Between this and Ratchet and Clank, are video game movies just doomed?
>video game movie fails
Must be nice to have been born after 2010 to think this is news.
Hopefully.
>>82933895
No, /v/irgins are born everyday.
Same for capefags
>>82933895
You know Food Fight? The movie that was made and largely bankrolled start to finish by amateurs outside the studio system who wanted total creative control?
This is what you get when a movie like that is finished to release standard. A forgettable movie. Studios don't make so many movies to flood out the little guy with his great one-shot, they make that many because no matter how great they are, some movies just don't sell and you end up losing a lot of money if you don't spread your bets.
>>82933895
Wait till Warcraft and Assassins Creed come out
See, this I have no problem failing, because it's a movie based off an old as shit mobile game. Plus it's like 6 years late to the punch.
the stories of video games are just filler to advance the player from one area to another, so they dont translate well at all to the big screen
though its kinda funny that a game with absolutely no story at all still manages to produce a shit movie
>>82933989
If you can't smell the putrid stink of critical and financial failure by watching the Warcraft trailers, I don't know what to tell you.
>>82934057
>Plus it's like 6 years late to the punch.
This is what I'm wondering about. When I was in highschool, AB was everywhere, why is it coming out now?
Screw you guys. Street Fighter is going to be an awesome movie, and Jean Claude van Dam is a total badass. And Raoul Julia as Bison? That guy's just a class act who will be making movies we'll all love for years to come.
>>82934102
I'll watch it to support Davd Bowie's son.
so better game
>>82934171
I'm watching it because orc girls are my fetish.
>>82934070
Sometimes. RPGs and adventure games do have a strong focus on story, but they have the opposite problem - the story is too extensive to adapt.
>>82933895
Isn't Nintendo making animated featured films?
are they doomed?
>we live in a world where Angry Birds got a fucking movie about 6/7 years too late
>and Minecraft got a story mode game, which will probably be made into a movie later
>>82934378
I can only see it ending terribly unless NoA is in charge of it.
>>82934378
Lightning will strike twice and they become Marvel 2.0
>>82934347
RPGs also usually have the luxury of being told over the course of way more than 2 hours so even if your protag is kind of a jerk there's tons of time to develop him
Dunno, this looks kinda funny. It'll probably fucking suck though.
>>82934378
They were waiting to see how Angry Birds and Warcraft perform.
Whether its critically, or finacially, they might not bother at this point.
>>82934378
Nintendo already has a very successful film franchise with one of their properties (Pokemon).
And it seems like, to kids, anything Mario, Sonic, or Pikachu do can do no wrong
>>82934383
last I checked Rob McElhenney was directing the Minecraft movie
>>82933989
Warcraft will be a C at best. Assassin's Creed is either going to be the best video game movie up to that point, or turn out to be a pile of shit.
That said, the AC trailer gave me some hope
>>82934378
Honestly, I can see Nintendo going stingy on the budget, they'll probably shit out low budget movies like R&C.
The Five Nights at Freddy's movie could be really good if the director wasn't so bad and they got someone who knew horror.
>>82935008
I still haven't heard much about that.
>>82935008
The Five Nights at Freddy's GAMES could be good if they had the exact same things.
>>82935008
Dude the audience of FNAF is primarily 5 year olds on Youtube. Of fucking course they're going to hire a director whose best work is Monster House.
>>82935008
is FNAF still relevant?
I remember it was only around for like a couple months before its creator decided to stop milking it
>>82933895
>Implying Critics aren't swatting it down because it doesn't conform to their pro-immigration liberal agenda
>>82933989
Warcraft is going to fucking bomb. AssCreed might have a better shot assuming they don't Prince of Persia it, which they might
>>82935186
Are we still pushing this meme?
>>82935109
I kind of liked Monster House. It was no masterpiece, or anything, but it's a nice flick to have on in the background while decorating the house for Halloween.
You do have a point about how all of the other movies that director had done is crap though. I mean that Poltergeist remake was utterly pointless.
>>82935186
They're swatting it down probably because a lot of their favorite actors are wasting their talents on Angry Birds. The only VA who makes sense for this garbage is Josh Gad, who's essentially just playing bird Olaf.
Video Game movies are a bad idea for one simple reason. Video games in many cases tell their stories through gameplay.
If you take away the gameplay, then you take away a major tool by which video games entertain. It's the equivalent of taking away sound and color for a modern movie. Taking away the gameplay cripples what makes a game special.
Went to "see" it yesterday.
It had some funny parts.
>>82933895
i still remember the first commercial i ever heard for the Mortal Kombat movie...
"Street Fighter. Super Mario Brothers. Double Dragon.
What do these movies all have in common?THEY SUCKED
DUN-DUN-DUN-DUDUN-DU-DUN-DUN-DUDUNDUN-DUNT
PREPARE YOURSELF!
...and pretty much every video game movie since then has sucked, too.
Except for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, that shit was TIGHT.
>>82935221
Well, the fact that it actually, kinda makes sense does make it amusing.
>>82934383
Telltale don't make video games so its more like minecraft the interactive choose your own adventure with no choices experience.
>>82935109
Ironically, Monster Hunter was actually pretty good, motion capture aside.
>>82936622
you forgot to outline all the triangles in red and reference the masonic all-seeing eye
>>82936622
That's pretty neat
>>82934404
>NoA
>not wildly incompetent
>>82936775
>Hunter
Fucker, if you taunt me about a monster hunter movie, I will find you.
>>82935520
Monster House had Dan Harmon & Rob Schrab writing
>>82937050
>Universal Studios Japan has a MonHun exhibit
>>82936970
I cant wait for 2 different English versions of the same movie
American audiences cant relate to a character that spells with an "ou" after all
>>82933989
Assassin's Creed gives me hope solely on the fact that they're doing the smart thing: Tell the story in the same world but outside the main characters
>>82934171
I'm sure he needs your support at this difficult time when he's just come into at a minimum, I'd say tens of millions of dollarydoos
I mean his grief for his father is literally so great that he'll never work again if this overblown turkey of a movie doesn't have your support, because between the depression of losing a parent, which as we all know nobody in the history of humanity has ever managed, and the lack of an income, he will surely starve to death
>>82935199
PoP movie is thebest video game movie made for now
>>82937292
They fucked up with that movie the minute they included all that Abstergo shit. Even the games are ashamed of that nonsense at this point.
>>82935199
Prince of Persia is the best video game movie in that it is just mediocre.
>>82933895
That depends, did it flop in the box office?
>>82937292
It would have been a lot better if they had cast Kanye West as the lead.
>>82937856
god that fucking Kanye West song sucked. The trailer was pretty promising otherwise
>>82937958
It was an odd choice. That's the worst song on Yeezus. They could have used Jesus Walks. That's a more fitting Kanye song for this.
Better for all this to happen in a short span of time than over the course of years.
It's inevitable that studios would think something like this would be the next "comic book movie" fad, but it's quite clear it's going to crash n' burn hard.

