FPS games turning into movies seems to be a growing trend. There's also a Doom and Far Cry movie coming...

You'll be glad to hear, the trailer for Uwe Boll's newest film (before he starts filming Far Cry) is now online at Bloodrayne The Movie official site, starring Michael Madsen & Academy Award-winner Ben Kingsley...ArrogantBastard wrote:They'd better do it right, or I'm building a shrine for Uwe Boll.

The first Mortal Kombat was lotsa fun, and the soundtrack kicked ass! If you count animation, there are several good SNK-based cartoons.Vexorg wrote:Name one movie based on a video game thus far that hasn't totally sucked.
I haven't played Halo, but as a former Marathon-addict I know Bungie's strong point, in comparison to other FPS-makers, has always been the depth of their storytelling. So this one really could be good. Hey, it's Microsoft, they have billions to burn and will not let this be another game-based low-budget bomb. If it fails, at least it will be a game-based big-budget bomb!

Dude, The Wizard kicked so much ass. Fred Savage? Check. Video games? Check. Shameless promotion of Nintendo Powerglove before it was released to the market? Check!dave4shmups wrote:What ArrogantBastard said. NO MORE VIDEO GAME MOVIES; PLEASE!!
The only movie that has anything to do with video games that I even like is "The Wizard".
Also, in response to antime: I never knew there was a book based on The Beach movie... I should check it out.

Awesome!.. and maybe it will be just like Halo 2, you know.. where its nothing like the early E3 demos and you wont even get to see Earth like you thought!!!!! WOOHOO!!
Anyway sounds cool if its done right. I just hope they dont try and span it out over 12 movies, like Microsoft is doing to bungie with the games. hence the crap ending and chopped up game.

I was probably the only person who was relieved that Halo 2 did not take place completely on Earth. I live on Earth and I've seen a billion different interpretations of Earth's future by watching sci fi films. Fellow Earthers, don't take this the wrong way but...I'm tired of Earth. I liked the first Halo because it took place in a completely alien environment with weird stuff to see like that light bridge near the first part of the game and that jungle full of old forerunner ruins where you first meet the flood.
Halo 2 was more of that. So while everyone was saying "HEY where's Earth," I was having a ton of fun. Want to see Earth? Go outside or go watch Bladerunner. Read some Arthur C. Clarke books, those are cool too. Point is, future Earth has been done into the ground in sci fi.

I can understand this completely, but there's the fact that Bungie advertised Halo 2 completely around a WAR ON EARTH.The n00b wrote:I was probably the only person who was relieved that Halo 2 did not take place completely on Earth.
