Missed opportunities in movie based games?
Not meaning this as what a developer could have did to make a movie based game better, etc. But what movies do you guys think should have got the video game treatment and may have actually sold well, complimenting the movie.
For me, and while it already got a video game release, Rambo First Blood Part 2. Rambo 4 was released in 2008, and Uncharted was released before that in 2007. The NES game is called Rambo, rather than First Blood Part 2, so to coincide with the release of the movie, and have the same name, they could have just called it Rambo. Kind of like the most recent 007 game based off a movie being called Quantum of Solace but it's actually Casino Royale.
The reason I mentioned Uncharted is that if you were to take the Uncharted game engine, and throw the storyline, areas, etc, of Rambo 2 in there, you would have a full game. Not only that but it'd probably be the most badass shooter ever. There wouldn't have to be any artificial lengthening of the game either. The reason Rambo 2 is only two hours, is because it cuts to Rambo, then cuts back to 20 enemies falling on the ground in mere seconds. Or the small parts where they're going through this area to get here or running through the enemies here. They really wouldn't have to deviate from the movie much, if at all, and probably still make an eight hour game.
Then they could have online too. Choose between different character skins like John Rambo, Colonel Samuel Trautman, Murdock, Co, Erickson, the one other guy who says don't be a hero to Trautman when they're out to rescue Rambo but turn around, the Russians, the one Korean guy who gets blown up by an explosive arrow after he turns around to shoot Rambo with a pistol but misses because he sucks, special guest character from First Blood Will Teasle, etc, etc. The online probably would be dead in a month, but they should still add it.
