What are the games that you would love to see adapted as an HBO/AMC/netflux tv series IN A COMPETENT WAY
>>64665287
None of those companies are capable of making anything that doesn't feel overproduced and forced.
>>64665376
the web series and short films on YouTube in the Fallout Universe are comfy af. I would love a big budget movie or series.
in this day and age I do t see why Bethesda havnt created a web series of their own for it.
>>64665376
There's already been multiple movies though.
>>64665287
>>64665376
I would love to see a series about completely new world with bizzare character and customs. Planescape Torment would be of those. But it would require a good director, someone who like dark gothic settings.
>>64665376
Walking Dead is kind of doing it.
Bu without futuristic weapons and mutants
>>64665518
yeah but no Mr Handys, no deathclaws, no pip boys, no 50s aethstetic etc
>>64665287
NetHack anthology series. Each episode in a season is devoted to a different class. The main character dies at the end of every episode for the first several seasons. Writers visualize distinct "players" for the characters, though the players are never mentioned or shown. The "players" get better over the seasons, and eventually ascend in the final season - or at least some of them do.
Spinoff series deals with conducts.
Needs to have a slick, stylish animated mini-series adaptation.
The Evil Within could a pretty good horror series, provided they actually deal with the plot properly (as opposed to the game itself, which ended on "wanna know more? buy the DLC!")
>>64665665
>Gordon Freeman
>talking
>>64665518
Mad Max is like Fallout on cocaine though
>>64665376
A series of seasons of 30-minute animated episodes based on the Fallout Universe. Perhaps a 30-episode season dedicated to the telling of a single game's plot. Fallout and especially Fallout: New Vegas are the prime candidates for direct adaptations, and beyond that there's no reason that a season couldn't tell a story outside of those already seen in the games.
The animation would be high-quality and detailed, with a visual-style reminiscent of something inspired by comic-books or anime. Lots of visual flair to things like motion and character-appearances to make each frame something worth looking at. Maybe invite some established Japanese animation-directors or animation-teams to give the series a distinctive look. Overall, something reminiscent of HBO's Spawn cartoon.
The violence would be graphic and realistic, much like the games that inspired it. Maybe even super slow-mo shots of things like heads exploding or limbs being severed, both to add visual panache and style, as well as to be reminiscent of the VATS sequences from the most recent games. However, none of the adult-content should be exaggerated (for shock-value) or toned-down (for mass-appeal) too far from the mood of the games, since the games struck a nice balance of pulpy maturity without turning into edge-lord bait.
Each episode would end with a minute-or-so-long Vault-Tech animated instructional-video featuring Vault-Boy, maintaining that edge of ironic or satirical humor that the games are known for. The topic of each Vault-Tech instructional-video that ended an episode would be a vague hint about the content of the next episode (i.e. if the next episode features the protagonist meeting a partner he's sexually interested in, the proceeding episode ends with a video on the topic of procreation in the post-nuclear world, warning about the effects of residual radiation on parents and how it can lead to mutant children, things like that).
Motherfucking Ron Perlman as the narrator.

Mad Max was an inspiration to Wasteland and Fallout series in the first place.
>>64665287
Mass Effect
>>64665818
>New Vegas
This please
I'd love me some Ceasar's legion
>>64665818
>Fallout
>prime candidates for direct adaptation
The old af turn based atari game? kek
Realistically the adaptations should start with 3
Clive Barker's Undying
Viggo Mortensen as the main character, Patrick. The Covenant family, pic related, from left to right, played by Mia Wasikowska, Nick Cave (because why the fuck not), Gary Oldman, Kate Winslet, and Oscar Isaac (and Doug Jones once he becomes that skinless, bloody thing).
>>64665885
kek
why didn't they cast Bruce Willis as Max in that movie
>>64665287
while LoK is very patrician, I don't think an adaptation will do good in the current market, mainly because the market has been oversaturated with vampires
but yeah, there's plenty of interesting story for a full series
>>64665890
I really hate how Bethesda didn't incorporate 90% of the stuff in Vegas to F4. fucking idiots.
>>64665952
MUH NIGGA
>>64665818
Imagine Quenting Tarantino working on it
>tfw Adam Sandler have enough money to sponsor 2 seasons of high budget series like this but he prefer to waste it on shit like Pixar and Ridiculous 6
>>64665902
>naw New Vegas
>>64665952
>mfw Undying will never be adapted into a series
>>64665885
eh there is that movie...
the main sin for filmmakers is that they trying to fit a video game into the movie, when it require at least 12 episode series for characters to grown on us without actually taking control of them
>>64665952
It could work like that tv series "Harper's Island" but with better writing and actors.
