Maybe then they'll name the guy something other then Ryu.

Lol, A BOF without Ryu is like FF without Cid or chocobos, it just won't feel right (even though I change the name to something other than Ryu every time I play one of the games).

If a movie is going to be based off of a game, it has to include all the basic stuff that is a signature to the series. So the guy would need to be named Ryu, have blue hair, and in someway be connected to dragons. Then there'd have to be a girl named Nina, she'd have to be connected to birds or something like that. Thats what I like about BOF, every character isn't just a human, most are animal hybrids or in someway connected to some type of other being. Then again, there's really only so many ways where they can take a story like BOF before running out of ideas.

That's why I stopped liking BOF after #2

Too bad, 3 and 4 where a lot better than 1 and 2 in my option. I don't really think 3 and 4 are like 1 and 2 that much. But 3 and 4 on the other hand are VERY simular. Then Dragon Quarter sucked so bad that I couldn't even bring myself to finish it.

Whoa, I just got the best idea for a movie from a game. WORMS!!! Seriously, who wouldn't want to see a movie about worms blowing eachother up?

I also wouldn't mind seeing a chrono trigger/chrono cross type movie, but I think they already made an anime out of it.

Other than that, Bahamut Lagoon might be cool to make a game out of, but considering thats such an old game without any sequals, that'll never happen.

Then of course theres all the ones everyone else said that would probably make for a good movie. Or at least has the potential to be a good movie, but knowing the film industry, they'll probably screw it up in some way or another.

Wild Arms 2.

a well animated movie. like the cut scenes...*drool*

not that crap series based off wild arms 1


EDIT: OMGGGGG

Xenogears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!! pleaseeeeeeeeee

[ZeroKirbyX]

Starcraft. Imagine another Starship Troopers. XD

Fire Emblem, if done properly, could probably be a good movie. Well, FE 7 maybe. FE 6/8, not so much. Just imagine Dorcas flyin through with an axe. CARNAGE! Or... *Drools* Druid Dorcas with Nosferatu. Awesome XD

^ For god's sake, couldn't someone say it any faster? I mean, it should have been the second post.

Metal Gear Solid is probably the most likely game to ever make a good movie. Why? Cause Hideo Kojima made is feel LIKE a movie.

[carmen]

maybe cause it's based off a movie is why...*snicker*

I still say xenogears.

it would rock your conspiricy theories soxorz!

In some cases this may be true. For a movie to be really successful in regards to a game, the writers, producers, etc need to get a lot of input from the fans to make something they will like.

I like to think that a movie should be seperate from the game (this of course depends on the game). The movie should start a completely different arc in the same world - different characters, with perhaps cameos of the game characters - and leave the original plot/arc/story to the game.

Why? Because they are two different methods of story telling: One watches a movie, and one plays a game.

If you make a movie based off of a game, and yet you have differant characters, a differant setting, and a differant plot, there is no point in even making that movie based off of a game. It totally defeats the purpose, and they would be better off just making an original movie. So yeah, there would be absolutly no point to make a movie BASED off the game, and don't even have the elements that define the game. It would be stupid.

Marry me.

[RuneBlade]

Soul Reaver / Legacy of Kain, pwnage right there i tell ye.

And seriously, worms would pretty much own as a movie. Just imagine the gore in exploding sheep, baseball bats and the good oldschool bazooka.

[Moosetroop11]

And there would be an epic bit in the middle where the evil worm baddie summons concrete donkey onto a good worm settlement, and in the end Boggy B and an evil Darksider would fight with Armeggedon going on... *DROOOOOLS*

mwhahaha, no matter what you guys say. No game plot can be as deep and winding as xenogears.


even though....it'd be like 5 hours long.

maybe a movie like series?

Or a Dune type thing. 6 hours long and considered "One" movie.

Mini Series on SciFi like how the new battlestar galactica series started out
