Title: Video Games that would make good movies.
Post by: GroudonRobotWars on August 14, 2011, 11:13:43 PM: Which video games do you think would make good movies.

Remember that some games are based off of movies and TV shows and would not be made into movies and some games were made into movies(Tron, Resident Evil, Prince of Persia.)

What would make good movies IMO

Assassin's Creed (Would be a good Adventure/Thriller/Action movie)
Team Fortress 2 (Good material to make a movie with and would be a good Action/Adventure/Comedy)

What do you think would make good movies?

Post by: Pwnator on August 14, 2011, 11:16:16 PM: Just any good game with a great plot.

So far only BioShock matches both criteria.

"Oh, no! I won't fit in that crevice!"

"Turn! Turn!"

"I only have 2 seconds to do so! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"

Directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

Seriously. £2 for a white triangle to appear on your bottom screen. Received 3% in ONM, with the only + being 'Well, it actually works...'

MADE INTO A MOVIE.

You mean The Spirits Within? My problems were more down to its complete lack of relevance to the FF games, and how its emotionless CGI zombiemen were rendered. The latter could be considered a hurdle with uber-realistic games nowdays- sure you can utilise 1 billion terraflopping polygons to create a face, but how are you going to get a soul twinkling behind those dead eyes?
