I think a Metal Gear Solid movie would be interesting.

Welshy4382d ago (Edited 4382d ago )

Unless Kojima wrote and directed it, with David Hayter as Snake, IMO it would be a steaming pile.

Kojimas ideas and plots are way over the majority of Hollywood's head and it would just get massacred.

Even if they got the perfect director on it, hearing any other voice after growing up for 14 years with Snake as David Hayter would be plain wrong.

guitarded774382d ago

If Kojima made a movie it would be 84hrs long. :D

Sometimes I think I'd love it if they made a Mass Effect movie, but anytime they make a movie of based on something good, they just end up ruining it. Case in point: GI Joe... what was done to the franchise was blasphemous on so many levels.

ATi_Elite4382d ago (Edited 4382d ago )

1. HALF LIFE = (The Purchase Brothers have already made a couple Outstanding fan films that capture the true essence of HL, just give them a bigger budget)

2. STALKER = (Just film it in Pripyat and Chernobyl and fans would fill the theaters just to see their favorite Radiation Zone! Ridley Scott would make this Awesome)

3. ZELDA = (give it the Peter Jackson and let him do his thing, Easy Money, seriously Easy Money)

4. RED DEAD REDEMPTION = (Let Clint Eastwood direct it and have top notch character actors)

5. GRAND THEFT AUTO = (Jason Statham in the lead role, Oh wait they already made Crank and Crank 2!!!)

6. MASS EFFECT = (this one is Easy as it would just be the new Star Trek, I'm sure Michael Bay would get this one DARN)

7. UNCHARTED = (The One EVERYONE wants made as it would be the new Indiana Jones, use Mark Walhberg and us GAMERS will burn Hollywood down!)

No HALO or METROID cause they would totally screw it up as the game depends so much on the main character and Hollywood would all of a sudden have Master chief or Samus falling in Love, have some lame sidekick character, or totally detract from the games but then again I can see them using Mila Jovovich as Samus!

Lilioups4382d ago

where is metal gear?
wtf that guy choosing red dead and dead space lol

Lilioups4382d ago

choose hello kitty next time

WeskerChildReborned4382d ago (Edited 4382d ago )

Red Dead and Dead Space both have good storys so they won't be that bad if they were movies unless the directer make's the movie shitty.

user54670074382d ago

Dead Space

Issac Clarke - Joshua Jackson

...Make it happen EA

Pintheshadows4382d ago

He's an annoyingly handsome barsteward. I'd like to steal and wear his face.

Good call though. I like Joshua Jackson in Fringe. He's no Walter Bishop though.

Welshy4382d ago

I see Walter Bishop like a less sane, older Otacon.

When either of the above cry, you feel a manly tear brewing.

Off topic, but when Sunny asks Otacon where Uncle Snake is, and he replies "snake had a hard life... he needs some time to be alone *wipes tears*"

It shames me not to admit several manly tears flowed...

Blastoise4382d ago (Edited 4382d ago )

Heres my list of games that need movies
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Movies to games rarely works well, and it doesnt often work out well the other way around either. All i know is if my favourite game was on the big screen it would probably end up as a disappointment, so I'd rather they just left it.

Moby-Royale4382d ago

Lol.

I enjoyed that. :)

I did enjoy that Doom movie.

Urban's the man. :)

Blastoise4382d ago

Glad you liked it :P
Yeah there is the odd exception. I thought the silent hill movie was pretty good.

BitbyDeath4382d ago

List needs more God of War.

Rockstar Might Be Preparing For Red Dead Redemption 1 Release On PC

Goodguy014d ago

I just want 4k/1440p and 60fps support. And with little glitches too ofc.

Snookies122d ago (Edited 2d ago )

This is about the PC version of RDR 1. The PC version of RDR 2 doesn't have a frame rate cap. Though I do agree, it is mind boggling that Rockstar still hasn't released a patch for consoles.

XiNatsuDragnel3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Honestly, a PS5 Pro isn't even needed for 60fps in this case. But if they wanted to use it show a game running maxed out at a high resolution at 60fps, I wouldn't complain. Just give us 60fps. lol

I think the Series X might have an issue running the One X version at a locked 60fps as that version was a full native 4K but they could just lower the resolution a bit.

purple1013d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I wish to play both stellar blade, and rdr2, on the pro, maxed out like an expensive pc,

would be good, especially for the price, even if thats £499/ £549

last I checked, a rtx 4070super was £580 for just the card!

DaReapa3d ago

There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.

EA Japan Exec Criticises Japanese Ratings Board

An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.

CrimsonWing6924d ago

He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷‍♂️

Eonjay23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

This is about gore... not about anything sexual. And specifically I think it is about the realistic depiction of gore. Unfortunately I don't know the nuance of the CERO board or how it is relevant their specific culture (as a prohibition on gore may transcend age) so I hesitate to make a statement. Can anyone else provide insight to what kind of gore is considered unacceptable?

CrimsonWing6923d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Yea, I know this is about gore, but thanks for pointing that out.

My point still stands, if a game is essentially rated for a mature audience then why censor for them as if they’re too young to view it? Makes no sense.

To answer your question: Decapitation, dismemberment, like… anything gore. They have been censoring that since CERO was established. Look up RE4 chainsaw decapitation or any MK games that made it there.

