It really doesn't matter. No matter what, the director of the movie will suck and butcher it. It's just the way video games get further down a path of negative connotations. People might see the movies and go "Well, looks like it was a good idea not to play the game after all." Whereas some people might see a movie about a book and go "Wow, the movie was great, I think I'll read the book!"

The latter has happened to me MANY times. So has the former except in the one instance that I decided I might want to play Final Fantasy 7 after seeing Advent Children.

I never did.

Final Fantasy VII.

Just because they've never done it before.

Re: Games you wish were made into Movies/Series

wtf is this

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne is the correct title.

That's the worst misspelling of anything I've ever seen lmao.

Havn't played it in a year.

So sue me.

PS. I don't see a 3 on the box.

Re: Games you wish were made into Movies/Series

some people might see a movie about a book and go "Wow, the movie was great, I think I'll read the book!"

I don't know anybody who thinks like that. It's more usually "hmmm, I better read the book before I watch the movie" but then they watch it anyway and decide the plot has already been ruined for them so they don't read the book ever. I imagine the same is true of game-based movies, but since gaming is less of a chore than reading (for most people) they might actually play the game frist. XD

And really, it's not a horrible director (or anything) "butchering" a game, it's just that games and movies don't mix. Movies are like games with tons of triggers that lead the action or lots of confusion as some plot points aren't told. People tend to hate games with tons of triggers and confusion about where to go, so movie-based games suck a lot of the time. In that same aspect, some of the best games are mindless or allow quite a bit of freedom, or the plot is very silly/nonexistant. Also, games (especially ones that DO have plots) tend to be MUCH LONGER than movies, so (like books) movies leave out details that make true fans of a series upset.

Really, I think the only games that could possibly have a good transition to film would be those that are aimed at being very cenimatic. Like, Shadow of the Collusus. It's all about some movie-like moments while you're playing, and it's fairly interesting just to watch it. Only problem is they'd have to change some things, like adding other people into the world, cuz just 1 dude running around would get boring. The later GTAs get more and more story based (yes, if you actually play them, there IS a storyline. It even has some twists and turns! AMAZING =O!) and could be the premise of a gangster movie. Hell, since they aren't all really connected, the movie could contain references to other GTAs but not confuse non-gamers who have no idea about the other games.

Uhoh I mentioned GTA, I'ma get pounced by closed-minded kids. =X

The III was dropped from the American release because it was the first Shin Megami Tensei title to reach the US (not counting Persona 1 and 2; those are MegaTen games, but not SMT titles).

Also, there's at least 2 or 3 anime series based off of MegaTen games. And a manga based off of Maken X. They're all hilariously bad though. And Digital Devil Monogatari, the original MegaTen game, was based on a novel.

Re: Games you wish were made into Movies/Series

I think the GTA serious would translate very well into a movie.

Re: Games you wish were made into Movies/Series

They should make Diablo I into a movie. Without butchering it and making it awesome.

Re: Games you wish were made into Movies/Series

They should make a Devil May Cry movie because hearing corny one-liners never gets old. Ever.
