Best Movie-Based games ever made.

Started by Kazenji3 pages

Never played Goldeneye back in the day on the N64, My only experience with it is on the emulator and it was shit.

It hasn't aged very well admittedly like a lot of 3D games on systems back then, but emulators can worsen an experience with a game, so there's that. Still, it changed first person shooters forever.

Maybe console FPS

FPS in general didn't really need Goldeneye's help.

Well,

1. Brought FPS to the console market and made it really, really popular.
2. Brilliant computer AI for the time.
3. Context sensitive damage to enemies (meaning the react to where you shoot them)
4. Had stealth gameplay for an FPS
5. Zoomable weapons (the sniper for example)
6. Objective based missions based on your difficulty level (something games should do again)
7. And doing a kickass split screen FPS multiplayer.

Remember this game came out before Thief, Half Life and such. It did alot things new for the genre. And you can say, "well, maybe console FPS" but that's still important. Maybe FPS on the console would of been set back a few years if publishers didn't realize FPS could be done well and be extremely popular. ****, Goldeneye sold the N64.

Jedi Knight 2 also had that at the time

So did many other games at the time.

KOTOR.

How come? It's based on the Star Wars universe which started off as a movie...

That came out years after Goldeneye.

Not a direct film game but I liked Matrix: Path of Neo.

For FPS, like what?

FPS around that time revolved around the Doom/Quake formula. I can't think of an FPS that did it.

Like 5 years after that.

The game does show it's age, no doubt about it but it was a very important game for the industry and the FPS genre.

Return of the King

Which started off as a movie.

Kinda like Arkham Games are based off the DC universe. But meh, if you want it to be games based on the specific movie itself rather than based on the universe created by the movie, up to you. But you're excluding a ton of games...

The Arkham games don't count either, dude.

The riddick games count because they expanded upon the movies, KOTOR isn't
even canon..

Meh. Your thread, your criteria, i guess.

Don't agree with it but your thread.

I would agree with him.

I never once heard people say "KOTOR is a great game based on a movie."

They would say, "it's a great use of the Star Wars franchise".

That still doesn't make it based off of a movie.
