Any adaptation is likely to bastardize the magic of these games. There is also so much conflicting lore and the timelines are all over the place I'd be vastly concerned about mucking that up or picking and choosing things from different games. I think I remember Netflix and Nintendo were working on an adaptation and then it sort of vanished? Reading between the lines it just sounded like it wasn't working.

minutemancl Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I still maintain that the Randall Clark terminal entries from the Honest Hearts Fallout New Vegas DLC would make the best video game movie ever. https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Randall_Clark_terminal_entries The writing team on New Vegas was incredible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that about a lot of games, comics, or books. Oh well, I'll always have The Legend of Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Zelda be done well in live action? I suppose....but its highly unlikely it would be. I think we would get an extremely bastardized version of what Zelda is supposed to be...kinda like what they did with Dragon Ball Z. Zelda wouldn't be easy to make into live action even with all the right pieces....and I dont know that Hollywood even has those pieces.

KManX89 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I've said it before, but Max Payne is one game that should've easily been converted into a film. Film-noir setting, comic book panel cutscenes, bullet time and zingy one-liners with an awesome revenge/crime story, how could you eff that up? Then of course the 2008 movie happened and it did exactly that. It didn't help that it was helmed by a hack director and written by a first time writer that hasn't written anything before or since. Mass Effect is tailor-made for live-action, though preferably as a TV series with its lore. Oh and did you know that at one point, Uwe Boll had gotten the rights to a Fear Effect movie? Thank God it didn't happen. Oh and screwing up Metal Gear Solid is unforgivable. Luckily JVR is deadset on getting this right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KManX89 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Legendary just acquired the film and TV rights to Street Fighter. So... better than the '94 JCVD film? I know that's not setting the bar very high (ditto for the new Mario Bros. movie as opposed to the '93 live-action film), but I'm just curious what this board thinks of this.

Mortal Kombat has a far more interesting premise and better characters, and that has yet to be done well. Street Fighter doesn't interest me at all. I loved the games growing up, but it doesn't really lend itself to a serious movie or show well. Best they could do with it IMO is make it a tongue in cheek animated show that leans towards comedic but with some good action here and there. Any attempt at trying to make it serious will fail miserably IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 95 Mortal Kombat movie was just fine. There's not much that can be done with the premise and they did it about as well as they possibly could IMO.

The last few MK videogames have told MUCH better stories with the premise than any of the movies have....so that part isnt really true. As far as the 95 movie....it was rated PG13. Nuff said.

minutemancl Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 The recent Mortal Kombat movie that came to streaming was ok. Joe Taslim's Sub Zero was great, as was Hiroyuki Sanada's Scorpion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
