In summary, the game is more about a mushy father-son dynamic than slaying gods. He begins to form an interest in his son’s needs and desires. Kratos soon shows compassion and actual fear at losing Atreus. Typical of Kratos, he is stoic and impossible to deal with in the beginning of the game, but as he and Atreus venture throughout vast lands, players slowly begin to see an unknown, softer side to the god. Though this game may not feature zombies as the main conflict, the theme of unbreakable, life-long bonds is carried on through this piece of work. Meanwhile, Kratos is constantly being hunted by his past in the form of Norse gods and myths. Kratos’ wife has just passed away, so the two must bring her ashes to their destined area among the mountains. This iteration of God of War finds an old and withered Kratos and his ambitious son Atreus at a very somber moment in their lives.

This soft-reboot and continuation of the original God of War series took the video game world by storm, earning several positive reviews and a sure spot on the Game of the Year list. It didn’t seem possible to make the story of an irritable god-killer a relatable, heartbreaking father-son journey for the ages.

Though this game may be heavier on the dialogue and lack the free exploration that The Last of Us offers, true terror awaits around every corner in the form of zombies and survivors. While the game’s huge name may have drawn players in, what has kept fans with bated breath while waiting for the next season’s release has been the unwavering bond between the two main characters and the almost impossible emotional strength of Clementine. What follows is years of anguish for both characters as they fight for their survival throughout multiple seasons, in typical Taletell fashion. Similar to The Last of Us, the story follows Lee Everett, an ex-convict who finds a reason to live while protecting the young, impressionable Clementine. This episodic masterpiece was something of a gem that players were hard-pressed to find when it first released. As a fan of The Last of Us, I can tell you with confidence that the video game series is on a much smaller scale than the fantasy juggernaut.Released in 2012, Taletell’s original story within The Walking Dead universe was an instant fan favorite, earning it the prestigious Game of the Year Award at the VGAs. Game of Thrones was about dragons and warring kingdoms. But I honestly can’t even fathom what this show will be like now that I know it’s going to be so expensive to produce.

By Season 6 of Game of Thrones, episodes were costing upwards of $10 million to make, so yes, by this admission, The Last of Us will be among if not HBO's biggest show since Game of Thrones. Did you just hear that? “This project well exceeds the eight figure per episode mark.” Eight figures is at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000), and this show will "well exceed" that amount PER EPISODE.

There are hundreds of related businesses benefitting from the plethora of work. This project well exceeds the eight figure per episode mark, so there is a multiplier effect on our economy in terms of its impact.

In the same article, President Damian Petti, had this to say: But no, this show is apparently going to be massive with a hefty price tag that blows most shows out of the water. In fact, humans are typically your more dangerous foe in the game. I actually thought it would be more like a stripped-down version of AMC’s The Walking Dead, since the games are more of a mixture of creatures called clickers and human villains. Yes, most of the shows on HBO are typically smaller projects when compared to the fantasy beast that was Game of Thrones, but I definitely didn’t think that The Last of Us show would be some massive production. I cannot confirm the official budget numbers but will say it is likely the largest project shooting in Canada. It has had six months of prep and shoots for 12 months. It has five art directors and employs an army of hundreds of technicians. The Last of Us which commences photography this week is indeed a monster.
