Joseph Michael Straczynski, a screenwriter who worked on numerous films, TV series and comic books, dreamed of correcting what he saw as the main problem with sci-fi series of the 1980s and 1990s – the lack of long-term planning.
He believed that writers and directors who were forced to work from episode to episode could not tell a truly big, complex, and consistent story.
Instead of making a series in which the characters explored a new planet or uncovered an anomaly in each episode, Straczynski decided to create an epic that focused on the relationships between characters and states.
His primary source of inspiration was literature: Asimov's Foundation series, Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Herbert's Dune, and other large-scale epics. And in 1994 his ambitious project was released – Babylon 5, which even after 30 years has an audience rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Some people say they prefer video games to any kind of TV show these days, and it's not hard to see why. Not only do games offer amazing stories and great graphics, but they also draw you in and make you feel like a part of the universe in which the events take place.
However, games take time, skill, and patience, and they're not for everyone. So, if you are interested in some of the plots of video games, but want to sit back and relax while watching them, here are 8 best adaptations that might be a perfect choice.
8. Sonic Prime (2022-...) – 60%
The fate of the world is once again in Sonic's hands as he must use his super speed to save the newly created multiverse. Although the latest installment of the famous hedgehog's journey didn't impress audiences too much, viewers were much more appreciative, giving the show an 86% approval rating.

You know what the most important thing about a good TV show is? The ability to watch it from start to finish. And that doesn't always happen – just ask fans of The Santa Clarita Diet, The Great, or The Oa.
Sci-fi fans on Reddit have compiled their list of shows that were killed off too soon.
1.Firefly, 2002
In 2002, one of the biggest cancellations in television history occurred: Fox canceled Joss Whedon's Firefly. It's hard to describe the shock and anger of the fan community.
The fans of the series tried to contact the network executives who had made such an awful decision with all the means at their disposal: petitions, letters, phone calls, and pickets at the studio doors.
It's no wonder that more than twenty years later, Firefly remains the biggest wound in the hearts of sci-fi fans.

After Microsoft’s closure of the Activision Blizzard merger last year, Xbox is now one of the biggest publishers in the gaming industry, a far cry from just 10 years ago, when it had a paltry five studios developing mostly Halo, Gears, and Forza games.
However, things have massively changed now, as the brand has 36 game development studios under its umbrella, as well as ownership of legendary IPs like Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Diablo, and many more. With names like these representing Xbox in the future, where does Halo -the trendsetter that kickstarted the platform in 2002 – fit in?
Xbox Still Finds Halo Important, But May Have Other Priorities Even though Halo Infinite accrued positive reviews, fans were divided on the campaign’s direction.

The Fallout series has been a huge success and proves once again how live-action adaptations of video games are not a bad idea after all. Following in the footsteps of Halo and The Last of Us, the TV show has become one of the best-performing releases on its respective platforms, and the showrunners have teased how the fun has just begun.
The Fallout TV Series has proven to be a huge success
While the series is getting praised for its excellent world-building and the great understanding of its source material, it is still missing a lot of elements, including Deathclaws, something which co-showrunner Graham Wagner has revealed the studio is looking forward to adding soon in the coming seasons.

Halo Infinite is the first open-world game in the series, and its development cycle reflects that. Taking 6 years to develop on 343’s brand-new Slipspace engine, Infinite ended up releasing in 2021, after a year-long delay from its initial planned release.
Going the open-world route was a big point of debate for the return of Master Chief, as well as Infinite‘s unconventional direction as a “spiritual reboot” built on a smaller scale compared to other open-world titles. However, here’s why that might have been the very element that saved the franchise.
Halo Infinite’s Open World Is Much Different To Other Games
No padded-out fetch quests in Halo Infinite‘s map, says Crocker.
Speaking with The Gamer, Halo Infinite associate director Paul Crocker explained that the development team consciously avoided mimicking modern trends or relying on comparisons to other titles:

Right now, Far Cry is currently one of Ubisoft’s longest-running franchises and is still getting new games every couple of years. Ubisoft tries to rediscover it; they try to give gamers a world that is worth exploring and characters worth interacting with. This legacy of having interesting characters, specifically an interesting villain, came from Far Cry 2.
Back then, it was the pinnacle of what was possible if developers invested time in some exciting new technologies. Dunia Engine was a one-of-a-kind game engine; Jackal was a one-of-a-kind villain; and that game’s world was unlike anything players had explored before. But its director explains that the inspiration for that came from a very unexpected place.

