Message: [QUOTE="Strategist, post: 25314, member: 767"] The problem with video game movies is that most of the properties they are converting into movies are already poor copies of existing film franchises. Why would a movie going audience ever get behind an Uncharted or Tomb Raider movie when there are so many Indiana Jones movies that do the same premise but better? They need to be more selective with the type of franchises they pick. Fallout and the Witcher are good examples of games that have enough unique flavor and twists on traditional premises to make them interesting adaptation material. I still die on the hill that a Final Fantasy movie could've been great if they picked the right material to base it on, but I haven't seen that become reality despite multiple attempts. To me the best "video game" movies made are those that are completely disconnected from actual video game properties. Something like Wargames, Existenz or the Matrix. They use the video game hobby or computers as a premise for a movie instead of an actual game universe. [/QUOTE]
