the problem with video game movies is they never stick to the story. they just invent their own. this is why resident evil was such shit. they treated the mansion as if it was some after thought when the entire first film should have taken place there. also screwed up how it looked too.
they did the same shit with silent hill movie but at least it was entertaining, could have been so much better if they had just let konami produce it.
There is no story in gran turismo, the movie is about a dude who gets to compete in this gran Turismo sponsored contest because he was very quick in the game
>the problem with video game movies is they never stick to the story.
That's only part of the problem. A much, much bigger problem is that to adapt a video game into a movie or TV show, means to take things away from the game, to make it fit into a movie. This isn't true for a book adaptation.
If you adapt a book into a movie, you gain things that weren't into the book, because they couldn't be in the book, because of the medium's limitations. Books can't have music. Books can't have images, books can't have actors elevating a character with their performances. So when you take a book and make it into a movie, you lose out on the advantages of books over movies (for instance, the length, or the ease with which you can spend time inside a character's mind without resorting to voice over), but you also gain all of these things, that the book didn't have.
When you adapt a video game into a movie, what is there to gain? Video games already have music, they already have images, they already have actors. They're also longer than movies or tv shows. In reality the movie format doesn't bring anything to the table that a video game doesn't. It just takes away the interactivity and all that that does for immersion. Video game adaptations are pointless in a way that no other type of adaptation is.
Stage plays get adapted all the time and they already include all the elements you've listed. Sometimes you can tell the movie was adapted from a play but they don't get pigeon-holed like video game adaptations do
Stage plays don't have cinematography, or framing, or any of the things that make a movie different from a stage play that was filmed with a single camera on a tripod
books can have images (grangerization), but it makes the books bigger and were seen as an obsessive fandom
Yeah I thought about it while typing it. You can have illustrations in a book, and there's also graphic novels which are a whole other thing. But I think you get what I meant. There are things that movies can do that books can't, and vice versa. But there aren't really any things that movies can do that video games can't, while the opposite isn't true. A video game can do anything a movie can, it's called a cutscene.
>there aren't really any things that movies can do that video games can't
Be considered art.
>considered
You're correct here. Things can't be or not be art. But they can be considered or not considered art, which is a subjective opinion.
Gran Turismo has NO story, it's a racing simulator.
I really like the story of first Hitman movie (2007) which borrowed some elements from games but was actually Agent 47 being cut off / betrayed by the Agency and surviving and assassinating people to solve the case. I know the movie is generally seen as mediocre but it was in no way a failure especially compared to 2015 reboot.
Movies like Max Payne on the other hand are really gay with their stories. All they had to was take the script of the game as it is and cut some corners so the story can fit into a 2h-2h30min frame, but they only end up name dropping important characters to convince the audience that at least one person in production has played the game, and then make unnecessary villain twists and shit. The twist about who murdered Max's family must have been intentionally ridiculous. This movie should have some kind of a reboot but on the other hand no because there are even less competent people in the industry nowadays. It's not totally impossible tho because they are already remaking the Max Payne 1+2 games so something could happen.
>Movies like Max Payne on the other hand are really gay with their stories
i remember when i first saw the trailer in theaters and thought it was a movie about demon hunter guy going after a cult or something, then getting whiplash when it was fricking max payne
They couldn't trust the audience to figure out that the drug makes the user face their inner demons, not actual demons. One thing about the original game isn't that clear is what's the recreational value that Valkyr offers to the user but I guess they do get some kind of a super soldier high about it and then descend to madness later.
Mad Max the game is a noire mystery thriller with psychological elements
Mad Max the movie is a standard action film. It's clear they didn't adapt Valkyr properly because it didn't fit with what they were trying to do with the movie. No one wants to drop out of the action and descend into the main character's temporary madness
What story do you think a fricking racing simulator had, genius???
exactly.
so why name it after a video game with no story or anything that makes it a relevant film adaptation?
It's based on a true story about the video game.
