“You can’t keep putting all your money on the same bet. I feel like we probably overreacted to doing a spin-off for breaking bad [mas] I couldn’t be happier with the results,” said Vince Gilligan. “So I did El Camino and I’m very proud of that too. But I feel like you need to know when to leave the party, you don’t want to be the guy with the lamp on his head.”
“I have no plans right now to do anything else in this universe. I know I probably gave the same answer at the end of breaking bad,” continued the executive. “I need to prove to myself that I have something more in me. I’m not a one-trick pony, that’s what I hope.”

Breaking Bad Creator Wants GTA-style Game
Vince Gilligancreator of breaking bad, made several attempts to release a game about the series. As revealed in the podcast Inside The Gilliversethe producer even questioned which company was behind the GTA (Grand Theft Auto), to seek partnership.
“I’m not a big video game player, but it’s impossible not to know GTA,” he said before recalling the beginning of the series, when he thought of partnering with rockstar. “It still makes sense to me,” she continued.
Indeed, it would not be difficult to imagine the universe of breaking bad and Better Call Saul with missions similar to those of the blockbuster game. However, this was not the only attempt to turn the series into a game.
“A few attempts even made it to the market. We tried a virtual reality experience with the VR headset from PlayStationwe made a mobile game that lasted for a while,” he explained. vincethe writers struggled to create up to four different stories for one game.
“Doing this is very difficult. It takes years and millions of dollars, especially when trying something new with VR. It never bears fruit, which is a shame,” added the filmmaker.
