![]() Modern phones all have high-quality cameras, so that wasn’t as much of an issue. Of course, bringing the game to phones presented a unique set of challenges. We feel like mobile is a perfect home because you can get those casual gamers who might check something out on their phone but don’t have a Steam account or console.” “Everyone has eyes and everyone blinks, so we always wanted to design the game to be played by gamers and non-gamers alike. “We always knew that mobile was a great fit and wanted the game to come to mobile because we’re using a mode of control that everybody is inherently familiar with,” Parkes explained. Mobile was the most logical place to go next from Parkes’ point of view. As a result, there are only specific platforms to which it can expand. The PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch don’t have built-in webcams, so GoodbyeWorld couldn’t put Before Your Eyes on those platforms with their desired controls. Parkes admitted that they didn’t really think about if the game needed to have broad appeal and compatibility with every gaming platform. But if there is, that’s what the story is about.Before Your Eyes started as a capstone project at USC. “And if we know emotional success can still happen in this world, if it can go well, we can worry a little bit more as Joel and Ellie move through this story because if there’s no chance it goes well, then no one cares much.

In the original story, Bill and Frank get into a bitter fight. That episode was the biggest divergence from the game. Despite spending his entire life identifying as a survivalist, he winds up deciding to die along with his loved one, a radical and in some ways beautiful transformation. Kathleen leads her army into slaughter at the hands of the infected in pursuit of vengeance of her brother.Īnd yet Bill, a loner, only finds happiness once he finds Frank. ![]() He’s so distraught by the turn of events that he then turns the gun on himself. After Sam becomes infected, Henry must shoot him. ![]() It’s just that making that choice-and pinning the entirety of your identity to one other person-often has dire consequences. Henry rats out revolutionaries to FEDRA to help his younger brother Sam Kathleen (a creation of the show) risks the lives of her entire army to go after the one man, Henry, who she blames for her brother’s death Bill will burn the living and undead alike to protect his love, Frank.Įarly in the series, Tess tells Joel, “Save who you can save.” It’s an individualist motto suited to the post-apocalypse where few communities survive, let alone thrive. Again and again, characters in the show choose to save the one person they love even if it means betraying their values. And over the course of nine episodes, it primed its audience for just such an ethical quandary. The series had to find other ways to emphasize the gravity of Joel’s decision.

He doesn’t hem or haw over moral quandaries. Pedro Pascal’s version of Joel doesn’t hesitate before acting. ![]() The Last of Us TV show has not strayed far from the game throughout its run, and in the final episode it continued to hew closely to its source material. ![]()
