Message: [QUOTE="Parasite_Steve, post: 85675, member: 5378"] Commenting just to keep following the thread. I’m really not aware of any off the top of my head. Maybe some indie games? Most game devs don’t strike me as super deep into movies as art unless they’re kojima and he totally revels in obscure b-movie schlock (not an insult mind you). The closest thing I can think of is a couple of games like trek to yomi or ghost of tsushima that take some inspiration from Kurosawa, but he’s become fairly known again and as much as I love his work I still wish devs would finally watch a second Japanese movie from that era. Silent Hill took a lot of inspiration from cult horror movies like Jacob‘s ladder, Tenchu was a huge love letter to 60s and 70s b-movies like kagegari and lone wolf & cub, but the more I think about it the hazier does the term "cult" get. Like I kind of get what you mean, in the thread "what movie/tv show do you wish was made into a game" someone mentioned Švankmajer which would be an excellent vibe for a game. You mentioned the nouvelle vague. While I can’t think of a game inspired by it (I’m sure it would cure my insomnia) there is definitely some dna of the Japanese new wave that was inspired by it, in the killer-themed games of suda51. I’m thinking specifically of Seijun Suzuki‘s work, first and foremost Branded to kill. [/QUOTE]