The “animals attack” subgenre is getting a new installment with the upcoming Savage Hunt, a survival thriller from director Roel Reiné (Halo) that Deadline has previewed today.
The site’s report – which brings us a first-look image, seen above – notes: “The production has told us they are currently using a real grizzly bear on location as part of the shoot.”
Here’s the synopsis for the upcoming Savage Hunt: “The story follows a vengeful tracker who is brought in to hunt down a large grizzly bear, which has begun attacking humans when a new local resort begins construction, disrupting the natural habitat of the wildlife.”
“We wanted to strive for as much realism as possible, showing how powerful nature can be, and the effects of man encroaching on an animal’s natural environment,” the producers said.
“Filming with a real bear in real locations with real actors is a very complex task.

The latest and sixth installment in the popular Halo series, Halo Infinite, was released on December 8, 2021, for Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Before the release of the game, there were many concerns over its gameplay as the previous game in the series, Halo 5: Guardians, was scrutinized for its story, writing, and ending. Fortunately, Halo Infinite was a success as the game was well-received by fans as well as critics.

With the ever-evolving video game landscape, the music and soundtracks have only gotten better and better. This year alone has given us Rise of the Ronin, as well as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, both of which have beautifully put together soundtracks that their respective composers poured their hearts and souls into.
Video game concerts are a sight to behold, and no one does it like Jason Michael Paul. Paul is the man behind the original Final Fantasy concerts, The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses shows, and much more. Yet his latest project aims to be one of gaming’s biggest and greatest shows yet. Heroes: A Video Game Symphony is all about the hero’s journey and is set to premiere this year.

“Paramount Global includes exceptional assets and we believe strongly in the future value creation potential of the Company,” Shari Redstone, the chair of Paramount’s board, said in a statement. “I have tremendous confidence in George, Chris, and Brian.

The overwhelming praise for Prime Video's Fallout has demonstrated that inspired and absurd video game shows can appeal to modern audiences.
While we're accustomed darker and more serious adaptations, Fallout proves there is room on the schedule for many thematic differences from the gaming world to move to TV. But not all attempts are equal.
Many video game adaptations come across as dark and grim as the show creators try to make their show seem edgy and aggressive, even if the game itself was not.
Sometimes, that backfires on them. But how did that become the prevailing tone in the first place?
We can look at Halo as an example. The Paramount+ series tried to bring a more serious note when all the fans really wanted to see was The Masterchief beat the covenant -- without ever seeing his face. Tying a leading man to the helmet, though, was a giveaway that change was ahead.

Fallout is the latest game franchise to leap from an interactive format to a linear and straightforward television series. Prime Video has another successful show, as it collaborated with Bethesda and passionate writers.
The secret to its success was that the showrunners behind it were already fans of the source material and knew how to authentically translate it without overdoing it. The writers spoke about the unique experience of doing a game adaptation and what the future holds.
Fallout Writers Almost Overdid It With Season 1
The writers of the Fallout show discussed how they balanced the Easter eggs in the first season.
It can be a daunting task to adapt a beloved franchise to a different format. Fortunately, Prime Video hired Jonah Nolan and his team of writers, who were more than equipped to take on the challenge. The team sat down with TheWrap and shared how the first season...

It has been a major few years for Epic Games, and its now-lead title is Fortnite, as it grows at a rapid pace with gamers around the world enjoying the chaotic battle royale mode that has been going for over 7 years, but no matter how big the game gets, gamers will always want more.
One of the many items that players hoped would make its way onto the popular game is the ability to play as characters like Samus Aran, Link, Zelda, and others that are only available on Nintendo consoles, and now, thanks to an interview, we know why they won’t ever make an appearance.