>>64665990
They hate Obsidian for making a better game. They will never reference any shit form Vegas
>>64666192
I hate nu-Bioware for being beyond shit
Also, Elder Scrolls 6 when?
>>64666004
I'd love to see Deus Ex, but with our luck we may get Human Revolution instead of the OG. (Or they may even adapt Invisible War just to fuck with everyone)
>>64665534
Tim Burton should do Planescape.
>>64665287
System Shock or the Original Bioshock
>>64665584
>no shitty memes
Yeah, Mad Max is basically a good version of Fallout.
Blackwell series
Goddamnit I fucking loved these
Short enough for a miniseries too
>>64666404
Damn this would be great.
>>64665287
None because the whole appeal to video games including their story is that by playing them you feel as if you are in the journey. Even the best story based video games would be subpar in other mediums if you stripped that away.
Mass Effect: Citadel
Each season focuses on a character or set of characters that live/work on the Citadel, similarly to The Wire
>S1 can be about C-Sec detectives
>S2 can be about Red Sand smugglers
>S3 can be a political thriller about a rising ambassador
>S4 can be about a merchant who chases Shepard around the galaxy to try and get his/her endorsement
you fuckers know you want it
Half the games were written and directed by some chick too, so everybody can feel nice and diverse. It's a shame that the vampire fad seems to be pretty much over.
Someone should also do Baldur's Gate, starring The Rock as Minsc.
>>64666537
>all that orcs slipping on ice, orcs being kicked on spikes action
Nice
gee what else
>>64665518
You're an idiot.
>>64665990
You're a fucking idiot. Obsidian owns that shit.
>>64666192
No...it would cost more money. Are you guys seriously this dumb? You can't just steal other people's work.
>>64666630
muh nugga
>>64666665
So close
>>64666728
You better be memeing, nigger
>>64666404
Would love that, but they'd have to cast someone more likable than whoever voiced Rosangela. Holy shit but I wished the series would revolve around her aunt instead at points.
could very well work
>>64666570
>S4 can be about a merchant who chases Shepard around the galaxy to try and get his/her endorsement
kek, would watch
>>64666308
>Johnny Depp as Nameless One
>wacky gags
no
>>64666091
Why do people invent nonsense likei this to explain why video game adaptations tend to fail? They fail because the producers don't care about doing them right. And no, doing them right doesn't require a 12 episode series.
>>64666971spooky
>>64666571
I'd rather a movie
I've been wanting this for a while.
>>64667019
Its an interesting idea to have Woody Allen act in a movie he doesn't direct himself especially if its weird.
>>64666894
The game is full of wacky gags.
>>64666600
>The Rock as Minsc and with a hamster
>Peter Dinklage as Jan
>Jeff Bridges as Edwin
Would watch
Movie script should mine elements from the original short, the video game and the excellent radio play adaption.
>>64665890
Half of the voice-actors were from HBO shows anyway.
Including Caesar.
>>64666970
There wasn't a single movie based on game done right and never will be. 1,5 hour is too little for any game movie to work
>>64665287
r8
LA Noire. But it's already a movie basically, with rudimentary gameplay and digitized real actors acting out story, so who cares?
I don't understand why would anyone want Fallout to be transferred into linear medium when variability is the entire point.
>>64667168
The oriignal novel have like 10 pages, dude. It would hardly fit ino a single movie.
>>64665741
You could easily do it like those dime-a-dozen Mohammad movies, where he's never shown on screen, or its from his perspective.
>>64665818
You, I like you. Especially the vault boy segments, thats fucking genius.
>>64666630
Harvester would have been fucking fantastic if it took itself a little more seriously.
A lot of the menace and intrigue was sabotaged by attempts to be funny, which was a shame.
A man with amnesia waking up in a bizarre twisted 1950's town isolated from the rest of civilization with cultural undercurrents of violence and grotesque sexual taboos that culminates in a bizarre, surreal, dream-like exploration of violence as a narrative tool is one of the absolute coolest and more eerie concepts for a videogame I have ever heard. It's just a shame they didn't run with it like they should have.
>>64667237
This would work
I also imagine Morte actor to do a mafia brooklyn accent
And Modron of course should be voice by Dan Castallaneta like in original game.
directed by David Fincher
pls make it happen
>>64667343
They could do a vault boy segmens like in Robocop tv series when they made a cartoon like commercial segments in a humoristic way.
