So guys here's my question to you: Which Video Game Series Do You Want To See Have Movies Based On Them?

Me personally i want to see movies based on the Fallout, TES, and Halo series the most.

But what about you guys?

Not gonna lie.

I'd watch an Assassin's Creed movie.

Just have John Woo make it.

But almost all movies that were video games are terrible so I don't want to have a game I like associated with a bad movie but if it was good I would choose fallout

Blizzard has been planning a Warcraft movie for a few years now, so I went with that. A Fallout or Assassins Creed movie would also be nice, but a Portal movie would probably be the best!

Err...Fallout, maybe? I'd like to see the Fallout narrative told without the bugs and the wooden characters. Most other story-driven games I like wouldn't be improved by being a movie. The idea of making a movie out of the Mass Effect games is nauseating to me. Having only played Oblivion and a bit of Morrowind, my opinion isn't worth much, but I don't see an Elder Scrolls movie being any good at all. Story is weak in those games.

I'm pretty glad the Uncharted movie was just cancelled (or was it just put on hold?). How can a movie do any better than the games?

I don't think a movie being turned into a movie can work. They need to really work hard to get something good outta it. Personally, until a director can prove that games can be translated well in to movie then I never want to see a movie based on any game.

If a Fallout movie would ever occur, I hope it will NOT be based on Fallout 3 since the story of that game was just balls, Fallout 2 on the other hand has an amazing story.

Not really a series, but Nier was a great game. I think it would make a great movie, if they didnt change too many things...

Really, I'd prefer none. But I'd go with Halo from the choices open. It seems like it's the best one on the list. Most of those games are open-world, and trying to get a movie of an open-world game with a good story while keeping the 'game' feel to it would likely trip most of them up. Also 'Final Fantasy' isn't a good poll option in my opinion, as it's a series that, unlike the others, doesn't actually have much continuity between games, so a movie based on the general FF series is impossible since it's a constantly changing series. That said, that does have two movies out, so it also shouldn't really be on there. Just saying. ^^;

Going off from the choices, I'd like to see a movie based off Mass Effect, set in the same universe but not following Shephard. A gears movie could be good for a just a action movie that doesn't try too hard to be serious. L4D could also be interesting if done correctly. I would love to see a live-action pokemon movie just for the hell of it, because I think getting good CGI pokemon would make it worth seeing. I suppose a Zelda movie could work, as it is generally linear in nature. And then there's MGS, which is basically just a movie with some game parts thrown in already.

But really, I'm just waiting for a Firefly game.

An assassin's creed movie about the future assassins and Desmond and abstergo industries.
It must have lots of conspiracies and hidden blades.

It doesn't make sense that there'd be so many games and a TV show but noooo mooovies.
What are you talking about? There are, like, ten movies out for the series. Yes, they are animated (which is why I specified live-action in my post), but there are still a lot of movies out for the series. I even remember going to see the first one when I was a kid, many years ago...

Captcha: improved erioes. I don't know what an erioe is, but it's new and improved!

A few years ago creator Doug TenNapel (who also came up with Earthworm Jim and The Tick) announced that there were plans of making a movie out of The Neverhood. Sadly, the deal fell though.

I would LOVE to see a Neverhood movie done in the original claymation style. It would be a breath of fresh air amidst the gimmicky, 3-D obsessed state the movie industry is in right now.

I adore the Elder's scroll series but how would you make a movie out of them? Without them becoming terrible.

Really, I'm gonna go with Metal Gear. Done well, I think a metal gear movie would be kickass

Assassin's Creed and Fallout. Mass Effect would be interesting if done right too.

Though I think we are still pretty far from video game movies being done right. I resigned myself to that when I saw how badly they screwed up Wing Commander and none of the movies since have been any better.

None. I really don't see the fun factor in movies based on games. You take something interactive and strip it form interactivity, leaving just well, cutscenes. In that case i'd rather watch original IP movie since at least it can bring something new.

Plus so far pretty much every movie based on game was terrible. It doesn't transfer well.
