After the TV hit Fallout, everyone is buzzing about the next game-turned-show. Ex-BioWare developer David Gaider shook things up by nominating Disco Elysium over the Mass Effect trilogy.
The Fallout Show is incredibly GOOD
After the smashing premiere of the Fallout TV series, critics from all sides are clamoring to crown the next big video game adaptation. David Gaider, known for his work on the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series, gave his opinion on potential video game TV adaptations. Surprisingly, he advocated for a David Lynch-esque take on Disco Elysium, sidelining the obvious option, Mass Effect.
Gaider's unexpected stance surprised many hopeful fans. But more importantly, it has reignited discussions about the feasibility and potential pitfalls of adapting complex, story-driven games like Mass Effect for television.
In a Reddit thread on April 14, fans shared Gaider's concerns that a Mass Effect adaptation could suffer the same fate as Halo, which is known for its deviations from the source material and a low audience score of 52 percent. They fear that a faithful adaptation of the Mass Effect trilogy could lack originality compared to the gaming experience.
