even Stevie Wonder could see a GTA movie wouldn't work.

Rainstorm815389d ago

A GTA movie would be as successful as Final Fantasy Spirits Within

(Advent Children was Awesome it shouldve went to theaters)

Hellsvacancy5389d ago

If it had a decent director and a GOOD script-writter then Gta as a movie could work

whoelse5389d ago

I can see loads of people seeing it thanks to the brand name alone.

morganfell5389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

Quentin Tarantino telling the story of Niko Bellic or Tommy Vercetti in Vice City (Miami) wouldn't work? You have got to be kidding...

Blaze9295389d ago

It woudlnt work because GTA isnt something you "watch" in a movie. Imagine GTA4 as a movie, who the hell would watch THAT? The only good GTA I would watch as a movie would be Vice City which itself, is just a spoof of Scarface.

morganfell5389d ago

Well I disagree. Watching Niko Bellic, a man haunted by his past actions being dragged backwards into the kind of life he hoped to escape is an attractive prospect. Niko is good at being violent. But unlike Antonio Montana he doesn't nevessarily take pleasure in that fact. He is the antithesis of a Scarface character.

If i have them, why would i wanna pay rights to Rockstar to produce a GTA movie when i can get my director and script writer to make an entirely new movie ?

Yea, not really. I mean if it was based of GTA IV than maybe there could be some kind of awesome plot to it, and Niko would kick a$$. I think Rockstar would be throwing money away if they decide to go with such thing.

A HiFi5389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

It could work if based on GTA IV. It's cinematic and has a good story to it. Has anyone seen Behind Enemy Lines? The guy in that looks exactly like Nico, haha. Would be a great casting choice:

Natsu X FairyTail5389d ago

if they make the movie based on the story and not around the Gameplay it could work

Ziriux5389d ago

Well that's certainly what they would do. I mean it is a movie after all not a game.

Wriggy5389d ago

A GTA movie could work, if you can get a good cast of actors and make the story line engaging. It's been hard to make a good movie based on a game but if anything GTA could be the first to be done right.

Ziriux5389d ago

If you ask me, all video game movies should be done in CGI, that's the best way to do it without the movie looking cheesy, plus you can put all the fantasy elements into a CGI movie that is usually challenging on a movie with real peeps.

RedDeadLB5389d ago

I've thought about this.. Naah, nothing of this could be made into a movie.
And it should stay that way.

A HiFi5389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

Well, I disagree. With a great director and great script, it really could. It would have very little relevance to the game, so if they lift GTA IV's story into there - it could work.

Opening narration from Nico spliced with footage of the Bosnian War and Nico seeing people die and such, Nico meets Roman at Pier, Nico realises it's rubbish in LC too, Nico meets love interest etc.

It really could work actually...

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies3d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken2d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing693d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker3d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing693d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt3d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken2d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Sweet. I loved Liberty City Stories despite the city being empty. Those main story missions were tough but fun.

Number1TailzFan190d ago

Both Stories games were far better than GTA 3 IMO, VCS being the best and most enjoyable though.