>>82933895
They keep focusing on making movies out of games that don't even have plots in the first place. That's a big part of the problem.
>>82934070
Yeah that's what I'm talking about. Adapt a video game with an actual plot and maybe this will be better.
>>82938272
Sometime I forget how big Pokemon The Movie was. It got a fucking tie in song in the late 90s back when only big blockbusters like Will Smith's Men in Black got tie in songs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCFlT_FYnEE
>>82934144
Street Fighter is, unironically, one of my favorite movies. It's the best.
>>82938578
That movie has one good line.
Bison: "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday."
>>82933895
I never liked ratchet and clank, dunno why everybody has a huge boner for it.
never played angry birds because it just looks like a generic casual game.
call me when they make movies about good games
>>82938564
Damn, haven't heard this song in a minute.
My sisters bought the soundtrack, and I listened to it all the time.
A part of me is glad to see these pop-culture humour cartoons struggling and being unsuccessful.
VIDYA KINO XDDDXD
>>82937050
japs are too busy making pokemon knock off movies
>>82933895

>>82938856
Well, they're busy doing that and using Pikachu to promote the release of Straight Outta Compton
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aoLxNMlxYs
>>82938969
I guarantee it won't get above 25% on RT.
>>82933989
Warcraft is so bad the developers said that it wasn't canon.
>>82938969
what? it actually looks pretty good and china is gonna eat it like rice, pretty sure it won't have any problem making back the money they wasted on production.
I just hope they give it more advertising, it's fucking near and still nothing outside the youtube channel trailers
>>82938856
>Implying YoKai Watch is a Pokemon ripoff
Top kek dude
good games can be terrible movies because their plots and stories are too simple or too complicated, what it makes a good game is the way you play and sometimes that can't be put in a movie.
>>82939082
welp, time to contemplate suicide again
>>82938441
you're wrongin my opinion
>>82939266
oh you poor thing
>>82933895
>video game
>movies
Not comics or cartoons. >>>/tv/
>>82933895
Angry birds is not a video game
>>82938659
Seriously. That line was so far above everything in the rest of the movie.
The only other thing that comes close was
>Dee Jay:"I don't get paid enough for this."
>Zangief:"You get......paid?"
Everything else from that movie has been overwritten in my memory by the vastly superior Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie
>>82939328
it's not as bad as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_XIiLCHmxA
>>82939328
I know what you mean anon. Truly, we will never see anything more glorious than 3 pikachus dancing to a Dr. Dre classic. If it doesn't get any better, what's the point of living?
>>82939608
Every Street Fighter movie got overwritten in my mind by "Ooohhh, Angel! Come it's the dawn of brand new day!"
>>82933895
Wreck it Ralph was great.
And not because it wasn't based on an actual video game, but because it had an actual story and decent writers and not just a gimmick. You can't really make a good movie out of just a gimmick. That's why Batman vs Superman failed.
>>82939653
Eh, it's just a modern variation of Kriss Kross doing the Rugrat Rap
>>82939082
Fuck the Police
>>82939830

>Thinking Pixels was good
Are- are you Kevin James?
>>82939798
>that scene when Terry blew the whole top floor of the parking garage with a Power Wave
I'd put it above the Street Fighter Alpha movies, but tied with SFII:TAM. Seeing t-shirt-and-panties Chun Li do Senretsu Kyaku from Balrog's point of view was awesome.
What?
No, the guy with the claws is Balrog. Vega is the red PSYCO CRUSHAAAA guy (the boxer's name is Mike Bison).
>>82935151
>stop milking it
That never happened. He made 4 total jump scare games and an RPG.
>>82933989

>giving a shit about RT ratings
