The Dark Tower series is Stephen King’s most extensive epic, which also makes it his most difficult story to adapt. Several attempts have been made over the years, including a forgettable 2017 movie and a scrapped Amazon Studios pilot. It was recently announced that Mike Flanagan will be the next creative to take a stab at The Dark Tower, and everyone has high hopes. This isn’t Flanagan’s first rodeo with the king of horror, having written and directed both Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep, the sequel to The Shining. The series spans seven books and Flanagan has confirmed that he intends to work on at least five seasons of TV before closing it all with two feature films.
In an interview with Deadline, Flanagan explained how he landed the rights to the adaptation, saying he worked on very extensive outlines for King to go over. He also described the project as his “Holy Grail,” and revealed that The Dark Tower is actually separate from his Amazon deal—meaning he’s free to shop the series around to different studios and networks.
He was just reading it. Some other loser wrote it.IGN's final preview was a bunch of shit. Kind of surprised to hear McCaffrey spouting such nonsense.
I watched the last 2 movies last year, and the previous ones a few years apart each, they play them on TV at Xmas time here. I never felt much interest in the concept of a bunch of kids doing magic by waving wands and, obviously, saving the world... Some people just feel neutral to Harry Potter, it's not bad but it's not great either. I'm more of a horror movie fan.The girlfriend & I just did a whole marathon of the movies she had never seen them before which blew my mind. Just seeing the world and the potential it'll be fun to play regardless of the drama behind one persons name. I'm not going to watch these reviewers because 90% of the are annoying.
They’re just salty that it will sell better than their favorite console exclusives like god of war ragnarok and starfield.All you people slegging HP obviously weren't at any midnight openings at fucking bookstores of all places that had queues that would put a Taylor Swift concert to shame, i got dragged to them by the ex and they where a sight to behold tbh and we've never seen anything like it before or after, the story may not of resonated with any of you degenerates ;-) but you can bet for kids of all ages and adults it did including this grumpy miserable aul cunt, looking forward to buying this for my kids who grew up on HP and absolutely love it
June iirc but still no footage shown. Going to be severely downgraded for sureWhere's the footage of the Switch version? is it coming later in the year? is it delayed?
It's so blurry we can't see it.Where's the footage of the Switch version? is it coming later in the year? is it delayed?
Nobody is slagging it off as far as I can see just pointing out that ‘greatest story ever told’ is pretty lol.All you people slegging HP obviously weren't at any midnight openings at fucking bookstores of all places that had queues that would put a Taylor Swift concert to shame, i got dragged to them by the ex and they where a sight to behold tbh and we've never seen anything like it before or after, the story may not of resonated with any of you degenerates ;-) but you can bet for kids of all ages and adults it did including this grumpy miserable aul cunt, looking forward to buying this for my kids who grew up on HP and absolutely love it

I need to read that, wonder if it has a good VO artist on audible.For me its the dark tower Saga from Stephen King.

there you go.
MkIceandFire gameplay looks so good but I'm not sure if it's performance or resolution mode. It says 4k 60 fps from PS5. If it's 60fps then it has to be performance and it looks so damn good even on YT.
My God, you people need to read some books, in what universe is Stephen King schlock ever even in the running for the best story every told. Try Dostoevsky, or something.For me its the dark tower Saga from Stephen King.

When I hear "greatest stories ever told" I think of "great hero journey's." I'm not thinking of anything by Tolstoy or Hemmingway as those are great pieces of literature. I don't care for HP in general, but its insane to think that HP doesn't qualify because it is a young adults novel and talk about "Butter Booze." Like, as cribbed and stolen as the story from Star Wars is, Luke's journey I absolutely consider one of the best stories in our collective consciousness. The same can even be true in reverse: INFINITE JEST is a good piece of literature. . .I think its a terrible story though.
. . .TLDR: most people know the sentiment IGN was going for and yes, to a LARGE number of people worldwide and for generations to come, HP will be one of the great stories in folks lives (particularly those who experienced it in real time - publishing wise).
Well of course that, but it's their new way of calling females, cunts and bitches, and getting away with it. They don't fool anyone.More like a word that doesnt exist. Its like children they come up with words too at the age of 3.
I mean if that's the bar, then yes. There's great litterateur and there's schlock, don't say schlock can't be enjoyable but never is it the greatest story ever told. Read Crime and Punishment and get enlightened
In the us only. I have yet to see such a person in real life hereWell of course that, but it's their new way of calling females, cunts and bitches, and getting away with it. They don't fool anyone.
'TERF' originated in the UK tho. And in the UK, they literally hold up signs saying to behead them like their some sort of Talitrans.i

It looked fine to me but I can't tell a difference after 40 fps.. it all seems smooth to me. Witcher 3 next gen update with RTGI being an exception.He's playing in Performance mode, but from what I can see the game is far from locking 60 fps, in fact it seems to stutter all the time, constantly, I find it super annoying. Not a good thing, TBH. But again, as he said that's not even the final build so it can improve a bit with the one day patch. And maybe a VRR compatible display can iron out these performance issues if frame drops are not too heavy.
But anyways it's a bit disappointing, I mean, it's a cross-gen game that will target 30 fps on last-gen machines after all, PS5 and Series X shouldn't have any trouble running it at perfect 60 fps, right?
Hide it inside a spoiler tag....please move that IGN preview to the bottom of the list.
there you go.

Pop ins are kind of bad from other videos too. I noticed sometimes in some areas there's issue with pop in, in some other areas its all fine.The pop in at 14:39 is crazy lol.

I still not know if King is a brilliant writer or he just writes a ton and sometimes hits the nerve. Hes insane at what speed he wrote books. Loved 1922I won't shit on Crime & Punishment, but many historically important/impactful novels like The Great Gatsby are dull as dishwater despite being incredibly well-written. The Catcher in the Rye, boy mopes about a bit and ruminates on life. Whoop-de-fuck. A lot of these books aren't regarded as timeless stories, just important books.
Stephen King is the greatest storyteller alive, he just tells stories about killer alien spiders disguised as clowns.

Liar, he keeps turning around!Flying 10 minutes STRAIGHT
One of the guys from preview said it wasn’t the final build he was playing on and then of course there’s going to be a day 1 patch. I haven’t got a PS5 yet so I haven’t experienced with my eyes what it has to offer. But are pop ins still a thing with this generation when it comes to a final product? I’d be playing on fidelity mode.Pop ins are kind of bad from other videos too. I noticed sometimes in some areas there's issue with pop in, in some other areas its all fine.
Here's hoping this atleast will be much less noticeable in the final build/day 1 patch.

Fextralife's preview criticizes the facial animation and poor voice acting which is apparent in all the trailers. Ironically, story and quests might not be the strong point of this game.
ftfy...No need to be elitist. I have read both Dark Tower and several Dostoevsky books and can appreciate both for what they are. In any case, people are likely referring to best fantasy story.
Best fantasy book? The wind in the willows.
What are you talking about? I've watched tons of his podcasts and reviews, and I've never heard him talk politics before.It must be the first time you hear the guy talking i guess...
He's referring to the "spouting nonsense" part, probably.What are you talking about? I've watched tons of his podcasts and reviews, and I've never heard him talk politics before.
