If Hollywood were to start taking video game movies seriously and actually try to make good video game adaptations like the current superhero movie boom, which video games would you like to see adapted?

Me:
>Metroid
>Devil May Cry
>Street Fighter
>Deus Ex
>Metal Gear Solid
>Mortal Kombat
>>

The reason there's a "Superhero Boom" is because one of the largest media empires bought a comic book company and decided to wring as much out of it as they could.

Actual movie companies buying Game companies doesn't seem very likely but then again that happened to Midway.

Idk, to be fair, superhero movies have been getting bigger since the turn of the millennium.

I could see some game companies, like maybe Nintendo, working out some kind of deal.

That movie has nothing to do with Resident Evil except the names.

I'm just waiting for MGS starring David Hayter

>>333474240
Not really too enthused on seeing movie adaptions. I don't want to watch a movie based off games, I want to play games.

And I mean, any videogame adaption not done by Uwe Boll is fine. That includes Street Fighter, DOOM, Mortal Kombat. Corny popcorn flicks. Not sure what the fuck people expect out of a fucking videogame adaption.

Mass Effect 1 for sure. MGS3 would be great too.
>>
>>333474240
None, honestly. Stories in video games suck because they exist to justify and contextualize gameplay. The only candidates I can think of are games that are basically already movies, like MGS or The Last of Us.

>A fun fucking movie?
Surprise, that's what you got.

As for RE, the only irredeemable one was Extinction due to the director's fucking mary sue donut steel being in the limelight.

Otherwise, Retribution had fucking frozen zombie nazis fighting Leon Kennedy. Afterlife had Luther West and the benefit of being a Dawn of the Dead ripoff, and Apocalypse/original were legit enjoyable.

>>333477121
You want to talk about the single worst thing in adaptations? Charm. There is never a single kooky thing that survives from videogame sources into Adaptations with appropriate levity. I mean that's even a miracle if they get into the movies. No one in Resident Evil flicks reference Queen songs.

Shit remember the Super Mario Brothers Movie?

The Metal Gear Solid games practically are movies, anon.

God of War kinda already was filmed with Clash of the Titans. I bet it would've been better for the movie if themed like that.

Metal Gear Solid 1

Should be managable.

The Witcher serires would be great. If possible please adopt it in a tv format akin to GoT. Imagine the possibilities and tits in every episode.
Im aware theres already tv witcher but, that is some polish crap or something.
>>
>>333477519
But in my humble opinion, thats what turned me on the most when i started playing that japanese MGS demo i had back then. Sets a nice atmosphere to the game and you want to engage into the story.

MGS1 would be perfect

Superhero movies basically exploded due to X-Men and Spiderman and maybe Batman.

The people who buy the crap and merch are the ones that decide the way of the industry. Its not the companiesnl fault that you like to eat up their shit, its all our fault, the consumer

Make it a short movie, make sure the director actually knows how to make a movie with little dialogue.

Don't use Known western actors, if possible try to get actual asians. Don't do kids, try young teens. Get a stunt double that's an actual kid to make all the monsters look really big.

try to get the story from before the castle a little more focus.

I remember

>First Resident Evil movie
>Holy shit get is real
>Watch it
>No Jill

Really why? the story is basically there in the game, they just needed to take that script and adapt it. Why was this difficult? and who the fuck is that bitch?

>>333474240
>inFAMOUS
>Mirror's Edge
>Split/Second directed by Michael Bay
>Resistance (although the story of 3 in a movie would be nice)

Wolfenstein would have made an awesome 80's B movie.

>>333474240
Halo
Resident Evil
Metal Gear
Zelda by Studio Ghibli
Metroid

Fallout

Why would you want film adaptions of video games unless their about the extended universe of the games?

We're at a point where their capable of sharing it's own story at the ability any movie can and even more because the player can take part in the actions and consequence.

Unless it's a movie adaption about how little timmy blew his fucking leg off and the ancient evil came out of his leg so the chosen one has to get up to fight him and then it ends for the game to wrap up.

Video Game movies would just end up like Comic book movies where critics always slate them and the fans judge them purely on how much "source material" is used.

But yes, I would like to see more good attempts at video games into movies.

The first one was alright.
