Top 5 Games That Should Be Movies

Go Fanboy writes: "Nothing is certain in today's game industry. But the closest you'll come to a sure thing is that movies based on video games suck. There are exceptions, sure. But most of the time, gamers end up regretting their ticket purchase after watching their favorite game get some off the wall adaption on the silver screen that fails to encompass any of the elements that made the game so good."

Wow Alcon. Welcome to N4G where it's not just press releases. It's also game related "Articles" as this submission is correctly categorized. *double checks* yup, it says article, lol.

Alcon Caper5211d ago

lol this is an article? i'll remember to add Gofanboy.com to my bookmarks. it's a blog at best. the author NEEDS to take a writing class and learn about the art of prose. or the art of spelling...

No video game should be a movie. EVER.

GunShotEddy5212d ago

Why should no game be made into a movie?

Alcon Caper5211d ago

history says that no game has successfully been made into a movie.

name me 3 games that were successfully turned into movies

when a relatively long game plot is crammed into a 1.5-2 hour film, it does a disservice to the writers to control the pacing in the game--it never translates.

You're an idiot for thinking differently. Just look at every game movie ever made. dumba$$

Mr Lahey5211d ago

oh dear, as long as Uwe Boll wont get his hands on the scripts.. he raped so many games with his non existing directing skills already..

Trailer Park Boys avatar earns a million bubbles!

hatchimatchi5210d ago

ditto

trailer park boys is one of the funniest shows ever

GunShotEddy5211d ago

Resident Evil 1, Mortal Kombat 1, Tomb Raider 1.

All box office success and relatively well received by the gaming community. Cynical much?

Alcon Caper5211d ago

all those movies SUUUUCKED and only have cult followings at best. Oscars much?

dorron5211d ago

Come on! No Metal Gear??? No God Of War???? Those games are way more filmy than most in that list.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

All games coming to PlayStation
Next Xbox will have steam
Next Xbox niche and only for “gamers who want it” (it’s a really powerful pc or a steam deck type portable, or both)

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic73d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8973d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
