Fledgling Fyora telonis Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Does anyone think that a move based in the Geneforge series would be nice to see? Either based on parts of the game's story or like an independent story based in it's universe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I believe a TV series would be better but movies could work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Lindwyrm Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I haven‘t played Geneforge yet, but since movie adaptions of books and games generelly fails terribly (especially in recent times), I think it would be the best not to devaluate the series name by this.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Thaluikhain Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Yeah, hard pressed to think of many...or even any, really, good movie adaptations of games. I sorta liked Doom, but that had nothing to do with the games, and the first Tomb Raider and early Resident Evil films, but not played those games. I'd not say books adaptations generally fail terribly, though. Sure, they often do, but then they often don't, the Harry Potter and LotR/Hobbit films did pretty well.

Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 The trick to adaptions is having the right balance of respecting the source while making a tv show/movie that is interesting to more than just the fans of the books/games. Having a very large budget helps. LOTR did a pretty goo job of balancing where to follow the books and where to diverge (so I was annoyed with the divergence, but not enough to hate it) while making the story accessible to the non-fans and of course it had a large budget. The animated version of LOTR from the 70s didn't do so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Bender89 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I hated the resident evil movies, and to a even more extent the silent hill movies(although my mother liked it) just because it didn't seem as scary as the games, or as intelligent or atmospheric. I mean, No raccoon city? silent hill is just Centralia Virginia(that movie should have just been a stand alone movie without using the silent hill games at all.) with an interesting and creepy story. I have not seen the Max Payne movie but my brother said the first game was WAY better. Way to [censored] up a noir classic like Max Payne. But then again, most video game's would translate into a very long movie or series, and that's a lot of money to invest. Way more than some of these games cost to make, or grossed by a lot.

Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Hmmm... Perhaps independent stories in the universe, with small tie-ins from the big names would be better. As for "movies ruin games\books": I don't agree. More often than not they do a good job. But as for geneforge? I don't see any big budget movie \ series happening and if we get those amateurish productions with Shaper Robes looking like bathrobes-with-a-die-over, over-the-top acting and cartoonish creations, I would be very sad. Would still watch it. But I would be sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Blakland Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Live Action Adaptions tend to be very hit and miss. Few examples include the Death Note movie from Netflix and The Last Airbender, thank god there was no sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