Outside of Mortal Kombat there's never been a single good video game movie ever made and even MK wasn't that good.
>>82941788
>Mortal Kombat movie.
>Good.
I will never understand this.
>>82941883
For better or worse, it was Mortal Kombat.
>>82941883
I did say it wasn't that good. It was still better than Tomb Raider or any other video game movie.
Postal? Spirits Within? Did fucking ANYONE watch Need for Speed?
>>82933895
If you can make a good movie out of Legos you can make a movie with video games. Every video game movie has been shit because of the lazy scripts and the bad direction every time.
Fucking Max Payne was about one night of revenge and they turned into well, shit. They treated like it something tacky and mmature instead of a John Woo action movie.
Hitman he is a silent assassin the movie he is a action hero that is killing people and taking down choppers in broad daylight.
Hollywood Isn't trying. they are just making what they want with the IP
>>82942110
>tfw Dexter was a better live-action Hitman than actual Hitman movies

Video Game movie "Top" Ten.
1. Mortal Kombat
2. Street Fighter
3. Super Mario Bros.
4. Doom
5. Tomb Raider

9. Tomb Raider 2
10. One of the other Resident Evils, just pick one.

>there is probably, somewhere out there, a child born in 2010 that is aware of 4chan's existence
>>82939507

>>82942216
Mario Bros isn't even good ironically like MK and SF are. Silent Hill is only good to see a crazy old bitch get rock'd in the face.
>the Angry Birds Movie is redpilled
>>82937469
mostly we'd do it for bowie
>>82942216
You forgot Double Dragon.
>>82942358
Dooble Droogon?
All I want is one Jak and Daxter movie, is that too much to ask?
A live action Pokemon movie written by Max Landis has been announced
It can't possibly be bad
>>82942216
>Silent Hill
Replace it with Max Payne or something.
It was shit. Not saying Max Payne wasn't, but at least it tried to keep the tone of the game. SH movie was a straight-up comedy.
speaking of video game movies, why couldnt they just put guillermo del toro as future director instead of someone whos not as well known??
>>82942487
(Metal Gear)
>>82934562
They'll probably do that to somehow protect their franchise and their money in case it fails while at the same time dooming it to a shitty budget
>>82933989
Warcraft has looked like hot garbage since the first trailer, and Assassins Creed is confirmed shit when they said it was 65% in modern days.
>>82942487
Because only people desperate for work make movies of a genre that has never been good and that almost everyone considers a joke due to how bad they've always been.
I am losing my mind over the fact that apparently all our memes about the movie being anti-immigrant are TRUE. The Guardian has even picked up on it.
>>82942026
>>82942216
The Postal movie was good though. It stayed true to the feeling of the game.I liked the part where they killed children.
>>82942110
>good movie
>>82942742
Yeah that was pretty cool
>>82940957
yep
>>82933895
Saw Angry Birds while vacationing in Minsk. Holy shit, this movie is awful. I mean I expected it to be bad, but this is just brutal
>>82938272
I don't really remember whether these films were good, but really these were movies based off of a tv show that was based off of a video game, not a movie based directly off of a video game. It's not quite the same. As it stands, there's been no good standalone movie based off of a video game.
>>82943852
You better not be talking shit about the Lego Movie, son. Shit was better than it had any right to be.
>>82933895
with many critics rating it low for it's message who can say if it's actually bad
>>82934378
if they really dabble into film they should get a japanese company to make it
there are dozens of good video game anime movies but no good video game hollywood movies
>>82940957
Yep, also Souldozer was in FNAF World's new update.
>>82935008
The only thing that interests me about a FNAF movie is the rumor that the animals will actually be animatronics. Aside from that, it probably won't be good.

