>video game movie fails
Must be nice to have been born after 2010 to think this is news.
Angel Harris
Hopefully.
Ayden Sanders
No, Sup Forumsirgins are born everyday.
Same for capefags
Ethan Parker
You know Food Fight? The movie that was made and largely bankrolled start to finish by amateurs outside the studio system who wanted total creative control?
This is what you get when a movie like that is finished to release standard. A forgettable movie. Studios don't make so many movies to flood out the little guy with his great one-shot, they make that many because no matter how great they are, some movies just don't sell and you end up losing a lot of money if you don't spread your bets.
Jordan Hall
Wait till Warcraft and Assassins Creed come out
Grayson Bell
See, this I have no problem failing, because it's a movie based off an old as shit mobile game. Plus it's like 6 years late to the punch.
Oliver Williams
the stories of video games are just filler to advance the player from one area to another, so they dont translate well at all to the big screen
though its kinda funny that a game with absolutely no story at all still manages to produce a shit movie
Jonathan Martin
If you can't smell the putrid stink of critical and financial failure by watching the Warcraft trailers, I don't know what to tell you.
Matthew Cruz
>Plus it's like 6 years late to the punch.
This is what I'm wondering about. When I was in highschool, AB was everywhere, why is it coming out now?
Wyatt Lee
Screw you guys. Street Fighter is going to be an awesome movie, and Jean Claude van Dam is a total badass. And Raoul Julia as Bison? That guy's just a class act who will be making movies we'll all love for years to come.
Charles Jackson
I'll watch it to support Davd Bowie's son.
Jeremiah Jackson
so better game
Jeremiah Gomez
I'm watching it because orc girls are my fetish.
Mason Gutierrez
Sometimes. RPGs and adventure games do have a strong focus on story, but they have the opposite problem - the story is too extensive to adapt.
James Bailey
Isn't Nintendo making animated featured films?
are they doomed?
Justin Collins
>we live in a world where Angry Birds got a fucking movie about 6/7 years too late
>and Minecraft got a story mode game, which will probably be made into a movie later
Kayden Gomez
I can only see it ending terribly unless NoA is in charge of it.
Joshua Reyes
Lightning will strike twice and they become Marvel 2.0
Noah Bell
RPGs also usually have the luxury of being told over the course of way more than 2 hours so even if your protag is kind of a jerk there's tons of time to develop him
Alexander Cook
Dunno, this looks kinda funny. It'll probably fucking suck though.
Owen Moore
They were waiting to see how Angry Birds and Warcraft perform.
Whether its critically, or finacially, they might not bother at this point.
Christian Rivera
Nintendo already has a very successful film franchise with one of their properties (Pokemon).
And it seems like, to kids, anything Mario, Sonic, or Pikachu do can do no wrong
Carson Reed
last I checked Rob McElhenney was directing the Minecraft movie
Thomas Phillips
Warcraft will be a C at best. Assassin's Creed is either going to be the best video game movie up to that point, or turn out to be a pile of shit.
That said, the AC trailer gave me some hope
Sebastian Jones
Honestly, I can see Nintendo going stingy on the budget, they'll probably shit out low budget movies like R&C.
Joseph Torres
The Five Nights at Freddy's movie could be really good if the director wasn't so bad and they got someone who knew horror.
Mason Edwards
I still haven't heard much about that.
Joshua Turner
The Five Nights at Freddy's GAMES could be good if they had the exact same things.
Brandon Rodriguez
Dude the audience of FNAF is primarily 5 year olds on Youtube. Of fucking course they're going to hire a director whose best work is Monster House.
Brayden Miller
is FNAF still relevant?
I remember it was only around for like a couple months before its creator decided to stop milking it
Alexander Martinez
>Implying Critics aren't swatting it down because it doesn't conform to their pro-immigration liberal agenda
Gavin Long
Warcraft is going to fucking bomb. AssCreed might have a better shot assuming they don't Prince of Persia it, which they might
Connor Sanders
Are we still pushing this meme?
