Hey guys.
WU TANG has made us realize how bad and mediocre game-based movies are in general. Do you think it's the game's fault because its content is not suitable for a movie. Or is it really that directors, producers and actors make the movie so ugly that we don't want to even hear about the game anymore?
Anyway, if you could get any game made into a movie, which one would it be?
My personal favorite, The Darkness. I had never imagined how good mobsters-demons combination would be until I played this game.
Cheers
Which game would you like to get turned to a movie?
it's high time we see a Street Fighter: The Movie movie
" it's high time we see a Street Fighter: The Movie movie "This Ain't No Game!
This Shit Is Real!
I would love to see a Shadow of the Colossus movie but ONLY AND ONLY IF the make it a semi-silent film. The main character must talk for no longer than 3 minutes total in the whole thing. I want awesome music and confrontation after confrontation with giant colossi. Other characters like the disembodied voice may talk more but not much. I want pure action, an epic musical score, crazy good visuals and a good conveying of the moral dilemma of murdering creatures to save a loved one. I don't want Hollywood, I want something different.

I think a Fallout movie could be pretty good.
IMO, games don't make good movies because the directors and writers miss the core of what would make a game adapt into a movie. It goes beyond story and setting. Its more in-line with personal connection to that world and how we feel while exploring it. They aren't gamers, so its lost to them. Just like most comic movies.
If they were to do it right, I would want to see Bioshock. But that wont happen. The movie will be generic green scene crap. Because they will rely too heavily on the wrong visuals, to appeal to a certain crowd. The game has those visuals. But its how we interact with them that makes us play. They have to convey that feeling in a manner we know how to absorb. That works with how we have absorbed it in the past. Not copy what they think that is and tell us how to feel. While trying to conjure up memories of 300 and Watchmen.
No easy feet, but just my opinion on the matter. Instead of racing through a seemly awesome environment, as a sort of badass. They should dwell in it and give us an anti-hero. Someone to get beat up by the world, not over run it with wrath.
Thats what we get in games, we get pushed around and dominated. Until we rise up and conquer. It's to early in the evolution to give us what we think we want. We don't what we want. You have to build up to it. Just like in actual games. We see it everyday, games becoming more like film. That wasn't done over night.
Game movies need to be less about adapting and more about the experience of playing that story. Because even the average FPS nutwit may not know it, but they will still feel it when they enter the theater. And until the stop trying to make game movies, they wont be worth shit.
Maybe its a beginning, to making great movies? Game cut-scenes have certainly evolved into something far greater then their beginnings.
Do you think Hollywood will get it right this time or eventually? Have the right people really been trying all that hard?
" Fucking naysayers, let's make a movie about them. Or Mass Effect, that would be cool. Red Dead Redemption directed by Clint Eastwood would be the sweep. "Or one could watch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly for the millionth time.
But a ME movie would be pretty awesome, though I fear as a movie people would call it a Star Trek derivative. It's pretty similar in style. A super duper space captain explores the galaxy leading a diverse cast of humanoid aliens and humans.
" @Claude said:ME is much deeper than that. The galaxy they have created in Mass Effect is of great effect and emotion. I like the pseudo science they throw down my throat. The characters and races seem real. The gameplay still needs to grow, but as a story, good stuff." Fucking naysayers, let's make a movie about them. Or Mass Effect, that would be cool.

Now, as for Red Dead... It must be more original than what was given in-game. But I'm always a sucker for a good western.
kingdom hearts i would watch even if it was terrible.
marvel vs capcom. i would love to see them try to make a coherent plot over that
castlevania. weather they take it seriously or campy, i could go for some vamp slaying
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
But I think I would rather have it based more around the book/tale. (The Outsider).
If the game is story focused and/or has a good story, they should not make a movie, because that's what movies are good at, and if the game already did it well there's no point. Mass Effect would be a bad movie. Bioshock would be a bad movie. Half-Life would be a bad movie.
I am fully in support of a Pac Man or Tetris movie.
No game at all. They always turn out shit, regardless of the source material. I like my games gamey and my movies movey.
The Dig could also make a nice sci-fi movie and was originally even planet to be one.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis would have certainly made a much better movie then the Indy4 we got.
But in general games should really stay games. Especially today, games are basically by default already all cinematic anyway, so that converting them into a movie wouldn't really add all that much and it is to easy to lose stuff in the translation.

My choice would be Red Ninja: End of Honor. Not a particularly good game with a completely forgettable plot, but that means the producers could then do whatever they want with the property and not be restricted by the idea that they are snubbing the source material. Plus, then we get to see the sexy red ninja costume.
Why are people saying Red Dead Redemption? It's basically just The Good The Bad and The Ugly: The Game. Making a movie would make it The Good The Bad and The Ugly: The Movie.
