OmegaD3k Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) - MONKEY ISLAND - Loom - BioShock - Quake - DOOM (NO! They did not make a movie about it already. *waves hand ala Jedi*) - Unreal - Lost Planet - Metroid - DARIUS (oh yes... GIANT ENEMY CRAB fish machines being hunted and shot down by silverhawks) and finally... - MegaMan - It can be just like the IRONMAN movie, where you see megaman do nothing more than try on new colorful suits and weapons for more than 45 minutes of the film!

Radd Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Oh, how could I forget Full Throttle? That was a fantastic game, and someone actually strung together the video into a movie. Clean up the dialogue and story a little, redo the animation, expand on some of the characters and ideas, and you've got potential for a cult classic movie right there. Quote
Warmaker Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Call Of Duty 4 - Would be a cool action flick. System Shock - I never played SS1, but I did have SS2 and it had a fabulous story, twisted and derelict ship in space, very tense atmosphere, and very little ammunition TIE Fighter - The game and its expansions did have a great Star Wars storyline but from an Imperial perspective. It'd be interesting to see X-Wings in crosshairs though. The whole thing would be quite different from all Star Wars movies shown Quote
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Wake me up when Custer's Revenge goes live-action. How about Battle Raper? Quote
Max Jenius Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Final Fantasy Tactics... with turn-based action! Quote
dizman Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 I'd say Freedom Fighters (pretty under the radar but a great game) or Red Faction. With Red Faction 3 coming out soon Id say a rf movie isnt too far fetched. As for Freedom Fighters, sadly unlikely. Quote
eugimon Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Final Fantasy Tactics... with turn-based action! heh, in that vein, Puzzle Quest. Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Ikari Warriors.. I think you had to kill like a million guys to beat that game... It would be the biggest bloodbath ever to be captured on screen. Make Saving Private Ryan look like a disney film. Quote

It would be the biggest bloodbath ever to be captured on screen. Make Saving Private Ryan look like a disney film. Great idea, only as long is there is a selectable option to add a kill tally esculating numbr in the bottom left or right corner. Edited September 7, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
MacrossMan Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Has anyone mentioned Contra? Another great Toynami game from the late 80's. If my memory serves me right I think there was a movie made for this one... OO Quote
MacrossMan Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Maybe Ninja Gaiden? The NES game, I mean. I concur and what about Metroid? Quote
Macross73 Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 not sure if these were mentioned Vagrant Story Killzone Half Life Ico Oddworld Abe Quote
areaseven Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Has anyone mentioned Contra? Another great Toynami game from the late 80's. If my memory serves me right I think there was a movie made for this one... OO I didn't know Toynami existed in the '80s. Quote
wolfx Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Has anyone mentioned Contra? Another great Toynami game from the late 80's. If my memory serves me right I think there was a movie made for this one... OO Dang you beat me to it.....and i think u meant Konami. It will be exactly what Hollywood wants. Two great american heroes (Bill Rizer and Lance Bean) taking on cybernetic villains and aliens filled with action and SFX. And Chris Kline (vertexguy) should do the movie's OST. Other games to be made into movies..... Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn (2 & 3 don't exist....2 & 3 don't exist) Wing Commander....which unfortunately was already done and sucked so bad Descent Freespace....need my space opera fix System Shock Bio Shock Fallout Starcraft Mechwarrior Quote
JB0 Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 I didn't know Toynami existed in the '80s. But KOnami did. I assume it was a brainfart. Or sarcasm. Quote
Kin Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Contra Rushing beat.. SPLATTERHOUSE! Edited September 7, 2008 by Kin Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Pong... They just called it "the Queen" but same concept. The movie lacked some of the complexity the game did in both plot and character development. Quote
Dobber Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Fatal Frame. Fraking scary game. Chris Quote
the white drew carey Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 They just called it "the Queen" but same concept. The movie lacked some of the complexity the game did in both plot and character development. No, dude. It was filmed as Wimbledon with Kirsten Dunst. Quote
Repiv_Onex Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Phantasy Star II That's really EPIC. I would prefer Phantasy Star movies over Final Fantasy movies, I'm surprise that someone actually mentioned it here. Personally I would like to see Macross Parasite Eve (ok there was one PE movie in the 90s, but it failed I guess) Quote

It was a film adaptation of the original horror novel that the games are sequels to. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 SPLATTERHOUSE! I second this idea. Quote
Scream Man Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Well, the PE movie wasn't based on the game anyways. It was a film adaptation of the original horror novel that the games are sequels to. Theres a Parasite Eve movie?!?!?!?!?! *Rushes to Youtube* that actually looks ok Quote
Max Jenius Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Theres a Parasite Eve movie?!?!?!?!?! *Rushes to Youtube* that actually looks ok the parasyte eve movie is kinda stupid imho... but some people like it... different strokes I think they could actually do alright with many games if they made them into a miniseries. I mean... all of them don't have to be made for theaters. RPGs would probably do well either as super long movies, or miniseries, while other games could probably be boiled down to 90-120m easily. For the record, I'd actually be interested in seeing a FFT movie (w/o the turn based stuff lol). That game had a pretty sweet story. Edited September 7, 2008 by Max Jenius Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Leisure. Suit. Larry. HAHA.. I think there is a porno with that name, or possibly just inspired by. Quote
striderhiryu Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Here's some games i would like to see into movies: River city ransom Gears of war Half life Contra (w/arnold & silvester, no imitations accepted) Strider Hiryu space Invaders Pac-man Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I really think Hollywood should stay far far away from VG franchises especially good ones. Things like Half-Life or Mass Effect don't need a movie version. The format they are in has become a perfectly viable method to tell the specific stories. Also for some massive game like Mass Effect or to cover the entire Half-Life story, you'd need to do multiple movies and quite frankly do you really need to see actors in something you've already experienced? Books are a little different since one is a visual media where the other isn't. Hollywood needs to leave games alone. Just my two cents. Quote
