Movies For Gamers Pt.1

It’s common knowledge that movies of video game franchises have been largely terrible. Though there is the occasional exception, none could be considered classics.

On the other side of the coin many games borrow quite heavily from movies. We’re talking everything from a few choice lines or minor plot points all the way through possible plagiarism. Fact of the matter is though, if you like certain action and horror games there’s likely a movie or two that will be right up your street. It may even do what your favourite games do better than the games themselves!

Here's a list of movie recommendations...

jacobs ladder is so amazing. they should make a decent game with such a interesting story, not crap like shellshock 2

floetry1014737d ago

I'm surprised by the amount of people that have played Silent Hill and HAVEN'T seen Jacob's Ladder. I think there are some crazy parallels with them.

ChrisPriestman4737d ago

Oh man, I saw the pic and went "YES!"
I love Jacob's ladder, some freaky shit in that film :D
And then the ending makes it all so clear....(pleasurable sigh)

For those that haven't seen it but like the idea of freaky stuff, I recommend this as a little teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Jacobs Ladder is a total classic.

First time one of my posts here has got comments. :D now just needs more approvals. *crosses fingers*

The good, the bad and the ugly seems like it would make an excellent game.

I would have chose Invasion of the Body Snatchers over The Faculty. That movie is terrible.

mixelon4737d ago

I think if someone likes Obscure they'd probably like The Faculty due to them being so similar in so many ways. Campy b movie horror-lite.

70s version of Invasion of the body snatchers is a much better movie though thats for sure. :)

gorebago4737d ago (Edited 4737d ago )

I liked the fac when I was in high school and watched years later. I hated it. I find I feel that way towards everything non-gaming that I liked back in the day though.

I just watched the Don Sutherland version of body snatchers on netflix instant and loved it.

I never played obscure. I'm sure you're correct in your comparisons. I think both Fact and Invas are pretty similar though.

Why market something that isn't designed to be sold?

This has GP rental written all over it.

Tacoboto1h ago

They just posted a 20+ minute video about Psychosis and how the game portrays that through Senua.

Regardless of what Microsoft is doing (retweeting Ninja Theory is about as low effort as it gets, and Dashboard Dynamic Themes should've come months ago), Ninja Theory themselves are at least trying.

It's sad though. That new video was a really good behind-the-scenes too, and it just came at such a bad time.

Tankbusta401h ago

How much marketing do games really need these days? People that play games know when its coming out. I really think the days of the constant tv ad etc are going the way of the Dodo. What scares me more is the lack of "previews" on big video game websites, it only got a few on April 4th and then nothing since.

Wow Tankbusta40 how out of touch with reality can you be, mate. Do you think companies are insane to spend millions on having giant billboards for big releases and TV adverts and superbowl slots and round the clock PR and interviews? Most of the people who buy games aren't on gaming forums like these knowing the exact release dates!

This isn't being marketed because Microsoft isn't selling the product, it's a Game Pass day one and they don't throw their weight behind games like this.

Wait, this game's actually still being made?

Ninja Theory is gonna be MS next cut!

If sony want their games to be more successful on pc and to sell more they need to bring the games day-one like helldivers 2! , and not after 2 years.

-Foxtrot5h ago

If it's first party (can't speak on Helldivers) then the PS5 should be focused on first in my opinion rather than worrying about 2 versions.

Nixxes can help with the development and release the games at the same time..

Tacoboto1h ago

Nixxes takes completed code and ports that to PC. I'm sure they do work during primary development but I like this setup.

PS5 owners are treated as first class by their platform holder, PC players get the final complete version, and GaaS are treated separately. Win-win.

Kornholic20m ago

Sony should follow the Microsoft route and kill Playstation the same way MS has killed Xbox? Are you serious?

XiNatsuDragnel5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

First party ps5 games need to be ps5 only until 6 months imo because they need to sell consoles still and then focus on PC later.

shinoff21834h ago

I don't see a big deal. The sales also help future development. I'm all in.

thesoftware7302h ago

This makes sense, just now doing it shows how behind and short-sighted regarding PC they were to begin with.

shaenoide2h ago

If they release it day one many will not buy a playstation anymore (me included).

Jingsing1h ago

I'm already not buying a PS5 Pro or PS6 and it isn't day one, They are already damaging themselves.
