El Paso, Elsewhere Creator Excited For Game's TV Adaptation, Explains Its Origin
More and more TV shows are being adapted from video games, and more and more of them are setting the mold for what a good video game adaptation looks like, with Fallout, Twisted Metal, The Last of Us, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and more setting the standard, while also making it clear there is no one type of video game adaptation. One of the latest announcements is that Strange Scaffold's El Paso, Elsewhere is being adapted to a TV series by Di Bonaventura Pictures. This is a departure from most other adaptations, as El Paso, Elsewhere is a recently-released indie game, and not a AAA series that is firmly-established in the gaming community.
For Strange Scaffold's Xalavier Nelson Jr, it's an exciting time, "It makes a concrete case for how regardless of whether you're playing the game, or ultimately experiencing the adaptation, the universe, story, themes, and nuance of [El Paso, Elsewhere] really still ring true," Nelson Jr. told GameSpot.
El Paso, Elsewhere pays homage to familiar games from the past, like Max Payne, in a world of vampires in a neo-noir setting that focuses on tragedy and love story, following Black monster hunter James Savage in a haunted, dimension-shifting hotel.
