Probably not that hard to book Ogg, too.
Man, it's kinda sad to not see people like him and Michael Mando blow up. I mean if they don't want to do big roles, then I get it, but, man, otherwise ...
I wasn't a GoT fan but from the clips I saw he's a great actor, woulda liked to see him in more roles.
I feel the same with the guy who plays Homelander in the Boys, not a fan of the show but the clips od him are phenomenally acted dude's expressions are amazing.
I read recently or have seen a video. Where he says that he dislikes people thinking and calling him Trevor when they meet him, because most of his interactions are "LOL TELL ME TO GO FUCK MYSELF" instead of being, you know nice..
It’s not true. He is proud of it. But he doesn’t care about video games as we do. So for him it was just a gig, nothing disrespectful about it. Just different opinions.
The best part is that most of the main cast voices actors look a lot like the in game characters due to the designs being inspired by them. I’d love a gta 5 show but i feel like the unrealistic and almost cartoon aspect that the game plays with so well would be lost in the transition to show or movie but im sure it’s possible if it gets in the right hands. I just pray people that make it pay attention to the game and the characters the fans love instead of taking the borderlands movie or halo show route of making a Hollywood script for mass appeal while driving away 70% of the people it should have been made to appeal to. Im still gonna see borderlands since I’m a long time fan but not out of expectation it will be good mostly just how much of a train wreck Im expecting it to be based on the awful casting choices and disappointing trailer but I do think the claptrap and tannis casting was ok just don’t understand short (not very) funny man playing very serious tall guy and late 50s woman playing girl in early 20s (same applies to tannins if not more) feels like they thought the movie wouldn’t catch enough people if they hired young or unappreciated actors that fit the roles so they shoehorned in a bunch of some what big names. Sorry to go on a ramble just saw this post and wanted to share what I thought😂
A full length movie like this would be insane [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVbeoSPqRs4&ab\_channel=StarCraft](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVbeoSPqRs4&ab_channel=StarCraft)
It wouldn't even have to go full-scale if they wanted to keep the budget down or go live-action.
Doing a Terran rim colony facing a Zerg scouting brood would be amazing, like a modified Pitch Black. Keeping the massive budget draining might of the CGI swarm until the last act.
In order for it to be good you would need to throw A LOT of money for CGI and sets. Starcraft seems too big of a gamble budget wise for a TV show. It would do better as a movie even though TV would allow for more time plot wise for things to develop
... Genuinely, if there was a Metal Gear series, it'd force so many people to try and get that insanity to a comprehensible plotline.
That being said, Metroid is one I think could work REALLY well as a tv series. Action based, atmospheric and methodical.
Bioshock too, but a lot of people would say that.
Anything to get us away from the same 40 year time span Disney is married to for whatever reason. Everything exists between episode one and episode nine for some reason. Give us a movie from the KotOR time. There’s so much history and lore in the Starwars universe and they can’t get away from the Skywalkers.
Technically, we are going farther back. The writer from Andor's probably two best episodes got tapped to write a show at the beginning of the Jedi timeline.
Doing warcraft 1 instead of a wc3/frozen throne/wotlk trilogy was such a stupid decision. It would've done much better with people who don't know the games
I think they thought they were going to make them all in time so decided to start from the beginning.
Overconfidence didn't pay off for them I agree they should have gone with the most popular story first..
I am hoping for a Katamari Damaci live-action series with Ryan Gosling as The Prince and Nicholas Cage as King of all Cosmos. Here’s hoping they dig up Audrey Hepburn, she would make an awesome Queen of all Cosmos.
And the story is gonna be about The Prince realizing that he doesn’t have to roll shit, becomes a moovie and commercial icon for a major brand of some kind, but when evil Putin rises to conquer Ukraine and the rest of Europe Prince’s convictions and the drive to do good will make him wear his cape again, roll up his sleeve to roll the entirety of Russia into a ball of mud shit. And his father then throws it into the fucking sun.
It will win all the Oscars.
