Which game do you think could make a great movie, better than any of the other failures? I think that HALO could make an awesome movie.
-
(waits for Freespace!!!111oneoneone answer....)
Actually, i can;t think of any. Mainly because a) all videogame movies turn out awful and b) game stories are largely dependent on the players interaction - and that can be hard to translte to a screenplay IMO.
-
*waits for Mortal Kombat 3*
-
Op Flashpoint might, might make a good film, at a pinch.
-
Halo. Or rather, one of the books.
-
Minefield..
Seriously, can't think of any without lots of stuffing.
-
Well back to my HALO thought. Yes, I think a series based off the books would be pretty sweet, especially the Fall of Reach, I loved that book.
-
hehehehehe
Hostile Waters! :D
-
Ja, and First Strike as the sequel of course. Both of them felt very movie IMO.

With Patrick Stewart as...someone.
How would DX work, though, Turnsky? They'd have to record multiple endings. :P
-
Actually, if you based it around when Ransom was alive and fighting in the war against the old guard, that would be cool ;)
And Patrick could be the General ;)

That'd be incredibly ****ing witty if we were discussing movies rather than games
-
i was impressed by Resident evil movie. the second is coming in may. i am defenetly gonna see it
-
Anachronox was actually turned into a machinima movie.
-
Any of Blizzard's main game series (WarCraft, StarCraft and Diablo). :nervous:
-
Quake 3, for sure
-
Starcraft could make a good movie, I think. Even if you chop away all the pretty graphics and good gameplay, there's still a pretty solid storyline behind it and the expansion that can hold it's own. Something like a hybrid between the original starwars trilogy and starship troopers I would imagine, only no Fuzzy Bears (which would be a good thing).
Pretty much any Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts adventure game would work, too. Well, maybe not Grim Fandango since it would be nigh impossible to make a world of nothing but skeletons seem plausible outside of cartoonish graphics, but the Monkey Island series (almost been done already, Pirates of the Carribean rips off these games in so many ways it's not funny... except it *was* funny and very enjoyable too :D) and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis would be good for action/comedy, and Full Throttle would own as a bit more serious movie. Too bad about Fandango though, since that's the best game of them all in my opinion.
-
StarCraft's story is legendary, period. It would beat the crap out of any sci-fi movie ever made or ever to be made.
-
Gothic 2 would be pretty good as a movie, though it'd probably take up more DVD's than Lord of the Rings ;)

or converge all into one.;)
-
Planescape: Torment.
As a Macro-series.
Failing that, maybe Rise of the Shadowhand expansion for Dark Reign.
-
Street Fighter!
Oh wait....
-
Crimson Skies! Oh wait, we're getting Sky Captain in the World of Tomorrow (or whatever).
Starlancer could be a good movie if it didn't turn into another Wing Commander.
Sam and Max could be a good movie.
Jedi Knight or Jedi Outcast. ;)
Knights of the Old Republic SHOULD be the next Star Wars movie, damnit!
Um.... System Shock 2 could be a good movie--if it weren't screwed up.
Um... I'll go with System Shock 2.

If this gets through I'll be amazed. :nod:
-
Super Mario Brothers
:)
-
They already made a move out of that.
-
realy, have you seen it, I know it says super mario brothers on it but I don't remembering it haveing the slightest thing to do with the game
-
Yoshi was in it.
-
Wasn't he the orange dinorsaur thing if I remember correctly?

Starcraft ( be it story or visuals ) is a complete rip off from warhammer 40000. Not surprising, since Warcraft was a complete rip off from warhammer fantasy battles :doubt:.
So I'd say: Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat would own.
Or Alone in the Dark. Or Dark Earth.
-
you seem to like games with a theim of darkness don't you
-
Freespace 1 and 2!!!
Come on...who wouldn't want to see 2 Kilometer long starships duking it out with thousands of fighters in-between??! Plus the lucifer will just kick @ss!!!!
-
Definitely HALO. I'd love that. :)
-
HALO already has movies... (www.redvsblue.com) so :P
-
You could maybe do something with the System Shock series. There's enough decent material between the two games I think, and System Shock 2 is of course the scariest thing - ever -.

:yes: I honestly wouldn't mind at all trading in Episode 3 for it.
-
Max Payne. It's virtually a movie anyway.
-
I agree, Knights of the Old Republic SHOULD be a movie. Howver Halo is a very good concept for a film. So is Half Life. But.... There is one... It was destined to be a movie, although it was shelved because it would cost too much to make... Invisioned by Steven Spielberg himself. And then made into a AWESOME game!

Surely the obvious choice is The Movies
-

methinks you should go check the release dates on both games...
-
Warhammer was around long before computer games were made based on it, which is what I think he was referring to. That said, Starcraft would still own as a movie, whether the concept is a ripoff or not, it's story is still more than good enough to support a couple of hours of screentime no problem.
-
tetris
-
whatever happened to the Doom movie, BTW? I read somewhere it was optioned by a production company, but only under the provision that it entered pre-production within a year or thereabouts.......which would be expiring soon.
EDIT:

So, no then (time's expired)
-
Half-life! Come on people..Half-life!
Or...Homeworld...or Homeworld 2...
*looks through his stack of games*
...Diablo...Diablo 2...Shogo M.A.D. ....Aliens Versus Pred...oh wait...it's already being made :D
-

wasn't that a book or a comic before it became a game?
carmageddon'd make a good movie, but it's based on a movie (death race 2000).
Zelda would make a good movie too.

Yes, someone I know is on the CG team for it, and he's got the Predator, lucky b*stard :(

Neverwinter Nights

Arkanoid :nervous:

Tetris

Tetris
But seriously folks: Freespace 2 or System Shock 2. System Shock 2 would just kick so much ASS!
-
Oh how could I forget. Bubble Bobble. Ooh ooh. Lemmings!
But seriously.
Yeah AVP was a book first, then made into a Comic Book series. Or viceversa. Dont remember. Anyway, they were good, and I heard the guys who are making it are all AVP nuts, some my fingers are crossed. I just dont want another Lara Croft crap or Aliens 4. *shudder* tho the director did direct Resident Evil wasnt it? And I didn't like it very much, however it was filmed rather well, and every director has a bad day. So I'll give him another chance. Gore Verbinski did The Mexican after all. And then he did the Ring AND Pirates of the Carribean.
As for a game to movie. Hmm... Theres been no decent movie made of a FPS really. So either Half Life or Halo. I wouldn't want to see Metal Gear Solid be made into a movie though. It would get raped. Seriously raped. They'd lower the violence to the market audience, get Tom Cruise to be Solid, give him a mullet and pritty much redo the whole mission impossible spiel. Let alot make an entire new story that makes no sense and keep it marketable so they can make more nonsense sequels. bah.
I say make a movie about US. The HLP. We got a script too. Dont we UT? :D

AvP was comic books first. My set is from the first run of the first AvP series, with ish 0 signed by one of the artists on the cover. :)
Not quite as good as Grendel (any of them) but still pretty damned good. :)