My favorite exchange from the movie just because of how fucking bad it was:

[Chun-Li leaves]
Guile (under his breath): It's about mine.
>>82933989

>>82947198
they use a different method, it's not a good method btw
>>82942402
The plot in that is more of a clusterfuck than in Ratchet and Clank.

>>82947455
b-but Adam Sandler! he's funny and all that
>>82945379
>are dozens of good video game anime movies
Like what?
Most video game ovas are glorified commercials
>>82939184
Why would the movie be canon to the games? It's like having the MCU be canon to the comics
>>82947557
que?
>>82934440
That's what 'the story is too extensive to adapt' means, you dolt.
>>82936622
well, I think I'm actually going to watch the movie, cause that looks pretty cool.
>>82947616
I'm just gonna watch it for one or two bird waifus or something
>>82947330

>>82947659
probably
>>82938272
I only watched until pokemon 3, how the fuck can they do 16 more movies about a guy that can't win the fucking league but can defeat a poke-god?
>>82947659
they mastered 2D but their CGI looks like potato, guess not many of their people is interested in that kind of stuff and the ones who do or are good at it end working overseas
>>82939082
I remember going to some kind of festival in hiroshima and they had a scenary for the kids, it was full of pokemon costumes and shit, so crazy.
>>82947802
They've been using CGI in their 2D since the late 90s and it still looks like shit even today. And when they're not abusing CGI, they're abusing After Effects.
>>82947802
they don't really care too much about CGI, they are so used to the cgi from shows like kamenrider and power rangers that not even movies need something better.
Well I liked the movie anyway.
>>82942225
They all do grandpa. A two year old that doesn't spend most his time on the internet is seen as strange.
>>82947854
tell me about it. that robot from fourze was horror in motion
>>82947896
I want to watch it, is it any good? is the comedy similar to what movies?
>>82947880
I liked some of the effects in the Godzilla: Resurgence trailer but those looked mostly practical. But this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjOvth3O2Vs
>>82947981
A lot of the humor does derive from knowing the games/bird&pig puns. But there's a lot of slapstick, sexual innuendo, the standard for animated movies. Animation wise, it's Sony, so its fluid and cartoony. Hard to compare it to anything else, but I will say, it's probably the 2nd best Sony Animated movie after Cloudy.
>>82933895
If anything, it's more impressive that they CONTINUE to fail nowadays, when games are becoming closer to movies than ever.
The problem is always because you're meant to play a full length, 8+ experience minimum, and compacting that into just 2 hours is ridiculous. But every single fucking time the director fails to even emulate the games properly and just goes wild and does unconnected, inane bullshit to the point where you can't recognize the game anymore.
It's flat out stupid how books nor games can be easily emulated properly to film despite them very clearly laying out the groundwork for what has to be done in the original texts.
>>82947988
how come every irl movie, dorama, etc, japan makes looks like it was filmed during early 2000's? aren't they supposed to have the best cameras or something? do they even know HD or they just put shit filters over everything?
>>82947988
>But this?
that's a fan made trailer, superior to many of the cgi you will ever see in japanese shows.
>>82933895
Why don't they start making movies based off of paintings instead?
>>82948236
I'm actually hyped for that van gogh movie
>>82948236
they are doing a movie about tetris, monopoly and like 3 other board games, it's just a matter of time until we get "Mona Lisa: The Movie"
>tfw the WOW movie is gonna get labelled as "Lord of the rings met Avatar"
this is a sad world
>>82948381
Psst. Tetris isn't a board game.
>>82948381
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47h6pQ6StCk
>>82948142
I don't known, maybe using CGI over there is like super expensive or some shit like that?
>>82948381
Interesting note about the Tetris movie, it's being produced by Lawrence Kasanoff, who produced the Mortal Kombat movies as well as... pic related.
>>82948451
"X meets Y" is how movies are pitched in the film industry. It's the easiest way to sell an idea.
>>82948500

Do you really think kids care about Sonic? Really?