Cacabunga23d ago

EA Japan? Wtf never heard of that

ZwVw23d ago

Yet, the Oneechanbara series (y'know, the game with half-naked samurai females slicing up zombies to bloody pieces) get released in Japan uncensored.

The CERO ratings board is an equilibrium.

Smellsforfree23d ago

This confuses me since I've seen so many gory Japanese movies and anime. For example, Battle Royale.

gold_drake23d ago

definitely has a point.

but .. its japan. are we really surprised?

VersusDMC23d ago

I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .

In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?

Eonjay23d ago

Yes I think you may be on to something. The violence is gory but I wouldn't call it gruesome.

Retroman23d ago

Ea Japan please make Knack 3
in the future

Eonjay23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Does EA Japan actually make games at all? Or are they just a regional publisher?

Retroman22d ago

I'm sorry Japan Studio made Knack

One Year Later, What Was The Point Of The Dead Space Remake

The remake teased an expanded universe, but now a sequel has no chance of delivering on it.

isarai30d ago

Honestly i believe it was mainly as retaliation for the original devs breaking off and making colisto protocol. They've done this a few times, ignoring fan demands for the return of a belived ip until someone does it for them, then they retaliate by only then announcing an entry. Colisto protocol was announced and EA announced the remake shortly after, Session finally hit consoles and skate 4 was announced, shortly after Undisputed was shown off, talks started happening about a new fight night.

ZeekQuattro30d ago

I agree. Reminds me of when Inafune announced Mighty No.9 and the initial reaction of the game industry was that of celebration and suddenly Capcom said ohh shit we need to announce Mega Man 11. 😆 Still waiting for MM12 & the next X title.

isarai29d ago

Exactly, it's BS that pettiness has more power than demand for some reason.

Cacabunga29d ago

i liked the remake as much as the original.. it has so many improvements, the most noticeable to me was the seemless transition between levels which should be a must and a standard nowadays.
I cannot wait for the sequel's remake too.

Tacoboto29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

That's a very farfetched conspiracy.

Callisto Protocol was announced in February 2021 and Dead Space in July. They didn't just decide in March 2021 to "retaliate" by remaking from scratch Dead Space in under a two year timespan.

If anything, Callisto is the result of a has-been Creative Director whose only inspiration is his previous work, and EA took inspiration long before Callisto was known about from the insane success of the RE Remakes and endless calls at the time for the RE4 Remake.

0hMyGandhi29d ago

So, how do you like working at EA?

shadowhaxor29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

And yet,fans of Dead Space, myself included, have been asking EA to bring back Dead Space for a better part of a decade. To which EA refused, stating that it was done with the series. Specifically after Dead Space 3 failed to meet EA's sale goals (sound familiar?) But magically, after they caught wind of The Callisto Protocol, with Glen at the helm, Dead Space remake was greenlit.

For those not counting, The Callisto Protocol call was announced in 2019, while Dead Space remake was announced in 2021. Long before TCP was announced?

badboyz0929d ago

100% that's the way EA operates

Extermin8or3_29d ago

You know how long it will have taken to make this game, this is some rediciulous logic.

Tacoboto30d ago

It was a solid game and we'll have to move on and accept it for what it is. Just because we're not getting a sequel (original or remake) doesn't mean there's no point anymore in what is a great, tense, well-paced single player experience. No one's taking Dead Space Remake away.

I just hope that the game isn't so technically stitched together on PC that driver updates render the game unplayable like what happened with me and my RTX 4070 last year, requiring a driver downgrade just months after the game came out. If you're a console player then you've got no worries.

TheProfessional30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Yeah but it was a pointless remake since the original still looks pretty good. They should've done a sequel, something original or Dante's Inferno 2.

Way too many remakes now. Even resident evil 4 had already been remastered twice before the most recent one. No originality. Why not just hire the original team to make a new game instead?

Harkins172129d ago

For the hopes to get a new generation of people into the game. OG still looks good but it stopped selling long ago. So I get why they do remakes.

Knightofelemia30d ago

Most likely for EA to cash in on the remake craze that followed Capcom when they started remaking RE games. I am glad EA did it I enjoy the game. DS is one of my favorite franchises love the sci fi horror shit. What I don't like is EA not remaking DS2. So DS1 remake did not do well with the numbers so what. DS2 has a solid fanbase and is probably the best entry in the franchise depending on the fan. DS2 remake would have been a day one for me but I got a reminder on why I hate EA. Scrap the DS2 remake for a shitty Iron Man game.

chicken_in_the_corn30d ago

It's because the gaming community want remakes and remasters over new games.

mandf30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Thank you for recognizing that. One group always complains over remasters or remakes.gamers want them and they sell. To the once’s that complain your console has no games to do again. If you did ,they would remake them.

Crows9030d ago

Or maybe we can tell most of these devs can't deliver good new IP for some reason.

isarai29d ago

When it's hard to find a modern game that isn't broken, incomplete and monetized to hell, remakes are a sure bet for having a complete experience as older games weren't plagued with those issues

Fonsecap30d ago

I think that is for the best of the franchise o be left alone then to be turned into a game as a service or something like that, EA has the awful habit of trying to monetize everything.
