Movies you can't make good games out of.

Driving Ms. Daisy

 

[Nazulu]

I don't believe you can't make any movie into a decent video game. You just need to know what fun is a long with some creativity and walluh! Anything is possible.

 

[Yureina]

Movies being turned into games just does not work. I've never seen it work.

Spoiler

Alright... that might have been a good one. I did not really play it though. I only heard about it from friends who raved about it.

Even so... that was 15 years ago? My impression still stands. There are always exceptions though, i'll admit that.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Anything that David Lynch have made.

... Or can they? Hmmm.

Eraserhead: The Game! You can use the Wii remote to carve the turkey that leaks the goo, or use your Rock Band mic to sing along with the lady in the radiator!

 

[Cherry Cola]

Fight Club.

Because every game would miss the freakin' point.

Actually, the one game they made about the movie completely missed the point. There is my evidence!

They already made one and it was shit.

Observe the text in bold.

I talk about that game.

 

[mrhappyface]

Citizen Kane: The Video Game. The most exciting moment would probably when you exclaim "ROSEBUD!" and then the rest is history.

 

[Buizel91]

Johnny English, Final Destination, 3, Stuart Little, A movie where the dinosaurs looked like Playdough models...

 

[Super Toast]

M. Good luck...

 

[Lullabye]

To Kill a Mocking Bird:
It'd either be the greatest attorney game ever, or you'd be pegged a racist game developer. It'd be so easy to screw up. Just one missed typo......

 

[Scumpernickle]

Sex and the City

Just trying to think about it is impossible.

 

[Dumbledude]

I would imagine it would be hard to make "Shindler's list, the game", or "Vannila Sky", "The Seventh seal" or "Zargoz"

 

[Aggressor and Usurper]

I know it's been said, but Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.

"Press X to not stop in bat country"
"Press Y to...um..."

 

[Dumbledude]

Or How bout Old Yeller, the game!
Press A to provoke mother bear!
Press B to shoot faithful freind!

 

[nick n stuff]

Mario. there is proof of this fact. even Bob Hoskins couldn't salvage that wreck.
i'd like to see Hollywood try to make a tetris movie

 

[Dumbledude]

Or Anti-Christ, the Game!
Hold X to change from blubbering emotional wreck to pychopathic *****!!
Mash Y to remove Clitteris with rusty sciccors!


*Trophy unlocked* - Notice mangled fox gorging on it's intestines!

 

[SilverUchiha]

Pretty much all of them.
I've never played a movie game that I liked.

Star Wars games are fun, but not a lot of them follow a particular movie. I guess that is sort of the excuse there.

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Eraserhead.

Why? Because either the plan would work to perfection and it would be bricks-shittingly terrifying, or it would be utterly crappy, which wouldn't please Lynch fans or gamers.

Also, Frost / Nixon. Seriously, how the frell would that work? Press X to do clandestine research on President Nixon? Press B to counter Nixon's arguments? Hold Y to sweat profusely? It'd never work. Never.

I know it's been said, but Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.

"Press X to not stop in bat country"
"Press Y to...um..."

Take another puff of the joint? Inject arm with heroin? Down a glass of absinthe laced with tranquilizers?

 

[shadyh8er]

Pretty much every comedy movie wouldn't make a good game.

Superbad, Harold & Kumar, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I could go on.

Zombieland or Shaun of the Dead could be decent-ish.

Hmm, that is true. I've always thought of Zombieland as a story that could tie in to the Left 4 Dead franchise.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

You simply cannot make a game out of 'Kung Pow'.

The kung fu wouldn't be as awesome, and the humor would be lost.

I would destroy the soul of it's publisher.

On the opposite end of this discussion though...

The Warriors kicked so much ass.

***EDIT***

This would be quite a fun expansion pack. Lots of laughs and plenty of fun with chums.
