Which game should be made into a movie?

Quigs Snr · 18-11-2002 2:32pm

Mafia, Planetscape Torment, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Final Fantasy 7, although they kind of did this one with the FF Movie what with Planet Life Forces and what not. I'd still like to see FF7 the movie.

I'd rather see FF7 the mini series since a film would be far to short for FF7 epic story. Don't think most ignorant twats that inhabit this world would get it though. It's their loss. And yours Praetorian. Youre missing out if you don't play this game.

AvP - being made into one by Fox atm isn't it?

Cannon Fodder tbh tbh, with full on gore and pop-guns. And Skidoos.

Elite.

Half-Life would kick arse tbh.

Mechwarrior saga.

Big Fúck-off Whirr-Whirr-Stomp-Stomp mechs rampaging through villages crushing pe0ns beneath their 2 tonne feet while dodging hurtling volleys of LRMs and casting searing beams of parallel light into the cockpit of that wánker that just shot out your left arm with the Gauss cannon on it......

Silent Hill!

The doctor prescribes a heavy dose of Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory and Gundam 08th MS Squadron for your ailment, young man.

All i have to say on this is the following:

Oooh Oohh, its your turn to hit me! lol

tman · 20-11-2002 12:21pm

max payne could be good, or maybe silent hill...

oh yeah, i reckon the plot (?) of gta3 is pretty close to that of payback.

s8n · 20-11-2002 12:42pm

metal gear solid would be a class movie...kinda like a darker james bond....I think grand theft auto or return to castle wolfenstein would'nt be half bad either

In February we had rumors going on about a GTA movie. Well now Rockstar have confirmed they are interested in making a GTA movie, but they're not looking for the blockbuster.

Apparently Sam Houser, president of Rockstar Games, has been going around and trying to get people interested in making a GTA movie for 5 years. Noone even blinked. Then after GTA3, producers started calling in, wanting to make one, and discussing ideas.

Rockstar knew that if they wanted to make a movie it would be more of a personal movie, with their touch. They clearly knew that they don't want to have a blockbuster. In their own words: "A bad movie, a commercial movie, would damage our game".

So for now there is no GTA movie, but if there ever will be (and if the GTA series will stay popular), you can expect something cool. Something original. A "landslide approach".

i'd buy that for a dollar

They is already making a Deus Ex movie.

Mafia? C'mon! How many gangster films do we have already? System Shock 2? Agree completely.

Can't believe nobody mentioned DUKE NUKEM!!

po0k · 20-11-2002 6:23pm

Because it should have been made 10 years ago when arnie wasn't a geriatric.

And it would still be shít.

GiMiC · 20-11-2002 11:24pm

I remember hearing about a year ago that there was some talk of making Duke Nukem into a movie, with The Rock as the lead. IMHO it could have possibly worked. The target audience for a film like that would be the same sort of people who enjoy Arnie movies (like me ;-) ), so a decent plot wouldn't be required.

I have horrible visions of someone buying a franchise for UT or Quake and making it into some cheesy movie following a young hero's exploits in the Gaming Arenas etc - not good.

All that said, Quake 2 (and the pending Quake 4) have story that could work as a Movie (big scrap against the Strogg), but it's been done before and would probably look pants!

Max Pane would work since the game plays like a movie anyway - same applies for GTA (especially GTA3).

What you've got to remember is, most games take their influences from the movies...

Retr0gamer · 21-11-2002 3:16pm

Only American games copy movies because American developers have no imagination. Japanese British and French games are usually original with lots of imagination.

Then you have the films that actually copy the games like The Matrix. It will be a bit of a disappointment to see Morpheus doing exactly what MGS's ninja did with the katana in the film. Most people will think it's cool but for me I'd have already seen it before.

yeah, plenty of imagination after a big bucket ful of mushies.
Goes a long way to explaining Pikmin, Choo Choo Rocket and Pokémon tbh.

Alien vs Predator:) been on hold for years now.....get the finger out Fox:mad:

21-11-2002 11:59pm

They are making Aliens v Predator but it'sbeing made by Paul Anderson the man responsible for Mortal Cambat and Resident Evil. So it's going to be crap. It seems not only did they want him but they got rid of David Twohy (not sure if thats spelt right) who made Pitch Black to do so.:mad:

LoGiE · 22-11-2002 1:39pm

Where did you read this link please? Paul Anderson? dont you mean Paul Verhoeven who also directed robocop and total recall?

Tbh, Pitch Black kinda sucked, as did mortal Kombat, but I liked Res Evil. Milla Jovonavich

So at the moment the points are with the current plum chicken.

RopeDrink · 22-11-2002 6:02pm

Pitch Black was half decent, as was Mortal Kombat (Especially in comparison to films such as, oh I don't know, Street Fighter?) - Liked Resident Evil also.

As for games to films, Silent Hill would definately be a name I'd throw at the producers. Warhammer: Dark Omen (I never let that game go, do I) could quite possibly be a good one (Although there would be an insant reaction from LOTR fans who would go around branding it a rip off) Oh, and I slightly resemble Willem Fletcher, also, which is class.

Duke Nukem? God no - It'd be a typical cheesy one man army, gun blazing Arnie slug fest. I tire of those.

As for that comment about Arnie Playing the chap from Doom, I heard rumours YEARS ago that they were at least planning a Doom Movie. No word since, though.

I would also like to take the time to agree totally with Dav on his previous point.

JustHalf · 22-11-2002 7:40pm

Just so you know, a Pac Man film IS being made.

Homeworld would make a great movie....HMMmm...Epic Sci-Fi

koneko · 23-11-2002 9:14pm

Grim Fandango.

All in CG. Get Tim Burton to direct it. Could be kicka$s.
