Most games have a good enough story to be a movie, but there doesn't seem to be anybody who can make a really good video game movie. so i rather have brink in all its glory without have to say "I love the game brink, but the movie svcked.

I know, I'm just saying. Resistance Vs Security. Would be freaking epic for a full out CGI movie.

If that guy making that Uncharted movie does a good job, he'll be the man for a Brink movie.

Movies for videogames flop 90% of the time... 10% of the time they get cancelled. :tongue:

The only problem would be the fact that the three "Alternate Endings" change the entire story, not just a little. And it would be confusing with no good or bad guys.

Not 1 videogame can become a good movie, you know why ? Because they sell their movie rights to people who like to screw up a storyline.

Even the very best videogame narratives (Bioshock, Mass Effect) can't translate to the big screen for one fundamental reason: 90% of the content involved in a game is gameplay. Sure, game movies get saddled with horrid directors and poor production funds from the outset, but that core difference between the mediums just can't be captured on film. Think of your favorite videogame story, then remove all elements of player interaction. It's almost certain you now have a couple of cutscenes and some contextual dialogue to go on (Apart from the rare cases like Heavy Rain, but even there most of the game consists of little side missions like making cereal). That's really not a solid base to go on for a motion picture, and believe me I think that svcks just as much as any gamer. The only way game movies can elevate themselves to at least "not svcking" level like the recent Prince of Persia film is by crowding the plot with random filler characters and story arcs never found in the game. Games based on movies tend to svck, and vice versa. Those two mediums just dont get along well.
