8 Video Game Movie Adaptations I Can’t Wait to See & 5 I Definitely Don’t

Padinga:

Video games have a long, tragic history of being made into terrible movies- Street Fighter, anyone? Jake Gyllenhaal with an English accent in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time? So it’s with great trepidation that I follow reports of new video game film adaptations.

amazing! what a great article. i was laughing at my desk at work! though reading about the Uncharted movie is making me doubt that it's going to be any good. :P

hay4777d ago (Edited 4777d ago )

I disagree. I don't trust people who can't understand "genius" Uwe Boll is. His movies are so specific(and bad quite often) they're actually enjoyable. Some are quite good(Rampage).

Sidewinder-4777d ago

The Far Cry film was so bad.

But it's a movie you gotta watch with like-minded buddies to take the piss out of.

Finger-Eater4777d ago

Why does everyone hate Mark Wahlberg? He does look like a big douche to be around with, is it his personality? I dont get it???

Pozzle4777d ago

I can't speak for everyone, but there are a lot of people who still think Mark's a douche for all the assaults and crimes he committed years ago:

The rest probably just think he's a shitty actor.

mastiffchild4777d ago

I know a few people who have mew the boy(a while ago admittedly)and to a man they reckon he's a shitbag-just very selfish and nasty. Couldn't say myself but a lot of people who've come across him i person tend to dislike the guy. Maybe he's changed, who knows? Talk, as they say, is VERY cheap.

Sidewinder-4777d ago

Because when he was in that Max Payne film he admitted he'd never played the games cus he said he didn't need to.

Which is more than a little bit daft.

Having said that i don't hate him. Far from it, he's involved in quite a lot. Producing Boardwalk Empire etc.

dead_eye4777d ago

what sonicsidewinder says. And he's a shit actor.

geekwithtanlines4777d ago

no i like whalberg, but he's no nathan drake!!

khan_saab4777d ago

I personally don't think Mark Wahlberg can make a good Nathan Drake but with director martin o russle it is a possibility that this may work

csreynolds4777d ago

"I jizzed in my pants"...

Really? Concerned.com.

theonlylolking4777d ago

I do not want real actors trying to be like drake, sully, etc... I want to see and hear the original characters. Since the actors for uncharted are so good then why can't they just do what avatar by james cameron did and make basically everything digital?

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack18h ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

-Foxtrot17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack12h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya1h ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

isarai9h ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

LostPotato17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack12h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer57941h ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Helldivers 2 Star Wars Mod Looks Pretty Insane

Star Wars is coming to Helldivers 2, unofficially that is, as a new mod revamps in-game models and sends players to a galaxy far, far, away.

thejigisup3h ago

To you. What makes them interesting?

repsahj1h ago

This is the reason they cancel the psn link.

Would It Have Even Mattered If Redfall Were Good?

Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.

Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.

There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life

jwillj2k45h ago

No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.

CrimsonWing695h ago

I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’

franwex4h ago

Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.

Exvalos4h ago

No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
