As a 50's trash movie fan, I have to say Space Invaders would make a great sci-fi/action/thriller. Only, of course, the whole movie would be a distant view of the "Defence" in it's valiant battle for freedom. 2 hours of heart-stopping exitement... or something.

I think that a very good movie could be made out of Flashback: Quest for Identity.
The game is very cinematic by itself, and it would require only minimal work to make into a movie scenario.

Yeah, cyberpunk!

I'm still waiting for the Command & Conquer - Red Alert movie!

And I would make a octology of Fallout movies, of course.

Noone saying Diablo? WoW? CS? X-Com? GTA?

I'd personaly prefere the Halo movie.. the Halo-story will make a resonably good script.

ermm... diablo/wow would probably be made into bog standard medievil-type good vs evil storyline. CS/X-Com would probably be made into a tom clancy-type tactical thriller involving nuclear weapons but GTA might just work (if there wasn't already THE GODFATHER etc. for example) so they have either been already made in some way or another or they would use the crap standard template for a genre movie.
but GTA might just work if done the right way.

and burger, i think the KOTOR storylines should stay in the KOTOR games (i mean look at ep 1, 2 and 3 if you want an example of why)

and about the halo movie, apparently peter jackson is already doing a royal screwjob of it so i wouldn't get my hopes up.

almost all game-movie conversions have been crap so i don't have hope if seeing any decent ones.
but one thing about the postal movie - oh sh**. i don't see how there's a coherent storyline to taken from it because sure, it's fun using cats as shotgun silencers but how would that translate into a movie?? add that to the fact it's an uwe boll job and you'll get a truly sh**y film.

All those movies would suck. You'd know the whole plot before seeing the first 5 seconds of the movie.

I didn't say you had to make a movie that is the exact story-line, but more using the ideas, the evoirment and general layout of the story. eg. Xcom; A movie about when the first UFO's was sightet, how they abducted the lead-char.'s sister (probably some random farmer), and how his jurney on rescuing her starts, and in the end how the human race finaly succedes to down a single small UFO and what do you know, his sister was on board, but died.
Movie 2 is when he developed xenofobia and starts huntin alies with the humans newly developed fighters based on the alien tech... and so on... How the story slowly developes.. The alies might be after a sertain thing on the planet, rather then taking the planet.. perhaps a big mothership hidden behind Jupiter, sending battle.ships from its docks... (ripping ideas from StarGate layout).. you get the picture. (Would love the proxy-nades.. perfect for good movie-gore-killing)

An X-Com movie might not work out to well, but the one of the few problems with the X-Com TV series was that it came out nearly twenty years before the game. It also had the wrong name, just UFO. It was produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (the couple that brought the world Supermarionation). The general plot was that aliens were coming to earth and stealing people for organ transplants (they were only alien in outlook and motivation). A secretive organization (SHADO) attempted to interfere with the alien machinations by intercepting UFO's, and investigating the wreckage. It even had something that could be construed as a TFTD tie-in, as there were interceptors that launched from submerged subs.

The series was enough of a success to have a line of now-very-collectable toys that were even cooler than the Captain Scarlet stuff

It would be cool to see a movie based on the events in both Star Wars Knights of the Old Republics since the movies 1-6 are finished. This can't be the end of star wars movies, can it?

Otherwise...Arcanum. I'd love to see the steampunk type machines translated into a movie, if done right that coule be *very* cool.

TIE-Fighter! It has a plot, lots and lots of really cool crafts, ace pilots, lots of rebel scum waiting for their doom, evil renegade admirals, undercover agents... That would have been sweet.
