Skully Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 You see many movies that poorly attempt to create a game based upon themselves, especially from Disney. They are pretty much always garbage. But have you ever thought of it from the other point of view? There are many great games with equally good stroylines that could be made into such great films. You guys ever thought about this? I'd love them to make a series of Elder Scrolls films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiriyama Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I think MGS4 would make a good movie. Heck its already one pretty much. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maze Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Meh. When a game hits the big screen, it usually does poorly, as if you make a movie into a game, it usually does poorly(except Goldeneye, that was good). Movies and games just don't mix in my opinion.

Kiriyama Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 You do know, that when it comes to movies and such, its a matter of opinion? Anyway, the Resi films were decent imo. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodredsword Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'd love them to make a series of Elder Scrolls films. What gaming fanatic wouldn't...but I can pretty much guarantee that the movies would be horribly cheesy, with bad dialouge and FX. (Unless of course it was made by a director with a name :P) That's just really now it works...people adapt things likes games and books into movies just to make a quick buck.

ThurinEthir Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Lara Croft, hm. Movie-based games usually suck, and the opposite would most likely be true. Other than Lord of the Rings, books, movies and games should mainly stay separate. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

indy500fan Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I was about to say the Oblivion storyline is too short to make a movie out of, but then I realized while a 15 hour main quest in a game is short it could make a very long movie. I'd be more interested in a F3 movie, but which ending would they give? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenticular_J Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 (except Goldeneye, that was good). ... Games seem hard to make into movies. Harder than books. I mean, they're already animated, and many of them are based on real events, or real things with a twist (How many people would pay to see a madden nfl movie, or a motorstorm one? :P). But they can be made. The Halo movie, thus far, actually looks like it might be pretty good. A Grand Theft Auto movie would probably be cool, but not based on any of the games. I think movie studios creating videogames and game studios creating movies would be a cool deal. Because a lot of games could have movies made that only relate to them - for example, the Halo series had a [cabbage] load of books that sold pretty good (and were alright reads). Replace the word "books" with "feature presentations". Then, movies -> games, just no, for even more reasons. Movies are even less able to be all crazy and [cabbage]. And a lot of the things they're based on are already games. Like, a Mirror's Edge movie would be kinda cool, because it's not realistic at all. Band of Brothers game? Oh, wait.

dragoonson Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I always played L4D like a movie.You know,helpless girl goes to another helpless girl and,what do you know,instead of a lesbian scene,you get a bunch of other guys screaming curses at you for why you did that.And then I answer "Didn't you want a lesbian scene?" so i herd u liek devarts?If you look at me and feel offended by my 666-ism,think.I could be just as offended by your "cross".[hide=This's why I'm hot]The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".Amen, brother :lol:Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)amen Bruder!

Star_Fox Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 i always found high school musical and harry potter to be the biggest piece of crap to enter the gaming market. imo, they should stick to movies so it doesn't get a bad reputation for creating poorly designed games.

foolgool Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 If you could keep Uwe Boll out of the way, then games to movies aren't quite a bad idea. That is only if there is a strong plot (Like Elder Scrolls), and a premise that doesn't need millions to be spent in special effects. The code in my sig should say 1032 not 0132.

Giordano Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Only with the right devoted writer, director, and producer could this be done correctly. Make some guy only in it for the money WILL screw it all up before they even started filming. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Returned3 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I would pay big to see a Half life movie, but something in the pit of my gut tells me that it would not be as successful as it's game counterpart. 00:00:0500:00:0400:00:0300:00:0200:00:0100:00:00 Break the Walls down!

Lenticular_J Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Eh, I reckon videogames and movies and most entertainment will start getting more intertwined - in a good way - by the time our generation gets into our thirties and so.

Kiriyama Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Yeah, but who says that the Good Ending would be the best? Honestly, they'd need to have a version for every ending, with enough changes between them in order to prevent us from feeling ripped off. Ahwell, maybe when there comes the day that we can vote for things in movies while watching it. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
