Thanks to the Steam Summer Sale I've been able to catch up on a few titles I thought I'd missed out on recently for whatever reason. Playing Tomb Raider got me thinking, I would actually really enjoy watching this as a movie - it has a good balance of emotion and action, drama and discovery - and the pacing and scope for expansion would come together pretty well in a feature length film. As someone who is already interested in Japan and its myths and history, I'm really enjoying experiencing this story unfold.

What games would you enjoy sitting down to watch? To clarify, I mean based specifically on that game's plot and characters (I know there's already Tomb Raider films).

I would have said Hitman, but they ballsed that up good. The trick to making an amazing Hitman film is first playing the game and then simply recreating the game on film.

Corvo is a silent protagonist for a reason. Giving him a voice would ruin the film AND the game.

"Silent" but he does have arbitrary dialogue choices. The only reason he is considered a silent protagonist is because the terrible writers over at Arkane said so.

Without you pointing that out, I'd have called it "Dishonoured" too because that's how we spell "honour" in the UK.

Deux EX: Human Revolution could be doable. Fallout as mentioned above definitely. Still need Perlman to Voice-over the intro though if that ever happens. The Assassin's Creed franchise actually has some movie worthy content as well.

Honestly I wouldn't know the difference just yet. My wife plays the games and I have watched a decent chunk of them. Have yet to play a campaign on any of them. And I have them all (360 versions). I like the multiplayer with friends though.

No, none, never... This style of thinking has lead the mainstream games to what they are today - an orchestrated "press forward and only watch" experience. This is evil...

Games and movies do not mix. Book don't mix with this either. It's a completly different medium requiring a totaly different mindset during creation. There are some great articles about this on Frictional Games blog, I highly recommend reading them to anyone.

When you mix games with books the result can be good a lot of times (Visual Novels, namely Key visual arts VNs for example).

Actually, you can tell a good story (by means of a book, or a movie) in a coherent and well-thought game universe. They are not mutually exclusive.

You just can't gimmick a game experience in a movie, it won't work, movies are there to show a story, games are about making a story by your own decisions and actions. It's just hard to make a movie about a game that doesn't really have its own universe so you actually don't have anything to tell that isn't about the game experience.

You can tell a story about some stranded UED starship on a Zerg-infested planet, with new characters, and it can still be Starcraft, but can you make a Tomb Raider movie that doesn't involve Lara? It wouldn't make sense...
