I would argue Silent Hill was a "serious" attempt, and it was a piece of crap that totally missed the point of the games.ciortas1 said:
The bottom line is that games don't translate well into movies. Movies can occasionally make good games (usually through inspiration rather than direct translation) because something is added in the transition, namely gameplay. A game-to-movie transition takes away gameplay, which is almost always a fundamental part of what made the game good.
I'm up for any game to be a movie so long as you have someone writing it that knows the games, directors that know the games, and actors who are willing to take the movie as seriously as they would any other acting job they had.
I know I wouldn't want to see a Zelda, Halo, or Final Fantasy movie come into existence though. And, yes, I know that the last one has already happened, I'm just willing to live in denial on that one.
EDIT: I would, however, love the idea of a Metroid movie and a Left 4 Dead movie if they did the latter in all CGI so we don't have a crappy twat actor trying to be Francis and looking nothing like him.

Just giving you a heads up but all of these are films lolAvsJoe said:
I think a DMC film would be pretty awesome btw
I'd love to see a Dragon Age movie. 'Nuff said on that one.
On top of that, a Battlefield: Bad Company movie could be pretty cool. I can see it now; a Kelly's Heroes for the 21st century, with hard-edged fighting and a sharp sense of humour. It could do for war movies what Ocean's Eleven did for the heist genre (make of that comment what you will).

actually a modern warfare 2 movie might work well, i mean there is a protagonist(s) (soap, roach, price, etc.) and two bad guys makarov and SPOILER ALERT! sheperd. However there really couldn't be jumping from TF 141 to USMC all of the time. there would have to be two movies
Left for Dead, zombie apocalypse never gets old!
Maybe the Deus-Ex games? Most cyberpunk genre movies are utter shit. Actually a proper Cyberpunk (R Talsorian games) would be awesome with today's technology. As of right now, the most defining cyberpunk film is Blade Runner... that film is 28 years old!

I really don't think that a movie can capture a video games story. You see video games are meant for hours of play and a movie is meant for like one hours worth of entertainment. In my opinion the two just can't work together. Besides nothing makes me more mad then people who make something that is actually good, make money off of it then decide to beat it to death until we say "No more!" So I say let video games be video games and movies be movies... Don't try to put them together please!
First of all, i would hope that those of you who mentioned Bioshock as a wanted potential adaptation to a movie, is aware that it is already in the works and has been for some time.
anyway...heres my list.
Zelda
Diablo universe
Fallout 2
revamp of mortal kombat (even though i still enjoy the first one)
Half-life/Portal
System Shock 2
Tetris (just kidding,hahaha.....or am i??)
Dante's Inferno
Chronomaster (really old adventure PC game for those who don't know)
The Dig (Another great old game that was actually produced by Spielberg and almost WAS a movie but was made into a game instead)

Yeah... I'm just gonna assume that the one with Mark Wahlberg didn't happen either. They used Ludicrous, LUDICROUS as a police officer! I'd dismiss that one too.Summerstorm said:
Sadly, the only good video game movie so far was Mortal Kombat. Other than that, Street Fighter tried twice, Tomb Raider spent more money on Jolie's boobs than plot, and we can't even mention SMB without a wince and shudder.
The ones I love to see, TF2, Half Life (the entire damn thing), and Brutal Legend would make the best ones IMO.
