I would like to make Half Life the movie, with... I used to think that Nicholas Cage would be perfect, but he's getting a tad old. Maybe Thomas Jane star of The Punisher could pull it off.

I would also like to make a series of EQ Movies, CGI in the same vein as the FF series quality wise, I think there is a market for such, but it would be hard to pull off I think without the idea being corrupted by hollywood...

What about ya'll?

Oh yeah, Max Payne, perfect movie material, Thomas Jane again for the role.

I want to see a movie based on a kind of Halo situation, on big starships ect. fighting against aliens, huge intra-galaxtic war for survival of teh human race, ofcourse were up against big odds. I'm talking huge movie here, like LOTR kind of majesty and deepness
w/ no magic but technology in the future.

If a Half-Life movie were made, they'd have to make it so that Gordon NEVER spoke.

I think Michael is a fantastic actor and whathaveyou, but definitely NOT in that role.

hence the fact that i FIRST stated Ving Rhames.. i have others in mind as well. The only reason MCD came to mind is cuz he's a big black guy. Ving Rhames would be better.

PlanetSide, Nick Cage as the Harasser Driver.

and Colin Farrell as the Wildman Reaver Pilot. Orlando Bloom would be the Noob Phoenix whore*I MEAN TROOPER* (hehe, says the NC boy himself) and James Woods would be the TR Prowler Commander. Hmmm.. any other suggestions?
TR CR5 MCG master: Arnold Schwarzeneggar(sp?)
hmmm..
Hard core BFR pilot, Samuel L. Jackson. yes. the list must go on.

There was this great game, it was an old school arcade with vector graphics. It was called Star Wars
I'd get Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Alec Guinness and Carrie Fisher

If FF7 was a movie, it'd have to be a 40 hour epic, or I'd be pissed.

Anyway, I'd have to go with MGS.

No idea who would star in it.

I suggest Steve Buscemi as the frozen skier, Van Damme as the snowboarder, and Bruce Willis as the yeti.

And as a change of cast, I suggest Jason Schwartzman as the skier.

I say Robin Williams would be a better yeti. He's got the hair for it.

Hitman, leading role goes to Jason Statham


That or Planetside, could make it like Starship Troopers but PS style. Or just make it an insane comedy, only people good enough to make it a true Planetside comedy are Mat Parker and Trey Stone

liek holy shits dude. I forgot that. A Zelda movie would be awesome (and no animated bullshits either). MM is too confusing though and wouldn't make a good movie =p

Besides EarthBound and Zelda, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Computer animated like Shrek (but not stupid like Shrek). Make Mario never talk like usual.

Its funny because a few class mates and I had a discussion about this about 3 months ago. We decided the best games that could become movies would be the Metal Gear Series. All of the games get their own movie. I mean, the story line is god damn good already! It wouldnt need much tweaking.

Well obviously movies have been made about WWII, so a vote for CoD is kinda pointless.

I think a large budget company could have fun with F-Zero. It would take hella special effects. Steven Segal as Captain Falcon!

I'd of course like to see a PS movie, don't know about actors on that since there would have to be a ton.

Max Payne has movie written all over it. In fact I thought I heard somewhere a long time ago that it was gonna be made into one...

Lemonade Tycoon.

Robert DeNero and Joe Pesci would be the owner/operators.

StarCraft is easy.

Jim Raynor - Vince Vaughn
Kerrigan - Jenna Jameson
Edmund Duke - Will Farrell
Arcturus Mengsk - Ben Stiller
Gui Montag - Luke Wilson
Random Rookie Marine - Sean William Scott
Fenix - Voice of Dr. Dre
Tassadar - Voice of Snoop Dogg
Zeratul - Voice of Jay-Z
Aldaris - Voice of Clint Eastwood

and there it is.

True its too confusing but it could be simpler.
1 beginning, let Link run through the 3 days in the first place to get the Ocarana,
2 go back to day 1,
3 go through each temple, get each temples masks and weapons within the 3 days
4 between those temples you go to the engaged couple for their tasks.
5 in the end you help Kafie (or however u spell it) get the last mask, then you run back to his fiansie (omg sp), get that mask
6 go back to Skull Kid, into the moon
7 give each kid back their transforming mask and the other one the mask you got from the couple
8 go to majora and get the super mask thing
9 fight.

its so easy, however you do leave out like 26 other masks....



Another good movie would be tribes2, starwolf vs bioderms (Vin Diesel)
And "Orgins of Auraxis-the planetside movie". oh yea, i'm just cooking up movie titles here.
