What would be a good film based off a game?

Think of some films that could be based off games.

I already mentioned Streets of Rage in the chat box but I think that Golden Axe would be awesome too. It would probably be similar to Conan the Barbarian or something.

Altered Beast could be pretty bad a*** too.

Maybe,Half-life series, Command and Conquer series,Freelancer, and probably Crysis series.....?

In my opinion, I guess the above mentioned games at least have some story which is worth exploring and developing into a movie.Yes,there are probably a lot more other games that can also be made into a movie,but currently, I think only the above mentioned type of games would be most likely feasible.

So, basically, any game with a good solid story should be able to be made into a movie or at least into an animated movie (if it is not possible to implement it into a live action).

My Dear Melancholy,

I'm actually surprised there isn't a Call of Duty movie. I'm not a shooting gamer at all but isn't the COD series one of the best selling games ever?

Anyone interested in a GTA flim? I love GTA.

GTA's a good answer I think. COD could be like any war movie ever though, but if I were a producer I'd jump on calling it a call of duty movie for the $$$

Off the top of my head, the original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Metal Gear Solid.

I don't think there will ever be a game-movie adaptation as the Silent Hill movie. The story was all over the place, but it still felt like the original first two games.

GTA and COD would just be your generic action-packed and war movies. The games aren't impressive, the movies wouldn't be anything unique.

I think people should try something that is NOT a game adaptation. Most get it wrong. Remember the Super Mario Bros movie?

Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power.

I meant from a business point of view. I can see GTA or COD making a good deal of money. Wouldn't be the first time a "bad" movie or game made a lot of money.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

Yeah...why isn't there a CoD movie? Actually quite puzzling they didn't do that ages ago.
They could make a good movie out of Modern Warfare 1. Not excellent but enjoyable.

The Order 1886 would make a good movie, if it expanded on the universe and cut out some of the boring stuff the premise and story are good as a game it doesn't function that well though as it's trying to be a movie.

The Resistance series could make a good trilogy too cool alien WW2 action there.

Infamous could make a half decent TV show it'd be hard to top Heroes though, Alpha's tried and failed.


Shadow of the Colossus for sure. Would probably need two movies or three though.

KOTOR would be a great success.
-- It has a great story
--The characters are like those from the Star Wars OT
-- Star Wars already has a large fan-base
-- KOTOR already has a large fanbase


I would love Kingdom Hearts to be made into a movie, but I'm not sure they would do a good job with it

We Super Saiyans are in a league of our own.

I'm holding out hope for the Warcraft movie. Warcraft is a great setting with lots of really good characters; definitely fertile ground for a movie adaptation.

Hasn't a Warcraft movie been in development hell for years? I remember Peter Jackson being attached until the Hobbit came up. It's been passed around to a lot of directors but doesn't seem to ever get off the ground.

I'm not sure a great movie could be made from an MMO really there's too much in their worlds that wouldn't make it in to the movie or the movie would just be too full of stuff and be incomprehensible.

Though I'm not sure why movie makers would struggle with that but think a Minecraft movie is a good idea.
A live action one at that...

Warcraft was originally a series of RTS games, with Warcraft 3 being the most famous. Mostly for inventing the MOBA and tower defense genres.

Warcraft actually has a great deal of lore; there is a lot interesting material that could make for a good film; in fact, Warcraft 3 had a very good narrative itself. A direct adaptation of that game would be very nice.
