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!

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 .


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.

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)

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.

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. :)
