Movies you can't make good games out of.

[miscelaneous]

Sex and the city probably. Then again, "Tap X to fake enjoying it."

 

[CheeseSandwichCake]

I would have to say Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Great movie but it wouldn't work as a game.

Press X to say Neee!!

Press B to taunt them a second time!!

Are you serious? That game would rock. I imagine it'd make a great puzzle adventure game with light swordfighting. I'd preorder a real copy of it and wait overnight for it.

Minigame where you have to shield yourself against all that crap the French are throwing off of their castle at you.

Ed Wood: The Game.
"Press A to dress in woman's clothing!"
"Press B to destroy a once-great star's reputation!"

 

[Lord Beautiful]

The Room

Find something worse. I dare you.

 

[The_Deleted]

Any Todd Solondz movie.
A Kevin Smith Sim. Press X to come across like a smug, one note ****.

Were would you start? I would love to see the trophies for it though, "drink 1,000 units in one day".

 

[Old Man Neck]

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, or any other movie that isn't action based.

 

[wildpeaks]

Since there is no movie that can't be turned into a pinball machine I don't think that there are any that can't be turned into a video game.

Or a Peggle game, any movie would work.

Anything that David Lynch have made.

... Or can they? Hmmm.

I could imagine a Blue Velvet RPG or a Twin Peaks chess game.

 

[Generator]

I don't think any romantic comedies would make very good video games. At least, most of them wouldn't...

Spoiler

I was going to think of some clever joke for here, like a picture of a romantic comedy that would make the worst game ever, but I honestly couldn't think of anything.

I know, it's disappointing. But trust me, you couldn't possibly be more disappointed about it than I am.

Disney movies...

It is physically impossible to make any half-tolerable game out of one of them...

 

[SoranMBane]

Probably all of them. Movies seem to go into explosive decompression when they try to make them into games, especially since they seem to be in the habit of trying to make the game within the same time frame as the film, where game development is generally a far more time-consuming process than film making.

Disney movies...

Kingdom Hearts?

Also Aladdin for the Sega was actually pretty cool.

 

[Plurralbles]

Marley and Me.

Unless you're going to just Heavy Rain it up.

Oh shit... it is possible to make a game out of any movie, but msot of them would be shit. Ther are no absolutly impossible movies.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

It:

Press B to not get eaten!

Press A to not be as good as the novel!


The book would be even worse:

Press B not to get raped!

Press A to repress the memory!

 

[zenoaugustus]

"Press B to look at Donald Sutherland for a while"

I'd buy that game

That game would be the BALLS. I'd play that.

Well, you got me there...

But every other game based on a Disney movie still sucks...

 

[VivaciousDeimos]

Twelve Angry Men.

Basically a short version of an Ace Attorney game, but not as awesome, and no shouting of "Objection!"

Would be terrible.

hey, that movie is great, specially the older version. However I agree with you, it wouldn't make a great game

Well of course, it's a fantastic movie. Kids should write term papers about it in school.

I'm slightly peeved that we have yet to start using movies to teach culture in schools. I can accept video games for now as they have yet to be widely accepted as an art form, but movies are ridiculous to not be teaching!

If it makes you feel better in my logic class a couple years ago we watched the original version in class and then broke down all the arguments and fallacies that were used. I remember seeing it on the syllabus (it was already one of my favorite movies) as was like "Yeah! Henry Fucking Fonda"....I like him a lot.

As for the OT:...I propose Twilight would make an awful video game unless that player was allowed to stake the vampires Buffy style.

 

[Custard_Angel]

A Serious Man...

Not only would it not be fun. It would be downright depressing.

 

[Tinneh]

One small problem with the question: there are way too many movies that can't be made into good games. Better question would simply be: What are some good movies you can't make games out of? And the first thing that I could think of was Kama Sutra. For some pretty obvious reasons.

EDIT: I think there's already a game where you design torture systems for NPCs. I think it's the Sims.

There was another one called Garry's Mod.
