honestly, it would have to depend on the game. like the disgaea anime, it worked because the game played with intentions of being like an anime. the reason why i say that it depends on the game is that i fear seeing a repeat of the super mario brothers super show.
Poll: Someone told me that they should turn games into tv shows instead of movies

Arkham Asylum wasnt really a movie that was more comic book series to gameethaninja said:No no no. Movies at mostThe rest should just stay games. Now movies turned into games would be fun. But it never works out.. except for Riddick and Arkham Asylum.
I dunno if that is necessarily true. A game with enough installments, eg resident evil, or even spyro could make a series. All you need to do is plan out the world in components and challenges. Pokemon is the biggest example I can think of, there might be better ones.Erniesrubberduk said:
Speaking as someone who liked the Mega Man show, both Sonic shows, the Super Mario show, and who even has a soft spot in my heart for the hilarious abomination known as the Legend of Zelda show (Excuuuuuse me, princess! [http://qwantz.livejournal.com/112122.html]), I think that this is a good idea and you should feel good for proposing it.
I actually like this idea. As more and more time goes by, I'm coming to the realization that I hate movies. They are never well developed, or have a deep enough story. It's all because they are so limited in their viewing time that they can either have a hollow movie, or try to shoehorn all the facts in. Neither are going to work, so you only get a rare few that actually are good because they didn't need to cram facts in. Gran Torino is one example that comes to mind.
Any sci-fi or fantasy stories are almost impossible to convey in 1.5-3 hours because of all the backstory and universe development, and I'm sick of them trying. Just make it a TV show and let us have the full story. It can be made cheaper that way too.

Yeah I ment like, the characters and such sorry. Question is, since those games were so awesome and didn't follow the storyline, why was the Avatar game so bad?Erniesrubberduk said:Arkham Asylum wasnt really a movie that was more comic book series to gameethaninja said:No no no. Movies at most
because the game wasnt really good? that it wasnt trying to meet a movie release and had time to work on gameplayethaninja said:Yeah I ment like, the characters and such sorry.

Considering that many games have anime adaptations of them, and that they're often better than a lot of our video game movies (though that's not saying much), that could probably work.
If that does happen, however, I have but one request: that someone makes a high-budget Elite Beat Agents show.

I can see where your friends is coming from, as I've also had that idea. When turned into movies, things are often left out or cut short. If a given game were to become a television series, however, the producers and directors and all them could leave in (or even add) as much as they want, or as much as they feel would serve said game justice.
Possibly one of the biggest obstacles when making a movie based on a game is the time constraint. You can't have an eight-hour long film, now, can you? (Well, I suppose you could, but who's going to sit through all of it, really?)
