It widened the scope of audience and gave an idea to people what games are capable of.","articleBody":"The Last of Us has been people's favorite for over a decade. The TV adaptation of the game was released in 2023, which enabled non-gamers to experience the world of The Last of Us. The show was co-created by Mazin and Druckmann, and was largely based on The Last of Us Part 1.\u00a0Season 2 of the show is currently under pre-production.\r\n\r\nPedro Pascal, left, and Bella Ramsey, right, as Joel and Ellie for HBO's The Last of Us Season 1\r\n\r\nHowever, the Initial reaction to the idea of an adaptation encountered a lot of skepticism among the crew. Troy Baker believed that the purity of The Last of Us was embedded in the medium of gaming. He believed turning the game into a show/movie could cause blunders to the franchise, and wanted to maintain the purity of the game.\r\nNeil Druckmann's words changed the crew's perception of the show\r\nNeil Druckmann, the writer and creative director of the game, convinced Baker otherwise. He said -\r\nBecause I believe this story is good enough to get out to people who will never pick up a controller, and we need to bring this story to them.\r\nNeil Druckmann first had the idea of turning the game into a movie back in 2014, but it did not materialize. In 2019, Drukmann met with Mazin and they connected instantly. HBO came on board as their distributor, with Pedro Pascal as their face for the main character.\r\n\r\n\r\nNeil Druckmann with the motion capture artists of The Last of Us Part II\r\nHis words motivated the crew and allowed them to look at the idea with a fresh perspective. Neil Druckmann came on board as the creative director for the show, which was released in January 2023. It opened doors to a wider audience, who would have never indulged in it had The Last of Us stayed merely a game. The show was well-received worldwide and received a lot of acclaim.\r\nThe response to the show changed Troy Baker's perception\r\nBaker was surprised to see how the show unfolded. He felt wonderful to see so many new fans discover the series long after the game's initial release in 2013. Baker said -\r\nEverything has been surprising because none of this has been expected.\r\nNaughty Dog's title keeps getting more fans.\r\n\r\nNeil Druckmann's creative genius and perseverance made the show possible alongside Craig Mazin, the creator of the show, along with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, who play the part of Joel and Ellie, respectively.\r\n\r\nRelated “He thought it would be a more dramatic ending\u201d: Troy Baker Suggested a Wild Ending to The Last of Us That Was Outright Rejected by Neil Druckmann\r\n\r\nTroy Baker himself appears in the show alongside Ashley Johnson, though they don't play the roles they used to in the game. Baker plays the character of James, and Johnson portrays Ellie's mother, Anna. The show has been a great collaborative effort between game developers and filmmakers, proving them to be two sides of the same coin.\r\n\r\nRelated “It could redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming”: The Last of Us’ Neil Druckmann Hypes Up His Next Game in a Predictable Fashion\r\n\r\nMany games today are successfully being adapted into movies and TV shows, including Fallout, Uncharted, and Max Payne, among many more. Game adaptations are not new, and have been happening ever since video games incorporated storytelling as a strong tool to engage people in their worlds. At the end of the day, games are an audio-visual medium, and much more.","name":"Baker's scepticism with adapting The Last of Us were wrong","@id":"https://fandomwire.com/why-not-just-leave-it-as-a-game-troy-baker-wasnt-sold-on-adapting-the-last-of-us-as-tv-series-before-neil-druckmann-had-to-change-his-mind/#richSnippet","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://fandomwire.com/why-not-just-leave-it-as-a-game-troy-baker-wasnt-sold-on-adapting-the-last-of-us-as-tv-series-before-neil-druckmann-had-to-change-his-mind/#webpage"},"image":{"@id":"https://fwmedia.fandomwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/29112913/the-last-of-us-3.jpg"},"inLanguage":"en-US","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https://fandomwire.com/why-not-just-leave-it-as-a-game-troy-baker-wasnt-sold-on-adapting-the-last-of-us-as-tv-series-before-neil-druckmann-had-to-change-his-mind/#webpage"}}]}</script>  <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="FandomWire » Stories Feed" href="https://fandomwire.com/web-stories/feed/"><style id='classic-theme-styles-inline-css' type='text/css'> /*!
