    Default What films should be adapted into games?

    There are plenty of great films, action and otherwise, that have never been adapted into their electronic counterpart, so what ones would you like to see released? Call me crazy, but for one, I would like to see a Kurosawa's Yojimbo or perhaps a Leone film game adaption.

    Half-Life could be a interesting film. Granted it would probably be terrible, like Street Fighter or Resisdent Evil.

    He means Movies that should become games!

    I'd say Kill Bill would be an awesome game.

    No, silly. I mean movies being adapted to games, not the other way around. Here's a good example, Dirty Harry. It was originally a film idea, but later adapted into a game for the NES.

    Isn't is usually a good movie that gets turned into a bad video game and not the other way around

    I would love to see a Monkey Island movie. They have to have enough material there for an hour and a half..

    Ocean's Eleven would make a cool game, as would Seven and Memento.

    Yeah, a lot of those have been made poorly, but there are some exceptions like 007 Goldeneye.

    Doh, my bad. I miss read the title. I think bumfights would be an interesting game, granted it would be inappropriate. I would really like to see Blade in a video game. Make it like styled like Devil May Cry.

    See, the problem is that most good movies get made into bad games. So I think we need to take bad movies and see if they can turn them into good games.

    these could be the three greatest games ever if my theory holds true!!

    Road Avenger doesn't use Riding Bean footage as the internet likes to tell you...but it would have been so much cooler if it did.

    Gunsmith Cats also would make a cool game.

    eXaXXion while i'm naming Sonoda series...

    I'd love to see Wizards on a console, with in-engine cutscenes. My xbox needs to render more brightly colored nipples and nazi imagery.

    The Goonies!

    I know its been done for NES and MSX and so on, but how about a brand new 3d one based exactly on the Movie, going through caverns, finding treasure, avoiding traps, finding secret passages and so on, instead of the NES/MSX Versions!

    Kind of obscure, but I always thought Smilla's Sense of Snow felt more like a point and click adventure than a movie.

    None - they need original game properties that aren't hampered by a linear storytelling medium.
    You are startled by a grim snarl. Before you, you see 1 Red dragon. Will your stalwart band choose to (F)ight or (R)un?

    A game in the style of Memento would be nuts. You could go through it backwards in five-minute sections. I'd play it.
