Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 and Resident Evil prove that game worlds, not characters, make the best adaptations
Recent adaptations like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 and the Resident Evil movie demonstrate that focusing on game worlds rather than exact character retellings leads to greater success. By building new stories within established universes like Night City and Raccoon City, these projects retain the spirit of the source material while offering fresh narratives. This approach is proving more effective than direct rehashes, as seen with the critical failure of Silent Hill 2's film adaptation.
