Seems like they're stuck being mobile F2P games now.

Decent animated video games movies are made, they just aren't advertised or shown in theaters because they don't make money. The last two animated Resident Evil movies have been a blast. The opening and ending action sequences of Kingsglaive were better than anything in FFXV.

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

Those tend to be a different beast. They're often more like long ass optional cutscenes instead of an adaptation if that makes sense. There's Pokémon as well.

I don't even like Uncharted lol

But when you fuck up an Uncharted movie, you basically show how bad Hollywood is at making video game movies. Just saying.


tbh Uncharted works because it feels like you're playing a big budget action movie.

Without the gameplay you're just watching a generic big budget action movie. With some actors who won't give as much of a shit as well. And that's likely the best case scenario.

What...could the point of that possibly even be? >_> Seems like it would just make the fans of the game angry while the rest of the audience wouldn't care either way.

That's what's wrong with the movies tbh. They make unnecessary changes and never try hard enough. Grab some better actors and writers. Pick a couple of games with fairly compelling stories. Create multiple movies to tell the story better.

For example, I think a movie of The Last of Us wouldn't work in two hours. It just wouldn't. Doing four movies, one for each season though? That would be great and give the characters time to develop, let the audience care more about them, etc.

Then again, that would all cost a shit load more money, and I don't know how hard it is to improve movies to that extent.

They do seem to make fewer games based on movies now. Every movie had an accompanying game in the ps2 era. It's fairly surprising they haven't tried to adapt all the superhero movies out there into games. They had a Batman Begins game for crying out loud (which was actually really good)

I don't think that would work for a movie either. It takes what, two years to make a movie? So you're looking at an 8 year saga. Even if they pump it out every year that's a 4 year saga. It's not like the seasons have a compelling solo arc to them that would work as standalone movies too.

A TV show would work though yeah.

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

That Wolverine game was good (the one with Sabretooth and "Deadpool"). Hell it was better than the movie.

Yeah the last time I heard about it is when they said that it's gonna focus on a young Nathan rather than adult Nathan

How did those direct to TV Dead Rising movies turn out? I suppose B-Movie would be an accurate adaptation.

Did you like that quick sequence at the end where Chris and Glenn ran around in a circle shooting at the floor. That cracked me up big time. Have you seen Damnation?

Resident Evil has always been super campy with its action, but that part in particular caught me off guard with how nonsensical it seemed. For the rest of the fight it actually makes since why they are missing because they are in such a close melee or they have cover, but that one part was just like wut.

Silent Hill is the only decent video game film

I've always thought Deus Ex would make a great film

Human Revolution in particular