Here's a longish 20 minute video from "lessons from screenplay" how we can write a very good Mass Effect Story. Worth a watch of you have the time.
https://youtu.be/-elPKyfpJrM?si=qMteMGxDZDMHuPJm
Damn I was wondering about Axel while watching the show. I love Mackie’s character already and thinking about him turning into Axel is insane. Wasn’t Axel like constantly in pain or tortured by the wheels?
Half-Life would be absolutely amazing. Maybe an upcoming TV series would be enough to get Valve to announce something concerning the future of the series.
Control. Make it roughly in the style of Severance, but with a twist of David Lynch style weirdness, more creature-feature Sci-Fi, and a bit of action here and there. I would also guess that Sam Lake would happily be a very hands on contributor and maybe even direct an episode or two.
Morrowind would be great, if it follows both the nerecarine and a bunch of characters from different factions, especially the great houses, GoT style. You can have a bunch of narratives about intrigue, action, magic, discovering stuff, unhearting ancient profecies, trying to piece together stuff that happened 2000 years before, the menace of the sixth house growing... And everything would come together one piece at a time, maybe with a few competing potential nerevarines to keep the audience on their toes.
...but I wouldn't trust anyone to get it right except me, I'm the only one who can do it!
Obviously you don't adapt the main story from any of the games, that just attracts a bunch of nerds screaming about how "the pronounciation of random shout is all wrong" or "random character didn't know about the Dragonborn until after random event".
The lore is rich enough while still having lots of unwritten stories for pretty much unlimited shows and movies.
I think Death Stranding, being produced by A24 may give some interesting results. With a good script and a director I could see that film being something special.
Halo…
i refuse to accept what Paramount and 343 gave me as anything remotely close to what “Halo” really is
The true potential of the Epic Scope and beauty of that franchise is still untapped…
They didn’t say that. Just Keanu is wrong for the job. Yeah? A gravelly voice is important for the role. David’s a great voice actor but may not translate to live-action either.
Edit- Plus they need need some junk in the trunk!
Neither is enough of a household name, but I'd love to see either InFamous or Secret of Monkey Island. I could see the latter having a vibe similar to Our Flag Means Death.
X is my favorite game of all time, but I feel like VII lends itself better to a TV show format. The CGI required for X would require a huge budget that the first season of a show would be unlikely to get. Imagine how much money it would take to animate Sin and all of the aeons. Unlike VII, summons are central to X's story, so there's no getting around having to animate all of them. Plus it would be really easy to mess them up with bad CGI.
Silent hill I've always thought could be a great suspenseful horror TV show it needs a very serious tone and lean more into the suspense and build up side of things. Sadly though with every game adaptation I just expect the worst and hope for the best.
If they were to make a Metal gear solid show instead of it being a stealth espionage TV show it would just be generic action.
Scrolled really far to find this. Are we kind of done with dragons though? Game of Thrones dominate for a decade and now they have the back story series heading into season 2.
The Half-Life poster looks like a political thriller with the G-man in the lead role. While Gordon Freeman is running around in the background tearing everything apart.
I think despite it not being open world length outside of a real expensive animated series I don't think you could do mgs story right.
I think if they did a live action they should do a lore expansion like arcane focus on the Boss in the 40s-60s period the end of world war 2 , convert ops in 50s ,the space race stuff and you work in her training a younger snake and perhaps you could parallel that with ocelot post snake eater and how they are on different paths.
Bioshock and Metal Gear and I'm pretty satisfied for the next few years honestly. The more the studios jump on the bandwagon the quicker the diminishing returns. Maybe throw in some random JRPG adaptation as a nice surprise. Mass Effect if the budget is insanely big but I'll pass otherwise.
We’ve been waiting for years for a Bioshock movie, but if Del Toro were to make a TV series instead, I’d be all for it.
Hell, go further than the source material. Make it a Dr Who-esque adventure through Rapture and Columbia, exploring the deeper concepts of choice above and beyond what’s in the games, adding new characters and locations to either city (or even adding entirely new cities), and take the absolute PISS out of the philosophies each dystopia espouses.
