Recently started playing Shadow of Destiny and was thinking how GREAT this would work as either a 'choose your own adventure' or some kind of mini series/OVA.

Any other games you think could make the jump from 'interactive media' to 'passive media'?

I think the Witcher would make a good movie. It was already spawned from a pretty amazing book series, and there is plenty of Witcher action, as well as very interesting characters, in a world rife with all sorts of conflicts.

I think Elder Scrolls could make a decent movie as well, simply because it's a fully-fleshed out world with no defined protagonist, meaning the directer is free to make whoever he wants into his movie's protagonist and then write whatever plot he wants, provided it falls convincingly within the setting of Tamriel.

Destiny would make a great novel series. A novel following the adventures of a fire team of Guardians would be what I'd like to see.

The Infamous series would be a good movie series. The setting would also be a good choice for a novel series or TV series following the life of a Conduit.

The Fallout series would also make a decent novel as well. Just the story of a person trying to survive, maybe delve a little more into some groups.

Im gonna Say the Fallout Series. Since we as humans are so in love wit the end of the world it would be a great tv/movie series. Fleshed out characters and weird creature designs.

I want to say Tf2 since they already have "shorts" that are extremely popular but I have no idea what a movie would be about.

XCOM, Deus Ex, Command & Conquer, to name a few...

I was gonna add Fallout and Baldur's Gate, but they're too big... I imagine they'd have 100 episodes of fillers and extended-universe crap instead of sticking to a core story.

Can I ask which one or do you just mean a film set in the BioShock universe?

I'm just saying this because BioShock 1's plot is one of the few that incorporates the gameplay into it so the effect would be lost in a film. Much like how Silent Hill's film was good but fell flat when compared to the games.

Have to go with Bioshock also, but only if it got a competent director who truly gives a shit about the whole thing.

Straying a little from the movie side of things. After playing Dust: An Elysium Tail, I think that could be converted into a pretty good one season anime. It has all the right characters and imagery and a good world setting. Plus, more Fidget can only be a good thing :3

None. Pretty much any movie based on a game has been mediocre at best, utter travesty at worst. I thought this was common knowledge by now.

I think there already is a Witcher movie/tv-series that was made in Poland. Try to look it up if you are interested.

OT: I don't really know. Wait, come to think of it, Final Fantasy games are pretty damn fine material for, well, anything: books, graphic novels, movies.

I agree. Vault 11 from fallout new vegas always seemed like it could be a really good movie/book.

I've always felt Ratchet and Clank would make for a pretty cool cartoon show. Sort of in the same vein as Samurai Pizza Cats.
