Looks amazing!

Love LDR but I'm a gamer and I haven't even heard of half of those games :confused:
I'm guessing a few of them are Japanese/Chinese/Korean games given the LDR teams were from all over, so they'll have games that might not have been common in the West or might not have been big but had a good following..
I think I recognise all but 3 of the named titles, and of those I think 2 are probably Japanese.

Given how good the LDR stuff was I'm looking forward to this.
 
One question… whats LDR?

This looks interesting, never thought I’d see Unreal Tournament in this form but I’m in!
Love, Death and Robots

UT is definitely one of the ones I'm looking forward to, UT actually has some cool characters. I would be interested in the Warhammer one but it's about Mr Vanilla Titus, the most bland of the bland Ultramarines. Give me a Ragnus Blackmane, give me an Azrael, hell give me a Sigismund episode before that. If it has to be video games then a Blood Ravens episode would have been amazing.

Love. Death and Robots as Shami says, it's an anthology series on Netflix (IIRC 3 seasons), all the episodes are standalone stories (although there are I think two episodes with the same characters), and they vary in animation style, story type, look, genre etc. You can go from horror, to humour and everything else.
Literally the only common thing is that every episode relates to Love, Death or Robots, sometimes all three. It has some really great episodes, I don't think there was one that I've not enjoyed, but favourites are probably Sonnies' Edge (based on a Peter F Hamilton short*), Three Robots, Secret War, Automated Customer Service, Bad Travelling and Jibaro.

If you've got netflix it's definitely worth looking at it, as the episodes range from about 15-45 minutes and if you don't like one just skip forward and you'll almost certainly come to some you enjoy


*The moment I started watching it and realised what it was there may have been a little squeal of joy, I'd been waiting for 20+ years for something of his to be put on screen, and always said the only way to do it justice was probably an "adult orientated" (not porn) animation, and expected it to be an anime series or something if it ever happened as for a very long time Western animation was pretty much always either kids, or Family Guy/Futurama at most.

Given the success the success of The Peripheral and Cyberpunk 2077, you would have thought that a series based on PFH’s Greg Mandel trilogy would be in the offing by now.

On the other hand, I’d rather it not happen than someone make a total soup sandwich of it as was the case with Altered Carbon.
 
Rather looking forward to this.

Concord makes me think of Eve but presume it's that recent failed game.
 
Thanks guys, I would never have guessed.

A quick google returned ‘long distance girlfriend’, thought that can’t be right..

There so many acronyms these days you can be forgiven to not knowing cause the LDR series without watching it the name alone is really obscure. I am not ashamed to say I constantly look up acronyms on the net and quite often you get a dozen or more alternative meanings. All good. :)
