What Video Games do you think would make great movies.
(You can post the main storyline)
In my opinion, I would have to say Splatterhouse:
[image]
The Game-Based Movie takes place in West Mansion (nicknamed the "Splatterhouse") where a parapsychologist Dr. West is rumoured to have conducted bizarre experiments, west has subsequently disappeared. Two university students: the series main character, Rick Taylor, and his girlfriend Jennifer Wills visit the house for a school project and a sudden thunderstorm causes them to seek shelter inside the mansion, which is pitch black.
Inside a scuffle happens with unseen enemies, Rick is knocked unconscious and left for dead while Jennifer is kidnapped. While he is unconscious the "Terror Mask" (Sometimes "Hell Mask", commonly shortened to just "The Mask") attaches itself to him. Rick wakes and finds that he cannot remove the Mask, which he recognizes from West’s documents he's has been studying as an ancient Mayan sacrificial mask. Discovering it gives him incredible strength decides to take advantage of it's power and use it rescue Jennifer.
When Rick does find "Jennifer" at the end of the fifth floor, she turns into a giant monster with claws giving the impression that she has somehow been mutated, this is later proven false by Splatterhouse 2 when it is revealed the real Jennifer has been imprisoned in the Crystal in the Void and the Jennifer that transformed was a fake.
The story ends with Rick defeating the womb that creates the monsters fought throughout the levels. He then escapes from the burning West Mansion, and ultimately fights one last monster. Following its defeat the Mask breaks from Rick's face and Rick leaves.
It was a great game. And would make a great movie.

The Longest Journey would make an amazing movie, but I'd imagine a lot of people would see it as a Pan's Labyrinth rip-off. A lot of the fun of it was the puzzles, anyhow, so staying just a game is probably for the best.

Almost any adventure game. Monkey's Island, Full Throttle, Zork (maybe), Broken Sword...the list goes on and on.

