With the somewhat success of the 1st Resident Evil and with the upcoming release of Resident Evil: Apocolypse, the sub-par Tomb Raider movies, I was curious as to what games you guys think should be made into games. Maybe list possible actors/actresses who you think would do a good job playing the characters. And if you wanna get real into it, list who would like to see direct it. That's it. Go out and think about it!

I don't know if it would necessarily make a good movie or not, but i wanna see a Zelda Movie, always have and until it's made...i probably always will.
most popular games have storylines already been done in movies, so obvious choices like GTA and Metal Gear Solid wouldnt be that interesting. but saying that id love to see a Devil May Cry movie.
I agree with ya' on the DMC movie, but another good one would be Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time or even a Kingdom Hearts movie (as long as Disney didn't have a lot of say in it) wouldn't be too bad.

I've always thought with the right ingredients (i.e. the right cast and right director) Metal Gear Solid would make a great game > movie conversion. Heres a link to the thread that has my suggestions for a MGS cast:
Metroid would be awesome if Milla Jovovich was samus, and Ridley Scott directed it. In my opinion Ridley has the best mind for fantasy and science fiction
personally i hated final fantasy the spirits within cuz it had nothing to do with final fantasy....also i hated resident evil...i mean...where the hell are the guns!?what the hell!?
lol.. spirits within was just like final fantasy, except there was no gameplay involved. Just straight cinemas.
I would also like to see a diablo movie made (as in blizzard entertainment diablo). Peter Jackson would be great director for it if it was live action, but blizzard is better than squaresoft when it comes to cg animation
i reckon you also need good script writers with good storyline and great understanding of the game. many of the movies these days lack the essence of the game its based on, there is the rare exception but they a few which is not good enough. Some people here also think they should use game storylines. common! movies are suppose to be creative. we're talking about movies based on games not games based on movies
damn i complain alot
o well you cant say wat im saying isnt true
If you've seen what blizzard can do [Warcraft III as a prime example] , then you wouldnt even bother to ask me that lol. They almost break the barrier of reality in some scenes, my favorite being the ending cinema of Warcraft III : Reign of Chaos
Dont get me wrong I know squaresoft is good, but they dont make gritty cinemas, everything is super clean and doll-like

There can only be CHAOS!
Halo would be an alright movie. Metroid, however, would be an excellent movie, if they did it right. I get a notion that if they go down into Samus's history that it may suck, like Tomb Raider did. Metroid needs not to be compared to Tomb Raider....
And although an excellent book and movie trilogy, LOTR can and will be challenged in the future, it cannot hold its status for long.
