Question of the Day, October 7, 2010



During a book signing in Oregon, Mexican film director and writer Guillermo del Toro stated that videogames were the "comic books of our time" and a "narrative art form." If del Toro were to try his hand at the art form, which movie of his would you want turned into a videogame?

Pans Labyrinth...as it would give even Silent Hil la run for its money!

 

[Lazarus Long]

Cronos. I want to free-roam as a kickass grandpa vampire. Or Ron Perlman. That's always good.

Pans labyrinth has got to be the greatest film of recent years, but im not too sure how it would work as a game

It could certainly be a fire under the ass of point-and-click adventure games.

 

[dragonslayer32]

Hellboy would make an awesome game, so i'll go with that.

 

[knight steel]

I haven't heard of him so i can't tell you

 

[The Cheezy One]

Pans labyrinth has got to be the greatest film of the list, but im not too sure how it would work as a game

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

Hellboy would make an awesome game, so i'll go with that.

Hellboy: The Science of Evil.

It was okay

 

[Jark212]

I think that Hellboy would make the best game. Pan's Labyrinth would be my favorite movie on the list, but I could only imagine it looking like a Harry Potter game...

 

[crotalidian]

Has to be Pan's Labyrinth, as a dark pseudo survival horror game. possibly as a sort of Dark Psychonauts type of game?

 

[Mr. Omega]

These are all great movies, but the problem is that they wouldn't translate well as great games. Hellboy has the best chance, however.

 

[Zhukov]

Pan's Labyrinth is the best of those films. But I don't really see how it could be made into a game? An adventure game maybe? But those all suck donkeys.

Guess my vote goes for Hellboy.

 

[Marter]

Didn't Hellboy already get made into a game(s)?

Anyway, I vote <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.228761-2-50-Reviews-Pans-Labyrinth-2006>Pan's Labyrinth, as it was an awesome movie.

 

[MercurySteam]

A half-decent Hellboy game would be good. The ones that have come out so far are complete crap.

 

[Furious Styles]

pan's Labyrinth is his best film, but hellboy would make the best game.

 

[The Shade]

He hasn't made it yet, but his upcoming "At the Mountains of Madness" movie.

Everybody needs more Lovecraft games.

 

[Echo136]

Hellboy would make the most sense as a video game.

 

[Super Toast]

Hellboy. I'd probably buy it on launch day. That is, if it was actually decent.

Pans Labyrinth...as it would give even Silent Hil la run for its money!

Haha, I came to this thread with that exact sentence on my mind. I would love to play a Pans Labyrinth game!

 

[saxinthehall]

The Devil's Backbone. It could make a decent survival adventure game.