So Sony can keep capitalizing off its few good IPs it has left, after turning the games into Pay2Win
Because it’s a commercial like all video game movies dummy
This I never understand the complains about videogame adapted to movie when they literally never follow the plot
The Kingdom Hearts film series will save cinema.
Gran Turismo doesn't even have a story, what in the frick is this movie about?
>based on the true story of Jann Mardenborough, a teenage Gran Turismo player who was able to become a professional race car driver.
Basically another movie about the israelite's favorite, a Black person.
Just looked at his results, they aren't impressive at all.
It's not about whether he was good, just the fact that he made it. Ganker would understand better but your average anon who doesn't play any sort of sport doesn't realize how difficult it is to go pro, even if you suck, just making it to a professional level is an achievement only around 1% of the population achieves on average.
Racing doesn't seem like it would be. It's 90% reflex, which is something you're born with, not train for.
Even professional racers need to maintain a level of fitness because their endurance is important. I don't think you realize how physically taxing it is to drive a vehicle going hundreds of miles per hour and turning on a dime. Reflexes matter there but you still need physical fitness to endure the strain.
>I don't think you realize how physically taxing it is to drive a vehicle going hundreds of miles per hour and turning on a dime.
How's your racing career going?
Impressive considering it's a Gran Turismo player and not some iRacing autismo
Here come the third worlder homosexuals to start their console war homosexualry
>third worlder
>shilling gamepass
lolno
have you seen Xbox marketshare outside of North America? Idiot.
0% of Mexicans are aryan yet 100% of pol posters are Mexican
It's not my problem Hispanics are fricking moronic
>see Black person on poster
no thanks
Custom racing scene was started by blacks and hispanics
Wow don’t care
No, it wasn't. There was one black guy ever in Nascar before blubbering Bubba.
Thats moronic, like even for Hollywood standards
>career consists of jobbing in lower leagues
>his most notable achievement is flying out of bounds and killing a spectator
>last five years in Japan, no successes
To live his dream is more than most can say, and I guess he's making a decent living, but he's no champion
>his most notable achievement is flying out of bounds and killing a spectator
And now he’s getting a movie made about him? Give me the crack Hollywood is smoking stat
He's not even the only person who got their start playing sims, at least choose someone good.
But can those others be used to sell Gran Turismo™?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jann_Mardenborough#Career_summary
Averaged about 15th.
The makers of the game had a promotional tournament. The winner would get to be an actual real race car driver. The movie is about the guy that won and started driving for real
Oh, that actually sounds pretty cool. Is it a proper documentary or a fictionalized account?
Its supposedly more of a dramatized version of what actually happened. One of those "based on a true story" kind of films
Cope. Toyslop is clearly the next trend after the success of Mario and Barbie. A racing game with literally no story was always a fricking stupid choice.
>Name a more inferior medium
Film
It really isn't "based" on the game, it's a true story that significantly involves the game. Kinda like Tetris.
It's as much of a video game movie as picrel
GT is just about racing cars. There is no narrative. This is like calling a regular football game a Madden video game movie.
Film fails in capturing video games because films are an inferior medium to games. There are far more quality video games based on movies or movie properties than there are quality films based on games.
That’s only because video games have lower standards. A great game equates to a mid film artistically speaking
I disagree with that. There are tons of incredibly artistic original games, like Another World, Betrayer, Detention, Fran Bow, and even stuff like Ubermosh is far more visually interesting and unique than movies praised for their artistry. And that's just from me going down my list of games I've completed 100 percent on Steam. If you're talking about just the narrative, then that's another story, but the narrative has always been the least important part of any work of art ever. There's a reason writers make fun of thriller authors.
bump
You can talk to me about games having lower standards when The Mario Movie isn't the highest grossing film of the year anymore.
That’s because the general populace doesn’t have standards anymore
Why don't they make a metal gear solid film and have Kojima direct it?
