Owlcat Games has announced The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a Mass Effect-inspired narrative-driven action role-playing game set in the universe of the sci-fi TV series of the same name.
I personally think that this is a rare case where both the books and the TV series are equally good. The Expanse is both my favorite TV series and my favorite book series. What did you like better about the books?
I prefer literary descriptions, they can go into far more detail than a show can because who's going to tell an author "okay that's enough, next scene"
Don't get me wrong, I loved the show. Very unfortunate how things ended with THAT one actor though...
They're the same IP, but they aren't the same continuity. And I wouldn't be surprised if they have the license for the show specifically and not the books.
Look at it this way, if a new Witcher game was being announced, how big of a difference would it make for it to be a spinoff of the existing games, a new adaptation of the books, or a an adaptation of the Netflix show?
