the scene is fully restored, some netizens suggested going to Japan to shoot, which seems to be reasonable.
Some netizens also said that they didn't see black people in the stills, and he didn't watch them!
Ahem, to get back to business, as a fan of the "Fallout" game, the degree of restoration is still no problem.
Of course, the high degree of restoration of the scene and characters is the credit of the set designer and makeup artist, and the plot still depends on the main creators.
It is understood that the show has a total of 8 episodes, co-produced and scripted by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, and Jonathan Nolan will also direct the first 3 episodes.
When you hear Nolan, you will think of the famous Nolan who filmed "Bat Trilogy" and "Interstellar".
But this Nolan is not Nolan, this Jonathan Nolan is Christopher Nolan's younger brother, and he has excellent screenwriting skills, and has served as the screenwriter of the "Deadly Magic" and "Dark Knight" series, and the main creator of "Westworld".
Although his script is full of tension and unstoppable, he has a bad problem, he runs away halfway through the creation, so he also likes to mention the titles of "Jonathan Nolan from the beginning to chaos and finally abandonment" and "Jonathan is three times and four Nolan". Let's hope this Fallout episode won't.
Looking back at the history of game adaptations of live-action dramas, word-of-mouth that meets expectations is often the most consistent with the original.
The Last of Us has the same camera position in the first episode as the game, and the audience responded well because it was as reproduced as possible.
Of course, it is not completely copied, in the third episode, it changed the previous blood-soaked painting style, and came a romantic apocalyptic love, and the last small town warm lamentation. (This plot is controversial due to its same-sex involvement).
And although the other casting of "The Witcher" has been criticized, the protagonist has almost been unanimously recognized, and it can be regarded as supporting the whole show.
In general, it is unrealistic to expect the series to be completely faithful to the original, because the rhythm of the game plot is inherently different from that of film and television, and the director also has to take care of new, zero-threshold film and television audiences, and finally make some games that don't like to repeat the plot feel fresh.
Although the adaptation has a novel and magical world view, a twists and turns of the plot, and a rich and three-dimensional character setting, it must also weigh the need to change and stay, and it must have both the courage to innovate and the talent to retain its essence.