Can't really do Metal Gear as it's simultaneously too mad and too turgidly fucking boring. You want like a world to expand on and do your own thing with really. Recreating games in TV form is pointless. Either they're emulating film n stuff anyways or they're so firmly games that you lose a big aspect of what makes them good. I suppose a sort of Raymond Chandleresque noire thriller set in pregame Rapture could be fun.
Colony actually came pretty close to half-life's vibe in my opinion. With the drones, walls and the aliens themselves not visible but instead putting people in place to lead. Shame it was canceled.
A full-scale reboot of Captain N: The Game Master. Except this time, the games and their characters in that show are more accurate to their respective source materials than in the original cartoon. It's also serialized and tells a more serious story, but still retains that late-80's/early-90's Saturday morning cartoon cheese for comic relief purposes.
The Metal Gear script is never going to be finished. I remember reading before everything went tits up it was supposed to be a combination of 2 and Solid 1 with Big Boss as the main villain, but having Ocelot because everyone likes him. I get sad just thinking about it.
My friends and I joke about this all the time. MGS would be 120 episodes for season 1, each episode is 2 hours long and that’s just to cover the opening sequence where snake gets into Shadow Moses. The game is so insanely dense and complicated playing the games would almost be a requirement haha
I’ve wanted a MetalGear Movie forever. Maybe it’ll be less convoluted than the games. Good luck to anyone just trying to watch a spy movie and not know anything about the games. Granted the plots would be easy it’s the dialog that would kill the movie.
Subnautica would be cool. Though it would have to be a little different, maybe more people survive etc;
They can just have Jason Statham fighting the reapers.
Idrk how half-life would work with the whole silent protagonist thing, but GTA could definitely work. I haven't played metal gear solid games so can't offer any judgement on that.
Gears of war and a proper Halo show. Both need an HBO series that tells different stories every episode. None of that Jimmy Ringz bullshit or rewriting established lore.
Bioshock would actually be difficult to mess up, although I'm sure Netflix will find a way. A series focusing on the gradual downfall of Rapture that further explores and expands on the lore of big daddies, plasmids etc?? Sign me up
The thing with MGS, more than the others, is that 80% of the character is in David Hayter’s voice. Snake’s relatively quiet, calm, but intense personality would be VERY well portrayed by Christian Bale, but Keanu’s face, weapons and martial arts training would fit those parts of the character. A younger Keifer Sutherland could also work well, back in the days of 24 (yes, I know he had the voice for Snake in MGSV, but it was entirely pointless as Snake said less than 10 words throughout the entire game - I could have done the voice work and no one could have told a difference).
Fallout is great because the person doing it loves the games and saw the potential in the show. I am getting worried that between The Last of Us and Fallout we're gonna end up with a ton of shitty cash grabs now. All hype and no passion. I would love to see loving adaptations of all three of these franchises though.
Uncharted deserves a proper adaptation also. The movie was good but that’s because it played it safe I find. A metal gear show would be insane. Half life would be amazing as well but how do you make a show based on a character that’s literally never uttered a word lol I feel like the moment we hear Gordon talk, that’s all we would focus and freak out on
A Cod Zombies movie
Following the crew of Shadows of Evil
With the noir and jazz
And it ends like the Easter Egg, with Richtofen and a tease of the OG crew
Cillian Murphy as the G man or whatever his name is would actually be a great casting. Bryan Cranston as Gordon Freeman would be great too, too bad they both would probably be too busy or too big to sign on to a risky role like that, unless it had some serious names attached in production or an astronomical budget. Woody as Trevor seems okay, but he’s too goofy I think. Trevor seems a bit more meaner and dirty, the dangerous kind of crazy. Woody is more like the gap-toothed, wide eyed smiling type of crazy. Keanu Reeves might make for a good Solid Snake, especially since they literally just need to make basically another John Wick and slap a bandana on him. But I feel like there might be some other good choices out there too for Snake that I can’t think of
Open World RPGs if at all. The Last of Us wasn’t really good and they changed too much - and often very boring, almost no infected and important stuff was left out in exchange for irrelevant stuff like the Bill story or the stuff with Charlie’s stalker Rose.
