Too far?

Am I the only one who thinks that making an official movie out of a video game is going a bit too far? I mean, it's a video game; can't it be left at that?

Please don't flame me for my opinion as it will get you nowhere; thank you. smile

Re: Too far?

If its a game, it should stick as a game. I seriously don't get it WHY Krome Studios are trying to drag HIM into the movies? I will start losing faith if he ever gets dragged into a movie-only thing.

Re: Too far?

Netenido made a fortune out of pokémon games and movies.
It might work with Spyro 2!

Re: Too far?

Pokemon was an anime at around the same time it became a game, so it makes sense to have Pokemon movies.... Spyro, though... I dunno, it's just different. First they change him into this nerdy little combat thing, then they make him into a movie? Just... no.

Re: Too far?

SHade likes to post.. that is all.

TLOS was Meant to be a movie from the start, most of people just like it for the plot.
i dont mind movies from video games, i think its cool, as long as it stays true.
Besides, they mainly do it for the cash.

Re: Too far?

I think it's fine. It would be even better if they actually stuck to the game for once.
I think it's really going to suck. Bad. I think they're going to do whatever they want with it and completely disregard the storyline entirely.

Re: Too far?

Don't get on my case for this, but I seriously think Spyro went downhill after Insomniac stopped making it and is not the kind of game that requires a movie.

EXAMPLES!

Games that don't need movies:
Spyro
Crash Bandicoot
Oddworld (mabye some animated shorts would be cool)
Pacman
Mario

Games that should be movies:
Gears of War
Halo
God of War
Bioshock
Prey
Assasin's Creed

Games that dont need ANOTHER movie:
Pokemon

*Zaps TB with a low voltage electricity stream*

Dude Mario went to the movies .. John Leguizamo and that other dude with Denis Hopper ..

I reckon Spyro should go to the movies, I mean to say that it'd be a bit more money for them to make and it'd be good for the kids that play the game, as well as the older generation that have played it to see him and the rest of his mates on the big screen.

Re: Too far?

All of the games you listed that you thought were apt for movies are all shooting/fighting/warfare games. My opinion: ugh.

Re: Too far?

Just because it's meant for everyone doesn't mean everyone's going to go see it. Heh, I'm making sure that when I go see this in the movies, I'm not going alone.
The storyline of TLoS was great. If the movie follows that, I think it should be alright. Even with that storyline, the other factors still mess with me ... One being how gross he looks ...