Parker Bennett
I kind of liked Monster House. It was no masterpiece, or anything, but it's a nice flick to have on in the background while decorating the house for Halloween.
You do have a point about how all of the other movies that director had done is crap though. I mean that Poltergeist remake was utterly pointless.
Blake Hernandez
They're swatting it down probably because a lot of their favorite actors are wasting their talents on Angry Birds. The only VA who makes sense for this garbage is Josh Gad, who's essentially just playing bird Olaf.
Angel Sanders
Video Game movies are a bad idea for one simple reason. Video games in many cases tell their stories through gameplay.
If you take away the gameplay, then you take away a major tool by which video games entertain. It's the equivalent of taking away sound and color for a modern movie. Taking away the gameplay cripples what makes a game special.
Robert Fisher
Went to "see" it yesterday.
It had some funny parts.
Chase Russell
i still remember the first commercial i ever heard for the Mortal Kombat movie...
"Street Fighter. Super Mario Brothers. Double Dragon.
What do these movies all have in common?
THEY SUCKED
DUN-DUN-DUN-DUDUN-DU-DUN-DUN-DUDUNDUN-DUNT
PREPARE YOURSELF!
...and pretty much every video game movie since then has sucked, too.
Except for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, that shit was TIGHT.
Joseph Hall
Well, the fact that it actually, kinda makes sense does make it amusing.
Connor Edwards
Telltale don't make video games so its more like minecraft the interactive choose your own adventure with no choices experience.
Lincoln Myers
Ironically, Monster Hunter was actually pretty good, motion capture aside.
Thomas Long
you forgot to outline all the triangles in red and reference the masonic all-seeing eye
Owen Edwards
That's pretty neat
Matthew Stewart
>NoA
>not wildly incompetent
Josiah Morris
>Hunter
Fucker, if you taunt me about a monster hunter movie, I will find you.
Carter Taylor
>it's a "Sup Forums white knights for Muslims" episode
Camden Howard
Monster House had Dan Harmon & Rob Schrab writing
Alexander Thompson
>Universal Studios Japan has a MonHun exhibit
Adrian Turner
I cant wait for 2 different English versions of the same movie
American audiences cant relate to a character that spells with an "ou" after all
Evan Walker
Assassin's Creed gives me hope solely on the fact that they're doing the smart thing: Tell the story in the same world but outside the main characters
Ryan Fisher
I'm sure he needs your support at this difficult time when he's just come into at a minimum, I'd say tens of millions of dollarydoos
I mean his grief for his father is literally so great that he'll never work again if this overblown turkey of a movie doesn't have your support, because between the depression of losing a parent, which as we all know nobody in the history of humanity has ever managed, and the lack of an income, he will surely starve to death
Jeremiah Murphy
PoP movie is thebest video game movie made for now
Adam Barnes
They fucked up with that movie the minute they included all that Abstergo shit. Even the games are ashamed of that nonsense at this point.
Jose Williams
Prince of Persia is the best video game movie in that it is just mediocre.
Gabriel Wood
That depends, did it flop in the box office?
Caleb Cruz
It would have been a lot better if they had cast Kanye West as the lead.
Adam Powell
god that fucking Kanye West song sucked. The trailer was pretty promising otherwise
Camden Williams
It was an odd choice. That's the worst song on Yeezus. They could have used Jesus Walks. That's a more fitting Kanye song for this.
Camden Rivera
Better for all this to happen in a short span of time than over the course of years.
It's inevitable that studios would think something like this would be the next "comic book movie" fad, but it's quite clear it's going to crash n' burn hard.

Is it any surprise that Sony is behind half these trainwrecks?
Like the Silent Hill and Resident Evil movie franchises haven't been all the warning signs that were needed.
Caleb Morales
>Pokemon movies
>Good

Blake Evans
They keep focusing on making movies out of games that don't even have plots in the first place. That's a big part of the problem.
Yeah that's what I'm talking about. Adapt a video game with an actual plot and maybe this will be better.
