The opening moments are nearly identical
Though we got hints of this the last time we saw glimpses of the show, it seems likely that the opening scenes of The Last of Us TV show will be following the game very closely, even down to Tommy’s (Joel’s brother) pickup truck.
The famous (and brutal) initial sequence was filled with tons of its own explosions and surprises, but the show might amp things up. A plane can be seen crashing into the ground, which I don’t remember from the game. So, while the show will likely take its own liberties and have its own elements to add, it’s still seemingly aiming to pull that off with the game’s plot, pacing, and sets as guardrails.