Why would Kojima direct a movie when he can direct a video game instead
Kojima invented the camera. Solely off of that, he can direct a real film.
Of course he could, and he practically does every time he directs a video game. These cutscenes last for hours. But why would he direct an actual film, when he can instead direct a video game, which is also a movie because it contains five hours of cutscenes?
MGS is already a moviegame. Reminder that MGS4 has two world records - one for longest cutscene sequence, and one for longest single cutscene in a video game. An MGS movie would be rambling, nonsensical, way too long, and still manage to have no point. There are many reasons why Kojima could never break into movies and had to 'settle' for games.
Oscar Isaac would unironically be kino as snake.
My personal preference would be John Hamm as solid and Cavil as liquid.
Make a movie on the shadow moses incident.
Sammy L as the darpa chief
Alex Daddario as sniper wolf
Annasophia Robb or Hailey Stenfield as Meryl
Shame the Green Mile guy is dead. Not sure who else could play Vulcan Raven
That whole game is so kino
No one wants to watch the characters look at the screen and explain their motivations and feelings for 45 minutes at time without a skip button.
Because MGS has shit overly indulgent writing and the only way it could work is if it’s a generic action movie
60% is way better than I expected
mario movie grossed over 1m a few months ago, homosexual moron benchod
The problem with gaming is that it never has and never will have any class. Gaming will never be comfortable in its own skin and celebrate itself for the things it does best, because everyone involved in gaming with the exception of billionaire execs is an insecure neurotic autistic homosexual with no class or taste of dignity.
>all video game devs on all levels have been subhuman for the entire history of the medium
>all gamers have been worthless homosexuals with no life and no taste for the entire history of the medium
>these days a disturbingly large number of them are trannies as well
>the corporations buying up the entire industry are dogshit
>the journalists are dogshit
>the youtubers and content creators are dogshit
>even the "civilian" commentators are bought and paid for shills
>social media is full of homosexualry and false positivity
>the alt forums like Ganker are full of middle aged homosexuals and third worlder homosexuals that wake up every day to spam the same two or three memes, shill MS for their daily rupees or pesos allotment, and then turn over their shift to the next Pedro or pajeet in line
Gaming is by far the most worthless medium of entertainment and art to ever spawn. They don't even respect their own history. At least Hollywood and various world cinemas have an actual history, with tons of people that are actually invested in protecting it. At least they HAVE something to safeguard and uphold. Gaming on the other hand is the single most undignified and classless field of media there is. Also, the worst mods on this site are Ganker homosexuals.
>class or taste of dignity
class or taste or* dignity
The main reason no video game adaptations won't work is this
>> all gamers have been worthless homosexuals with no life and no taste for the entire history of the medium.
The ripple effects of this isn't discussed as much. Have you seen any filmmaker with a modicum of talent being a gamer, being passionate about any single game to adapt it? Do you see anyone who's a gamer becoming a creative force in the industry?
I'm not talking Scorsese or Lanthimos tier talent but a Nolan or Raimi tier talent. I mention the latter two because even capeshit was at least able to attract those types of guys in order to become successful. People wanting to do vidya are absolute utter hacks like Neil Blomkamp and Duncan Jones, lmao.
Because video games have always been the bottom of the barrel in terms of creativity and writing, despite what Ganker likes to claim. Creators work in videogames because they couldn't make it in film or television. See: Neil Druckman
Wasn't the series they made after The Last of Us quite well received? Then again TLoU always felt like it wanted to be a movie rather than a videogame.
yes but honestly the show was pretty mediocre and the ending was badly adapted, it is funny how people hailed it as a masterpiece when even the original story is quite mediocre and is outdone by multiple other games with the exact same premise.