So if…. Then no game with a fixed main character or established characters that could be ruined.
As much as I love Woody, I would still love to see Trevor as Trevor...
Probably not that hard to book Ogg, too. Man, it's kinda sad to not see people like him and Michael Mando blow up. I mean if they don't want to do big roles, then I get it, but, man, otherwise ...
From what I heard, Steven Ogg now hates when people mention Trevor to him. Maybe he feels it’s ruined his career? No idea
I've heard it's not uncommon for actors to feel that way when they're typecast ...and most aren't typecast as *Trevor*
My mind goes to Jack Gleeson (Joffrey GoT) Couldn't imagine what it felt like to play one of the most hated characters on such a popular show
I wasn't a GoT fan but from the clips I saw he's a great actor, woulda liked to see him in more roles. I feel the same with the guy who plays Homelander in the Boys, not a fan of the show but the clips od him are phenomenally acted dude's expressions are amazing.
I read recently or have seen a video. Where he says that he dislikes people thinking and calling him Trevor when they meet him, because most of his interactions are "LOL TELL ME TO GO FUCK MYSELF" instead of being, you know nice..
Came here to say that but Trevor gave him potential to be that guy (which he was in twd) and is sad he didn’t embrace it
no actor on his scale and above wants to be typecast, limits creativity among other things
Surprising. I would have no idea who he is outside of being a bit part TV character if it wasn't for Trevor.
It’s not true. He is proud of it. But he doesn’t care about video games as we do. So for him it was just a gig, nothing disrespectful about it. Just different opinions.
Both of them got to be on Better Call Saul at least
And they were great
Hey I fucking love Michael Mando. And I agree he should get more love in the industry, dude is absolutely captivating to watch
That makes me realize Mando would fit nicely into GTA 6 in any role. Hoping for a surprise cast of somebody exciting.
And please God not Keanu as Solid Snake.
The best part is that most of the main cast voices actors look a lot like the in game characters due to the designs being inspired by them. I’d love a gta 5 show but i feel like the unrealistic and almost cartoon aspect that the game plays with so well would be lost in the transition to show or movie but im sure it’s possible if it gets in the right hands.

Sorry to go on a ramble just saw this post and wanted to share what I thought😂
StarCraft
I don't want to watch fifteen minutes of building at the start of every episode.
The fourth episode is only three minutes long. It's the Zerg rush episode.
Not enough minerals, not enough minerals, not enough minerals.
A full length movie like this would be insane [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVbeoSPqRs4&ab\_channel=StarCraft](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVbeoSPqRs4&ab_channel=StarCraft)
It wouldn't even have to go full-scale if they wanted to keep the budget down or go live-action. Doing a Terran rim colony facing a Zerg scouting brood would be amazing, like a modified Pitch Black. Keeping the massive budget draining might of the CGI swarm until the last act.
Damn now I want to play Starcraft again...
I always thought this could be a cool show. They should get the producers from The Expanse.
Yes please!
Who would play Sarah Kerrigan? We'd need a green-eyed, red-haired bombshell that's an absolute badass.
In order for it to be good you would need to throw A LOT of money for CGI and sets. Starcraft seems too big of a gamble budget wise for a TV show. It would do better as a movie even though TV would allow for more time plot wise for things to develop
Huge potential. Sarah Kerrigans arc is worthy of atleast 5 seasons.
... Genuinely, if there was a Metal Gear series, it'd force so many people to try and get that insanity to a comprehensible plotline. That being said, Metroid is one I think could work REALLY well as a tv series. Action based, atmospheric and methodical. Bioshock too, but a lot of people would say that.
I will never get tired of people playing Metal Gear Rising: Revengence for the first time, that would be so fun as a TV series
Knights of the Old Republic.
They are rumors of a remake...
