    Movies made out of Games that you would like to see :)

    In further keeping with the ongoing topics, lets have a look at what games could easily make amazing movies.

    Of course, we have free reign here, no budget constraints, noone to say "you cant do that, Disney have the rights to Marvel so no way is Masterchief gonna fight Wolverine", so be creative


    1. Halo - It could be done, would require a lot of CGI, but its biggest failing would be Judge Dredd esque, cos someone is gonna want to take the helmet off.

    2. Dreamweb - An old amiga adventure game, where the instruction booklet was called Diary Of A Madman. It was a top down adventure shooter type, with such a convoluted and twisted plot it was fantastic. Personally I think it would make a good movie, if the story is told in the old Mike Hammer style detective voice over narrative thingy (see, im good with these technical descriptions)

    3. Gears of War - I know it would probably come out stinkingly bad, but there is definitely enough story here to make a great movie. Imagine Bob Sapp as the Cole Train. Marcus would be hard to cast though.
    We're only here for the Banter - The Luvvies - Chewin' The Fat

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.

    I'd heard he'd more likely be filling the producers chair Transformers style which makes more sense to me considering the number of other projects he's involved with at the moment.

    Gears of war could be a decent action film but I don't know if there's enough story there to keep me engrossed for two hours to be honest. As far as recent games go I think Dead Space (already greenlit iirc) and Fallout 3 could both work very well as movies if handled properly.

    Fallout 3 would make a good black comedy.

    And Prototype.

    Sam & Max would be a winner, especially if Dreamworks were on board.

    Thing is with Gears of War they would have to be very careful how they did it or it could end up like the mess Doom did.

    I had just completed Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions on PSP, it does have a complex story, I think it could be made into a film. Also, you could include Metal Gear Solid.

    FF7. Mind you, it would be a long film.

    wasn't the halo movie called off? halo would've made an amazing movie after the impact that Halo CE made but now with 2 sequels and various other titles announced, i think a halo movie has lost its mystery and most of its appeal. maybe a movie based on The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund would work but i remember desperately wanting a Halo movie after seeing the Halo CE ending for the first time. what a game

    Would love to see a FF7 movie too. A Crisis Core movie would also be amazing, they did a great job with the game and showing the past.

    Any other Final Fantasy would also make a good movie, excluding FF10-2 which would be dumb unless people want a Charlie's Angels style movie.

    As for other games.... Most RPG's I think can make a good movie because the story is already there, the characters and dialog is there too.

    I always think they should do street fighter again although the manga version was very good
    Syndiacate?
    Oblivion?
    Splinter Cell
    Half life
    Deus Ex
    System shock

    Most of the have good narratives you could build into a film

    Permanently confused

    Re: Movies made out of Games that you would like to see :)

    I would still love a real half-life movie

    Escape from City 17 is good (only 5 min long tho), and there are a couple of other decent machinima versions out there..but a big budget blockbuster would be awesome Tonnes of storylines to play out, could easily make a few feature films from the content imo.

    As long as Uwe stays well clear..he has already ruined too many films that should have been really good.
