'They Live'.
Stealth-centric FPS RPG, with exploration and detective work. Vampire:Bloodlines + Thief.
Now that is a Movie That Would Have Made A Good Game; only problem is Duke Goddamn Nukem stole the freaking quotes.

300 was crap. I'd prefer Troy. Much better depiction of ancient greece. Also more fun. Maybe they should make a game about Doraleous and Associates...
I see no reason why they can't, once one adds the condition that games which cannot be adapted are ruled out.
I would guess that the reason most game based movies and movie based games are bad (and hence most people's dislike of even the concept) is that the majority of them are made to capitalize on something popular, rather than an honest attempt to make a good game. As such, the subjects chosen for such adaptations really don't translate and fail to provide a direction in key areas of the medium they are being adapted to.

I think Cloverfield would have been a good game. Something like Zettai Zetsumei Toshi, but with monsters. Something like Rampage, but from the perspective of those guys getting trampled underfoot. Something like Shadow of the Colossus, but with more running away as the monster smashes through urban areas.
I think Inception could be a good game if done right. Perhaps it can be a third person, cover-based shooter, mixed with Batman: Arkham Asylum's melee combat and stealth mechanics, and you are able to alter the game world's gravity and solve puzzles.
I always thought 28 Day Later would be good, especially if it had a sort of cross between Mirror's Edge (but more grounded) and Condemned. Just get the hell away from the infected, and whack anything that gets in your way.
Most are crap, but there have been a few exceptions of both types of adaptations.
You just reminded me of how I've never played a zombie game with the long term in mind. Stuff like Left for Dead and Dead Rising are fun, but what I've always wanted was some type of sandbox world full of zombies and survivors. And you can make board up a house to hide in, make runs to stores to get supplies, etc. Basically I want GTA zombie edition.jebussaves88 said:
I believe they are planning that, and taking their time with it so hopefully it won't be one of those crappy half-assed tie ins.Enigma6667 said:
I think that the attempted relationship between movie to games has been strained by 97% of all attempts being absolute shit. It is movie to game right, not game to movie? Because game to movie is a kind of stupid concept, you'd cut out all the story, plus with U.S. laws on movies there would be a love interest and an ethnic sidekick no matter what the game's about. Anyways, personally I think that it could work, but that the limiting factor is trying to incorporate the movie into the game. For instance, I liked the Spiderman movie games, because while they were based on the movies and used the movie plot as their centralized plot, they also went off on long amusing tangents that allowed for longer gameplay. Like imagine if Fight Club was turned into a game where in between story missions straight out of the movie, you got to beat people up in dark cellars and commit acts of terrorism until you decided to finish the plot. Or a video game version of the Matrix where they fill in all the plot holes and time skips with badass kung-fu sequences.