The movie was in the pipeline for years, Studios don't just greenlight shit on a whim. Sony has been trying to expand their PlayStation brands into other media for a while now, since the PS3 really when they created Powers.
this is 100% true for AAA western game devs and even some japanese ones, indie devs don't give a flying frick and just want to create fun games with interesting stories
define art, homosexual
Games require a very tight story to be considered art. Without that I refuse to call them as such. Granted, I think everything needs a good story to be art.
absolutely malding and seething that his movies are getting dominated by the gaming industry hahaha.
Keep coping. Your medium is shit. It destroys your brain, it is the easiest most dumbshit form of getting dopamine in existence.
I'm not sure what the point is in making a film adaptation of a plotless racing game. Now, if they wanted to make a movie about Resistance, we might have something going on there. The fact that franchise was abandoned after the PS3 generation ended, right when it was starting to hit its stride will never not make me seethe.
Yet another victim of serial mass rapist John Halo.
Don't worry bros, it's good.
Not watching a Black person mc but thanks anyway I guess
Ok racist.
I had to stop myself laughing in the theatre when the trailer for this had the whole "I've know this track inside and out in the simulation!" thing.
>zoomer vidya game movie
this doesn't seem fun or interesting
>zoomer
Gran Turismo as a brand is older than you.
Gran turismo was first released in 1997. Do you even know what zoomer is supposed to mean or do you think it just means "thing I don't like"
Games for zoomers, doesn't matter when first one released(not like you played it anyways).
Projection and take your L like the homosexual you are and think harder before labeling everything as zoomer next time.
Ehm. you need to be 18 to post here, if you want to act like adult at least defend something good like Need for Speed.
You're simply arguing for the sake of arguing now on top of the projection. Gran Turismo is most likely older than you so don't be a moron and call it zoomer so you can save yourself the trouble of looking dumb
stop replying to me, I'm not interested in your kiddie game
>Pozzed Tomatoes
The real question is, when are we getting the pixar animated film adaptation of Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey?
>take the videogame cutscenes
>edit them in a 90 min format
>distribute them in the cinema
>profit
recreate them 1:1 with humans if you want to investa bit on it, and don't adapt shit without story, it's simple
Gran Turismo is a simulator, it has no story, no characters, no cutscenes. It's purely a simulation game based around racing.
Can't stop won't stop
I keep forgetting uncharted was a thing even though I saw it.
>Budget $120 million
>Box office $407.1 million
Didn't do horribly either.
>Box office $407.1 million
>it did better than the indiana jones movie
that's some fricking strong irony right there

>Video games (the biggest market in the world) produces a movie spin-off
>The movie adaptation is bad
>So this means games are bad(?)
This isn't the big checkmate you thought it would be.
The majority of the gaming market is mobile games. It's not your PC and console games that have eclipsed movies and television, it's Angry Birds and Candy Crush.
Video games are the worst story medium known to mankind.
>there are actual people who believe this when tv shows exist
The Wire
Game of Thrones
The Shield
The Sopranos
Television as a storytelling medium when done well is light years ahead of the best videogame story
>Game of Thrones
Did the show not get critical acclaim for it's story when it premiered? Don't be obtuse and I like how you ignored the rest of the list.
Only first season was good, it was building to be amazing but never deliver.
You also haven't given any examples of why tv shows storytelling are better than games.
those stories were great despite they were bound by the limits of serialized tv, for a storyteller not knowing if you'll get another season, or if the actors will be available or if the studio will die in the middle of production sounds like hell, with a movie is a one and done thing and with a book all you need is yourself but with tv there is always the risk of everything needing to change rapidly because of how it's an ongoing thing
Cinematic video games are, yes
All games are
It's a driving simulator without a story. To turn into a movie is prove enough that movie producers are bigger idiots than we even realize
Slow down moron. The movie isn't about the game, it's about a person that was a fan of the games who became a pro racer
That sounds even more moronic than I do.
>Name a more inferior mediu-ACK!
W-What?
lock anon up in the paddy wagon
he doesn't get it
The movie beats up irish?
There's never going to be a better vidya film than Mortal Kombat (1995) and you can't prove me wrong.
