Don't spam. Last warning.

And TDB, breasts are all fine and great, but if the movie blows, I really don't care.

And the Resident Evil games are the best horror-shooters every created. Hands down. So, the movies don't even come close to comparing.

I)eadnerzhul · May 4, 2008

I liked the old ones for the Playstation. The new ones... are... well, gay.

brad.dude03 · May 4, 2008

Dude, how can you tell me, without lying, that Resident Evil 4 on Wii sucked? It was great!

How much breasts in a movie does it take to convince you..

If you want a movie, go watch a movie. If you want breasts, go watch porn. Porn movies have little to no plot for a reason.

brad.dude03 · May 4, 2008

Yes, but to play the Devil's Advocate here for a minute: What if you want breasts and a plot?

Total Recall had breasts and a plot. Hell, one girl had three.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Unfortunately, I don't know much about Diablo, except for there being a powerful demon that wants to get something from deep within mount Arriet or something... I only saw the trailer.

That was on TV again recently, but by the time we realised, it had passed and we were unable to watch.

Arnie's finest moment.

Starcraft movie would absolutely pwn. I would love to see millions of zerglings being blow to bits by marines in bunkers. And then Infested terrans blow the holy snap outa everything.

Anduril · May 6, 2008

And then Dark templar would kill Infested Terrans, on and on until someone nukes like 5 times at once (it's so much fun) and then everyone dies, the camera supposedly melts, and the movie (or at least that battle scene) is over

I)eadnerzhul · May 6, 2008

Plain battle movies are stupid and pointless. A movie without a plot is like... well a story or a video game without a plot. I don't want to pay 8 bucks to see a bunch of (sarcasm) PvP'ers grind honor when I could just do it myself... I want to see some STORY!

They already did a movie like that, but the name escapes me... But I would go see a Starcraft movie.

Anduril · May 6, 2008

Exactly, that's why Starcraft COULD be good if they did it right, but so could most of these
Fight movies are annoying; that was one of the reasons I didn't really like The Forbidden Kingdom, there was a plot, but it was (really) predictable and there was rather a lot of fighting. It was an OK movie, but not in my top ten by any means

EDIT: darn lag
I was responding to I)eadnerzhul's reply

BlackArmsShadow · May 6, 2008

What would you like to come out first though? A Halo movie or a Starcraft movie?

I)eadnerzhul · May 6, 2008

I actually WANTED to see the Forbidden Kingdom. Jet Lee (right?) and Jackie Chan?! When I saw the commercial my jaw dropped and I was like "NOWAI" and "WTFHAXORZ" at the same time.

Edit: Halo, they already got samples... Arms Race and some other ones, I think. Pretty sweet.

Ravager · May 6, 2008

When (or if) they make a Halo movie, I wonder who will play seargant? I'd be happy to see Will Smith play seargant and do what he did in independence day but to a covenant or flood. "Welcome to Earth!" Punch.

I)eadnerzhul · May 7, 2008

Will Smith is a GREAT actor, but not the right guy to portray Sgt. Johnson. Something about him just... well, doesn't fit.

How did you pronounce that? Wtkhaxnowaiorz? :hohum:

I was an OK movie, if you like that kind of thing. I did notice that there was more Jackie Chan/Jet Li in the preview than the main character!

I)eadnerzhul · May 7, 2008

I thought the two Martial Artists WERE the main characters. Wow, that turns it off.

Is it Starship Troopers?

TheDivineBoss · May 7, 2008

Haha XD

That aint even related to Starcraft, that's made by Paul Verhoeven.

I)eadnerzhul · May 7, 2008

I think I saw a LITTLE bit of it once... Something about these insect-like aliens obliderating humans in funny looking spacesuits... yeah.

brad.dude03 · May 8, 2008

Starship Troopers is an excellent movie, its a sad portrayal of the realities of the horrors of war. But that's not what this topic is about. The fact that it was some Dutch director is irrelevant, because the book was still better.

ANYWAY, lets all get back on topic folks.

