Games you think would make good movies...
 

I think Zelda and Metroid would make good movies. Maybe Halo, if they added some story from the prequel book. And the Legacy of Kain would make a good series of movies, starting with Kain's story and continuing with Raziel's. And call me crazy, but I think Kinetica would make a cool movie too!

Re: Games you think would make good movies...
 

Now there's some idea! :fuzgrin:

I'd like to see Square's Vagrant Story on the wide-screen...
Kewl ^___^!

Rock n' Roll Racing 2. The book has a good story in it. I would like to see it expanded in a movie form.

Zelda.... yes aslong as the go for the darkness of it all, and remember to have that mystical HUGE hurley full of odd creaturs...

Deus Ex would make a good movie. Actualy, in my latest PC Gamer magazine, they had rumors of that Deus Ex will be made a movie... it involved Eminem, but I hope that is not true :fuzemb:

The Syphon Filter trilogy on PS1 would make several great action Movies.
Also Lord of the Rings would make a good Movie. ;)

Curse you, I was going to say Lord Of the Rings. But how could you forget *gasp* The Sims! We all need some good documentaries covering everything from murdering family members, sex, and making peoples lives miserable. The perfect movie that covers everything cool...

But yea, Syphon FIlter would be cool. And Super Maro Brothers 2! THey managed to jack the first movie up out of a normal game, imagine what Hollywood can do with a game whacked to begin with. Medal of Honor already has close enough stuff... Um... Ugh, my minds just blank right now. Maybe after I get some sleep, I'll come up with more.

halo would be an ecellent movie. Metroid would too. I think metal gear solid would make a good series as well.


and half-life!!!!!!!!!!!!! that would be great!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm... Metal Gear Solid, of course. That would be a great movie.

Either that, or something from the Myst series. All of those games are practically movies anyway. Ooooh... or maybe Grand Theft Auto.

id say Halo, Zelda, and metalgear solid movies would be the best because hey all have great story lines.

Tetris, Super Breakout, Baby Universe, Lemmings, Fluid and Pocket Tanks would make really phat films, in my opinion.

And if any of those actually have been turned into movies, I'm going to sulk.

Actually, I was thinking how Worms might make a good film. Don't ask me to do it, because I'll be too busy watching The Sims Movie, lol. Oh dear.

How about a Sim City or Theme Hospital motion picture?

Monopoly: The Film

Um...oh, I give up. At least there was one serious suggestion in there, I suppose.

How about Splinter Cell I know it was a book in the first place, so why can't it make good film material?

ya it could be cause ive never read the book. but i have the game and if uve played the game ud prolly think it would be a crappy movie.

How do you know it was a book first?:fuzconf: :fuzconf:

I think Mega Man would make an interesting movie.

Because all the Tom Clancy games are, he's the author. Did you really not know?
I could have sworn the second one already was...
No it didn't! It was the worst storyline I've seen in a game for a long time. Although we can't blame it, it is only a mere shoot-em-up...

Neverwinter nights would be a great movie, it has such good story line in the game and graphics.

Oh, so you based it on assumption... tut, tut. Actually, the game is only based in the Tom Clancy universe (It was never a book). The truth is, Tom's only part in Splinter Cell's story was to look it over and give it the thumbs up if it was respectful of his good name. Did you really not know?

Sarcasm, right? I pretty sure there wasn't... but you never know.

Are you kidding me? u obviously havent read the Fall of Reach or any research on Halo, Halo has a great story line. Certainly not the best but if you really what Halos about you will realize hwo great the story is

First off, the game doesn't explain everything from the novel. You should realize that. Jeebers...

And second, you wouldn't be ranting like a dope crazed baboon over how great the storyline was if Halo wasn't such a good game. Face it, your a brainless game players whos been consumed and made a fanatic. You'll boast that everything about Halo is awesome, even if they put little pink dinosaurs as your allies.

Indeed sarcasm, if everyone failed to reckonize what I was getting at was how MGS2 has such long movies and you might as well rent your controller out for an hour or two. Not saying this as a bad thing.