I don't know if you are trying to tell me there is hope or that the movie is gonna be a complete piece of shit.
>>82948481
That looks pretty fucking cool
>>82948464
I beg to differ
>>82948602
how the fuck does that game even work? how are you going to randomize the pieces and erase lines? it will literally destroy the pieces, who made that shit!?
>>82948744
it's called tetris, but it's not actually played like fucking tetris, is really stupid. Here a link where a guy kind of explain this shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfNG13ZgmrY

I'm gonna see it only because it stars based Travis Fimmel

This is a good case for why something like an Assassin's Creed movie could work, since you don't have to adapt any particular game for it to be an AC movie.

Hollywood is so fucked the next couple of years. The studios realize that the rights to most of the big two's super heroes are off limits so they're trying to key in on the next big thing, "Vidya". This coupled with the corresponding boom in CGI films and record numbers of Cape Films coming out Hollywood is just going to burn itself the fuck out.
Also fuck Sony, as if your movie division wasn't shitty enough now you're going to turn literally every first party Playstation IP into a fucking movie?
>>82953681
>Gran Turismo
>Roller Coaster Tycoon
>Tetris
How the fuck do you make movies out of any of these?
Also you forgot to add Shadow of the Colossus to TBA. I mean, it's not ever REALLY gonna come out, but neither are the majority of the movies on that list because most video game movies end up in production limbo.
>>82933989
Assassin's Creed film has been confirmed to be 30% past, 60% present. That should give you an idea of what we're in for.
>>82947659
It's not exactly much better on the purely 3D animation side either.
I saw Expelled from Eden in a theater, to my regret, and there was a pre-show bit from the director where he stated that it was on the cutting edge of CGI animation in Japan. As soon as the movie started, I thought
>if that's true, then Japan really needs to shape it's shit up
A few scenes, mostly the major action set pieces, could be alright, but their stylized 3D CGI is still a pretty big steaming pile.
I haven't seen the Captain Harlock movie, but that looked like it had pretty good animation.
>>82953681
>The Last of Us
Literally what would be the point? I know, I know
>hue hue TLOU is a movie meme
But seriously, what would being a movie in anyway add to or change the story and its presentation?
I saw the angry birds movie.
It was alright.
>>82933895
Lego Batman will save us, I hope
>>82953681
I look at this list I find myself asking why are they making these movies?
I mean the reason why we have all these super hero movie is that the Avengers made so much profit. But what video game box office smash was there to all of Hollywood rush to get a video game movie out?
There's no point making most of these games into movies.
>Uncharted
That's just a poor-man's Indiana Jones.
>Sonic the Hedgehog
When was the last time Sonic had a game good enough to warrant a movie?
>Borderlands
By the time the movie comes out, all the memes they wrote into the script will be out of date.
>Call of Duty
Who plays CoD for the story line?
>Devil May Cry
The original or the reboot? Because no liked the reboot.
>Gran Turismo
That's just a racing car game.
>Raving Rabbits
Who even cares about Raving Rabbits nowadays?
>Asteroids, Rampage, Spy Hunter
Is someone trying to start a Atari Cinematic universe?
I could go on, but it just seems like Hollywood has failed to learn from history.
>>82954300
I feel like people are forgetting movies end up not getting made all the time. Lists like this could be made going back to the dawn of cinema as an industry. I doubt if even a handful of the "TBA" list gets made and I bet some of the movies with "dates" end up getting pushed back and/or just canceled.
Hollywood is constantly throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks and stuff is constantly getting torpedoed. We can just hear about more of it nowadays.
>>82954300
>I could go on, but it just seems like Hollywood has failed to learn from history.
Hey, one of those can possibly be new Iron Man and Dark Knight and kickstart video game movies.
Maybe.
>>82954300
>>Call of Duty
>Who plays CoD for the story line?
>>Uncharted
>That's just a poor-man's Indiana Jones.
I think what you're missing here is that no ever gave a shit about the stories in any of these games, what people liked about them from the get go was the "Spectacle" of the set pieces, which is something that's actually pretty easy to translate into movie form
Where they're going to fail is that they're going to try and replicate the set piece heart of these games while also shoving in movie styled scenes and pacing, in addition to losing the video game quality of controlling a character through these scenes as well.
On top of all of that, movie spectacle is pretty par for the course nowadays, Uncharted 2's train scene is something every was impressed by when it came out, but Avengers 2 had an entire city lifted into the air before crashing to the ground in a blaze of special effects glory, and you don't exactly hear about it like it was some masterpiece of moviemaking
>>82954300
>When was the last time Sonic had a game good enough to warrant a movie?
I guess back when Jaleel White was still playing the character. They better bring him back for this movie, I swear to God.
>>82954300
Rampage could work. It's just a glorified monster movie set up. and they got the current biggest movie star in the world attached to it.

