Also Gran Turismo in early development. (Uh.....isn't that just a racing sim?)

‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ Series in Early Development at Netflix

More Sony video games are in line for the TV treatment, as Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Tony Vinciquerra revealed in an investor briefing on Thursday that popular PlayStation titles “Horizon Zero Dawn” and “Gran Turismo” are the latest games going Hollywood.

The “Horizon Zero Dawn” series, based on the popular video games where robotic dinosaurs roam a post-apocalyptic America, is in early development at Netflix, while “Gran Turismo,” a racing series, hasn’t landed a distributor yet and is also in early development.

In addition to the new projects, Sony confirmed that the “God of War” series, which was first announced in March as being shopped around to Amazon, has landed at the Prime Video streamer.

Please don't suck, please don't suck

The article notes several other game properties in development, I had heard of them all but hadn't seen them all listed together like this

The next highly anticipated title is the “Last of Us” series coming to HBO, which stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as the zombie apocalypse survivors Joel and Ellie. There’s also a “Twisted Metal” series, based on the vehicular combat video games, starring Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Neve Campbell and Thomas Haden Church coming to Peacock.

On top of those, there’s a “Ghost of Tsushima” feature film in the works from “John Wick” director Chad Stahelski. The video game takes place in feudal Japan and follows a samurai named Jin Sakai on a quest for revenge during the Mongol invasion. Outside of Sony’s realm, other video game adaptations in the works include Amazon’s “Fallout” series, starring Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell, from the “Westworld” creative team; Netflix’s “Bioshock” movie; and a rumored “Mass Effect” series at Amazon.

I think of all of these The Last of Us seems like the one most likely to turn out well, and was a smart pick-up for HBO.

Horizon would need a shitload of money behind it, unless it’s based on stuff that happened pre-Aloy.

god of war would probably be best as an animated series, even in a post game of thrones tv world (more freely used gore & nudity) I really dont see how it could be pulled off in live action without it either costing a large fortune in cgi & practical effects or looking terrible.

I could be wrong and the pull it off perfectly (and I hope they do.) but depending on which setting they go for it'll be the incredibly blood thirsty rampage of revenge of the Greek era or the more measured violence of the Norse era it'll still be super expensive to do.

Will they get Becky Lynch to play that one girl?

I'm currently playing that Horizon game on my PS4.

I have no idea what the story is about. Some shit about terraforming or whatever.

I just enjoy shooting arrows at giant robots and getting killed repeatedly.

A group of tribes fight to stop killer machine animals and futuristic cults from taking over the earth?
