Some plots of HBO's The Last of Us TV series are very different from the original work

Today (March 21), according to IGN, the plot of the first season of HBO's "The Last of Us" TV series is adapted from the first game, but the plots of some episodes will be very different from the original.

At the recent South by Southwest conference, Neil Druckmann, executive producer of HBO's "The Last of Us" TV series, said in an interview with IGN that HBO's "The Last of Us" TV series will directly draw plot dialogues from the original game, but compared with the plots that everyone has played before, some plots will be "greatly deviated."

Of course, Neil Druckmann couldn't reveal too much about the exact plans for the TV series, such as how it will compare to the games, but he explained that audiences will definitely recognize some lines and be surprised by most of the plot of the series.

Neil Druckmann said: “Sometimes the plots are very close. It’s interesting to see the dialogue that I [created] in the HBO script. Sometimes they deviate to a very large extent because we are dealing with a different medium.

For example, in games, there’s a lot of action that teaches the player the mechanics of the game. In a way, TV shows have to have more violence than games because you don’t have to train the audience on how to use a gun. So it’s a very different thing, and HBO has been pushing us to move away from the hardcore action and focus more on the drama of the characters. Some of my favorite moments so far have been very different from the original stories, and I can’t wait for everyone to see them.”