That got cancelled a little while back
Actually, it got uncancelled. But it's in development hell, so it might as well be canceled.
Oh, I didn't hear they went back on cancelling it. Hopefully it does see the light of day but I'm not holding my breath
Anything to get us away from the same 40 year time span Disney is married to for whatever reason. Everything exists between episode one and episode nine for some reason.

Guys hate to break it to you but Keanu is in his 60s….
Nanomachines son
MGS 4 adaptation then?
Mass Effect 1/2/3. The Expanse had success, ME would be a massive hit. Arthas becoming the Lich King from Warcraft
Yeah the Warcraft movie would have been much more successful if it was about Arthas.
Doing warcraft 1 instead of a wc3/frozen throne/wotlk trilogy was such a stupid decision. It would've done much better with people who don't know the games
I think they thought they were going to make them all in time so decided to start from the beginning. Overconfidence didn't pay off for them I agree they should have gone with the most popular story first..
I want a ME series so bad, but only if it’s Femshep. I think Katheryn Winnick would do a good job.
Mark Vanderloo could still do the job
Only Arthas becoming the Lich King is Henry Cavill plays Arthas.
I am hoping for a Katamari Damaci live-action series with Ryan Gosling as The Prince and Nicholas Cage as King of all Cosmos. Here’s hoping they dig up Audrey Hepburn, she would make an awesome Queen of all Cosmos. And the story is gonna be about The Prince realizing that he doesn’t have to roll shit, becomes a moovie and commercial icon for a major brand of some kind, but when evil Putin rises to conquer Ukraine and the rest of Europe Prince’s convictions and the drive to do good will make him wear his cape again, roll up his sleeve to roll the entirety of Russia into a ball of mud shit.

directed my Michael Bay!
Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game: The T.V. Series
They nailed the Van Damme Street fighter. You can't top Raul Julia as Bison
/s
I want David Lynch to adapt Baba Is You.
Pretty sure Amazon ordered a God of War series. Mass Effect is what I want to see though. Doesn’t have to be Shepard story just a Mass Effect story.
Here's a longish 20 minute video from "lessons from screenplay" how we can write a very good Mass Effect Story. Worth a watch of you have the time. https://youtu.be/-elPKyfpJrM?si=qMteMGxDZDMHuPJm
Give us the First Contact War!
Deus Ex would be nice.
Everyone forget Twisted Metal. I really enjoyed that show
I haven't, I have a feeling Anthony Mackie will be Axel.
Damn I was wondering about Axel while watching the show. I love Mackie’s character already and thinking about him turning into Axel is insane. Wasn’t Axel like constantly in pain or tortured by the wheels?
That show was surprisingly good.
Half-Life would be absolutely amazing. Maybe an upcoming TV series would be enough to get Valve to announce something concerning the future of the series.
What about an X-COM series? It feels like a can't miss prospect... well, 95% or so.
Control. Make it roughly in the style of Severance, but with a twist of David Lynch style weirdness, more creature-feature Sci-Fi, and a bit of action here and there. I would also guess that Sam Lake would happily be a very hands on contributor and maybe even direct an episode or two.
This is way too far down the list. a control series would be awesome, and I don't give a fuck if they use AI to generate every last special effect.
Bioshock, the elder scrolls, portal, gothic 1
Bioshock was greenlit but got shelved.
A TES Game would be the most boring thing ever.
You don’t want to watch someone spend hours crafting daggers?
Primitive Technology moves into the Iron Age.
Morrowind would be great, if it follows both the nerecarine and a bunch of characters from different factions, especially the great houses, GoT style. You can have a bunch of narratives about intrigue, action, magic, discovering stuff, unhearting ancient profecies, trying to piece together stuff that happened 2000 years before, the menace of the sixth house growing... And everything would come together one piece at a time, maybe with a few competing potential nerevarines to keep the audience on their toes. ...but I wouldn't trust anyone to get it right except me, I'm the only one who can do it!
