There is a view by some that marketing exists to hype existing fans, and while it can be that, marketing = make sales.
GTA VI is already in all of our bubbles. Their marketing focus is outside our bubble to convince non and lapsed gamers that it is an unmissable cultural event.

Odd review embargo timing aside, for whatever reason, I was not expecting Silent Hill: Townfall to get rave reviews?
I was hopeful, but wasn't too sure from what we'd seen so far. Very pleased to see it!

People are being exceptionally weird about the Resident Evil film! What am I meant to say to this? 😂
Look, I deeply love RE games - just play the games, y'all. A direct adaptation would be shit. It just wouldn't translate well, or be just pure fan service guff. It'd be shite.

I saw Resident Evil last night!
This is how to tackle video game adaptations, imo - to emulate the feel, vibe, or themes. If you're looking for a true RE adaptation, this isn't it, but just play the games? This captures the *feel* so well I wanted to go play an RE game.
