Of all the video games that have been turned in to movies Resident Evil movies have been the best imo. As for video games that I think would make good movies diablo could be great as long as the movie studio didn't screw it up.
Really? I've heard shit about Resident Evil movies a lot.
They are shit, dude. They were just mind-numbingly stupid. And the zombies in it looked nothing like they did in the video game. Which was important to me because the look of the zombies in RE games always looked so great. Especially when they had the cataract eyes with the red soreness around them.
But in the movie they were just wet looking people. And they hissed!? Seriously, they hissed instead of the classic sounding moan of a zombie. And all the action in it was just really boring and I couldn't give a shit about any of the characters cause they were all totally unlikeable.
RE games are great. They're creepy, they're claustrophobic, they're mysterious even. But the RE movies are sheer rubbish in my opinion.
The movies just don't meet the expectations of the gamers.

I have enjoyed the resident evil movies. But I like many movies that people don't seem to think were good. This is because I look at the movie as an entirely different entity than the game. That meaning that I don't mind if the movie doesn't directly follow the game.

If a moderator asks you to change your signature, don't question just do it.
Maybe it's because I've never played a Resident Evil game that I have a higher regard for them, opposed to video games I've played that were turned into movies.
Plus if any of you heard the game "Alice" Were alice is and adult and goes back to wonderland and its all scary and nightmarish...Well thats a movie coming out in 08.
The extinction? It was good. Not how much i expected but good. We can't just say it sucked.

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.

But if you have ever played half life 1. You will know that the marines talk so much. We can have all the fun from their talks. And the scientists talk too. And the kind of things freeman does with his alive weapons.

Making FPS games into movies doesn't really work (A.k.a Doom) The only games that could turn into a good movie are actions or possible even RPGs.
I haven't seen Hitman because I haven't had the chance yet but I hear its good. My only quarrel with it so far is the fact that the main character looks like a pussy compared to the fella in the Game who could make a Nazi shit themselves with a glance.
If they are indeed making a DMC movie and even a GTA one (I have read stuff in Playstation mags) I just hope they capture the "coolness" that we get from main chars like Dante in the game. And that they don't screw around with monsters and stuff like they did with DOOM.
Because the imps in that movie were the perfect example of 'Shite'.
No fireballs, nothin, nada, zilch.
Oh and FYI. Despite my thoughts on FPS movies, i reckon that A HL movie would be awesome. They could even cast Hugh Lawrey as Freeman if he was to bulk up a bit.

The problem with making movies based on the main characters of games is that they've fictional and are a cut-and-paste mishmash of different people. Someone did the animation or action sequences, another served as the base for the appearance, and someone made the voice. Such a person doesn't exist in real life for the most part, so what does a movie company do? Dante is bound to fail no matter what they do I fear because of this, how could they get both appearance and voice correct?
I think there are plans to make an MGS movie, and David Hayter wanted to do the voice of Solid Snake but was turned down; probably because it doesn't really work very well with putting his voice over someone else's lip movements very well. If it is true, then I am worried of the result, and it's the same problem again.
That's why I am more optimistic about the WoW movie, which will follow an entirely new hero. This way there are no expectations that cannot be met in regards to the main character.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

Is that really needed?

There's no problem with movies into games or games into movies. But, as others say (personally I do not know), they just tend to suck.