>>64667307
>Novel
It was a short story with plenty of potential to be expanded on. In fact, both the game and radio play did. Dude.
>>64667237
Dakkon should be an older asian dude.
Fall from grace an older blonde chick.
A Duke Nukem series on Cinemax made by the team that makes Banshee.
>>64667429
That would be fucking awesome.
So, Verhoeven Fallout film when?
I think it could make for a really fun, minimal dialogue cartoon.
Some episodes could be more like one of those Wile E Coyote/Road Runner cartoons, where Bowser or just some generic cannon fodder enemies try to kill or spring a trap on Mario and/or Luigi while they obliviously dodge(or deliberately and deftly dodge and reverse the trap like Bugs Bunny).
Some could be like Popeye, Mario & Luigi trying to solve a basic task taken to Herculean levels like fixing plumbing, or simply storming a castle to save Bowser, before dosing with a powerup to win the day.
You could even something like Courage the Cowardly Dog, with Luigi driven to wits' end trying to solve something with monsters or ghosts.
>>64667284
>I don't understand why would anyone want Fallout to be transferred into linear medium when variability is the entire point.
This is like saying why make a movie out of a novel when using your imagination is the entire point.
>>64667988
>to save Bowser
To save Peach from Bowser, I mean.
>>64667226
It has nothing to do with length. Why do you invent excuses like this?
>>64667369
Can you recommend something similar? I want a movie where the protagonist wakes up fuck knows where and has to figure shit out.
>>64668174
Dark City.
>>64667405
No Kenobi or Solo movie please. Just this and the second one and a suitable conclusion.
>>64668072
No, you can translate the same plot on screen.
But all the fun in Fallout is about running around, searching ruins, talking to variety of wasteland degenerates, none relevant to actual plot. Actual plot is usually boring.
>>64666933
>implying anyone could play Minsc in a way that didn't feel forced and retarded
>>64668642
And you can translate Fallout's plot into a movie. And someone could argue that all the fun in a book is to imagine everything yourself.
Why make excuses? Game-to-movie adaptations fail because producers don't give a shit, and not because >muh interactivity or >muh long length or >muh silent protagonist.
>>64668548
Why does all these kind of Kotor art pictures always depict Revan as bigger than Malak?
Really, it's odd as fuck since being a big guy was one of Malak's defining attributes while Revan being kinda average all around without the mask was his
This would be glorious.
>>64668701
Young Shwarzenegger would fit, but now i don't really see a buffed actor who could act as a likeable mentally challenged berserker
>>64668431
>Penny Arcade
Go fuck yourself.
A movie based on MYST would work if handled correctly, although it would fair much better as a series.
With that in mind, I think it might be better to make a movie based on the MYST books instead.
>>64665287
Forbidden Siren 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_HbYTyodfo
Who will play her in the inevitable Hollywood adaption?
>>64669061
She will be played by (insert popular actress I am familiar with, regardless of whether or not she is in any way suitable for the role).
A Bayonetta series would be fucking awesome.
>>64668965
Seconding this, MYST would make a great series.
Also Don't Starve as a Burton-esque movie
>>64665287
Obligatory 40k TV series post.
>from the rise of the Emperor and the search for the Primarchs to the Great Crusade and then the Horus Heresy
>the Emperor and the Primarchs all have their characters fully fleshed out
And then maybe some movies for the stuff that happen afterwards, particularly the 13th Black Crusade.
A Series based on RDR would be fucking awesome. If it were a movie it would have to be a two parter, the first movie beign about John Marston and the second aboutJack trying to avenge his father
>>64666728
considering it's a Bethesda licensed game now, and Obsidian used their engine... hmmm...
>>64669258
So expensive it's not even funny
>>64669759
>Jack
No thank you
>>64665287
This would either be great or so shit its great anyway depending on who handles it.
I still want the movie but NOT with Jamie Foxx as lynch.
Posted this in an earlier thread, but a contract-of-the-week miniseries with vague conspiracy shit tying the hits together would be amazing if they did it right.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DOKzTHaPfM
Just don't fucking touch the dialog and hire Amy Hennig as a writer.
>>64670775
But the first movie was only ok and the last one horseshit
>>64670934
That's because they completely abandoned any concept of stealth (the central point of the games) after a few minutes and just made a bang bang shoot 'em up movie.
Time and place for those things, and Hitman isn't it.
