Oh good. A live action video game movie.
Because those always go over so well! Look at Super Mario Bro...
No...
All right, how about Tomb Raide....r....no that was a flop too.

...

...

...I remember the Prince of Persia movie not being that bad.
...Oh. It was? Well okay then.

Resident Evil films have been okay to good all things considered.

Sure they have.

One of them almost reached 35%.

....
I remember them being better than that.
Also I thought there were only 3 of them.

****ing Christ don't let Sony get involved

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I had a woman today come in about a money order to the IRS and she kept asking questions, and I kept replying "You'll have to contact the IRS to find out" not getting that I don't work at the IRS and I have no idea what their policies are.

What she wanted to know is if they accept partial payments because she owned more than $2000 but didn't have it.

After she wasted my time trying to contact the IRS in front of me and junk, I eventually just gave her a money order regardless if they accept partial payments or not

You say that, but this does make the whole inanity behind creating an Emoji film a lot more understandable.

Understandable because they have no idea how to market towards millenials? Yes.

This is so cringeworthy it hurts.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Some SJW psychopath is trying to create a website that tracks the social media sites of people and create a database of EVERYTHING they post that's offensive. (As determined by her and a group of selected individuals)

It's basically a Doxing site. And she's not against using that power on children.It's a database to prevent certain people from getting jobs and to publically shame people, in other words.

Zoe Quinn and a couple of other people were against the idea, so you KNOW it's bad.

Well, the kickstarter for the project got shut down, but it looks like this was their plan

They are blaming the entire thing on #GamerGate and somehow receiving alternate funding. They PLANNED for it to fail

It's an evil project and SHOULD fail

 

[Aetheri]

When it comes to video game films...the Tomb Raiders were...ok...
I liked the first Resident Evil because it was basically unrelated to the games with a few elements from the games and ended up being a decent Zombie flick, but then they started forcing video game fan-service in the subsequent films and made Alice unnecessarily OP...

other ones either sucked or I haven't bothered watching them...However Warcraft looks like it'll be half-decent...

As for a possible live action Pokemon film...all I can say is tread carefully...Legendary is a decent studio though, and Warner Bros. of course being one of the biggest film studios out there...Sony?...er...best not...

It just goes to show just how scary being on the Internet has become.
No one is safe anymore. At this point just saying a few wrong words or having an opinion someone else doesn't like is now a justifiable reason for sending out personal information to God knows whoever.

You'd think it's morally wrong or absurd, but it's just become another thing we have to accept happens. And that's a shame really.

 

[Z25]

I just realized how ironic this is now:

I'd still watch it though.

Well, if it happens, they better bring Michael Bay in as the director to help make this film a success.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Played a few more rounds of Lost Reavers.

Completely upgraded the accuracy on the AR skill tree, along with one upgrade to power, ammo and reload speed, two levels of ammo upgraded on the SMG, two for handgun accuracy and one for additional health.

Can't wait for the Electrode scene.

So I started researching who's in charge of what at Nintendo, and apparently aside from being a ludicrously murky mess, Kimishima apparently did this last year:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_Planning_&_Development

Basically the two largest development houses fused, and between them they had their hands in nearly every pie at Nintendo.

I wish I knew what exactly this meant for Nintendo.

*EDIT* Apparently the restructuring also made the hardware and OS/wireless communication/online development houses do their own fusion dance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Platform_Technology_Development

Wonder what's going on in there. . .

If you thought the Japanese Fatal Frame movie was terrible, then prepare for Hollywood to crush your love of that franchise even more AwesomeAussie27

The best part? The guy behind the Resident Evil films will be directing it. Ouch.

Sigh, I'd rather be flaked out instead of being reminded of that travesty AND Hollywood's evil plan to ruin Fatal Frame for the West.

Seems like every video game is aiming to get a movie now.

Ratchet & Clank
Sly Cooper
Warcraft
Sonic The Hedgehog
Now Pokemon?
What next? Need for Speed?

Oh no! It already happened!

I can only hope Video game movies end up like Comic book movies where they started off ****, and then just blew up with quality.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm not really excited for ANY of these video game movies, except maybe the pokemon

Although I would check out the Sonic movie

and if the Warcraft movie is any good, I might check it out

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

TFW everyone forgets about the Ace Attorney live action movie ;_;

Considering the Ratchet and Clank Game based on the Movie based on the Game has good reviews I can only imagine the actual movie itself is also good, or at least decent. Live Action I'm sorta interested in, but I'm afraid we may get Sonic 06 Eggman, unless they animate him too.

I'd probably be more excited for Ratchet and Clank if I ever played any of the games

 

[Mythra]

The idea of a Live Action Pokémon Movie scares me; any movie based on anime/video games is doomed from the start.

Sure they have.

One of them almost reached 35%.

Those films are like a guilty pleasure tbh, but only the first 3 are tolerable imo.

I'm pretty sure video games can work live action, albeit, it depends on what video game it is. I think a Mario movie will be a lot harder to pull off than say, Halo or Uncharted

 

[Coricus]

OK.

Both Retro and Monolith Soft have completely undocumented games that they are simply "making."

Retro in particular has been at it since Tropical Freeze wrapped up, so it's possible whatever they have could be a launch title.

Monolith Soft merely said that they're "always" making games, and since they wrapped up XCX last year it's less likely to see something from them. . .Unless they're pitching in on Zelda NX, as they did help with Skyward Sword. Apparently.

. . .Wikipedia is really terrible about cross-referencing.

Imagine seeing this in 3D when the film comes out.

Instant Nightmare Fuel folks.

 

[powerprotoman]

on the subject of pokemon live action....meh i dont really see a problem on a conceptual level

If he's a live action man with make up, I'm cool with it.

But if he's Uncanny Valley CGI, kill that **** with fire!

Dammit all.

Some guy who saw a fan screening of Captain America Civil War spoiled something. I mean, really? They thought what they said was innocuous but then bam. Spoiler.


Some people...ah well, still hyped as hell for it.

The person got it from the fan screening discussion on r/marvelstudios. I could PM the spoiler if you want.

PM please

I have a phrase: "If you know the spoilers of a movie/game and you still feel excited/shocked when seeing it, that means the movie/game is good."

So, modders finally made Ridley playable in Smash 4.

Well... sorta.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I am never going to question why he's not playable again

He looks like a Charizard clone.

 

[Kurri ★]

He looks like a Charizard clone.

That's because Charizard is actually Ridley in disguse. Like how Lucina disguised herself as Marth. Basically, Ridley has tippers
