Video games are an ideally different form of entertainment than anything else. You control the action, you control the story, the camera, the everything else. Making them into a movie is a one-dimensional idea that can only capture a fraction of what video games offer. I sound like a huge fat nerd now, I am aware.

George Lucas as director of Metal Gear Solid for shits and giggles

most videogames are already highly derivative of B-movies and attract talent and budgets commiserate with being a mindless copy of a copy of a copy.

people talked endless shit about the David O. Russell Uncharted movie because the script deviated so far from the games' story but it's probably the best videogame movie we were ever liable to get

>>86209565

All of these have the right combination of substance and style to actually be adapted well. Maniac Mansion even managed to be a relatively decent if utterly forgotten sitcom in Canada.

Video game movies would be good if they took an aspect of a game we CAN'T play.

Most of these movies taking the plot of the games but slightly changing it doesn't cut it.

There were plenty of people that liked the games, it being one of the highest selling games of the early nineties. Who cares about normies?

Are you out of your mind?

Jagged Alliance and Maniac Mansion are universally acclaimed genre benchmarks. Only Terranigma could be considered even remotely obscure and that's only because it didn't get a North American release, it was still a huge critical success in PAL territories.

These games are popular, successful and entry-level as fuck. You posted The Order 1886.

Maybe if you don't actually play video games and all you're familiar with is Mario, but I assume we're talking about something that will appeal to the video game demographic or what would be the point in making adaptions at all?

Video games suck ass for three reasons.

1. Only popular video games get made into movies. That is why most of them are complete trash, because the most popular video games don't have a narraitive worth shit. Its the same in literally any adaption. Look at the current fucking capeshit trend, the only things that are getting made for the most part are just that, capeshit. There are a ton of lesser known comics that would make for amazing films. Its the same with video games, World of Warcraft makes for a shitty film? Doom? Wow what a shocker, maybe try making something out of a property that is mildly interesting. The Longest Journey, Blackwell, The Secret World, to name a few.

2. Nobody believes video games could make good movies, because nobody has done it, so nobody tries. Again look at capeshit, pre Iron Man was (mostly) trash, capeshit wasn't taken even remotely seriously. Now we have Guardians of the Galaxy, pre Iron Man days nobody would have dared put any money into something like that. Look at the biggest budget video game movie Warcraft, its still a piece of shit because people don't take video games seriously. Its got muted colors, it tries to be edgy, the same shit that capeshit was doing before Iron Man. See: Daredevil.

3. Video game movies are just the video games without the gameplay. Comic/book movies are providing something new at least, a visual element that wasn't there before, video game movies just remove an element and had nothing worth while in its place.

4. Video games are shit.

>>86210671
Nuka Break on YouTube but Fallout 4 literally killed the franchise for any fans.

>take away the actual rpg aspects
>recycle 3's story but you're the father

Despite me playing 3 and NV on console only I can't even get into 4 with fucking mods.

>>86210804
Nuka Break is cringy garbage, why would you recommend anyone watch that? May as well tell someone to watch The Guild if you just want them to suffer.

>>86210785
>its still a piece of shit because people don't take video games seriously.
>Its got muted colors, it tries to be edgy
But adapting it to be serious, IS taking the material seriously.

And Daredevil didn't have muted colors and had less edge then the best Daredevil comics especially in relation to Bullseye.

>>86210853
I haven't watched it myself so I was just letting anon know something exists.

>>86210785
You don't fucking deserve good video game movies if you want them all to be silly campy childish garbage.

Jagged Alliance's movie rights sold for more than the entire IP like ten years ago and they still haven't made it. It'd probably be better as a series though.

Zack Snyder as director of Gears of War and Sami Raimi as director of God of War but he'd have to make Kratos likable which would be very difficult. Really doubt anyone could get Gears of War's 80's dudebro testerone humor right.

>>86210966
The suits in gears of war would be shit.

God of war would be good though.

>>86208997
Silen Hill 1, Resident Evil 1 and Doom were ok in their own way.

>Which one would you like?
Dead Space, since it picks a lot of references from actual movies it shouldn't be that hard to synthetize it as one.

>>86211044
Dead Space has movies ya dumbass.

>>86211060
An actual movie, not an animated ova

Halo would have lots of different in universe stories they can tell, from Humans to covenant to even Forerunners.

I would say start small though. Make a Contact Harvest movie.

>>86211147
>a movie doesn't count despite being a movie

You're a special kind of retarded

>>86208997
The Silent Hill prequel sucked balls but Silent Hill is to this day probably the only vidya adaptation to actually capture the feel of the game accurately in certain scenes - even if it is a less than decent movie.

Red Dead Redemption, best story of any Rockstar game.

Silent Hill, if the story was focused on the second game, as it's a tragic story about personal demons and denial.

