Would this work as a movie? Is there any potential?
Jacob's Locker Now Redux

Not really, mainly because of how grand the set pieces would have to be in order to match the games, and that would cost way too. It's possible to pull it of in CGI, but that'll just cheapen it to normieshit.

wasn't even a good video game. read a book

Yes it's called Apocalypse Now.
I don't think it works without active participation. You'd have to go all Funny Games and get really inventive with 4th wall and such, but that's hard to do without coming off as gimmicky.
>>82733100
yes and its called Apopalypse Now or Aguirre the Wrath of God.
what made Spec Ops the Line good was it used the medium of video games to adapt Heart of Darkness and used elements you can only really do in games, like use the loading screens that are typically used for gameplay reminders and make them gradually deliver increasingly creepier messages.

A good example of ludo, not so sure it'd work as kino though
Why would you want to see a shitty version of Apocalypse Now?
Why do people shit on Spec Ops so much anyways?
Spec Ops is proof vidya has ascended all other artistic mediums.

Just read Hearts of Darkness or watch Apocalypse Now instead.

Yup, it's a bog standard cover shooter.
Like the tryhard I set the difficulty to max on my first run. I became more and more frustrated with the controls and the mechanics. But the more unfair the game seemed, the more I wanted to see it through to the end. When I reached the end I kind of felt like a parellel of Walker. The gameplay is nothing special on its own, but it plays into what the rest of the game is trying to achieve so well.
>Generic, uninteresting protagonist
There is a reason why the Walker is voiced by Nolan North.
>Story that tries too hard to be deep and smart, but ends up being bland and hollow
>Shitty twist
I don't even know what to reply to this. Spec Ops is a bland and hollow game? Man, I'm sorry that the game tried too hard, and that you didn't like it.