Mojoman... very good. Indeed I was making an assumption, as I have not gotten into any of the Tom Clancy books or games. I have played the Splinter Cell demo, but it wasn't really my thing. Give me MGS as a spy game anyday.

Read what now?
And I didn't even get to read the manual, as some people forget to put them in the case when they lend the game to you. That's right! I said lend! I don't understand why so many people bought it anyway, it's easier to borrow it.
I said the storyline of Halo, not someone elses theories, not some book that isn't part of the game.
Imagine it "Level Three: Read the Halo book." Great fun really.
No, "Halo book" might have a great storyline, Halo itself, goes like this: We crash landed on a planet, we must get off. There are new people attacking. We must get off. We got off.
Seriously that's it.
Why don't you find some Halo forums to live in? The will accept you. Most people don't go to another game forum and rave fanatically about another game.

... and I'm done.

from that point of veiw fax, it does sound a bit crap story line, but it has got some awards for the storyline.

why not borrow it? i dont know, why not borrow anything, why not borrow your friends socks, or his toothbrush, i dont know. I think most people think its funner to have your own then have someone elses things.

majic can u please describe a dope crazed baboon?
and i ya i will boast about Halo when in fact if idiots actually went deeper into the game then the levels you just play, maybe its because you played Halo with the sound off or you just didnt listen but if you did you would realize their is just as good story line in their then any other good game. If you think that the game is all about we crash. we land on planet. we get off planet. you must have been playin some edited version or something. Anyone can say somting like that for games with great storylines like MetalGearSolid 2, We get on ship. we get off ship. we blow up metalgear.we survive.

and majic im not brainless, i just know what it feels like to be good at something, im sorry u dont

facsmilie are you on crack? seriously, if bungie created the game and the books they obviously arent someones theories, they are facts about the series

He stated the book and theories seperately. That means hes talking aobut other peoples theories of stuff. Not Bungie's.

And it might as well be fact, most shoot em' ups have bad storylines. The GAME Halo gives nothing of a storyline. I'm sorry. The game itself cannot be turned into a full book. Compared with other shoot em' ups, its storyline is great. But overall, no its not.

But you finish it, and then all it's good for is multiplayer. And you can't tell me that multiplayer is worth playing all the time.
But according to you, people think it's 'funner' to spend money on something they didn't have to. I said the lending bit to annoy you anyway. Did it work?

Good at what? We are talking about Halo's storyline, not how great you say you are at playing it. And being good at a game isn't something normal people rant and rave about.
I'm sorry you do.
Keyword: Normal.

Spell my name right, bitch! I would have the courtesy to do it to you.

No. Sorry. I really am sorry. It hurts me to tell you that I was not out of it when I dissed your precious game.

Nuff said.

Oh, so one game makes a series now does it?
And don't say about Halo 2, it doesn't exist yet. And when it does, it's still not a series.

Take that! *Dusts off hands.*

no sry saying lending doesnt annoy me one bit, secondly, ims aying im good at the multiplayer not the story line, ur gettin things mixed up. And ya i can tell u multiplayer is worth playin all the time. u dont know me so how coul u make that statement? lol u think u make me spell your name right? i eman c'mon the last thing im gonna do now is respect u fscasmlie ( how u like that for spellin ur name right ). Bitch. actually the series im talkin bout is the Fall of Reac, the game , and the soon to be Halo2 and the soon to be novel THE FLOOD.

nuff said biAtch

Actually hate to break it to you guys he is right. Bungie personally oversaw almost every detail put into the fall of reach. Eric Nylund when writing the novel, had to get most of his facts from the "Halo Bible" as Bungie also states. Bungie basically gave him all of the plot, and he had to fill in only a few gaps, and write the story in his style, and interpretation of the facts. This Halo Bible contains all the information that creators of novels based on halo, etc must follow guidelines. It wasnt all bungie that made this. So that part is true for you guys. But he is also right like I said because they were a huge part in both the novels, Fall of Reach and the one coming out in April. It wasnt just written and they said you can have the rights etc. The personally oversaw it. need I keep repeating myself eh? ;)

The same will be done with the next Halo book "The Flood" which is completely based on the game.

