Good Movies that would've made really Bad Games

[willard3]

The SAW movies, oh wait.

Well there was that game called Trapt [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapt_(video_game)], which I suppose has some elements from Saw.

there is also a licensed SAW videogame in the works as well.

oh snap

 

[Ansem-The-Wise]

The Pursuit of Happiness.

Cloverfield.

The Strangers.

Would NEVER work:

• 
  Hedwig and the Angry Inch
  

Bahahahaha!!! I just broke my brain trying to imagine that game.....

A Dark City game would ether be full of awesome or fail spectacularly....I'd bet money on the fail...

 

[Lucia di Lammermore]

The Big Lebowski. If they made a game it would end up being an adventure game where you make zero progress with an added bowling minigame. That is the best case scenario.

Any of the Monty Pyton Movies, too random and sketch based to make any kind of coherant game.

Actually, they did. Unsurprisingly enough, you were right. Even though the game followed the plot of the movie it was still pretty damn random and generally weird.

Hmm...

It says that that was the second of three. What were the others?
Life of Brian?
The Meaning of Life? Now that would make a weird game.

Debbie does Dallas

... though on second thought

 

[Xerosch]

Shakespeare in Love
Back of the Box: Dress up like a transvestite and recite your favourite verses of any Shakespearean play EVER! Now it's your turn to complete the drama!

and 'Dancer in the Dark'. Simply because the graphics would suck...

Killer Clowns From outer Space. Remember: "YOU GOTTA SHOOT 'EM IN THE NOSE!!!"

 

[Pointsman]

a fight club game would have been horrible

I remember reading a review AGES ago (10 years ago, something like that). It was a Monty Python point and click game, based on The Meaning Of Life. That's all I can remember (except a screenshot of John Cleese dressed as a waiter, holding several platters, as a puzzle)

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Pulp Fiction comes to mind...So do most comedies I've seen...

 

[DoctorNick]

Killer Clowns From outer Space. Remember: "YOU GOTTA SHOOT 'EM IN THE NOSE!!!"

That sounds like a Half-Life mod a bunch of teenagers who just figured out how to compile a map would try to make.

 

[The Shade]

Casablanca would be pretty lame as a game. Maybe as a point-and-click adventure, but even that would be stretching it.

 

[Pseudonym2]

Network, A Scanner Darknly, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Dreams, most movies wouldn't make good games.

 

[LordSnakeEyes]

Any Horror Franchise... I Stand By My Word.

 

[JokerGrin]

Requiem for a Dream. I don't see there being a good ending there!

 

[Christemo]

the danish movie The Journey to Saturn (Rejsen til Saturn in danish), which is a real good cartoon comedy. but it would be really bad as game. also Twillight (havent seen it, since i find it girly :O). probably also Gladiator, but not Troy. the duel with Hector would be an epic boss fight.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Hamlet 2

I'm just kidding. I haven't even seen it.
