I got around to beating Freedom Fighters last night and when the game was over I was sitting here thinking about how cool of a movie this game would make. So, I thought I'd see what you guys would think could cut it as a GOOD motion picture.

You can assume that whatever game you choose would be made properly, as in adapted to film in a way so that it doesn't lose story and that it isn't boring. (But if it doesn't have a good story to begin with *cough* house of the dead *cough* it'll be crap. Also, by boring I mean lifeless, storyless, and stupid.)

Place your ideas below

I also think the entire Metal Gear series would make an awesome film series. [addsig]

Definately Silent Hill. Possibly Fear Effect. [addsig]

The Silent Hill games could make a really good transition if the director wasn't too heavy handed (as with Resident Evil). They need to concentrate more on the suspense and awareness that there's monsters around rather than throwing them in your face simply to show off how 'brilliant' the special effects are.

That said, Castlevania would make a great balls-out actioner!

*edit* Kage beat me to it

Vagrant Story on the playstation, but perhaps I'm wrong. Its story was great - really twisting and intruiging, and the style it was presented in (comic book speech bubbles in the in-game engine) was absolute genius. Perhaps its overall coolness would be lost in a transition to film, with speech and , most of all, actors. The game itself was hugely cinematic, in particular the intro (the ACTUAL intro, as opposed to the FMV sequence as it loaded), which felt to me like a movie trailer. [addsig]

I see that as more of an anime venture, like Fear Effect, purely to keep the look and feel of the game. [addsig]

I liked the res evil movie actually, as has everyone I've talked about it with. Its NOT a good adaption of the game but its a cool movie in its own right, provided you try and view it as seperate to the games. [addsig]

I found it unbareable. Sometimes I just had no idea what was going on, I found almost the entire cast of 2-d characters boring (I still can't remember any names, which at least half had zero character and were simply there to die), that hive queen was the most annoying thing in existence, and the soundtrack was just random moments of noise. Oh, and don't forget the horrible SFX on that Licker, and some horrible logic holes (why does that laser corridor wait until one guy is left alive before splicing him into many pieces? why didn't it just use that in the first place instead of one lazer? Was it toying with them or what? Oh, and there's that big trap door in the train. WHY?! ). And don't forget the fact that everything was either made of shiny aluminum or concrete. Urgh.

I was surpsied it made no attempt to be scary as well, not inculding the one million cheap shots, because that's just cheating.

God, I hated that movie.

[EDIT]: hehe, Can you feel the love? [addsig]

Haha, all good points mate, but I guess it just appealed to me in the sense that it was entertaining. [addsig]
