We all know that fantastic TV series or movies almost invariably flop when they are made into games.
But every now and again a show comes along that just seems to be begging developers to try again.
The Wire is one of these shows.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
This isn't really industry news. It's essentially some guy saying he wishes they'd make a game out of The Wire. Call it a blog, I don't know.
At any rate, The Wire happens to be what I'd consider the greatest television program ever.
The Wire was great
great writers, great cast. Will it transfer into a game that matches the show.....doubt it. Great stories are not a penchant for modern day games anyway. The ones that do have deep stories are labelled 'movies' by some or tend to be rpgs and even those stories have been dire on most accounts
@michellejbuss
good show to game transfers can happen but the better stories or ones that are heavily story/character driven are hard to translate into games because of the industry as it stands. Action first story l8r is the norm almost like an afterthought. Yes, there will definitely be some anomalies but that's just it, they're anomalies and you'll only be able to name a few if you know what i mean. I want then to tarnish the name of the show by making some shooter or a non story driven type game. '3 killings an episode' isn't enough to make a 'wire' game.
Yeah, painstaking long-term surveillance makes for great gameplay. Love the show to bits, but there's no game there.
"They didn't have the Honeynut"?!! LOL!!
OK, all I want to know to this day is who killed Bodie?!!
