10 games that "should" be movies

They should try and make Chrono Trigger an anime series. They probably can from all those cutscenes too. (I think there's too much story for just a movie).

I'd watch it if it wasn't a slapped together cash-in series like a lot of jrpg adaptations. I'd recommend Kyoto for it, but I recommend them for a lot of things. They just better not do something with the time travel like they did with endless eight. /offtopicangryreference

Also, I see great potential in a Metroid movie for some reason, despite that, in my opinion, the addition of large amounts of dialogue and greater linearity for Metroid Prime 3 was a mistake. Maybe it could be done better and more fittingly in a movie.

uwe boll ruined movies based on games for me

That link's casting is horid. DiCaprio as Link? Shia as Cloud? /em shudder

Something based around Half Life would be nice if it could be done well

 

[NeutralDrow]

While I don't agree with most of the things on that list, I admit I would pay good money to see a Devil May Cry movie (especially one based on the third game).

I would like to see HL2 as a movie, and oddly enough, a Jet Set Radio Future movie would be interesting to see, but i doubt they would do it right.

IF F.E.A.R. was done correctly, i think it would make a rather excellent horror movie, but alas, no such thing will happen.

Nah. The spooky girl thing has been rendered impotent in recent years. It's just become a cliché, regardless of how it's used in a given genre.

For me, I'd like to see a well made GdoW. And if the Clash of the Titans does well, it could happen. It was mooted some time ago, but it was obviously wishful thinking.

I have to agree wholeheartedly with the article's first 3 choices: Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid and Bioshock

Ron Perlman as Mundus? I am SOLD as of this MILLISECOND! XD

 

[Shock and Awe]

Halo would make a awesome movie

 

[Deleric]

Probably expensive as shit, but a Warcraft III movie would be epic, considering those kickass cinematic scenes.

i actually like the idea of a warcraft movie. i know people hate on warcraft. but, i think a well done warcraft movie would be pretty damn epic.

I'd love to see Deus Ex as a movie, personally.

I was actually thinking about this yesterday...
If Valve ever finishes their half-life series i think it would make an amazing movie.

 

[crouchingtigress01]

How about a live action version of Legends of Dragoon, Legend of Zelda, and/or God of War?

 

[shaltir]

legends of dragoon...there is a game i haven't heard about in forever. good game though.

I think that video game stories arnt sophisticated enough to make a really good movie. Most people who think games would make good movies, you only think that because you liked the game so much anything based on that game has to be good right? Wrong, there is a good reason video game movies suck, because if you take the stories out of video games, there isnt alot to them. Movies and video games are on different planets in terms of script writing, story progression etc the different genres should be left alone.
