I would like to see a Shenmue trilogy, that way we may be able to get the dang story finished. I think it would have to be an Anime movie to have the proper impact though, as Hollywood wastes everything decent.

They were a bit rubbish though.

I'd like to see games companies promote interest in fan fiction for their titles - and then perhaps publish a compilation of the best ones. Final Fantasy, Zelda, Morrowind and any other epic game would fit the idea perfectly.

Yeah, that's true.

I feel this argument is getting nitpicky and pedantic now, so I think I'll shut up. Looking back, lalakersrule didn't exactly say what I thought he did - it was what somebody else said that threw me.

I think we all understand each other now anyway :-)

It's dubious that the film would be a direct copy. Games don't translate direct to film without a lengthy process of changes.

Right, you're mixing up cliches with direct copies.

Quite a few, er, Red Faction would make a good film, as would silent hill. Max Payne that would be a class game to film transfer. Half Life, don't know, what do you think? But I think the best ones to do would be either, MGS, Splinter Cell or Grand Theft Auto: VC.
