What video game movies/TV series could work?

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

We've probably talked about this before but not recently so far as I remember.

Anyway yeah, what video games could translate over in to a movie or TV show and still be good?
Anime is discounted here as it's usually pretty well connected to the source material and well thought, such as the Devil May Cry anime.

Speaking of Devil May Cry.

Devil May Cry? I think the general story of it is simple enough to make a great action movie, the third game(and start of the series) would be easy to make.
The only real problem I envision for a movie is making fighting the regular demons interesting but more importantly, making any downtime interesting.
Constant action would grow stale but how would you make Dante solving puzzles even remotely interesting?

Also I suppose another issue is getting Dante & Vergil cast. Though maybe they could do some weird s*** with CG and digitally copy Dante's actor over, similar to what they did with Paul Walker in whichever Fast and Furious movie he died before.
It'd probably need to be a big production then, not sure DMC has the hype these days.
But still, I think it has all the makings of being a decent movie or movie series.
Perhaps they could end it with 2 and actually make that game interesting :rofl:


Not sure it'd work in todays political climate but Wolfenstein could make a fun movie too.
If it had the sheer energy behind Hardcore Henry it could be ridiculous and amazing.
But then people today would moan about killing the poor Nazi's who did nothin wrong.



What else could work? Bearing in mind it could only loosely be based on the game and still be a good movie/show.

Grand Theft Auto anthology series could work.

If it's animated, The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario could work pretty well. I'd also be interested in seeing a live-action show of Mega Man and Metroid, think that would be pretty cool.

Other than that, I think an actual show of Tomb Raider instead of movies would work much better.

Food for thought: L.A. Noire, The Sims, A series on Tom Clancy's famous writings (which was turned into movies and video games).

I always wanted a Legend of Zelda series, although I'm not sure that'd really work. They could always try an animated series again, that might be best. Dark Souls could be an awesome TV series, the same with Bloodborne.

Actually yeah, Bloodborne would be better than Dark Souls I feel.

How would they work though? Would the main character die a lot or beat every challenge?

That'd be hard to do and make satisfying to watch.


I wonder if Bloodborne could work as a Battle Royale sort of thing where there's say 8 Hunters and they're all fighting through the area against the monsters and each other.
That way death could be a part of it without it just being the same main guy dying constantly, that would just be funny and that wouldn't fit the tone.

They could have the character die a few times, maybe make a limit of how many times they can resurrect. Or hell, have multiple main characters.

I don't know, they could just make a universe series out of the game. I'd watch it.

I second GTA.

A lot of JRPGs have strong stories that could translate into a TV serial. Final Fantasy already has been at least one series, but maybe something like Tales, Persona/SMT, Treasure of the Rudras, Suikoden or even Star Ocean and Phantasy Star could be made into good TV.

Games similar to Ace Attorney too. Anything with strong mystery elements.
