Steve87 10 Posted April 7, 2010 I recently read an article on Video Games and movies which I thought was quite interesting. There are over 40 games that have made it to the big screen including titles like - Super Mario, Double Dragon, Mortal Kombat, Hitman and Dead or Alive - to mention just a few. I do not actually remember too many video games that were successfully released as a movie. I don’t know whether the performance of these ‘game movies’ is affected by the switch from an interactive experience to a completely passive one. So many people play a game and hence there are thousands of different experiences and expectations that the movie makers have to address to make the video game a successful film. Tomb Raider and Resident Evil are two video games that were a success in my mind, as they maintained the story the games told. I feel the latest Street fighter movie however was just a debacle:o. It was nothing like the game, and to add to that the acting was poor. There is a Prince of Persia movie coming out soon so it would be good to see how well Prince Dastan squares up to Lara Croft. What game do you think would be a box office hit? I’d put my money on Heavy Rain.:cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bargain Games 10 Posted April 8, 2010 Think Assasins Creed will be a good movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve87 10 Posted April 9, 2010 Yes, i think so too; if they did it right it could be...and what about uncharted or would that seem like an Indiana Jones spin-off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacque31 10 Posted April 12, 2010 Another one that made it - Resident Evil, love the game and the 1st & 3rd movie! How about Metal Gear Solid - i think that will make a great movie if they stick to the game story line and the overall feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve87 10 Posted April 12, 2010 Well, i am quite shocked they havnt made an MGS movie yet...I had forgotten about Snake. That would be quite a long movie though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacque31 10 Posted April 12, 2010 Yeah maybe make like 3 or 4 movies same like the game - the story line continues through out each one. Will be very good. Lets hope some big shot Hollywood producer is reading this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
