Sucker Punch was the best video game movie even made.

....what do you mean there is no Sucker Punch game?

KingPin4673d ago

No, you cannot fix it. games and movies, while they have similar qualities, its the method in which the story is told that differs. thats what sets them apart between games and interactive movies.

see, if u take mortal kombat or any fighting game, the conclusion is the same. all the characters killed the same final boss for different reasons. hence making a movie, this cannot be possible.

same with other games, watching it in a movie is predictable. keep in mind, if anyone played infamous, in a movie that final turn in the plot would have been seen coming from a mile away. thus making the plot lame.

another reason why they cannot fix this is that movie produces like to include their own ideas into the project. creating love stories in the plot. why they do this, who knows. but it doesnt work and so kills the characters we all know from the game in a sense.

Just once I'd like to see a game plot actually be used in the movie version, just once!

RE, Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, DoA, Tekken, House of the Dead, granted some of these movies where better than the others but none of them actually stuck to a plot from the games! Why? Surely the directors must know that the games are liked because of the characters and plots, so why change them beyond recognition just to ruin them for the fans.

The Mortal Kombat movie is the only one I can think of that follows the story of the game.

....until they screwed it up with that godawful sequel. :(

zerocrossing4673d ago

Yeah, the Mortal Kombat movie was great! But that sequel, what were they thinking?. :(

Pozzle4673d ago

I still can't get over the giant hamster ball scene in the sequel. Why the hell would they need to use GIANT MOTHERFUCKING HAMSTER BALLS as a mode of transport? RAIDEN CAN TELEPORT FFS!

After that scene, it all went downhill from there :(

zerocrossing4673d ago (Edited 4673d ago )

I know right? I mean last I checked instant telaportation was way quicker than running in GIANT HAMSTER BALLS! The final fight though, when they turned into monsters, WTF was that about? O.o It just came out of nowhere.

Pozzle4673d ago

Lol, I completely forgot about the final fight. You're right! There was absolutely no lead-up to it. All of a sudden they turned into animals with absolutely no explanation, then like half a minute later they turned back into humans. So random.

It was so ridiculous, I was half expecting the words "ANIMALITY" to pop up on screen.

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga10d ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

repsahj9d ago

RE Zero is one of my favorite game on gamecube!

Knightofelemia11d ago

GotGame81810d ago

I Have A Confession, I Like The Fallout 3 Green Filter

The game looks too clean without it.

How about you actually SHOW wtf you're talking about

Nacho_Z19d ago

Always annoying when articles do that.

I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.

gold_drake19d ago

i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.
