This thread is about actually being able to go see a movie
that you'd be like "wow. they did a good job"

Blackthorne: And yes folks it would almost have to be sly
stallone. Thats the only person i could picture

Duke Nuke em: It was rumored to be in production with Dolf
Lundren(sp?)

i don't want to see any videogames made into movies.

what's more, i can't think of anything less appealing than
watching such a movie..

Flashback though, that was that savage french platform game,
wasn't it? animal buzz.

Metal Gear Solid? Deus Ex? Red Faction? Manhunt? Beyond Good
and Evil? I dunno, I could imagine these games translating
into good movies but I'd still shudder if I heard someone
actually started making one (especially if it was Uwe Boll).
It's not impossible to make a good movie out of these, just
very very improbable.

I'd love a Sly Cooper cartoon, I could dig that. Nearly fool
proof. Blackthorn would be cool too.

that game is insane.. in a good way. I wonder who would

What the hell would be the point of an MGS movie? The game
is already extremely cinematic as it is. You're practically
playing a movie.

So you wouldn't have to play it. Compress all that mythos
and incorporate all that style into a taut 2 hour feature
film.

Not that I'd EVER want it to happen. But if done right, it
would work. It's no more pointless than any other movie
based on a game you could just play in lieu of watching a
movie based on it.

Neither do I, but it has to happen, there's cash in them
there cows. Might as well hope for a good product, they're
not going to be making movies based on Triggerman or
Superman 64. I usually watch video game movies just out of
curiousity, I've never seen one I'm happy with.

well, now that they finally translated one game, final
fantasy 7, into a pretty damn good anime (the recent Advent
Children, not that hyper-boring and useless The Spirits
Within), I don't have to suggest that one.

Other than that, most of those mentioned before (Deus Ex,
Deus Ex!), plus the following:

Xenogears - anime would be fitting (there IS a series for
Xenosaga, but that's not supposed to be so great; besides,
xenosaga ain't xenogears). Or CGI could be even better.

How about some Lucasarts adventure games, like Maniac
Mansion 1 or 2 - but please, not The Dig! I can already
picture Bruce Willis in Armageddon 2: The Dig.

And of course Tomb Raider - oh wait... ehm never mind! I
realize now that most games would make better CGI Lara Croft
films than real life Angelina Jolie films. Or even Milla
Jovovich films. Or even Christopher Walken as Raiden -films.

Manhunt... but there are rules. They need a big budget, all
indie actors and it needs to be unrated. Sound track by
Rephlex yet again.

That game was amazing. That was original to the fullest

Monkey Island would be a great pick. Tim Burton could take

i really wish the silent hill movie would've been good.
maybe an original story would've been better. I think
there's just too much to explain in that universe to make a
decent movie, though. either you'd be boring everyone who
already knows or leaving out important information for
everyone who doesn't. they managed to do both with what they
did make.

i think oddworld: stranger's wrath would make a decent
animated movie, but it wouldn't be anything groundbreaking.
i just found that game pretty entertaining.