Here's my top-four! This comes straight of my blog, typed some time ago. It was a slow day and I wanted to give detailed thoughts. 
4. Day of the Tentacle - LucasArts (Point and Click Adventure Game)
A classic. A sequel to an earlier game called Maniac Mansion (a game filled with so many deliberate red herrings that it's nigh-impossible to finish). The mad but not neccisarily evil Doctor Fred has a pair of disembodied tentacles for pets and when one of them sprouts opposible thumbs thanks to some of the doctor's home-made toxic waste it decides to take over the world. So it is up to Bernard (a playable character from the first game) and his two friends, Laverne and Hoagie, to solve the problem by travelling back in time to the day before and turn off the toxic waste. Unfortunately the Chron-o-John malfunctions, leaving Bernard in the present, Laverne in the future ruled by tentacles, and Hoagie at the signing of the Declaration of Independence (eventually, thanks to the puzzle solving, having a vacuum cleaner in your basement become part of the US Constitution). Another very silly game that has great potential for a movie as long as Roy Schneider stays away from it.
3. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - LucasArts (Point and Click Adventure Game)
Indiana Jones goes off to save the world from Nazis yet again, who are looking for the famous city of Atlantis to utilize its technology for the upcomming war. The game plots end up investigating why Atlantis, a great civilization, has fallen, and that it's truth is more disturbing than anything he could have thought. To tell the truth, whenever I try to write a story, I find shades of this game creeping in at times. The writers at LucasArts actually made a pretty good game with a pretty good story with more depth than some of the Indiana Jones movies (yes, you heard me, Temple of Doom!). Very early, when attempts were made to make a fourth Indy movie was it rumoured that this would story would be used. But alas no, very early it was revealed that the fourth Indiana Jones will not have anything to do with Atlantis. *sigh*
2. Alone in the Dark - Infogrames (1992) Third Person Adventure Game
The Uwe Boll movie does not count, mostly because it sucks. And because it utilized the story of the fourth game, which has nothing to do with the original trilogy. Back in its day, despite crappy 3D graphics, Alone in the Dark was a very scary game. Firstly it utilized a plot driven by Lovecraftian Cthulhu mythos and ideas. Set in the 1920s, Edward Carnby, a detective, is hired by an antique-dealer to see if the house of Derceto in Louisianna really has an antique piano with a secret drawer in it. When he finds the secret drawer he finds a note from the house's previous owner stating the reasons for his suicide. Now Carnby must make it out of the house, filled with zombies, night-guants and the occasional demon. Each step the character gave creaked on the floorboards, the sounds the creatures made were eerie, the house figuratively reeked with atmosphere and when I was in the caverns beneath the house being chased by a giant worm-like creature called the Cthonian (making weird grunting noises) my skin couldn't help but crawl. The game had almost no cut-scenes, and the story had to be pieced together by the player himself from notebooks, diaries, manuscripts. The gameplay is very similar to the original Resident Evil games. Thing is, Alone in the Dark was there first. Resident Evil may have ended up being the better known and more popular of the two, it is nothing but a rip-off of Alone in the Dark. The second game in the "trilogy" had undead pirates (always a favourite) and the third game undead cowboys. Both were more action driven and had more complex plots and were a lot of fun, but ultimately were about as scary as cheddar.
1. Grim Fandango - LucasArts (1998) - Adventure Game
One of my favourite adventure games of all time and hailed many times as one of the best adventure games ever made. It's the Godfather of PC Adventure games, which emphasized character and originality above plot and, off course, action. It has has an epic plot that more or less spans four years, it has many characters and arguably one of the most original worlds (both in concept and design) found in a PC game, ever! As a movie project it would be perfect for a Tim Burton / Henry Selick collaboration... or maybe just Henry Selick. The world Grim Fandango populates is the Land of the Dead, a world (based on Azteco / Mayan mythology) where the dead have to go on a four year journey before they may enter the Paradise, the Land of Eternal Rest, unless they commit an unspecified sin in life which gets you stuck in something like community service. In this position is poor Manuel Calavera, who has to sell travel packages to the recently dead. When faced with being fired from his job, making his journey to the Land of Eternal Rest impossible, he steals a client from Domino, a more successful salesman. The client is Mache Colomar who is practically a saint and with whom Manny is smitten immediately. But Manny makes a mistake, leaving her alone in the Petrified Forrest and him wracked with guilt over messing up. He joins the Lost Soul's Alliance, a group of Souls who plan on exposing the corruption in the Department of Death, the morbidly named agency that is more or less the government. Manny, with his elemental spirit side-kick, Glottis (a large orange thing) travel the land of the dead in search of Meche, but also, in the process, discover just how diabolical the plot is.
Unlike most games, Grim Fandango is actually thematically rich; some of the themes touched upon are responsibility, disillusionment, serving oneself vs serving others, etc. The dialogue in the game is among the best written for a game and the original voice-cast is also among the best for a game, headed by Cuban actor, Tony Plana. The design of the game is based on 1930s Art-Deco coupled with Mayan, Aztec and Modern-day Mexico, and is one of the most gorgeous looking games. Even the characters resemble the paper-maché skelotons made during Mexico's Day of the Dead festivals. The game is also is steeped and stewed in film noir with many references to classic movies, including the Maltese Falcon, Casablanca and The Third Man. The final scene is even set in and around a greenhouse (most likely a reference to The Big Sleep). Grim Fandango was just a bunch of good things that game together well (not counting to occasional plot hole). It was also one of the few games that actually envoked emotions from me the same way many good books have; you felt sad that your adventures have ended. Returning to this game always felt more like returning to a good book.
There is three reasons however why this excellent game will never be made into a movie: (1) Despite being constantly high on "the best games ever" lists (in many Game of the Year awards it actually beat out StarCraft and Half-Life), it's actually not very well known at all, which leads to problem (2): the game despite being successful, was not as succesful as past LucasArts games; it came out in 1998, at the dawn of multi-player games and was probably sunk by that. It's "failure" was the nail in the coffin for adventure games in general, a genre which was at its time the best-selling genre on the PC. And thirdly, Hollywood is run by idiots, so I doubt they'll ever be interested in a decade old game that supposedly underperformed. At least some fans are apparently making a Half-Life 2 Grim Fandango Mod to keep the memory alive.
Well, that's my piece of pretentious pseudo-journalism for the day. I'll just end this on my favourite quote from Grim Fandango, which is also one of my favourite quotes of all time. "Run, you pigeons, it's Robert Frost!!"

*fights to suppress rants about what's wrong with video game movies of the past*
Okay... No comments about the past, only looking towards the future... Here goes:
SMASH TV
This game has an advantage right off the bat, as it's a pretty blatant knock-off of Ah-nold's flick The Running Man. Smash TV is a futuristic, sadistic game show where contestants must fight their way through wave after wave after wave after wave after WAVE AFTER WAVE AFTER WAVE AFTER WAVE of enemy combatants, all the while gathering up large sums of money AND cool prizes like TVs and Luggage sets! Like the game, the film would have virtually no "story," it'd just present itself as an episode of the show: one VERY long, bloody action sequence through several studios/mazes and boss battles. The carnage would broken up by brief, cheesy sequences where the contestant's scores are tallied up, plus maybe a few equally cheesy clips that illustrate the contestants history and "messages from our sponsors". Throughout the whole spectacle, the MASSIVELY smarmy host hams it up for the camera and basically earns the hatred of everyone. After a grueling 90 minutes or so of brutal combat, in which most of the contestants are killed, the few remaining players overcome the final boss (a giant robot version of the host) and discover that they have been awarded the grand prize: the honor of being Smash TV's next contestants!
Older games like Smash TV are becoming nostalgic enough that someone might actually try this in the future, but it' a pretty safe bet that they wouldn't stick to the original spirit of the game as closely as my version would. A "real" Smash TV move would probably end up as a cheep Rollerball ripoff.

