Following Electronic Theatre’s previous look at the best and worst movie adaptations in videogames, it was decided that we should further aid the industry’s use of licences by offering our pick of the top ten videogame franchises that would make good movies. Of course, while there are some games that have bucked the trend of being bad adaptations of movies, there are far fewer that have worked the other way around, and so deciding which franchises are strong enough to risk the ordeal of a motion-picture release was no easy task.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
The 2024 Game Anniversaries include some major titles including Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2, and Minecraft.
A lot of those I would disagree.
For example, we have enough zombie movies out there already. One is made nearly every year. I aint saying dont make it, but how different would it be?
Duke Nukem would just get panned by almost everybody.
And if they make a Portal movie, how would that work? For 80% of the first game, there wasnt to big of a story. It'd be all silence from Chell anyway.
And if it were up to Hollywood, Gordon Freeman would be played by The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) ¬¬
Tomb Raider, Resident evil are the only 2 game to movie franchises I can think atm that didn't suck, But many fans of the games dislike them dislike them.
My opinion is if your going to do it do it right.
The only one from that list I would gladly see would be God Of War. I can think of a LOTR type trilogy full of epicness.
How about something inspired from the Assasin's Creed series? If done well, it could be really great.
Oh heck, I gotta be honest here and say that I just want to see a flesh-and-bones Ezio! LOL!
