Abstract(s)
Este documento analisa o jogo The Last of Us (2013) e adaptação televisiva homónima
(2023), para compreender a metodologia utilizada pelos criadores para a transportação
do material de um meio para outro. A análise tem como finalidade identificar os
componentes beneficiais para uma adaptação bem-sucedida ou para uma melhor
narrativa em videojogos.
É feito inicialmente um estudo nos campos teóricos do game design, das adaptações e
da história das adaptações de videojogos, para um melhor entendimento destes temas e
fatores que venham a influenciar a analise. No game design discute-se as várias
definições de jogo e de game design, as tarefas incluídas no campo e as discussões sobre
o lugar da narrativa nos videojogos. A adaptação faz uma revisão sobre as teorias do
campo no cinema e literatura, identificando os fatores principais que influenciam a
produção de adaptações. Por último, o capítulo da adaptação dos videojogos, recorda
este tipo de obras no meio ao longo do tempo e os diferentes fatores que vêm a
influenciá-las metodologicamente.
Posteriormente, é iniciada a análise do jogo e adaptação The Last of Us, utilizando a
fidelidade como critério principal de avaliação. A análise faz uma comparação entre os
diversos aspetos destas obras como a narrativa, personagens, cenários, som e
mecânicas, de modo a identificar alterações e semelhanças entre os dois materiais.
Por fim, é concluído que a adaptação de The Last of Us é um exemplo de como o
equilíbrio entre a fidelidade ao material original e a introdução de novos elementos
podem produzir uma obra de alta qualidade. Para além disso, a análise destaca a
importância da adaptação como uma obra própria com ligações a outros textos, e não
como uma cópia de algo.

The analysis aims to identify the beneficial components for a successful adaptation or for a better narrative in video games. Initially, a study is conducted in the theoretical fields of game design, adaptations, and the history of video game adaptations for a better understanding of these themes and factors that may influence the analysis. In game design, various definitions of games and game design, the tasks included in the field, and discussions about the place of narrative in video games are discussed. The adaptation reviews the theories in the field of cinema and literature, identifying the main factors that influence the production of adaptations. Finally, the chapter on video game adaptations recalls this type of work in the medium over time and the different factors that methodologically influence them. Subsequently, the analysis of the game and the adaptation The Last of Us begins, using fidelity as the main evaluation criterion. The analysis compares various aspects of these works, such as narrative, characters, scenarios, sound, and mechanics, to identify changes and similarities between the two materials. Finally, it is concluded that the adaptation of The Last of Us is an example of how the balance between fidelity to the original material and the introduction of new elements can produce a high-quality work. Furthermore, the analysis highlights the importance of adaptation as a work in its own right with links to other texts, and not as a copy of something.