The Fallout TV series has been out for less than two weeks, and already it is garnering considerable attention from casual viewers and hardcore fans alike. The positive reception of the show is undeniable, and Amazon Prime has already taken its victory lap with the recent announcement that a second season has been greenlit.
Although much can be said for the creative talents of Jonathan Nolan and Todd Howard who worked their magic behind the camera, they cannot take all the credit. Several exceptional actors brought new characters of the franchise to the next level, and it was Moisés Arias who truly stole the show for many. His portrayal of Norm MacLean and the journey taken to discover the secret behind Vault 31 was essential in setting the tone and building tension.
Since the show’s debut, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Arias about his experience on Fallout.

Helldivers 2 was a successful attempt for PlayStation to dip its toes in the live service domain of gaming and is still collecting flowers from it. However, gamers believe it was only a holdback for the imminent return of Fallout 76.
Bethesda’s game was released almost 6 years ago but was never out of sight despite the age and other tough competition in the market. It has been hailed as the live service game of the decade beating out modern multiplayer titles like what Arrowhead Game Studios accomplished.
Helldivers 2 Has Been Dethroned by Fallout 76 Helldivers 2 is a massive success for Sony but is not close to the influence of the Fallout franchise.
While it is still a great game to behold with the promise of free post-launch content and the start of an expanding universe, it still doesn’t hold the candle next to the quality of Bethesda’s work. Fans have...

Helldivers 2 has proven to be a massive success for Sony Interactive Entertainment and their PS5 console. Released in 2024, the title is a cooperative third-person shooter developed by Arrowhead Games and published by Sony. It’s the direct sequel to Helldivers, a 2015 top-down shooter.
The game received tons of positive reviews from critics, praising its cooperative gameplay and sense of humor. The game also offers a variety of weapons and vehicles and builds several improvements on its predecessor.
Of course, it is not just a massive hit but a fun game to boot. The question inevitably emerged: “Will it come to Xbox?”. Such a question is still not within the realm of prediction, but recent rumors suggest the possibility may be on the horizon.

It’s undeniable. Fallout is an absolute hit, and the age of terrible TV adaptations and low expectations is behind us (Halo notwithstanding). After years of sub-standard, terrible adaptations like Resident Evil, Max Payne, and countless others, we gamers thought we were in for the long haul while waiting for good quality TV and movies. Well, that wait is certainly over.
First, we got The Last of Us, then the critically panned but as-equally fun The Super Mario Bros. Movie which was an incredible Mario experience, if a terrible film, and now we have the excellent Prime Video Fallout. And this wealth of good gaming content on the big screen means a few knock-on effects in the actual gaming space.

The Fallout series, based on the post-apocalyptic game franchise, is making fans fascinated with the fresh concept they brought on-screen. Without adapting the games’ characters and stories, the show has successfully inculcated the Fallout universe events in the show. With the show renewed for another season, fans are excited about what more would the show be serving next.

Jonathan Nolan’s Fallout adaptation is a success for many reasons, the least of all being its unique sense of identity separate from the games despite being true to the source material in every respect. It is this individuality of the Amazon original series that allows some room for creative liberty while Nolan and his writers’ room build a megalomaniacal post-apocalyptic world spread over the vast wasteland of America.
Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean in Fallout [Credit: Amazon MGM Studios]Before veteran gamers and inexperienced fans flock to Amazon to tout their opinion on the adaptation, it might be wise to learn about the true extent of what Nolan has in store for his viewers. A Reddit fan theory that has recently been making the rounds might just shock some Fallout loyalists into a state of awe for its M.

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem grabbed the overall No. 1 spot for the week (it premiered March 21), racking up 1.37 billion minutes over its first four days.

