That's pretty bad ass. One of the actual
"Last of Us" showrunners (Craig Mazin) did HBO's
"Chernobyl", which has to be hands down one of
the best mini-series on TV in the past decade IMHO. I'm hoping he carries that magic to the TV adaptation of the game, because - let's face it - the actual game is basically just
"The Walking Dead" + LGBTQ character drama. Not saying that's a bad thing, but it's not exactly new. And without Johan Renck doing any directing (originally he was going to do the pilot but had to drop out), I'm sure the show will have a very different feel. Also was hoping they'd use Hildur Guðnadóttir for the score, but it looks like they're using the original game composer (Gustavo Santaolalla).
Anyway, sorry to derail - I'm just hugely excited for the TV series. And seeing an MPC-X (well, a 9-pad version probably due to copyright) in the game was awesome.

It's a fantastic game, but it's not exactly unique. It's basically "collect crap to modify weapons, shoot zombies, go stealth and sneak around, fight various human military groups, watch cut scenes". Can get a bit redundant at times. But the re-mastered version Part 1 for the PS5 looks great, and Part 2 looks just as great.
