Remember the Heavy Rain Game that was a Movie type game. Well should there be a movie like it??
This should have been in fast threads and no.
no, that would ruin the whole point of the game.

Isn't the game more of an interactive movie? If you would make a movie out of it it just ruins the whole concept of the game. It's like making a cartoon based off of Dragon's Lair.
That would ruin the point.
It would be the longest most boring movie ever. It only works as it is because it's interactive.
No because it's already a goddamn movie nearly.
Wasn't it a movie already?
No because it literally is
Heavy Rain is some sort of interactive game so no.
It's a standard murder mystery story, nothing worth making a film of.
Any game that is heavily story oriented and heavily cinematic should not be made into a movie. Or games that rely extremely on their plot. Heavy Rain for instance, though I have never played it, would have too many things taken out and it would possibly be dumbed down. Unless you get someone crazily enthusiastic about the game and its fan base to do justice to the game.
No, you can just play the game.
If they were to make a movie, it would last longer than 24 hours.

And in Heavy Rain there is one self-contained story. And frankly, adapting the game as is to a movie would be a gigantic fucking slap in the face to anybody who have completed the game any other way than the movie chose. As well as being a huge disservice to games as a whole, and not least to Heavy Rain who stood up and said fuck you to the world; Games have merit, games can be truly adult themed, games can have good stories. Turning that into a movie would not only strip the story of it's impact, a lot of which comes from the fact that it is interactive, it would also discredit the games merit on it's own, saying "it can't be good if we don't make a *real* movie out of it"

So, it'd be a sequel? :downsrim:
No. The game was meant to be as close to a movie as it possibly could(the head developer said that he wanted no one to replay the game, not to change the movie experience).
Accidentally voted yes, but there shouldn't be any game movies
No. The story was pretty terrible.
[QUOTE=scorpion8754;22174146]Accidentally voted yes, but there shouldn't be any game movies[/QUOTE] That's not true. If they would be good movies that respected and expanded on the source material there's no problem.

[QUOTE=-Ben_Wolfe-;22149915]That's another thing, games with alternate endings or are heavily choice based would also cause for development difficult.[/QUOTE] I.E., a Dead Rising movie. Which ending to choose? Which survivors to rescue? The producers would obviously want the best, most "happily ever after" ending, but the fans would flip out at anything OTHER than a closing montage of Frank eating people or something. Personally, I think something like Alan Wake could be an interesting movie, but the fighting in the game takes up quite a chunk of time. It's like Halo. The story is fantastic, but too much of the game is just killing say, 20 enemies in a small area, moving 100 feet, then going again. Too... lame. Then again, Halo (if done right) could still be interesting. I'll go open palm Neil Blompkamp and tell him to get going. His younger brother and my older brother are life long buddies. Fuck aaaaaall y'all. :dance:
Jaaaasoooon!

Shaaaaaaun!
No, there is already a game.

Nah, it really is a movie. I see no point in very heavily cinematic and story based being turned into films. I also don't think Mass Effect should be a film.
