Queer enclosure in the cinematic adaptation of The Last ofUs

Games are 'at the crossroads', says DiGRA.For game studies, as Brendan Keogh reminds us, that crossroads has transmedial and intermedial dimensions: 'Now, what is important is that we understand the context of videogames . . .-how they are similar to other media forms, how they deviate ' (2018, 196.Emphasis in the original).Cinematic videogame adaptation offers a rich site for increasing our understanding of media forms through critical comparison, especially at a time when adaptation is at an upward trajectory both commercially and critically.

Abstract

Games are 'at the crossroads', says DiGRA.For game studies, as Brendan Keogh reminds us, that crossroads has transmedial and intermedial dimensions: 'Now, what is important is that we understand the context of videogames . . .-how they are similar to other media forms, how they deviate ' (2018, 196.Emphasis in the original).Cinematic videogame adaptation offers a rich site for increasing our understanding of media forms through critical comparison, especially at a time when adaptation is at an upward trajectory both commercially and critically.
