Yeah but I can admit they suck. I can also admit everything else coming out sucks too, like super hero movies. I'd still rather see a thing I'm familiar with botched than ignorantly enjoy a Superman movie because I don't understand what they fucked up from the comics.

Not really, each failure when judged on a case by case basis tends to suffer from alot of issues that have nothing to do with being a video game adaptation.

If it was just an honest straight adaptation and it completely sucked then yeah, people would realize that it's terrible. But they never do straight adaptations so it always leaves people thinking theres still a chance.

go to youtube and find a gameplay video of something you've never played before.

try to watch it for 90 minutes and tell me at what point you give up.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution could be adapted into a movie with ease. The conflict between natural humans and the augmented cyborgs. The protagonist could struggle with keeping their humanity. It's been done before, so it would be panned as a RoboCop rip-off.

>The story follows a middle-ranking Jian warrior's quest for the truth about his past who must weigh his loyalties between his lifelong mentor with a dark history and his new commander who obliterates all in the Jians' way while interacting with the morally and financially bankrupt citizens of a flashy and overgrown concrete jungle.

A Deus Ex movie could be sick.
Mass effect might work too if done right.
They are commercially viable too.

A Bioshock movie could be great too, but it would require a big budget in combination with a lot more suggestive presentation. A silent protagonist who traverses through rapture and us seeing flashbacks or visions of the like, slowly filling in the story until we get to a big daddy action scene encounter and then the big reveal leading up to meeting Andrew Ryan...but as a traditionally told story I just don't see it working, or if it does work it won't be very interesting.

Somebody needs to make those VN's made by that one guy who loves King Crimson into movies right now.

>Bible Black
>Discipline
>Starless

Could you imagine that shit? People are starting to get really experimental with sex in film, I see this as the logical conclusion.

Possible directors could include:

>David Lynch
Master of sex, the scenes in Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive were masterfully done.

>Brian De Palma
His original plan for Body Double called for unsimulated sex. If anyone in Hollywood would be down for it it would be him.

>Nicholas Winding Refn
The man has style and autism in spades. What else do you need to make a VN?
>>
>>63370589
I think the problem with video game movies is often that they're written by people who haven't played the games enough (if at all), and therefore don't understand how to adequately capture its essence.

The Hitman example someone posted above is a good one, actually. Make it a heist movie, but instead of stealing gold you shoot a guy. I think anyone who's played a lot of Hitman can see that's the way to go, yet they didn't do that at all.

Wario was a villain who was supposed to be the opposite of Mario.
Mario is nice and spends hiw whole time saving princesses and kicking Koopa asses, Wario is a greedy asshole.
Waluigi is the same thing for Luigi, and only exists because they needed characters to fill the selection screens in Mario Party and Mario Kart.
>>
>>63376125
And of course, now that Luigi has his own little following (which makes sense since the Paper Mario and DS rpgs gave him much more of a character than Mario ever had), Waluigi also has a post-ironic "fanbase" that makes shitty fanart, rom hacks and say he is the best thing ever.
