Ghost Pirate Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Think of two movies that you think would be good games and two movies that would not, the only rule is these movies can't have already been made into games. Here are my choices: Movies that would make for good games: Pacific Rim Avengers Movies that would not make for good games: Driving Miss Daisy Raising Arizona 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just as bad as Aliens Colonial Marines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Of Harts Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Most movie game ever created have been nothing short of terrible. Yes, agreed. Especially LJN games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Pirate Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 The Pacific Rim game is absolutely awful. It's just as bad as Aliens Colonial Marines. I was not aware of a Pacific Rim game. In place of that, I choose Yojimbo. If the Pacific Rim game is that bad, it is unfortunate because a great game could be made out of that concept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'm sure Kurosawa would not approve. 2001 A Space Oddyssey could (if done faithfully and properly) make a great point and click adventure game. An Applessed FPS game would be interesting Movies that would not make good games Carrie Chinatown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GryffinGuy007 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I think a more suitable topic, is what games should be made into movies. Games these days have much more compelling storylines than your modern blockbusters. Games that should be made into (cinema, feature-film) movies: -Halo. -Mass Effect. + Bioshock. Games that should not: -Call of Duty. -Doodle Jump. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games that should not: -Call of Duty. -Doodle Jump. I'm gonna have to disagree with you on Mass Effect and Bioshock. Mass Effects plot when compared to most sci-fi movies (2001, Akira, Blade Runner) is very weak. A lot of its main plot is recycled from classic sci-fi (Arthur C Clarkes Childhoods End comes to mind). It's characters are mostly stagnant and don't really develp that much. The female characters tend to develop only up until you have sex with them. All of this stuff works well in the context of a video game but in my opinion taken out of the medium it would be a complete mess. Bioshock has a great story however part of what makes the story so excellent is that it's minimalist. In order for it to become a movie I think it would have to add a lot more to the actual plot, which could really end up perverting the source material.

I'm going to add Dragon Age to the list, the first one might make an interesting movie if they did it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodfatherS117 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Inception would be a great game :3 Just kidding lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haloman 2 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 you do know that district 9 was supposed to be halo but the directors kept disagreeing and had to fire some people realising that they still needed them so rehired them and then a few didn't take the job then everyone quit but then started back up to try to keep making it and in the end the other directer quit and made the ideas they used to try to make halo into district 9. also we already have a halo movie. forward unto dawn. so we may not need another halo movie. not im joking about not needing another halo movie. id love another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