Grade A Kill · May 8, 2008

Horrors of war? yeah people nowadays dont face bugs that snip them in half. but anyway yeah back to the to.pic

Halo for sure, hell they were making a movie, but i heard they canceled it because too many people knew about it, thats what i heard.

brad.dude03 · May 8, 2008

1) Are you daft? The BUGS aren't the horror! The horror of war is the glory, the characters think that they are going to fight a glorious war, and come back to have their lives back to normal. This is obviously not the case. War is not a glorious thing at all, and that's what this movie is trying to demonstrate. Christ.

2) A Halo movie is on hold. It's being directed by Petetr Jackson. Please try and find factual information first before spewing it out of your mouth. It's on hold because PJ is working on another multimedia Halo project that he's hushing all the details about.

I)eadnerzhul · May 8, 2008

But we know one thing for sure: Master Chief will FINISH THE FIGHT! soon in a theatre near you!

BlackArmsShadow · May 8, 2008

The Halo movie won't continue where Halo 3 left off, thats for sure. It's probably going to be based off of the first game. And yeah, Starcraft sort of is a Starship Troopers 'clone' just like how Warcraft takes a lot of ideas from Lord of the Rings. Another fine example of blizzard's declining creativity. I still love their games.

I)eadnerzhul · May 9, 2008

You can't say that they take it from there without any physical evidence. It's like saying that "the sky is purple" when it's really blue. Someone once made a pretty nonsensical comparison... "Lordaeron Militia-Rohan Milita"... it just doesn't mean anything.

BlackArmsShadow · May 12, 2008

Warcraft in general takes ideas from LoTR, then again, most fantasy-♠medieval themed movies, books and video games take ideas from LoTR.

I)eadnerzhul · May 12, 2008

Now that's more like it.

Gilles · May 12, 2008

How about a movie based on an original game? Space invaders, or Pong! Maybe even tetris!

If a Half-Life movie got good directors like Michael Bay or the guys who did the Matrix working on it, it wouldn't suck. Why do you have such a low expectation for Hollywood, Brad? Oh yeah, if they got the writers for the game itself to help with the script, that would help.

they failed us before

Anduril · May 13, 2008

How could you have a tetris movie? Does the game even have a plot? Or pong? I mean, Half Life or Halo, they're one thing, but PONG? Let's have an epic battle between two, erm, MIGHTY TITANS (yeah, that'll work) who are trying to hit a, um, BALL OF DESTINY past the other to SAVE THE UNIVERSE. Amazingly, the game looks like a gameplay video! Astounding!
But really, plot is essential unless you want some poor spin-off of an OK game. As for Pong's graphics.......

I'm sorry, but I just need to share some feelings with you with the following onomotopia (those words that represent sounds).

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... *breath* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Gilles · May 15, 2008

TheDivineBoss, thank you for squashing that n00b.

I)eadnerzhul · May 15, 2008

I stand by what I said before. I am, how you say in ze' America, "Laughing my asses off!"

(Yeah, I know it really stands for "Laughing my ass off," but I wanted to make a little joke. So there)

Alright, I was wrong, I admit it
Can you find me a Pong Movie?
Anyway, making up a plot to fit a game like Tetris could be inteesting, but watching a movie with a familiar plot (from a familiar game) is comforting. Take Pokemon for example

I)eadnerzhul · May 16, 2008

I personally lost all interest in pokemon. I was only into it when I was young (REALLY young). But I did like the games when I was a little kid. I still have Ruby/Fire Red lying around somewhere...

Ping Pong, Pong, the same right?

Anduril · May 17, 2008

Not.....really. I meant a movie based on the Video Game Pong (which, yes, is based on Ping Pong)

Gilles · May 20, 2008

Anduril you do realize I was kidding right?

Thought I'd share this. The worst game to movies ever.

wugiboy · May 20, 2008

starcraft would pwn it has a lot of possibilities, a good(and not fucked up) story, and for the longest time evil wins there(which makes possibilities for sequels till good finally wins?)

I)eadnerzhul · May 20, 2008

You know what they should make? An Overlord movie. I NEVER saw a movie where the badguy wins that was POPULAR.

MySpaceBarBroke · May 21, 2008

Close enough, right?

Dude, we watched that Ping Pong movie in Japanese class. It kicked hardcore ass.
Pfft, I could hardly say that last part with a straight face.

BlackArmsShadow · May 27, 2008

Why would you want a Pong movie? Pong sucks. Grand Theft Auto movie anyone?
