True, but Portal was already mentioned in the list. And can you imagine another load of people running around screaming "The Cake is a Lie!"smallharmlesskitten post=18.74946.853209 said:
Videogames That Should Be Made Into Movies
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Newly released? Hmm, A Far Cry 2 movie would be worth a watch, but if I had my pick of any video game it would definately be Metal Gear Solid. Wonder who would play snake... Gerard Butler would be great. Aghhh fantasising...
EDIT: Holy shit, just googled that and it looks like Metal Gear Solid is going to be made into a movie :O. Don't know about Gerard Butler though... Christian Bale is rumored to be playing Snake. This could be good

All of this is bullshit.
Most of the games cited there would require plots for their movies which would just have no point using the game reference if not just to milk it more, at which point you know it would be just better to make an original IP straight for the silver screen.

i know that resident evil 4 could have been a movie the story line was complex and it would have had a lot of badass effects one game though that shouldn't be made into a movie is god of war its just to good of a game to be made into one i saw the parady X play did and i thought it would suck wether they were seriuse or not

Good video game movies are a thing of the imagination of a fanboy. There won't be a good vg movie is to make the movie the writer has to take somewhere from 8-18hrs of story and gameplay and translate that into about a two hour movie. And a large portion of the movie will be spent on Big budget special effects and action scenes.
If you want that experience just play a Metal Gear Solid game.
I think most games would do better as a TV series. Most of them are simply too long to compress into a movie.
and then make popcorn during the 3 hours of cutscenes between game play elements XDsheic99 post=7.74946.855155 said:
This. The narrative of a game is nothing like the narrative of a movie. Most people would agree that the Half-Life series has a pretty good story that's very well presented, but I cannot imagine agreeing with an argument that says it could make a good movie. Ditto Portal.
Games are just not suited to movie remakes. Spin-off stories? That's feasible. There are game settings that could have a good story written into them, but just like any movie you need a brilliant writer to write a brilliant movie, a brilliant director to direct it, etc etc etc.
I think it would be pretty awesome to see Endwar as a movie, that cinematic trailer was damn good.
I would only accept Portal as a movie if it was a musical. Imagine GLaDOS singing about the mission while Chell and other random characters do a dance similar to those in the West Side Story. That would surely be epic.
I think Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask would make a great movie~
Perfect Dark and MGS make sense but I think Mario 64 would have to be my ultimate choice.

I'd have to say two Yahtzee-approved videogames: Killer7 and No More Heroes. The depth of their satire, the visual appeal, and the mostly stand-alone enemies make them suitable candidates to me.
Otherwise, not a movie, but I think Skies of Arcadia should be made into an anime. Not lame OVAs like Tales of Symphonia, but a full length anime series.

Fine, here's one that people shouldn't mind too much, either Zone of the Enders (just get the Neon Genesis Evangallion people to do it,) or The Bouncer, yes the bouncer; it has just about the right length, and it's been a while since a movie about being a bar brawler has come out.