Indiana Jones is overrated. It's the same nostalgiafaggotry that makes people say Back To The Future is a good time travel movie.
>>82939082
Pokemon is going to be around forever.
I think, I think it's time to accept that.

Prince of Persia is like top 3 best rated vydia adaptations. You meant Hitman.

Yeah yeah the 80s were AWESOME and whatever, fuck off.

literally the best cg to come out of Japan was in ZOIDS

>>82934070
Not only that but they're usually 1st person stories, as in you're the character. Which means that the MC is bland as fuck and the plot heavily tied to the protagonist fucking baddies up.
It's not made to be adapted, it just doesn't work.
>>82954300
>That's just a racing car game.
Well Day of Thunder was decent.
>>82954772
He's not wrong about Indy. Still better than Uncharted though.
>>82934560
To be fair asscreed would work better as a movie.
>>82954967
Better than what?
The protagonist is your regular "psshh nothing personel" vydia protag faggot, and the story is mostly an excuse for the gameplay, when it's not downright stupid (which the premise itself is).
>>82939082
Fucking beautiful.
>>82948590
Yes. A few weeks ago I saw a 5 year old play Sonic CD on his tablet at the store I work at. Sega's good at marketing Sonic for more than just autists.
>>82955031
What do you mean "better than what?"
Asscreed is a prime example of a video game that prides story over actual gameplay unlike other games where the gameplay either takes priority or is intertwined.
You could take out the cutscenes and make them into a movie right there.
>>82955085
>Asscreed is a prime example of a video game that prides story over actual gameplay
>You could take out the cutscenes and make them into a movie right there.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
>>82955398
So I take it you've either never touched asscreed or never touched a game outside of asscreed.
>>82955398
>not knowing that Assassin's Creed is absolute horseshit
>>82953681
>A fucking heavy rain movie
WHAT
WHY
HOW

Are you ready for it anon?
I am.

>still no Fallout movie
Fucking why? As long as you keep it away from Bethesda's games, it could be really good
>a trilogy centered around the Vault Dweller, Chosen One, and Courier respectively citing their blood relation to use the same actor for each film
>viewing the ethics and principles of post-post-apocalypse society through different characters, so we can get a low-intelligence brute in one film and a smooth talking gunslinger in the next
>making Vault Boy advertisements to hype people up like in the intro to Fallout 1
>>82938564
Wow this is so 1999.
>>82933895
So this isn't as great as /pol/ hoped it would be?
>>82956838
Just imagine Enclave and Brotherhood of Steel pew pew pew on big screen.
>>82938564

>>82954812
I'm really not a fan of Cel Shading but the first season was okay, everything after that is pure garbage, and yes, I saw all of it.
>>82956880
I liked how the Brotherhood were pretty much fucked when you came across them in Fallout 2, and all that remained of their presence was one dude and some gear, and it's really just you fighting alone against the Enclave.
It could be really neat though to see two fascists duking it out, though. Just as long as they don't have the generic, safe story that Fallout 3 presented where they're the good guys.
>>82957057
I remember reading that RCT was trying to be pitched into a "We Built a Zoo" ripoff.
FNAF, probably because some exec saw the autistic fanbase and saw dollar signs.
Think these are better of as shorts like the ones Nintendo did then just full length movies?
>>82947854
Some of the full CG cartoons look pretty nice.
>>82957817
F3 Brotherhood are traitors to the cause. Bunch of savage-lovers.
What I'd personally love to see is NCR- BoS war. Few armored behemoths with laser guns and unending flood of regular soldiers. Or second battle for Hoover Dam. Oh my!
>>82956547
I'm excited to see David Cage step away from the warm, accepting, low-standard, participation award world of video game storywriting, where he's praised and loved and accepted, and face the reality that the film world will tear his talentless ass a new asshole.

>>82960444
Probably because it's not really animation? It's just live-action film put through some filters.
