Games to Film

The best games that were based on a movie will have to be Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I & II.

I believe the success relies on the fact that it was based on the Star Wars movies' environment and 'social politics' much rather than it's plot.

I have "Die Wiedzmin" series. The original Polish edition of "The Witcher". It's budget, but pretty awesome to see how Geralt of Rivia became a witcher.

WTF are you smoking? have you played the hitmans? even just the 1st one? they butched the story and characters,

I said adaption , and yes i have played them all ,When you say butched I wonder if you played them at all , there were a few of the names that were wrong , they didnt go the clone route (or so we know ) but like I said before the Movie which is a completely different medium from GAMES has to attract more than the target market .

If they made it exactly like the game then only people who played the game would know what was going on , and the rest of the masses would be left confused to some degree .

The primary objective is to make money from the movie and if you limit intrest to just those that played it , you limit profits .

As an ADAPTION of the Hitman Game it was great .
 
Eve Online (would make a damn good mini-series too, I reckon)
Guild Wars, especially some of the lore parts of the Gods, UW, FoW and the original time of Guild Wars... it would all be awesome to see on the screen.

i know the story of the game couldn't have been adapted for all audiences but seriously, what set Hitman apart from the Transporter 3 for example? (excusing the driving scenes) The game had an awesome story, theres a difference between adaption and inspiration.....

And Max Payne?

The nice thing about a lot of the MMO's (or any RPG for instance) is that they all have this huge backstory and loads of lore that can help support the plot.

Baldur's Gate? Wouldn't mind seeing that on the big screen at all ... although, after the Dungeons & Dragons movie I'm worried that they'll give it to some small-time setup who'll do nothing but make a hash of things.

You mean a movie based on a game based on a book? Why not, sounds kind of fun.

Why did nobody bother to watch my pong movie?

Pity about the soundtrack though :p

I declare Pong the movie of the century!!! :D

well you got me there Max Pain was Fail.
 
Games don't need movies .... they are better than movies. They tell a fuller story and gives you more immersion that any movie I have watched. Games will over take the movie industry who will collapse. At least it says so in an email in AC1....