A few months back, there were strong rumors about the release of Xbox-exclusive games on other platforms, such as the PS5. The launch of Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, and other first-party titles on the Sony console confirmed this.
However, rumors are circulating that Starfield and Elder Scrolls: Blade will eventually also come to PlayStation 5. A well-known gaming insider on X/Twitter, who even disclosed the job offer on LinkedIn, made this discovery and added that this idea of making the game multiplatform existed before the Microsoft acquisition.

The original, intriguing, and thrilling film about aliens stranded on Earth came From the fallout of a failed attempt to get a movie based on the Halo videogame franchise off the ground. The film was nominated for 4 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, legitimizing Blomkamp as an innovative storyteller.

The Xbox brand is in a confusing spot at the moment. With so many Xbox exclusives like Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves moving to PlayStation, there are few titles left that truly market themselves as Microsoft’s exclusive games.
However, there are quite a few titles that are yet to make their way to more platforms. From simulators to story-driven games, these are some of the best Xbox exclusives that should come to PlayStation at some point in the future.

Some of them are so obscure, that it feels like nobody other than the developers of the game themselves and a few superfans would get them. For example, the whiteboard outside of a terminal.

After starting out as a post-apocalyptic video game series, “Fallout” is finally stepping out of the vault and onto TV screens.
From Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the masterminds behind HBO’s “Westworld,” Prime Video’s “Fallout” takes viewers back to the 1960s before blowing things up — literally. A jaw-dropping nuclear explosion, rivaling the skull-rattling blast seen in Nolan’s brother Christopher’s best picture winner “Oppenheimer,” kicks off the series, before then jumping over 200 years into the future. The majority of the show takes place in a retro-futuristic wasteland full of underground vault dwellers, psychotic bandits and irradiated monsters.
“Fallout” started as a role-playing computer game in 1997, which became popular enough to spawn a sequel a year later. The franchise really caught on with 2008’s “Fallout 3” when video game developer Bethesda — behind such hits as the “Elder Scrolls” fantasy games, and most recently sci-fi title “Starfield” — acquired the rights.

A decade into her solo career, Beyoncé effectively evaded irrelevancy by wresting control of her own narrative. After her 2011 album 4 failed to produce a Top 10 hit—to date, her only album to do so—the singer began dropping albums without any pre-release promotion, sidestepping chart expectations and reimagining the traditional pop album release strategy. Since then, she’s done few interviews and often glides into awards shows donning dark shades and a straight face, shrewdly creating a superstar mystique in the vein of Michael Jackson and Prince.
That approach, thankfully, has been accompanied by some of Beyoncé’s most creative, political, and inspired work to date. Her 2016 visual album Lemonade drew on her personal experiences as a Black woman to comment on feminism and racism in the Me Too and Black Lives Matter era, while its follow-up, 2022’s Renaissance, kept the focus squarely on the music, inspired by and dedicated...

Many hardcore gamers were worried about the Fallout adaptation. It didn’t help that the first season of Halo was an unmitigated disaster. However, I am here to tell you that Fallout is big, bold, and badass. Simply put, Fallout makes anything The Boys have done look like child’s play.
Led by a totally rad and wicked performance from Walter Goggins, Fallout has everything you could want in a series. The new Prime Video series has some intense and hair-raising action, a well-rounded and intriguing mystery, and a dark sense of humor that is unparalleled in today’s standard television fare.
This Fallout straight rips.

The big and small screens are stuffed full of post-apocalyptic adventures, yet despite that cluttered landscape, few shows and films stick out to offer something unique for viewers. However, in “Fallout” for Prime Video, a thrilling adaptation of the beloved video game series, creators Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner present an off-kilter and fascinating look at humanity in the 23rd century.
“Fallout” begins at the end. The eight-episode series opens in picturesque America sometime in the future. It has reverted to the texture of a glossier post-racial 1955. Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins), an actor known for starring in Westerns, is the entertainment at a children’s party for an affluent family. As he packs his belongings, his young daughter Janey (Teagan Meredith) points outward toward the Los Angeles skyline just as a nuclear bomb explodes on the horizon. The bombing marks the end of the world we are accustomed to, but...
