A good game becomes a movie? Isn’t it wrong? Aren’t the majority of games made into movies bad? Not really bro. If taken very seriously, there are several video games that have great potential if made into a film.
Some of us must be disappointed with the quality of films adapted from films like Resident Evil. For some gamers, they think that the Resident Evil movie is like a joke.
Then in the past there were more Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat films that did not get appreciation because they were considered not good enough.
Making a film based on a video game is very difficult. Moreover, the majority of games today don’t seem to know the word ending, so the filmmakers seem confused about determining the plot of the film.
Resident Evil in the game alone did not end and even had time to experience a genre identity crisis. So how can the story of the film be good? More or less so.
The only way for the plot and film based on the game to be successful, inevitably the directors have to explore the other side of the game. I don’t think it’s too bad to make a spin off either.
Now let’s forget about the failures of the directors in making films based on video games. Because this time we will discuss about games that will have good potential if a film is made.
Yes, without further ado, let’s just talk about a good game that turns into a movie, Cekidot.
1. The Witcher Series
A good game to be the first film is The Witcher series. Right now, who doesn’t know one of the most phenomenal RPGs in this next gen console era? If you don’t know about this game, really too.
The game that tells the adventures of Geralt of Rivia is indeed incredibly interesting. There is an extraordinary sensation when I personally play this game. Stories that continue to stimulate adrenaline and are sometimes relaxing give a sensation like watching a movie.
If I’m not mistaken, The Witcher had the intention of making a film on Netflix, but in my personal opinion, The Witcher is more suitable as a box office trilogy such as Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight series.
If made into a trilogy, maybe the first series will tell about the origins of Geralt, in the second series it will tell about Geralt’s conflict in the Foltest kingdom, and the third one is Geralt’s search for Cirilla who is being targeted by Wild Hunt.
For dialogue, you don’t have to worry because The Witcher itself is a game based on a novel that is selling well in Poland. But even though it comes from a video game, The Witcher may not be served for all ages if it is made into a film.
Gamers who play this game know very well why this game will not be presented to all ages, hahaha.
2. The Evil Within Series
The dark story of The Evil Within is indeed very worthy of being made into a film. However, if you want to turn this game into a film, what must be raised is the other side of the game itself. That’s because it seems that the game made by Bethesda and Tangor Gameworks has not yet met the end and seems to be continuing into the third series.
Maybe the producers who are interested can take a story about one of the mysterious characters in this game, Leslie or other spinoffs that are still being explored.
The reason this game is interesting enough to be made into a film is not only because of the dark story, but also because there are so many interesting actions that are hard to miss. In this game there are also not many characters like Resident Evil because in this game there are only a few central characters.
The characters in this game also have a good depth of behavior and traits. If this game was actually made into a movie, I would definitely watch it. But before making this film, the directors had to learn from the failure of Silent Hill.
In terms of story and characters, it might not be an exaggeration to include The Evil Within as a good game into a movie.
3. Uncharted Series
The Tomb Raider movie isn’t that exciting because the hero is a woman? Maybe the Uncharted series can be a thirst quencher. Telling the journey of a Nathan Drake, it would be very cool if the Uncharted series was made into a film.
Moreover, Uncharted itself presents a lot of shooting and many dangerous scenes throughout the story. If there really is a director who glances at Uncharted to be made into a film, maybe this film’s action will be like the James Bond films.
The difference is, Uncharted tells about the search for treasure that involves Nathan Drake and his friends. In addition to shooting action, what makes Uncharted interesting to be made into a film is the hand-to-hand combat.
In the game itself, Naughty Dogs as the developer injects a lot of stunning empty-handed actions, one of which is Drake’s battle with Nadine (the hero in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy).
This hand-to-hand combat is as riveting as the film The Raid in my personal opinion. The sensation in Uncharted is what makes me think that Uncharted is a good game as a movie.
4. Crash Bandicoot
A good game to be the next movie is Crash Bandicoot. This game can really be made into a movie because there are so many things that can be explored. What’s more, fans will never get bored of following Crash’s adventures.
The directors could make Crash’s adventure beat N’Oxyde for example. But what needs to be considered is to make this game the directors must be serious. Because this game has an incredibly large fan base, if the film is bad, a lot of people will protest.
Besides that, making a film based on Crash Bandicoot also seems like the director is risking his big name. However, if it is made very seriously, I am still optimistic that the director will immediately receive a lot of sustenance because of the run of this film.
What’s more interesting is that this film can be watched for all ages because there are no excessively loud scenes. Besides that, the funny character of Crash will make parents who run out of children’s films, take their children to the cinema to watch this cartoon.
5. God of War
Until now there are lots of films that take the background of the Greek gods in Olympus such as Percy Jackson or Clash of Titans. Well, if you are not satisfied with the film, maybe God of War can be a solution.
If God of War were made into a movie, it would be really cool. How not cool? We will see the demigod fight to destroy Olympus. Interested directors can make the three God of War series into films.
Moreover, the fan base of this game can be said to be very large. What makes God of War interesting to be made into a film is that the story is very dramatic and also has a lot of cool action in it.
In addition, the majority of Kratos’ opponents in this game are giants, so that it can add to the feeling of tension when this game is actually made into a movie.
