The game Bioshock, along with others, would make a great film or novel.

believer I do agree with you to a certian extent. A good videogame plot like GOD of War, Bioshock, or Metal Gear could [note the word could] make a relatively decent movie, but then again it could be an utter disappoitment. Now Bioshock is a kik *ss game but the problem with you choosing this game as an example is that the game is too openended to be a movie. Games like this and KotOR have more then one ending, and being a person who loves video games, it would really suck to have the movie producers chop the game down and confine it to one biased ending. That would really cause great controversy [did I spell that right] amoungst the viewers, who would most likely be gamers, becuase half of the audiance would prefer one ending while the other half would prefer another. Even if the people who made the movie created a completely alternate ending seperate from the game it would still leave many viewers very dissapointed. On another note I'd like to adress previous movies based off videogames. Now can anyone honestly tell me a good movie based off a videogame? I doubt it. The only one I can think of is Mortal Kombat, and that was made years ago. Go to wikipedia and look up "List of films based on video games", then look down that list and honestly ask yourself if more then five of those twenty-six American videogame based movies, are actually any good. . . No its ok, I'll wait. . . Are you done? Good, then how many are there. . . LESS THEN THREE! WOW I'M SHOCKED! [not] Movies like DOOM, TombRaider, and Resident Evil were straight up garbage. Its amazing to think how someone could take a great game like DOOM, or BloodRayne, or Reisdent Evil and end up with crap like that. It should be illegal to f*ck up the name of a perfectly good videogame like that, but it isn't and as a result videogames are doomed to suffer like this. If I didn't know better, I'd say videogames are cursed to never become good movies, and it isn't always to fault of the videogame either. Plots like Resident Evil, FinalFantasy, and BloodRayne shoud have been great movies, but they werent, and its a shame. Like I said earlier, its not alway the fault of the videogame, cause with games like Assasains Creed, and God of War2, its hard to imagine them becoming bad movies, but in most cases they are. Most vg's that become movies are crap because the producers strive to make the movie more then the game was by giving it a plot that has nothing to do with the game, or trying to extend its boundaries beyond what the game should be restricted to, and then they leave too many unanswered questions. Resident Evil is the perfect example of this. Other times the producers make the plot too simple, and you end up with half of these stupid Pokemon movies. Most often though the producers dont know what the hell theyre doing. I thnk half the movies on this list are proof of that statement. [most notably DOOM and Tomb Raider] Like I said earlier, don't get me wrong, I LOVE videogames! I've been playing videogames since before I learned how to read or write, [probably why I have carpul tunnel syndrome] so I know a good game when I see one. I completely understand you when your amazed by a videogame, and cant stop thinking about the plot even after youve beaten it. Games like Assasains Creed, Fable:TLC , Half Life, BioShock, and Jade Empire are perfect examples. Games like these could make AWSOME MOVIES! And I don't say the word awsome unless I mean it. But dude I live in the real world, and the real world has proven time, and time again that videogames just don't turn out to be great movies. Novels, yes, films no. If you voters live in the real world too, then youll vote con. [this was a good debate, I enjoyed it, and I would also enjoy a good movie based on a vg, but I know the chances of that are slim to none] P.S. PS3 ROCKS! X-BOX 360 is oaky. Wii, no comment.