Halo is not just a mindless shooter, if you look at the true depth in it you will see that. But thats right, most people dont want to look deeper into things than you have to plus the added fact their are people here who only have PS2. I truly feel sorry for those who cant appreciate it. You dont know what your missing out on. Oh well no need to argue about it because I know that Halo is one of the best games ever created, and I do have other games too, that I enjoy like Halo. But Halo 2 will once again prove most of you wrong with what a great game it is and the overall great story, and conflict.

I am finished if you feel the need to argue with me and try to discredit me go right ahead. But I will tell you I really dont give a rats ass about if you think it sucks etc. I have my opinion you can have yours, I will leave it at that.

-Al

well put Alexander lloyd

Good point you have there Al. A lot of people don't look in depth into things like that and that is a shame. After all its the stories of these games which counts ya know? I feel that is one of the most important things about certain games like Halo and others. Before you can make a great game you need to be able to write. And its the writeing that which makes the rest flow. For me I think of games as interactive stories. Its the story that counts and gives these games life. Not the gameplay. That is why many developers make these games like movies. Infact its one step below from actually makeing a motion picture. The process is very similar.

But your point is well put.

Another game that I think would make a great movie would have to be the Cantra series. Once again there is a good story surrounding that game aswell.

ya contra would be really cool, i think there have been some movies released as games already. like metalGear 2 ;)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We aren't talking about the books! We are saying HALO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! does not have a good storyline! Not the books! Halo! The game! The game called Halo.

Before I get into quoting dilweed here's post, I must say, stop being such a lazy shit and spell properly, I only just managed to understand it at all.


No, your getting things mixed up, because we aren't talking about you apparant skill at the game, we are talking about the storyline! Stop sidetracking, it will only prolong your defeat (Just so you don't get things mixed up again in that small brain of yours, I mean defeat in argument, not in the game).

Oh my, how very grown up of you. It's great that you can be mature like the adult you may happen to stumble upon being one day when you try really hard.

I just used that! Think up your own stuff.

Well, as your own ally has just pointed out, 'THE FLOOD' is the book of the game. Last time I was in my first year at school, that equaled two. Two does not make a series.

I remembered reading a long time ago someoen talking about Halo's story. Its in this review: http://gamefaqs.com/console/xbox/review/R28739.html

That explains how much of the story isn't even original. Heh. Anyways, I have the rest of Spring Break to cehck out those books from a library and read through them. Yay for prooving facts!

im not even gonna argue with u faggots, u have no fukin idea what ur talkin about and my fingers get tired typin stuff that fukin dumbass fats kids dont even understand. BITCH

Hey, Masterchief, WHATEVER.

if you don't like what everyones been saying, just don't reply, it just causes more aguements, and it goes off what the thread was originally made for.

But anyway, You may think i'm strange, but i think Sonic the Hedgehog would make a good film. (If anybody thinks otherwise, please don't start arguing)

Your imense amount of idiocy in saying many cuss words shows the true infantilness of your personality. You've just lost the remenants of respect I have for you.

I'll jsut give you a warning now, I think... or, whatever.

Max Payne, its already going to be a movie but it'll be great, also Deus Ex would be an exelint movie, it has a great story line, that and Theif would make a good movie, the story, the character, the, mood, the technology, everything.....its just...so..COOL!!

Yes well the Halo Story SUCKED ok it just SUKED the story line was crap, the game was good, it was fun ya'know but the story line sucked...just down right sucked..the book was good...but the story line...*sigh* Bungie..please think before your going to make a game as pointless and story line less as halo

Abes Son, I think your trying to jump on the bandwagon or something. It wasn't that bad. As I said before, compared to other shooters, its fairly good.

Hahaha, I never realised how funny you were!
'fats kids' AHAHAHA.
'fukin' OOHAHAH.
'my fingers get tired typin stuff' HehehehaHAHA.
Ah... good times...
I'm really going to be sad when you commit suicide when you realise that a year to wait for Halo 2 is too much.

Damn right it would! Although they have already made 'Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie' they could make a newer/better one.

Oh, have they, sorry i didn't know that. So they should make a newer one
