Too Long; Didn't Read

Slack discussion by Jack Boreham, Carlo Occhiena, Nicolas Ng, Richard-kubina and Limarc Ambalina. Discussion occurred in slogging's official #gaming channel and has been edited for readability. We discuss what video games we would want to be turned into a movie! Seeing Doom 2016 in the style of John Wick would be a treat. We would love a Pokemon Red movie, perhaps mixing between real-world filming and 2D pixelated art style for battles.

Quest for Glory series in the VGA graphics.. good scenes, story, characters, humor. A full length 90s era pixel art movie would be wild.. maybe AI could help go from 3d scenes back to that, and human folk could touch it up 💭

I think I better check out this TLOU stuff.. keep hearing about it...

It makes me wonder if a movie would be even better! Like I love the red dead redemption series.. but would I want to see the movie? I think I'd rather play it!

Oh, Richard, you MUST play The Last of Us. Please. But I also don't want to overhype it for you, so I won't say more.

My answer to this would be Final Fantasy Tactics...one of my favorite Final Fantasy games. I feel like they could make a great Game of Thrones esque TV or film adaptation of it. I'd also say Final Fantasy 8, but I think the story is too complicated for a film.

I'm going to have to admit I have never played the Last of Us either haha. These are great picks. I would love a Pokemon Red movie, perhaps mixing between real-world filming and 2D pixelated art style for battles. This story has had so many adaptations with the games and Ash in the anime. Let's have a true story based on trainer Red.

I agree, Jack! I really loved Detective Pikachu, and believe they can make more films with the CGI style. Have you ever seen the Youtube fan film of the dark world of Pokemon?

Wow, I just watched it. I want something exactly like this. Let's make it happen, Nintendo!
