What video game would you like to see being made into a movie?

Asked by Berserker (33548points) March 26th, 2011

A lot of us gamers are aware that game based movies generally don’t do too well. Regardless of the profits made, plenty of fans gripe about the movie, usually because it isn’t faithful to the game, or is something else entirely. Some are respectable. Like Mortal Kombat. I mean, at least it tried, and it’s still fun to watch. (the first one anyways) But stuff like Super Mario Brothers, Street Fighter or Resident Evil…damn, man. I did like Silent Hill a lot…still, I didn’t ask this to voice my opinions about what’s good or not. (but if you wanna do that, it’s fine, but answer the question, too)
So, what video game that hasn’t been made into a movie you think SHOULD be made into one?

Personally, I think that Parasite Eve would make an excellent movie. The game is quite unique with its content, I don’t see too many games like this. Thing is it plays more like a movie than a game, I mean with how the story is presented and what it is. The dungeons are also a part of something that’s relevant to what goes on in the game, instead of just being there under the pretext that because it’s an RPG, it needs dungeons. I think it would work damn fine as a movie, and considering the large fanbase, I’m actually surprised it isn’t a movie. (probably because SquareEnix, known as Squaresoft in the past, was too busy milking their damn Final Fantasy franchise.) it’s a pretty short game, but it tells a damn interesting story. I think maybe legal rights issues may, or might have, prevented this from going to the silver screen because the game is actually a sequel to a Japanese novel.
Er but anyways. What game do you think should be made into a movie, and why?
