It still seems to be going thcdisesteemful with the production, but audiences can already tell that the gaming industry is experienceing apprehensive about which projects can be successfilledy altered into live action and which need to stay wilean the medium of video games. Not everyleang can be The Last of Us, but they might be able to be some benevolent of fun romp enjoy Sonic.
