FX has ordered a series adaptation of Ubisoft’s “Far Cry” video games from Noah Hawley and Rob Mac.

In addition to co-creating the series, Mac (formerly McElhenney) will also star. The series will stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally. While exact plot details are being kept under wraps, the series will follow an anthology format like the games and feature a different cast and setting each season.

I’m pretty sure if Noah Hawley did a documentary on grain silos, it would be dramatic and riveting.

    Please, no one tell Hollywood about No Man’s Sky, Dwarf Fortess, Portal or Subnautica.

    I assume there is a 99% chance of a Cyberpunk 2077 and/or Red Dead Redemption movie/series in the next 5 years.

    MMOs are probably safe after the Warcraft movie. Thanks for taking that one, WoW players.

    I dunno, Far Cry actually feels like a reasonable fit for a show anyway compared to most games.

    Theyre not really open to impactful decisions beyond the endings (which end up feeling samey), and most of the appeal comes from the exploration anyway.

    An anthology about people being dumped into horrible survival situations writes itself anyway. So long as the creative director isn't a nut job portraying the religious cult leader as being in the right...

    I can't believe he changed his last name to Mac. 🤦‍♂️

    Which far cry though, isn’t every game different?

    They're all the same general concept... just different characters. Guy ends up somewhere, reluctantly becomes a hero and saves the area from the bad guys by killing everything that moves.

    I enjoyed the first couple games as the mechanics evolved, but after awhile they started feeling kinda stale. (at least in my opinion.)

    First was the best. Downhill from there. Just my opinion, really. The follow ups just used the name and not the premise.

    The exception being Blood Dragon, far and away the best one

    I have a bad feeling about this.