Mortal Kombat, because we are long overdue for another fucking MK movie.

Zelda anime, based on the war between Hyrule and Gannondorf's armies.

The Suffering, epic psychological horror about a man who was accused of murdering his family.

Max Payne 3, literally turn the story into a script but with the substance of Max's suffering and past, not hollywood action bullshit.

>>86209440
I liked Warcraft. You just have to remember its based on a multiverse where not every story will be parallel to the games.

>>86211331
A modern Mortal Kombat would be nice.

They suck because:

a)The source material is not good enough for a movie/show (see: Hitman, Ratchet and Clank)

b)Incompetent people with no knowledge of the source material get attached to the project

Assassin's Creed was almost good but they forgot to hire actual writers.

>>86210340
>Max Payne movie
>Barely any action
>PG-13
>Good
Yeah no

>>86211561
The thing that angers me the most is when they miss the point why people find the games interesting. Assassins Creed for example, nobody gave a shit about the modern day crap, they liked the historical assassin shit

>>86211331
Red Dead actually aired on television with 30 minutes of cutscenes.

>>86211247
>thread is about adaptations to full feature film of particular video games
>insists a prequel non-theatrical ova is the same

Tomatoes are vegetables right?

The first Hitman is good.

>>86211689
>I'm only pretending to be retarded!

Nice food analogy really made me think.

No one has said Left 4 Dead and the loading screens for all the stages were movies posters
Dead Island would be a good zombie game film as well;
fuck resident evil and silent Hill. Both are garbage zombie genres that are hidden BDSM fetish with how powerless you're made to feel against dead fucking cadavers walking.

They're just two very different types of entertainment. That they are both audio visual is coincidence. What makes a game good and what makes a great premise of a movie are very different.

Same reason making a song into a movie, or a painting into a poem would just be silly.

I think Hitman in theory could work, just make him the anti-James Bond: a slow burn, gothic story of a celibate detatched man with no identity outside of murder and uses religion to find answers to his possible guilt, world trotting assinations with an episodic sort of framework.
The problem is the filmmakers and reasons behind the movies. I think worlds like the ones you see in Halo, Silent Hill, or Fallout are big enough you could almost tell any kind of story as opposed to something like Metal Gear where the world doesnt really allow for that kind of exploration
Fun fact: the directors of Hitman from 2007 and Silent Hill would both play the games on set and use them as reference for angle

>>86208997
Half life and BioShock infinite.

>>86208997
I don't think a Dragon Age or Mass Effect series or movie would be liked because each player has a more or less different experience, based on the characters they create and decisions they take.

If you just take the default character and make a movie about him/her... that would be boring. desu I don't understand why they couldnt make the Assassins Creed Movie good. Ezios story for example could've worked well as a TV series.

>>86212496
Yes

>>86212629
The Problem with game adaptions is that the movie makers always try to use the blockbuster formula. A Hitman series or movie would be much more interesting as you said in an episodic form, it doesn't even need much of an overarching story. Even less some kind of Love interest or an end of second act depression.

>Why do they suck?
Most games have a built in fanbase and filmmakers know this. Since they know people will see it anyway they feel they can expend less effort. Uwe Boll is different, that shit was intentional.
>Like to see
KOTOR, just to get the canon back.
Dynasty Warriors the series would be fun as fuck. The cast could ham it all they way up and it would fit, and Three Kingdoms films have already been made.
Psychonauts the animated series.
War of the Monsters, if anybody remembers that.
Mechwarrior please. You can have political intrigue and giant robots, but not in a Gundam way.
Perfect Dark, if we disregard PD:Zero.
System Shock could be a cool Escape From New York/The Raid kind of film.
Deus Ex, get Ridley Scott on it. Cyberpunk as a genre is more relevant today than ever.

As far as books go a Black Company series would be amazing.

I kinda want to see a Pathologic movie because its already heavoly taken from theater so it shouldnt be too hard to translate. Also imagine if they went with the three character format and realeased three movies following each character on the same day. Would probably make an interesting marketing stunt.

does anybody remember this?

The problem with videogame adaptations is that they're trying to make adaptations instead of tie-ins. It sort of works for novels, but videogames? Nope. You can't translate gameplay into movie, which is by definition non-interactive. As such it is obvious that instead of stuffing the movie with thousands of repetitive or disjointed action scenes that are somehow meant to mimic the gameplay, you should make a movie which action happens besides of the story established by videogames instead of repeating it.
The best candidates here are RPG games because their well-described lore allows for those tie ins to happen. For example, Morrowind prequel showing the "war of the first council" together with the creation of tribunal is feasible and easy to make lore-friendly(because we already know the rough storyline). Don't sperg-out too much with trying to explain the convoluted lore(but keep true to it - as a "reward" for people who do know the lore) and it has potential to become okay-ish fantasy movie.
