Games soon made into movies

KvP:
It was going to get made, but the financiers didn't have confidence in Neil Blokamp, who had only made commercials (including some impressive Halo commercials) at that point.

I call dibs on making this.

Halo was in development a while back. Apparently there was a lack of finances or something and they made District 9 instead.

Wow. Thank god for that. I mean, a Halo movie could be pretty good, if they pull it off, but I loved District 9. Does anyone know if it's getting a sequel? The cliffhanger ending sort of demanded one.

Nah they couldn't follow that up

Kugai:
Much as I am a fan of the game, you'd know they were beginning to run out of ideas if they made a Runescape movie.

So many allusions and similarities to Halo in that film, it was almost like watching a movie that was half Halo, half Earth.

I think all the promotional Halo 3/ODST stuff was really well done and you can see how it would translate to a movie, but the general consensus is that games make terrible movies because you can't please all the fans but for some reason they are always worse than expected. I mean at least in Tomb Raider there was a lot of side boob, latex boob, bouncing boob, to focus on when you felt the story slowed down.

It'll be interesting  to see what games get turned into movies once obscure and famous comic book characters have been worked and reworked to death. Probably something like OutRun or Golden Axe. Sega will rise only to fall again.
