Or have battle cards with japanese models that play a movie of them doing nothing much in a bikini for 10 seconds everytime you use them.

Don't be a prisoner of fate, go fulfill your destiny.

Kojima you sick fucking fuck, I want to castrate you. Make a great game.

the thing about uwe boll is that his game-to-film adaptations have been the most faithful so far.

Silent Hill would be the best game to film adaption so far IMO. I'll laugh if the announcement was just about the new MGS game on the new PSP.

Being the best game to film adaptation doesn't mean Silent Hill is a good movie, because it isn't, it's a load of shit.

i thought the max payne movie was better than the game, and an alright movie.

This is the best video game movie, yes.

Max Payne was awful! I would go so far as to say it was unwatchable

Which video game movie would you prefer, in that case?

it was boring as fuck pretty much and they didn't do it nearly as well as they could but yeah it was an alright GAME movie

That is what I meant, yes.

Exactly.

People bitching over "man Uwe Boll ruined Alone in the Dark my beloved video game franchise why didn't he just copy the vidcon exactly" f dat

"where are the zombies making distorted belching noises that sometimes burst into a room and have such bad AI that they just stand there and essentially FORGET WHY THEY CAME IN"


actually if someone made an accurate movie of the original alone in the dark movie it would probably be hilarious to watch, it would be a comedy

You buffoons stop talking about video game movies and start speculating about Sunny and Johnny, this is what this topic is all about now.

I think Half Life would be a good movie concept if they filmed it in the first person and added more epic imagery.

I loved the Max Payne series of games but I am deliberately not going to see the movie so not to ruin my current experience/mental image of the franchise.

Hey it's a forum! We'll discuss whatever we like man! But yeah, as you wish:

On gamespot they reckon the sony exec who presented the PSP Go in the interview confirmed a new PSP  MGS for the platform. Me and my mate now think there will be two MGS games, one with big boss on the PSP and the other with Raiden/Grey Fox on the PS3. The reason we think there are two games is because the PSP one is sort of confirmed now after the interview, but they have all this leftover tech from MGS4 that they would be fools not to utilise.

time travel.....

uh I was going to say the other night that well I can't find my copy of Final Fantasy VII but I thought the game had lots of atmosphere like someone was saying, like after the 16-bit Final Fantasy games it felt so epic in scope and like the boundaries weren't so clearly defined and this is going to sound gay but it felt like every environment/situation in FFVII was based on /something/, like I dunno I'm sure some kid in the game lost his parents and the dialogue was probably just as bad as every game before it but I believed it more just because of how the whole rest of the game felt, and I even though it would probably feel like emo crap now it did seem to go further than any console RPG would've even attempted, like it seemed scarier and more violent even though lots of rpgs are like a whole village gets masscred but in FF7 it really felt like omg that bastard, and lots of games had slums before but in FF7 it actually felt pretty sleazy and creepy at points, people actually got hurt with swords and guns instead of going psshew and disappearing

I think part of it was that in the NES/SNES games it was very clear what a FF game would and wouldn't do (whether it was Nintendo censorship or just what they chose to put in), so each time FF7 did something unexpected it was like really shocking at that age

but I remember even looking at the previews/walkthru before buying it and it just looked ridiculous on every screen, like I said it felt like lots of images and moments in FF7 were based off a definite memory or idea and felt like they did their homework on who knows what even if it came off as all Engrish and weird

but it's probably most in the Midgar chapter where you don't reach the world map for hours and don't know what a sephiroth is yet

I still like the feel of the graphics too, a lot of Playstation stuff feels like people were really hyped about being able to make stuff in 3D and just did all interesting stuff with it, even though graphics are better now it feels kind of like by the numbers and it's about improving on some previous graphics so it looks kind of samey but a little better, not enough games do really leftfield anymore as far as /how/ things are designed regardless of how good they look - it might have a little to do with how they make game engines now, I dunno?

I remember thinking in 10 years all games will be like this except you can move the camera and stuff but I still don't think any game looks like Final Fantasy VII even though they could by now

another game I want to tip my hat to is Goemon for N64 because regardless of whether the graphics were good they individually rendered every food item with polygons and I don't think any game has done this since

oh wait there was Snake Eater this is why people like Kojima games

Edit: I seriously think this takes a lot of guys, forget uncanny valley crap nobody but Kojima has attempted to make food rendered on a computer look appetizing

Edit: Maybe Shenmue did this too but see Shenmue is also critically acclaimed

Edit: Thinking back I don't think too many games attempt to do this, you could say making a convincing animal (as the hero's pet or something) is a matter of all this skeletal physics stuff but making appealing food seems to be purely a matter of designing it well

I think this aspect of the Metal Gear games is interesting, Kojima is the only guy ever who would have birds shit on you in first-person view and people pissing their pants, like it seems stupid but it probably takes a lot of attention to detail to make these things gross in a realistic way, like if it really happened, not just ren and stimpy gross. There's probably a lot of examples of this, moments in the game where he wants you to really cringe or really get grossed out or dizzy or turned on