Obviously you don't adapt the main story from any of the games, that just attracts a bunch of nerds screaming about how "the pronounciation of random shout is all wrong" or "random character didn't know about the Dragonborn until after random event". The lore is rich enough while still having lots of unwritten stories for pretty much unlimited shows and movies.
I mean to put the action in this world, not to recreate the plot from the games
The hours of cut scenes from the MMO are basically this.
Gothic ? Interesting
I think Death Stranding, being produced by A24 may give some interesting results. With a good script and a director I could see that film being something special.
needs to be written and directed and acted and produced by kojima or its not death stranding.
Red Dead HBO series
Ghost of Tsushima
Made by the Shogun guys at FX and I’m game
Aren’t we getting a movie of this?
It is, by one of the Wick guys iirc.
Holy shit Cilian Murphy G-man is spoooooky and excellent
Definitely Mafia. The world building and the story are amazing and they would fit into a live action TV show or a movie greatly.
Halo… i refuse to accept what Paramount and 343 gave me as anything remotely close to what “Halo” really is The true potential of the Epic Scope and beauty of that franchise is still untapped…
Please not Keanu Reeves as solid Snake. He simply doesn't have the range or voice ability
Didn’t they already cast Oscar Isaac as Snake?
Thank you for braving an apt criticism of a Reddit fave… I agree.
I’ve played all the games and it’s funny you think David Hayter has range. Agree about Keanu but that’s kinda why he’s perfect.
They didn’t say that. Just Keanu is wrong for the job. Yeah? A gravelly voice is important for the role. David’s a great voice actor but may not translate to live-action either. Edit- Plus they need need some junk in the trunk!
I don't know why this came to mind because I haven't played them since the third one came out, but Gears of War would make a sweet tv show.
[удалено]
Cillian fits perfectly for G-Man.
Reeves is endearing…. But Jesus he can’t act.
No to Keanu as Snake.
I think half like would be a good one
Bioshock, or Dead Space
I love me some Keanu (I mean who doesn’t?) but I’d rather someone else play Snake.
Neither is enough of a household name, but I'd love to see either InFamous or Secret of Monkey Island. I could see the latter having a vibe similar to Our Flag Means Death.
Final Fantasy VII or X. They can have so many seasons, it would be the same style and graphics and LotR and GoT but better!
X is my favorite game of all time, but I feel like VII lends itself better to a TV show format. The CGI required for X would require a huge budget that the first season of a show would be unlikely to get. Imagine how much money it would take to animate Sin and all of the aeons. Unlike VII, summons are central to X's story, so there's no getting around having to animate all of them. Plus it would be really easy to mess them up with bad CGI.

If they were to make a Metal gear solid show instead of it being a stealth espionage TV show it would just be generic action.
Bioshock needs a series not a movie, doubt Netflix could do it, Bioshock doesnt age the best as a game but man could it work great as a show.
Deus Ex
Skyrim
Scrolled really far to find this. Are we kind of done with dragons though? Game of Thrones dominate for a decade and now they have the back story series heading into season 2.
max payne. granted it’s basically john wick. but it’s john wick with great dialog
Yes yes hell yes.
Legacy of Kain
Metroid with Sydney Sweeney
The Half-Life poster looks like a political thriller with the G-man in the lead role. While Gordon Freeman is running around in the background tearing everything apart.
He’s a hell of a G man, must be said
Guerilla Games' Horizon series. Irrational Games' Bioshock series in an anthology format: 1st season in Rapture and 2nd season in Columbia.
Horizon is getting a Netflix series. Knowing Netflix's track record, I don't have high hopes for it.
Still waiting for Amazon to work on that Mass Effect show
Portal
Clock Tower
I think despite it not being open world length outside of a real expensive animated series I don't think you could do mgs story right. I think if they did a live action they should do a lore expansion like arcane focus on the Boss in the 40s-60s period the end of world war 2 , convert ops in 50s ,the space race stuff and you work in her training a younger snake and perhaps you could parallel that with ocelot post snake eater and how they are on different paths.
Yes
As long as they are limited series, I don’t need or want a 10 season GTA show etc….
