They made ID4 as a game for the Pc and PSX. Unfortunatly it stunk.

Right on Lost In Sapce would make a good game. Despite the name Starship Troopers would make a great shooter/adventure type game.

Here's another one that could work as a action/adventure: Escape from New York. Think Parasite Eve/Onimusha/Resident Evil gameplay, where there's definitely a linear story and a goal and an outcome. Fly the glider, hook up the elevator, find your way around the city, etc. That could work.

Yeah, the Road Warrior trilogy definitely lends itself to a game--driving, shooting, fighting...mmm, 3D Thunderdome... :)

Madd, nobody mentioned The Matrix because it's already in development from Interplay and Shiny. :) I was thinking of movies that haven't already been tagged for conversion.

Hawks, there are Ghostbusters games for NES, C-64, Sega Genesis...and none of them are what I'm talking about. I'm thinking 3D action/adventure, not side-scroller (Genesis) or a mix of top-down driving and simplistic 2D action (all the others). I think it's time to bring the franchise into the modern realm with a modern engine and modern gameplay.

I posed this question in the back of an issue sometime last year, I think. With E3 rolling around, I always hope that I'll see some of my wishlist come to pass. Here's a few films I'd like to see made into games...

HIGHLANDER. 3D weapon-based fighting, a la Soul Calibur...why on earth not? The whole plot is about deadly fights. It fits perfectly.

GHOSTBUSTERS. Not the Extreme GB (which is headed for GameCube) but a 3rd person, over-the-shoulder type game (think Tomb Raiderish), or a squad-based shooter (think SWAT 3) with proton packs. Based on the first film, of course. I honestly feel this has good gameplay potential, if you treat it like a hunt-and-trap action/adventure.

ROLLERBALL. This was in development but it fell out (chalk another one up for Vapor Trails). There's a remake of the film coming out this summer, and for those who aren't familiar, it's a lethal cross between football, roller derby, and motocross...the carnage possibilities are intriguing! Besides, outside of Mutant League, has anybody really done violent fantasy sports correctly?

Chime in with your ideas, but consider this: A good movie does not make a good game unless the movie's situations suggest GAMEPLAY. "I liked it, it was a cool movie" is not a good reason for a film to be turned into a game--but if the story or scenes lend themselves to an interactive situation (i.e. Aliens is a great setup for a first-person shooter), then you might be on to something...

What would make Crouching Tiger a good video game? What kind of game would it be?

What would make Naked Gun a good game? Comedies don't usually work as games. See Porky's for 2600...

I meant to say as better as the movie.

Just give me a 47" HDTV, all 3 systems and a year supply of pizza and beer I'll be the happiest person on earth.
