Foreign media said the success of "TLOU" opened up the way for the live-action of "Big Cousin"

From the perspective of foreign media gamerant, the success of HBO's "The Last of Us" has opened the way for the film and television adaptation of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption".

The recent success of HBO's "The Last of Us," the video game adaptation, has attracted massive audiences and garnered critical acclaim. In addition to the luxurious cast, there are many people who praised the series for the restoration of the original game and the impact of this on the credibility and depth of the series.

It is also worth mentioning that "The Last Survivor" broke the curse of "game change" without excellent works. With that in mind, The Last of Us opens the door for other live-action game adaptations. Gamerant thinks that Red Dead Redemption might be a perfect fit.

HBO's "The Last of Us" aims to tell the complete story of the original game in a 10-episode TV series, and many people have speculated that its second season will tell the story of "The Last of Us 2". The series painstakingly reproduces the tone and theme of the end of the world, and it attaches great importance to restoring the original game.

And perhaps the most impressive of these are the frame-by-frame re-creations of some famous or memorable cutscenes. And some emotional scenes also get their exact direction from the game. And that attention to detail clearly resonated with fans. "The Last of Us" has grown in popularity with each week it airs, and continues to break HBO's ratings records, which brings a fairly positive signal for the video game adaptation project.

While the range of video games suitable for adaptation is vast, none are as similar to The Last of Us as Red Dead Redemption. The Last of Us offered a more intimate, narrative-driven experience, but the stories of the "Red Dead" franchise were just as critically acclaimed, and so were the characters.

The doomsday setting of "The Last of Us" shines, and the "Big Cousin" series thrives on its Western theme, which is one of the most legendary settings in the medium of film and television. It can be said that both IPs have similar cultural significance.

Both series also have two titles available for adaptation, which means that it will not be overstretched, but still enough to satisfy hopeful fans, and these two IPs have a good balance between their action scenes and character emotions. With a similar performance, the success of HBO's "The Last of Us" could improve the chances of taking the "Red Dead Redemption" series of live-action projects to similar heights.