Actually, I second the notion that it should be animated, not live-action, because then they can carry over the voice actors from the games, and that would just be all kinds of awesome.

Looks like the KH anime was nothing, but a rumor. It could happen, but I just have a feeling that Disney would say no to it.
As for Tom Clancy's video games being made into a movie.
There is plans for a Splinter Cell movie, but it doesn't come out untill 2010.

if they made another, BETTER Street Fighter movie (animated), then that would be pretty sweet.

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."

Basically all the later Final Fantasy games (though I haven't played VI-IX or XII). FFX was like an interactive movie anyway. I suppose they've already made Advent Children, and the only future Final Fantasy movies they'd make would be sequels to existing games or stand-alone stories like Spirits Within, but I still think it'd be cool to see an FFX movie. Completely CG, of course.
Apart from that, I think the Prince of Persia games would make reasonably good movies. I'm partial to the first one, but the other two would probably be exciting, if nothing else. They probably wouldn't cut out certain scenes (PoP fans will know which ones I mean), but other than that I think they'd translate pretty well to movies. After seeing Kingdom of Heaven, I became obsessed with the idea that someone should at least make Sands of Time into a movie. Orlando Bloom just looked so much like the Prince. I might try to kill myself if they chose him to play the Prince, though.
Alas, movies of the Myst games wouldn't work very well. Since Rand and Robyn Miller used themselves in the games, and you never actually see yourself, it just wouldn't work out. But if someone was brave enough, they might try doing something like the downfall of the D'ni or something. I suppose the Millers would have to be very involved with it, though. It'll probably never happen, since Robyn Miller wants to make a movie of his own, separate from Myst.

You can find out things about the past that you never knew. And from what you've learned, you may see some things differently in the present. You're the one that changes. Not the past.

Have you ever read the Myst novels? For books "Based off a game," they're surprisingly well done and make for a good read. The first two cover the prehistory of the game's universe, and the third covers what happened after the fall of Riven and the rediscovery of the D'Ni.
The first book is a fine read, but relies on the reader already being familiar with the Myst chronology, games, and concepts, so it wouldn't be the best choice for making a film with mass appeal. And the third I haven't gotten to yet, but I've heard it's the weaker of the series. The second installment however, covering the fall of the D'Ni civilization, is excellent, and could easily make a plausible movie.

Final Fantasy 6 movie won't happen... It wasn't a very popular game in Japan... While that proves the Japanese don't have any taste, Okami not being popular worldwide proves that taste is rare worldwide...
If I had 100 billion dollars, I'd fund a Final Fantasy 6 movie trillogy... Wait... three sixes? Maybe not... Two of them, but they'd be long... We're talking LotR long... One would be world of Balance. One would be world of Ruin.
A game that would make a great movie if they repaired the hideous acting is Silent Hill 2. Unfortunately, while the Silent Hill movie was the best game --> film adaptation, it made it impossible for my dream to become a reality.
I'd love there to be a movie of the ORIGINAL Metal Gear story... I hope that's the direction the movie's going in...
There's a new Street Fighter movie coming, because they want to erase the Van Damme movie from the world's memory... Hopefully this one WON'T suck... It would be impossible to wipe TWO bad movies from the world's memory...

The Thief (stealth) games would make great movies. Dark humour, fantasy/medieval/steampunk setting, lots of interesting lore and weirdness!

To be honest, I really wouldn't want to see any Final Fantasy games get the movie treatment. They're just so friggin' HUGE already (and would only get bigger if the story-telling requirements changed from video game to film standard) that even a whole set of films would be hard pressed to do the plot justice.
I'd kind of like to see Tail Concerto as a film. The characters, setting and basic plot were all very interesting, but the game was over in the blink of an eye. Somebody could pop out a really cool bit of Ghibli-esque fantasy if they adapted that one.

I'd rather see a Final Fantasy (IX) Anime adaption, personally. I think that would work much more to everyone's liking.

If they do Halo and Gears of War right, I'll be pretty happy. A Half-Life movie would make me happy, too, but having Gordon stay mute would be a bit of a hurdle.
An animated Ratchet and Clank movie would make me chuckle...eh, scratch that, I'll admit to giggling. Monkey Island is also subject to this treatment.
OH! Armed and Dangerous! I have never laughed so hard at a game in my life.
Uh-oh! Your sig have started to move! -- MOES.
