"Which film would make a good game?"

What films do you think would make excellent games. I know there is Die Hard etc., But what do you think of these -

Gone in 60 seconds

Gladiator

Lethal Weapon

Blade

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

What do you think? Any other suggestions?

First Blood (the first Rambo film).

It could be a mix of genres from beat 'em up in the police station, off road racer with the police car chasing the motorbike, stealth 'em up in the woods alongside some nice puzzle elements, and a combination of genres for the shootout in the town at the end.

Gone in 60 seconds - Driver is already out (basically the same)

Gladiator - What type of game?

Lethal Weapon - 1st person shooter? Sounds good

Blade - Already one on the PS, apparantly it was poop

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - A beat 'em up? Could be good



Anyway, most games based on films are pretty much bull plop, except of course Goldeneye ;)

The thing is with games based on films the game developers do not have the creativity to do levels. A lot of Bond films revolve around immense action scenes then a lot of the time have more quiet scenes. As a result game developers are very much restricted in making their game good without editing the storyline too much.

I don't think any film can make a good game really. Goldeneye of course is an exception. Out of all those though I'd have to say Gone in 60 Seconds but it would again be limited. Once you have stolen all the cars.. then what is going to happen in the game?

What about Metal Gear Solid? Like it did on Playstation, people might prefer the stealthy approach rather than the traditional all-guns-blazing routine. If done properly the MGS would be much better than Mission Impossible for example. How would you have play Solid Snake?

Revolver Ocelot - Sean Connery (when he had long hair like in The Rock)

CT,HD is being made for the GC.

Rambo was done, as a commando style scrolling game on the 8-bits. Not bad either as I recall.

Nah, you want genre changing film based games. Programmers would have to think about exactly how to impliment the stranger end of the film market, it would be good for them too.

Naked Lunch (try saving your game on THAT typewriter Resi Evil fans!)
Hellraiser (Pinhead jigsaw anyone?)
When Harry Met Sally (orgasm mini game, anyone?)
Clockwork Orange (the game would spark more controvesy than the film, no doubt)

Really? Just a couple of questions

Whose developing it?
What sort of game will it be?

> Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

It's the "We Can Fly In Trees!" game.. sigh.

I think Braveheart would be a good game because it would be like a command and conque game were you battle the English to win and at the end of the game have a clip of the end of the game where he is getting his guts putted out with a hook and he crys freedom and have a paragraph saying that Scotland fougth on and got the independants.
