[QUOTE="Admin, post: 56725, member: 1"] Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan has revealed that he once raised the idea of a Grand Theft Auto-style video game adaptation of his hit series. As reported by [URL='https://www.dualshockers.com/a-breaking-bad-game-was-once-pitched-by-creator-vince-gilligan/']Dualshockers[/URL], Gilligan said during the latest episode of the [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVpGPX_Lj64&t=3069s&ab_channel=MusicGearNetwork']Inside the Gilliverse[/URL] podcast that several ideas for Breaking Bad video games have come and gone over the years, also including a PlayStation VR experience. "I'm not much of a video game player but how can you not know Grand Theft Auto?" he said. "I remember saying to the two gentleman who said yes originally to Breaking Bad, I said 'who owns Grand Theft Auto, can't you have like a module, can there be like a Breaking Bad [adaptation]?' "It still makes sense to me," Gilligan continued. "That never came to fruition. There have been quite a few attempts at video games. Some of them kinda sort of made it to market. We tried to do a VR experience with the Sony PlayStation VR headset. We did a mobile game that lasted for a little while." That game was called Breaking Bad: Criminal Elements, a story-driven base builder where players rise up the ranks of their own drug empire, but it was shut down just a year after it was released in September 2020. Gilligan went on to explain that he and the other people behind Breaking Bad didn't want to release a bad game that was only attractive for being associated with the series, joking that they didn't want to produce something similar to [URL='https://www.ign.com/videos/why-did-atari-bury-et-the-video-game-in-a-new-mexico-landfill']the infamous E.T. Atari game[/URL]. A Breaking Bad game adaptation is therefore unlikely to see the light of day. "We just don't have enough bandwidth usually to make it work," Gilligan said.
