Video Game made into Movie

I'd say it's about time for them to make a God of War movie. I've seen more video games now becoming movies than in the past and i've been trying to figure out which video games i really wanna see on the big screens ^_^ what are some of yours that you want to see

God of War movie? So we could watch kratos do nothing but yell into the sky and cut things into pieces? I think this would actually be better than whatever hollywood can think up. They'll probably make him seem less epic with back story and family and srs bsns.

What would I like to see? Hmm, maybe, just maybe, if done by competent people, I'd like Uncharted to have a movie. The game itself (the second one) plays like a fucking movie. Maybe it would be redundant then? I don't know.

God of War would be the worse choice, I may of only played the third game but from what I can tell the story is pretty crappy and Kratos is basically a dick, gameplay is alright though.

Personally I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll do with Bioshock, since it's my favourite game of all time I do worry about what they'll do to my beloved franchise but if there's one thing Bioshock managed to pull off that others games can rarely do is a good story. (However Silent Hill was good fertile grounds for building a film with a decent story and they appeared to cock that up as well.)

Either way I just hope they don't turn it into a horror, sure Bioshock is no children's game but I never felt like the game was trying to scare me, it just had a creepy atmosphere. But now I've just dedicated a post to my lovings of Bioshock so I'll mention another game I want made into a film.

Phoenix Wright, no not by America obviously but by good old Japan as an anime movie (or an anime series, either one is good.) Although there may not be much gameplay to it luckily it comes with a very good story full of decent and likeable characters.

Other than that I don't know what else should be a movie, there's so very little games with good story's, Uncharted is the only other one I can think of but that's only because it feels like your playing the typical summer indiana jones rip off film.

Heavy Rain.

A movie of the Ultimate Atheist Kratos huh? I don't know I think I rather see a movie of prototype because there's a chance that Alex Mercer will beat the living hell out of Bush or Obama.

Also I dont like Kratos that much... On 1 he killed Ares for being an asshole, killing everyone including Kratos family. But on 2 he does exactly the same thing and leads Sparta to crush another nation now isn't this hypocritic. I just feel like he didnt grow in character at all.

1. Bioshock directed by Guillermo del Toro, he'd make it genuinely creepy but beautiful

2. Mass Effect, it plays like a movie anyway, has some genuine actors voicing it, and the dialogue is already fantastic (Bioware are supposedly working closely with Legendary, so this could be good)

3. Anything by Team ICO, just because :p


No-one say Halo, pleeeeeeeeeeeease.

Making an (extremely) wishful assumption that it'll be a good movie, I'd like to see:

Mass Effect. It's almost already a movie, and some characters in the series are both voiced an modeled after actors anyway and the story has the perfect proportions of action and breathtaking storytelling.

Metal Gear Solid 3.

Rookie spec ops solider turned badass veteran? Check. Sexy spy? Check. Sadistic KGB officer? Check. A big fucking robot? Check. Sharon Stone? Check.
What do you need more, honestly?

Persona (doesn't matter which one, either 2 or 3 would be best though).
It'd be pretty...unique.

Minesweeper

I would suggest Dead Space but then it might end up being ruined.

Bioshock would be good, but a System Shock movie would be better.

Mass Effect is already being made into a movie.

I will eat Halo-Halo later. There I just said it. U MAD?

There was talks about a metal gear solid movie a few years ago,but it didnt work out

God of war movie could be another 300 movie,so I wouldnt think it would be so bad.

Bioshock...hmm maybe

Prototype or infamous could work very well in movies.

Oh yeah my suggestion would be Folklore.Folklore had a pretty good story,save for the terrible voice acting in the english version.Its pretty linear,so i wouldnt think they could f this one up badly lol

I'm actually quite jealous that I didn't think of that...

Sorry to say this, but after seeing all of those Halo: ODST commercials and watching District 9, I'm actually very interested in seeing a Halo movie. Neil Blomkamp, the director of D9 and the afore mentioned ODST commercials, was originally supposed to direct the Halo movie before the funding was dropped for it a while ago. Let me be clear that this isn't Halo fandom talking. In fact, if the Halo movie were to be directed by anyone besides Blomkamp then the chances are I probably wouldn't watch the movie.

Last I heard, movies were already being discussed for Mass Effect, Gears of war and Infamous. However, I think Infamous is the only one of the three that actually stands a chance at successfully transitioning from a game to a movie without too much difficulty.

Gears of war needs a movie, definitely

If the director and cast do a good job, yeah, I'd watch it. But the problem is, how do you turn a game like Gears of War into a live-action movie? To me, it seems like too much of a challenge/work for most directors.

Infamous, however, wouldn't have too much of a problem. Just find a guy to portray Cole (preferably a no-name actor), write up a good script, and toss in some creative uses of stunts and special effects. And maybe if they can ease off making the whole film an origin spectacle like Spider-Man that movie could probably end up being very good. Just set up the plot, establish the characters, give Cole his powers, and then crank the movie into high-gear and leave it there till the credits role.

Video games and movies will never, NEVER combine. There hasn't been a single good movie-based video game, with the possible exception of Spider Man 2. Similarly, there have been no (really) good movies based off of video games.

Anyway, what would I want to see? I dunno, maybe a Fallout game? I can see some potential in Fallout 3.

Yeah, sounds like a good idea. I'd like to see some games so I can actually see what the story line is about instead of grinding and forgetting what I'm fighting for.

So far most of the video games to movies have sucked and Uwe Boll doesn't help the genre either.
Last I heard he was going to make a Metroid movie featuring Jessica Simpson...

I can think of at least two other good movie-based games at the top of my head. X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Wanted: Weapons of fate. They're not perfect, but they are fun.

As for games into movies, there are a couple I liked but can't really say were good. Doom was entertaining, but the switch from demons to mutants really disappointed me and made me feel that it wasted a lot of potential to be a great movie. Conversely, I've never played a Silent Hill game in my life, which may be why I rather enjoyed the movie.

It seems to me that, while these movies are by no means the worst films ever made, people that have played the game before watching the movie may be disappointmented when they find out that the director has made some changes to the source material in order to get the plot to fit into an hour and a half movie. The only exceptions are Uwe Boll flicks, which really are that bad, no matter how you look at it.
