Video games that should actually be made in films (or other media)

Metal Gear Solid.

In regards to all those suggesting games with already decent plotsā€¦do they need film adaptations? Like now, games are being increasingly seen as a good way to explore detailed plotting (especially in terms of player-determined plots)ā€¦so films would just harm this potential, wouldnā€™t they?

Do books need movies?

44

Reckon the Coen brothers would do a good job on Fallout New Vegas

45

I guess your point is they donā€™tā€¦and most of the times Iā€™ve read a book first Iā€™ve felt no need to see a film versionā€¦but I guess the fact is that films cater for a completely different (and larger) audience, so the market is there (of course I realise this means the market is there for video game adaptationsā€¦but my point is, as a fan of the game already, would you get much out of seeing it as a film?)

46

Eh not so much. But i would love to see an oddworld movie. I think Iā€™m more in favour of movies in the same universe of a game without necessarily using the same plot

Actually sign me up for a Horizon Zero Dawn movie. And Bayonetta

47

Good point. I was more thinking of films rehashing game plots

Soundtracked by Tim Hecker!

Lol, TBH New Vegas probably has my favourite soundtrack of all time through its radio stations

I could see a Pikmin film

Jim Carrey is an astronaut on a solo mission (because heā€™s a big man who doesnā€™t need anyoneā€™s help with anything). His ship crash lands on a remote planet inhabited by Pikminā€™s who nurse him and his ship to health - and Jim learns a lesson about how important cooperation and sharing is

Dā€™you know what?
When I was a kid I used to love that cartoon and the Mario ones that had live action bits with Lou Albano as Mario and of course the Captain N cartoon.
Would I watch a movie in that style though - fuck no!
Same issue with Americans tackling anime/manga projects: they completely bastardize it beyond recognition.

Ingmar Bergmanā€™s Lemmings :rofl:

I watched an episode of the zelda one recently for some reason, and link is a massive creep in it. basically the whole thing seems to revolve around him getting a snog off princess zelda at the end and getting pissed off when heā€™s rebuffed.

Oh great, now playing Zelda is ruined as well!

not sure if this is in bad tsate or not

Looking forward to thisā€¦
