Video games that need a film adaption

[malcolm hex]

i wouldn't mind seeing a portal movie.
loz could be really good if they have an idea on which game they wanna focus the plot around.
contra would be another goodie too as well as ninja gaiden.

i would say castlevania but its getting a movie...just wish it wasn't the nerfherders who did the saw franchise making it.

Can't we please just keep the two mediums apart? Games work best as games.

*looks at Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Abyss anime*
*looks at first MK movie*
Not always the case.

Did anyone say Tetris yet?

Here's the problem: story. If the movie varies from the plot of the game too much, everyone will hate it. On the other hand, I don't really want a movie to look like one huge cut-scene from a game either (unless it's Zelda).

Games I want movie-ified:

Wind Waker

Portal

Cave Story

Suikoden: Tierkeris

Majora's Mask

MegaMan- listen to The Protomen, that's what I want. There's already a megaman 1 live action out there. Not official, but still quite good.

MMZero

Zelda 2: the adventure of Link- there's actually some great stuff to utilize.

Other stuff too.

I think Hollywood could learn a thing or two from video games, whether they adapt them directly or not.
And you know, when someone makes a movie of something, it doesn't cause what they based it on to cease to exists. It doesn't really HURT anyone...well, that can be debated...but anyway, you can't RUIN something unless you take each and every copy and mess around with it.

but anyway, you can't RUIN something unless you take each and every copy and mess around with it.

That doesn't mean it can't expose people to a great series in the worst possible way. Do you really want someone to be introduced to DBZ via Dragon Ball Evolution? Or Spirits Within to be someone's first exposure to Final Fantasy?

An Amnesia movie might be nifty.
Maybe even Fatal Frame.

[ZashTheHedehog]

Minecraft

Man, they should make a movie on that.

The funny thing is that Capcom themselves made that game. That game could be making a point or some kind of sick joke about the movie. It would make sense for them to make the game suck on purpose.

I always thought they made that abomination just to compete with MK (what with the photo sprites)... but why they'd do that I don't know it makes no sense.

Same deal with DB Evolution. It was developed by Dimps and was basically a re-skinned version of Shin Budokai.
As if I needed another reason to dislike Dimps.
