Wait wait wait! Before I get started and you all say that movie games and tv games (especially) always suck just hear me out. Remember when those games were announced? You had a lot more faith in them then didn't you? Sure you did. And so did I. Well, I was just thinking about some movies and shows (one really) that have the possibility of an actual good game being based on them. And sure, most of these will never happen.

But who cares?
Also, I'm trying not to just think of RPGs, but they seem to come to mind way too fucking much, am I right?

V for Vendetta



The Movie's Plot: The futuristic tale unfolds in a Great Britain that's a fascist state. A freedom fighter known as V (Weaving) uses terrorist tactics to fight the oppressive society. He rescues a young woman (Portman) from the secret police, and she becomes his unlikely ally.

What the Game Could Be: What I'm imagining, as many of you probably have, is a half-linear half-nonlinear third person action exploration game. HLHNLTPAEG for short. Maybe a climbing system along the lines of Assassins Creed. Something along the lines of how the Warriors was. Free roaming area with side missions but linear areas for the game missions. Playing as V, you could have both missions from the storyline (TV Studio Assault, etc.). The weapons would be pretty interesting, as would be the possible character development. There is a good area left open for cutscenes, which could probably end up pretty good.

Chances of it Actually Happening: Seeing as how the movie really wraps up the story, and how the movie came out over two years ago, my probability of this game happening is around 25 to 30%. Theres always the chance of prequels or sequels made just for another movie.

OZ (HBO)



The Show's Plot: This violent, sexual, extremely graphic prison drama revolves around the many inmates of Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary, or Oz. There are tons of characters, from the inmates to the guards, back stories, rivalrys, gangs, and interesting dialogue.

What the Game Could Be: I've always sort of named this game "The Impossible Great Game". Impossible meaning, the show is rated TV-MA, and it deserves it more than any other HBO show in my opinion. Well, except for the adult shit. The ESRB, Jack Thompson, and the press would have a field day. Rape scenes, shankings, Aryans, as well as the largest assortment of naked prisoners in "Don't Drop that Soap!" situations. This game would BE Adults Only. Theres no chance of even a Mature. PC title if it could ever come about. "The Impossible Great Game". Great meaning, theres a big time RPG factor. I always considered an RPG with Oblivion like character customization, in addition to a Mass Effect dialogue system. You could come into Oz with a preset crime and sentence, explore the prison, meet the cons, meet the guards, and get into all sorts of happenings. From shanking people to joining a gang, from getting transferred to getting killed, this game would be the ultimate confined open world. How to finish it: Die or get released. Thats it.

Chances of it Actually Happening: Slim to motherfucking none. The shows been over for over three years, the game would be the most graphic game of all time (the rapes would be cut definitely), and it would be in development hell for years most likely. But, we Oz fans can always hope.

The Boondock Saints



The Movie's Plot: Twin brothers Conner and Murphy, feeling that their God-given mission is to cleanse the Earth of all human evil, set out to rid Boston of crime. But instead of joining the police force, these Irish Americans decide to kick criminal butt their own way -- à la Charles Bronson. Willem Dafoe is the openly gay FBI special agent assigned to investigate.

What the Game Could Be: There are a certain amount of possibilites for this game. Of course, I'm imagining something along the lines of a third person shooter with a co-op system. You could play as both Connor and Murphy, and fight through some of the movie's action sequences. There would have to be tons of new material, as the film is not just an action fest. All the weapons, characters, and overall quality of the movie could lead to some interesting levels.

Chances of it Actually Happening: For this, I'd say about 45 to 50%. Sure it came out in what, '99? But theres been wishes from the creator to make a sequel, and if that never pans out theres always the chance for a good game. Just don't Kane and Lynch it.

So, that does it.What do you think about my choices in both movie and in gameplay?
