A Bioshock movie set before the Fall of Rapture might actually be good.
[QUOTE=Fhenexx;20790527]A Bioshock movie set before the Fall of Rapture might actually be good.[/QUOTE] You should be pleased, then, to check out [url=http://bioshock.moviechronicles.com/]this blog[/url].
I think that there are so many shitty video game movies out there because most of the time the driving force behind their creation isn't the desire to do anything good, but to make money off of a respective game's massive fanbase. Corporate endeavors, nothing more. Thanks to how little respect video games get within the artistic community(not exactly undeserved), few good directors, and none of the great ones, are willing to sully their reputations with a [i]video game adaptation[/i]. And as such, the upcoming adaptation of Bioshock, that twisted, atmosphere-heavy tale of the downfall of a scientifically unrestricted, objectivist paradise, will be delivered to us by the asswipe who gave us that nausea-inducing, brainless action movie, 28 Weeks Later.

Though we all know Quentin Tarantino expressed interest, awhile back, about making a Half-Life movie. Problem is, Valve recognizes the same pattern we here do and refuses to sell the copyright and let their franchise's name be sullied by another bad Hollywood movie.
lol I didn't read ^ post so the 1st game I though of was Bioshoock If they did it right, a live action movie would be pretty nice and l4d the passing with all 8 chars
Oh, BTW - let me remind you that there is currently an indie Half-Life movie in the making: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrcAoCNllVg[/media]

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;20773047]Mass Effect wouldn't work too well, mostly because of the different choices you have to make. I'd say an actual STALKER movie would be nice, maybe even Mirrors Edge.[/QUOTE] I agree on the STALKER one.

[QUOTE=SanderMan;20788651]That looks awsome![/QUOTE] it's a great movie
[QUOTE=SanderMan;20791316]While that does look pretty cool, the acting I've seen of the original episode was rather.......poor.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but what do you expect from an indie movie? [i]Escape from City 17[/i] is pretty much the best thing we can hope for currently, because it doesn't look like Valve is going to sell that copyright anytime soon... Lol, the acting in [url=http://www.mgs-philanthropy.net/]MGS: Philanthropy[/url] sucked too, but I enjoyed it overall.

She fired twice but only hit once... at point-blank range...
[QUOTE=Makol;20791406]it's a great movie[/QUOTE] I read on the Wikipedia page that it influenced S.T.A.L.K.E.R, so I'm totally gonna see it now.
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;20773047]Mass Effect wouldn't work too well, mostly because of the different choices you have to make. I'd say an actual STALKER movie would be nice, maybe even Mirrors Edge.[/QUOTE] I said somewhere the Mass Effect universe, not necessarily Mass Effect.

EDIT: That new Viggo Mortensen movie looks like it's rather STALKER-esque.

However, Star Wars is not a movie [i]based on a video game[/i] which is the topic at hand. :eng101:

I watched it at a friends house a long time ago and never heard of it ever since.... EDIT: Found the Wikipedia page: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Revelations[/url]
Oh god damn I can't wait for the Bioshock movie. It better be good.

Lol, funny how the acting sucks even worse than the actual Star Wars movies. At least its not as dry. [editline]09:50PM[/editline] "What about my ship?" "Consider it impounded." :v: Wow, the humor is better than Star Wars too!