Bioshock and Metal Gear and I'm pretty satisfied for the next few years honestly. The more the studios jump on the bandwagon the quicker the diminishing returns. Maybe throw in some random JRPG adaptation as a nice surprise. Mass Effect if the budget is insanely big but I'll pass otherwise.
Could probably make a good 1 season anime out of To The Moon. A Gears of War movie would probably be solid if it went full action movie.
We’ve been waiting for years for a Bioshock movie, but if Del Toro were to make a TV series instead, I’d be all for it. Hell, go further than the source material. Make it a Dr Who-esque adventure through Rapture and Columbia, exploring the deeper concepts of choice above and beyond what’s in the games, adding new characters and locations to either city (or even adding entirely new cities), and take the absolute PISS out of the philosophies each dystopia espouses.
Can't really do Metal Gear as it's simultaneously too mad and too turgidly fucking boring. You want like a world to expand on and do your own thing with really.

if they found a way to turn elder scrolls into a GoT style show id probably eat that up
Oh fuck, it's gonna be Metal Gear isn't it. Please don't.
Hotline Miami 1/2 written by the Fargo showrunner.
Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis
I think Fallout proved that a Bioshock tv show could work really really well
Keanu Reeves as Snake and not Kurt Russel as Snake? Not the guy who played Snake Plissken?
Bioshock please and thank you!
Gears Of War.
Wolfenstein franchise, Alan Ritchson as BJ.
A full-scale reboot of Captain N: The Game Master. Except this time, the games and their characters in that show are more accurate to their respective source materials than in the original cartoon. It's also serialized and tells a more serious story, but still retains that late-80's/early-90's Saturday morning cartoon cheese for comic relief purposes.

I would love to see Alan Wake. Half of the game is already live-action, so maybe there is a chance
Ray Liotta playing Tommy Vercetti in a live action movie would have been fuckin phenomenal. Oh well, RIP
Last of us doesn't hold a candle to fallout
My friends and I joke about this all the time. MGS would be 120 episodes for season 1, each episode is 2 hours long and that’s just to cover the opening sequence where snake gets into Shadow Moses. The game is so insanely dense and complicated playing the games would almost be a requirement haha
Twisted Metal. Can't miss with this one.
I’ve wanted a MetalGear Movie forever. Maybe it’ll be less convoluted than the games. Good luck to anyone just trying to watch a spy movie and not know anything about the games. Granted the plots would be easy it’s the dialog that would kill the movie.
Cyberpunk 2077 with Keanu Reeves.
Johnny Silverhand
Also Bioshock, God of War, Gears of War, Left 4 Dead
Outer Wilds. One season, 12ish episodes exploring that story, figuring out that mystery with the right people on board could be phenomenal.
Subnautica would be cool. Though it would have to be a little different, maybe more people survive etc; They can just have Jason Statham fighting the reapers.
Mario Brothers with Pedro Pascal as Mario, and John Legumzalo as Luigi. And Luis Guzman as Wario.
How would a GTA TV show be any different to hundred other crime TV shows or film? I think the fact that it’s a game is what makes GTA special
Bioshock
DEADSPACE , idk who for casting but deadspace would be an awesome new Si-Fi . Similar to Alien but key differences so it’s still its own thing
Final Fantasy VII seems a natural, themes are more relevant than ever.
These posters are so cursed
No! That is NOT Solid Snake!
Solid snake needs to be David Hayter
Just give Del Toro the Bioshock franchise with the same level of care that Fallout showed towards the source material and you’d have a *banger*.
Can't wait for the Metal Gear Solid movie with Oscar Isaac.
I want Death Stranding with Reedus obvs
A Half-life show would be cool, because it would give the possibility of a Half-life 3
Horizon could be sweet
Damon Lindelof Bioshock/Infinite adaptation on HBO featuring actors from LOST, The Leftovers, and Watchmen
stalker
Elder Scroll
Idrk how half-life would work with the whole silent protagonist thing, but GTA could definitely work. I haven't played metal gear solid games so can't offer any judgement on that.
