Are there any games that have ever come out that you believe would make for a great movie if done properly?

I would personally love to see an X-Com live action movie. The franchise would likely be as big as the Terminator movies, if not bigger.

I could go for a X-Com movie...that would be neat.

Impediment
Dead Space
Ghost of Tsushima
Red Dead Redemption 2
God of War

Dante158
God of War would be awesome if it Will have a movie... I'd say:
SoulsBorne movies (it could be from Dark Souls, Bloodborne or whatever)
Metal Gear Solid
Yakuza (the new one)
Dying Light(?) Idk if that one would be good but i just want to see it anw
Sniper Elite

Kazenji
Plenty of games would but its Hollywood that loves to try to change elements of the story to try and improve it

There is a always a problem with video games and movies.

Some would clearly translate well.....But most would not...and it's because games reference movies for inspiration.

Just look at Uncharted movie...a movie using source material from a game that uses source material from Indiana Jones. What's the point.

Probably the reason why there isn't a movie based on Rockstar properties. What...they are going to make a Red Dead movie....when that game clearly takes homage on every single Western...haha.

That's why I said some would clearly translate well.

How about Gears of War movie? It'd actually like to see that as well as a Dying Light & Soulsborne movie

Actually, they will make another Yakuza movie at the honest (idk if it's true but i saw the rumour anw)

Edit: If the rumour was false, I'd say a reboot one(well kind of like that tbh)

I think Gears of War could work....the series is not really based on a movie property, the Gears universe is unique and not based on real life....yeah, it could be a thing.

Movie...or TV show....

Agree with all of these. Along with most of the others mentioned in the thread.

Not a movie, but I think Mass Effect could make an outstanding television series. All the components are there, it would just have to be given a large enough budget, or animated. Amazon is apparently working on this already, so hope it turns out ok.

Dragon Age could also make a good series.

I think the first Gears of War could translate well to a movie.

Wolfenstein.

Smasandian
Mass Effect would translate as a good TV show...though I don't know why a company would do it....it will never live up to anybody expectations and just going to create a toxic cloud of shit around it. No matter if its good or not.

First season ends with the Noveria (or even Virmire)
Second season ends with final boss fight in ME1 plus Cerberus stuff.
Third season ends with Collector Ship part 1.
Fourth season ends with Suicide Mission with Liar of the Shadow Broker dlc...maybe.
Fifth, Sixth and maybe even 7 deals with Mass Effect 3.

Nemesis X
Prey (2006)
Left 4 Dead
Shantae as an animated tv series

I know we have two Doom movies but we really need one in first person and actually having, y'know, Doomguy?

Dante158
I think another Resident Evil movie based on the 4th one could work tbh since the Netflix one was sucked, idk but i think it's just a matter that i'd like to see the real life La Plaga in a movie.

Wolfenstein(?), Idk if that could work but we'll figure about it
Any kind of Tom Clancy's based games' movie (but mostly give Splinter Cell or Ghost Recon movie tho)
InFamous
Just Cause
Crysis

Herm... Idk what else more...

Agreed, since the two Doom movies didn't met the expectations that much tho

I've got a good one:

Enslaved.

Game has mad potential for a full movie.

Best Doom movie was probably Army of Darkness. smile

Because that's how a Doom movie should go, badass normal rips though hordes with his boom stick.