Cameron Rivera
Sometime I forget how big Pokemon The Movie was. It got a fucking tie in song in the late 90s back when only big blockbusters like Will Smith's Men in Black got tie in songs.
Ryder Foster
Street Fighter is, unironically, one of my favorite movies. It's the best.
Benjamin Martin
That movie has one good line.
Bison: "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday."
Anthony Wood
I never liked ratchet and clank, dunno why everybody has a huge boner for it.
never played angry birds because it just looks like a generic casual game.
call me when they make movies about good games
Charles Thomas
Damn, haven't heard this song in a minute.
My sisters bought the soundtrack, and I listened to it all the time.
Leo Anderson
A part of me is glad to see these pop-culture humour cartoons struggling and being unsuccessful.
Cameron Turner
VIDYA KINO XDDDXD
William Harris
japs are too busy making pokemon knock off movies
Ethan Martin
Based Warcraft is going to break the curse
oh who am I kidding
David Hernandez
Well, they're busy doing that and using Pikachu to promote the release of Straight Outta Compton
Juan Taylor
I guarantee it won't get above 25% on RT.
Isaiah Anderson
Warcraft is so bad the developers said that it wasn't canon.
Dylan Morris
what? it actually looks pretty good and china is gonna eat it like rice, pretty sure it won't have any problem making back the money they wasted on production.
I just hope they give it more advertising, it's fucking near and still nothing outside the youtube channel trailers
Logan Bailey
>Implying YoKai Watch is a Pokemon ripoff
Top kek dude
Jaxon Foster
good games can be terrible movies because their plots and stories are too simple or too complicated, what it makes a good game is the way you play and sometimes that can't be put in a movie.
Jaxson Perry
welp, time to contemplate suicide again
John Williams
you're wrong in my opinion
Noah Williams
oh you poor thing
Jonathan Murphy
>video game
>movies
Not comics or cartoons.
Evan Sanders
Angry birds is not a video game
Juan White
Seriously. That line was so far above everything in the rest of the movie.
The only other thing that comes close was
>Dee Jay:"I don't get paid enough for this."
>Zangief:"You get......paid?"
Everything else from that movie has been overwritten in my memory by the vastly superior Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie
Jackson Myers
it's not as bad as this youtube.com
Aiden Brown
I know what you mean user. Truly, we will never see anything more glorious than 3 pikachus dancing to a Dr. Dre classic. If it doesn't get any better, what's the point of living?
Joseph Perry
Every Street Fighter movie got overwritten in my mind by "Ooohhh, Angel! Come it's the dawn of brand new day!"
Lincoln Edwards
Wreck it Ralph was great.
And not because it wasn't based on an actual video game, but because it had an actual story and decent writers and not just a gimmick. You can't really make a good movie out of just a gimmick. That's why Batman vs Superman failed.
Jeremiah Myers
Eh, it's just a modern variation of Kriss Kross doing the Rugrat Rap
Elijah Richardson
Fuck the Police
Henry Lewis
what about pixels? it was good r-right?....
Daniel Kelly
b-but I thought Sup Forums was always right
Josiah Miller
>Thinking Pixels was good
Are- are you Kevin James?
Wyatt Gutierrez
>that scene when Terry blew the whole top floor of the parking garage with a Power Wave
I'd put it above the Street Fighter Alpha movies, but tied with SFII:TAM. Seeing t-shirt-and-panties Chun Li do Senretsu Kyaku from Balrog's point of view was awesome.
What?
No, the guy with the claws is Balrog. Vega is the red PSYCO CRUSHAAAA guy (the boxer's name is Mike Bison).
Juan Harris
>stop milking it
That never happened. He made 4 total jump scare games and an RPG.
Angel Ward
Assassin's Creed is directed by the same guy as Macbeth, so I have some hope
Elijah Parker
This needs to be a banner
Carter Wood
I thought it looked funny.
Hudson Wilson
>4
Isn't there another one on the way?