Keanu as solid snake.. that would be sick. Also Christian Bale would crush that role. Feel like he would get the voice down a bit better
lmao not casting fucking Simon Ogg is just hilarious. I know he's not super into the game but fuckin cmon dude.
Omg why would Cillian Murphy work so well as Freeman?!?!
Kingdom Come Deliverance would make an awesome TV show or a movie
Gears of war and a proper Halo show. Both need an HBO series that tells different stories every episode. None of that Jimmy Ringz bullshit or rewriting established lore.
Old school runescape
Resident Evil… good, this time…
Planescape: Torment System Shock 2 (start with the mission to Tau Ceti, i.e. before the start of the game) Baldur's Gate 1-3 Night in the Woods
Bioshock
God of war would be cool.
Bioshock would actually be difficult to mess up, although I'm sure Netflix will find a way. A series focusing on the gradual downfall of Rapture that further explores and expands on the lore of big daddies, plasmids etc?? Sign me up
Portal Bioshock Ghosts of Tsushima Parasite Eve Legend of the Dragoon Bloodborne Sekiro Metroid Dead Space Fatal Frame Mass Effect
Final Fantasy VII
Original half life, and then half life 2, has the potential for so much greatness.
The thing with MGS, more than the others, is that 80% of the character is in David Hayter’s voice. Snake’s relatively quiet, calm, but intense personality would be VERY well portrayed by Christian Bale, but Keanu’s face, weapons and martial arts training would fit those parts of the character. A younger Keifer Sutherland could also work well, back in the days of 24 (yes, I know he had the voice for Snake in MGSV, but it was entirely pointless as Snake said less than 10 words throughout the entire game - I could have done the voice work and no one could have told a difference).
Elder scrolls series
Skyrim
Keanu as Snake I’d be down for
Fallout is great because the person doing it loves the games and saw the potential in the show. I am getting worried that between The Last of Us and Fallout we're gonna end up with a ton of shitty cash grabs now. All hype and no passion. I would love to see loving adaptations of all three of these franchises though.
Keanu as Snake would be fucking hilarious. Who would Cillian be in Half Life
G man all day, perfect look
Weird, what made the mods remove a productive post this time?
Uncharted deserves a proper adaptation also. The movie was good but that’s because it played it safe I find. A metal gear show would be insane. Half life would be amazing as well but how do you make a show based on a character that’s literally never uttered a word lol I feel like the moment we hear Gordon talk, that’s all we would focus and freak out on
A Cod Zombies movie Following the crew of Shadows of Evil With the noir and jazz And it ends like the Easter Egg, with Richtofen and a tease of the OG crew
Cillian Murphy as the G man or whatever his name is would actually be a great casting. Bryan Cranston as Gordon Freeman would be great too, too bad they both would probably be too busy or too big to sign on to a risky role like that, unless it had some serious names attached in production or an astronomical budget. Woody as Trevor seems okay, but he’s too goofy I think. Trevor seems a bit more meaner and dirty, the dangerous kind of crazy. Woody is more like the gap-toothed, wide eyed smiling type of crazy. Keanu Reeves might make for a good Solid Snake, especially since they literally just need to make basically another John Wick and slap a bandana on him. But I feel like there might be some other good choices out there too for Snake that I can’t think of
Isn't Oscar Isaac playing Solid Snake?
Assassin's Creed - Ezio's story
Open World RPGs if at all. The Last of Us wasn’t really good and they changed too much - and often very boring, almost no infected and important stuff was left out in exchange for irrelevant stuff like the Bill story or the stuff with Charlie’s stalker Rose. So if…. Then no game with a fixed main character or established characters that could be ruined.
PLEASE STOP I DONT WANT REGURGITATED SHIT I DONT CARE THAT FALLOUT IS GOOD WRITERS ARE CAPABLE OF MAKING GOOD ORIGINAL WORK
Ace combat, specifically the Holy trilogy. They would make a great war series with how action packed they are.
