    I think that Max Payne would make a great movie.It's already so close to one as is.

    There is a Deus Ex movie in the works. Can't say I'm expecting much though. The game's story was great, but i don't see how it can be crammed into a 2 hour movie. They've got plenty of material to work with, so maybe if they cut intelligently.. we'll see.

    Max Payne could bea movie, I suppose. We'd need some new dialogue. If they did one, who would play Max? Timothy Gibbs, who was Max in the game? Only problem there is that he wasn't Max's voice. And who knows ig he's actually a good actor.

    You'd clearly have to look at shorter games, since you can't really compress a modern-day 50+ hours game into a 1.5-3 hour movie.
    Still, Knights of the Old Republic would be really cool. I just really contradicted myself there.

    You gotta see what the "short" means for each game. Some 'short' games are, well, short and cheesy plots. While some longer games, have excellent plots. You don't really have to put in *all* their movements :D
    (imagine a movie that has sidequests!!! aiyee....)

    Of course, you could just take the characters and the world then dump then into impromptu situations...

    There is actually a Max Payne movie planning to be realised. The actors are currently unknown, but if you check out the man behind the voice of Max, he could fit as him.

    I would like to see a Doom movie, although there's one currently planning.

    Devil May Cry would be a great movie.

    But i suppose if they brought that out it may look like something from UnderWorld. But if the character in DMC was as acrobatic in the movie as he is in the game then it would be tons better.

    Someone is writing a script, thats all... big whoop. I could write an Ikaruga script, that doesn't mean they'd make a movie of it.

    Anyway, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem could be done well, especially in light of the success of Donnie Darko.

    A XenoSaga/XenoGears movie would be awesome. But, well, it'd be longer (just as long) as the LOTR movies.

    As far as feasibility, you can probably make a great movie of Max Paine (as mentioned) and I'd like to see a Castlevania movie too. Preferably something along the lines of Dracula X.

    I think they are already making a Devil May Cry movie.

    I'd like to see Prince of Persia and Soul Calibur 2 maybe made in to movies.

    Resident Evil would maybe be nice if they actually did a good job unlike the last one. They should be in a mansion or some place cool like that. It should also be scary instead of making one want to cry in grief at horridness.

    Sorry if you liked it.

    But they are making another so maybe they won't botch it. We can only hope.

    I always felt the Soul Reaver games would make a great movie, maybe with Joaquim Phoenix as Raziel....Res.Evil 2 has already been made, I think.

    I second that! The Legacy of Kain series would convert wonderfully, if it was done right, and it's got the sequel potential that movie makers love. XD Besides, with all the computer-generated characters out there these days, I think Raziel would look incredible in his semi-decomposed state. And some of the other clan leaders would just be stunning... Melchiah, eheheh.

    Of course, it'd be awful to see the series dealt a blow by bad movie adaptions. That happens all too often, you get a terrific series (books, games, whatever) and the spin-offs ruin it. ~_~;

    One big flaw I see is this: You know they'd want to include a lot of pre-fall Raziel (y'know, before he's a soul-sucking revenge-obsessed thingy with no lower jaw) just to attract teenage girls. We've already seen numerous examples of that in other fandoms. I shudder to think what it would be like if the preteen crowd was fawning over one of my favorite videogame series just because "OMG Raziel is sooooo hot!!!1!!1!!" X_x;
