Earthbound or Mother 3. [/thread]
If they do Mother 3, they should just do a movie based off The Notebook (the novel Mother 3 took a lot of it's themes from). I think it'd be a good movie, the book was very brutal on my mind.
I've never seen The Notebook, so I wouldn't know much about its themes...but as you can probably tell, I f***ing love Mother 3.

You need to get a hold of that book. It's by Agota Kristoff. Actually you can get the whole trilogy. The Notebook, The Proof, and The Third Lie. They're amazing man.

Pretty sure there was also a movie...or maybe I'm thinking of something else. Still, I do already know that Lucas and Claus get their names from the book....that's something, I guess.

There was a movie based off the Nicholas Sparks book (just some chick flick). Yeah their names are from it but the themes of the book are war and destruction, love and loneliness, desire and loss, and truth and fiction. By the end of the series I couldn't tell what was really happening in the books and was was fake.

Project Zero! (Fatal Frame)

If the games can scare the living shit out of me.. I would love to see it as a movie!
Preferably the first game but the third had potential!

Although I don't really like games being made into movies, let's assume this particular movie tunrs out to be really good then...

Fallout.

Not necessarily based on one of the games, but a story set in the Fallout universe, something interesting that hasn't really been looked at in detail.

Other then that, an all out 40K movie that focuses on someone other than than the Space Marines, especially Ultramarines.

idk about you guys but I would love to see a Warhammer 40k movie made about the Horus Heresy.

So what games would you love to see as a big production? and do you have any ideas on how the story would go?
I would have to say Bioshck series, mainly because the back story is awesome, and maybe Assassin's creed, again the back-story has depth, but it would definitely have to dial down the action.

Just to put it out there, I would love to see Mirror's edge as a movie, could be animated or real. But for that to happen, they would need explore the other character's better, and the history of how it all came to be like that.

Ratchet and Clank! It's actually very do-able if you ask me.

Unrealistic...but Legacy of Kain!

I assume this is based on the hypothetical assertion that the film won't be an embarrassment to the franchise like 95% of video-game-to-movie adaptations?

If done right, a Halo movie would be amazing. The first game has a good story arc that stands on its own if only one film was to be made. It would also be a good introduction to those who don't know anything about the Haloverse.

I would say the original crysis but with a parallel story so maybe it follows one of the CIA agent's who is caught up in the whole disaster of it.

Halo again with a parallel story, maybe how they first came in contact, it could have the main character as some low rank (young) marien and some civilians (master chief does not make a good movie character) and the covenant abducted some humans who have to escape from a covenant world and at the same time have to stop the covenant from preparing an invasion and even finding the first halo (perhaps), and nobody has ever heard of aliens yet.

And someone mentioned portal (agan with a parallel story as to keep it open and mysterious) wich with a lot of dedication I think would make for a great movie, amnesia would probaly play a key role in the plot

and if any were made they would have to be at least 150min (2.5 hours) not a really short 90min (1.5 hour) movie. (when I say parralel story I mean with a different character based in the same sort of setting.)

Legend of Zelda. It will either be amazing or horrendously awful. I'm not deeply invested into the series so I won't be terribly effected either way and I'm curious to see what could be done with that universe.
that would be my number 1 choice, as long as they don't try and reference each and every game and cram too much in it will be fine. basing it off of Ocarina of Time of Twilight Princess would be great.

other than that, Killer 7 would make a cool film

Michael Bay's Katamari Damacy with:
Sam Worthington as the Prince,
Bruce Willis as the King of All Cosmos and
Megan Fox as... well, Megan Fox, who cares?

Zelda, Deus ex or Mass Effect. Because it can have other characters than those in the games...

No Valve games, I don't want to leave the theathers depressed. Half-life would be reaaally bad.

I'm going to go with none. Since every game->movie translation sucks pretty hard. In a make believe universe where games and comics aren't torn apart by the Hollywood machine just to turn a buck and actually get the story / characters right, I'd go with Assassins Creed.

I believe Left 4 Dead could make a decent average zombie movie. All zombies movies need is good character interaction which Left 4 Dead has.
