Uh dude, Kojima based Solid Snake off of Snake Pliskin in Escape from New York, not the other way around.

MG2 Kojima even matched up actors to the characters for design purposes

[EDIT]
ha ha ha, I never realized there was THAT much simularity. However, Charlie Sheen is a s**tty actor, and he would make the movie drop faster then a madrigras whore.

Goddamn, Christopher Walken is cool.
However, I like Kevin Spacey's impression of him more lol.

I think the entire Metal Gear Series as potential for a film adaptation (especially Metal Gear 2 ... oh man.)

However, I would rather Sons of Liberty didn't get made into a movie, just because I didn't like Raiden too much. [addsig]

Metal Gear Solid Two? Does it even have a coherent storyline?

And, duh, Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past would kick an ass or two.

LttP happens to be one of the other games. My top 3 personal games are Metal Gear Solid, Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past and Final Fantasy VII. There is no order, they're just the games that I could play for hours and never get bored. [addsig]

They are making a movie for FFVII. I really dont know the details, but it is about the aftermath of the incident, seph. comes back!

A link to the past...that would be good, nice and long, but very linear, Its just my personal prefernce, but Ocarania would be a good action movie, but thats just me. Actually now come to think of it I dont want to see movies from games, they will f**k it up majorly. I mean look at tomb raider (although it was nice to see angelia in the shower)

How could you all forget diablo 2! Great cinamatics too!

I agree Silent Hill has a great storyline along with Max Payne 2. I also am a fan of the Resident Evil games, movie was good too.

Yeah, Advent Children looks quite spiffy. There are a few games that I think would make great movies, but I don't know of any actors that could really pull it off. The production would have to be absolutely perfect or else it's not worth it. [addsig]

I personally think a game can be adapted for the screen. Its actually harder to go the other way around. The majority of problems is that the studios see it as a major money maker, so they get a 'popular' director and cast. Obviously they'll use anyone that's 'hot in hollywood' to do the part, they don't care about the final product just as long as people pay money for it.

This, on a personal note, pisses me off to no end. Taking that this is a MAJOR field of interest for me, I am very opinionated on the topic. But practically anything could be done correctly in an adaptation. What I am afraid of is that a video game-movie would be seen as an action movie by the general public, such that, that is exactly how it would be marketed and made.

Thankfully it seems that this trend is changing, thanks to comic book movies/films. I mean if you say that The Hulk wasn't a good adaptation and also an amazing film, there's something wrong with you, and I'm not talking about the Special Effects (I honestly wouldn't care how good they are as long as they serve their purpose, to bring realism to the story, which is not he intent on it's use most of the time.) Also, the way the X-Men universe is being fleshed out on screen is very satisfying. And I can only say that David Goyer did mericles with Blade.
Then there's Spider-Man, which is cheesy as hell, but to be honest, I wouldn't accept it any other way ... it is just a really cheesy series all together (perfect director too, since he IS the master of cheese lol.)

Also, think of the good adaptations of games. I mean, Mortal Kombat was a good movie ... believe it or not. If you don't think so, see it again ... the effects may be painful to watch, but my basis for a good movie is dependant on the development of characters and plot.

Also, 12 monkeys would make a good 'cinematic adventure' game Like Syberia.

And dammit, I want a good adaptation of: The Matrix, Die Hard (only the first one please), and Blade. They have yet to be done properly and they've all been done ... sadly.

Didn't realize I wrote that much ...

The First Mortal Kombat was a great movie, the second was cheesy...I have both, and I really hope they do the 3rd one justice. [addsig]
