Over the years we've seen countless video game based movies that fall flat (or suck balls). Are there any games out there that COULD make a great, enjoyable movie that remains dedicated to the game it was inspired by?
Man, I would kill for a proper Zelda movie. Exploring the Ivalice world in a film (Final Fantasy Tactics, XII, etc) could be good too, and way better than the first FF movie. Also, anyone remember the Drakan games? Particularly the first on the PC (with it's fantastically down ending) would make for a great film.
But, for me, hands down Fatal Frame.
Oh, and, yes, mad_hatter, we DO need another ALIEN franchise! As many as possible!
I think that of all the games with an actual storyline that you can follow, Halo:Combat Evolved could make a pretty damn good movie.
The first Mortal Kombat movie was very successful. The characters were flushed out well.
Are you kidding me? The characters were flat and uninteresting, and what little plot existed was bland and incoherent.
