6 Video Game Franchises That Would Make AMAZING TV Shows

6. Deus Ex

The rise of Smart technologies over the course of the last decade shows no signs of slowing down, with people eagerly anticipating the next device from the likes of Apple or Google. And with these devices getting ever smaller and more powerful, how long is it before someone releases a device that augments the human body?

A more poignant question would be, is this a good idea? Is a world where humans use technology in such an intense way one we would really want to live in?

It is in asking these questions where a Deus Ex universe could really shine.

Deus Ex could be set in or around the time of Human Revolution or Mankind Divided, with a fresh set of characters involved in plots of political intrigue, corporate rivalry and the effects of how such augmentations would impact personal relationships between characters in a world seemingly gone mad.

The premise and the world laid out in the video games could form the basis for a Blade Runner-style show that provides interesting set pieces, characters with strong and interesting motivations, but also an interesting piece of social commentary on where the world is heading.

Not to mention, the overarching effects and moral implications of what a trans-humanist society would be like.
