example: Spider-man (2002) awesome movie Spider-man (the movie game 2002) holy shit! this is awesome!!! Spider-man 2 (2004) also awesome Spider-man 2 (the movie game 2004) holy shit!!! it is even better than the first! Spider-man 3 (2007) ...what just happened? Spider-man 3 (the movie game 2007) ...WHAT THE FUCK WENT WRONG!?!?!? even the resident evil games suffered from movies that are less than stellar. i watch them for the zombie killing action and the lovely Milla Jovovich. :3
Here is another example that I will repost from the other thread: I just realize that Street Fighter The Movie have achieved something that no other movie or video game can reproduce. Street Fighter The Movie is a PoS that is known to be one of the worse movie based on a video game. Street Fighter The Movie "The Game" is a video game based on a movie that is based on a video game. It's bad. Really bad. I'm surprised people didn't suffocate on how high the pile is on this one.
I will forever disagree that Street Fighter the Movie the Game was a bad game. Was it a dumb concept? Yeah, but the console version was pretty much a reskin of Super Street Fighter 2. It actually played well and I think people just hate it because it exists. I sort of understand. I mean, why choose that, with stiff looking digital sprites, over the real thing? I don't know, but I always found the smooth control of Street Fighter 2 to be far superior to the early Mortal Kombat games, so I enjoyed it more then those. As for the movie itself, well, Raul Julia was amazing to watch, but most the movie felt like street fighter 2 cosplayers putting on a show about things that aren't street fighter.
Gonna chip in here and say that Street Fighter the Movie is a pretty decent game (on consoles, the arcade version is trash). It suffers because it doesn't run as smoothly as it should (at least the PAL version... I think the NTSC version suffers too). It's pretty close to a Super Turbo reskin but with better juggles and FUCKING SAWADA! Beast tier right there. I'm waiting patiently for someone with some coding chops to realise this and go in and fix it so it plays more smoothly and people can judge it properly. Also the movie is god tier, stop talking crazy.
Yeah, forgot to mention that. I heard the arcade game was different and not as good but I never saw one in person to even play it. I had no idea why Sawada was added back in the day, but years later heard he was supposed to play Ryu but was cut from the movie and added as a new character in the game to use him for something. Also, you guys can all thank me for this later, but here is the awesome music video that inexplicably played after beating Street Fighter The Movie Game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV5dTivVJpM
Gotta love the people who casted that movie though. A frenchman playing an american GI. The accent is just hilarious. Jean Claude: "I ham han hamerican special forces." Street Fighter: The Movie: The videogame. Yo, that game was so funky, you had to play the arcade version. I use to play it during lunch time. I would play it while waiting for my turn at Mortal Kombat 3 was it? Killer Instinct released later that year too. Oh man. The memories. The first time I even heard about it, it sounded like a bad joke. little bro: " Big bro, I just saw someone pull off a 70 hit combo directly killed the opponent by making him fall from a building onto to a car below." me: " I don't believe it. Max combo in any game is around maybe 20-21 and no it doesn't kill the guy. Mortal Kombat? perhaps? Maybe a glitch?" little bro: "No. This new game! Killer Instinct! Oh and the guy you beat up for trying to bully you was there too. " me: "And? little bro: "Let's go play the game AND make fun of him." me: "hahahaha. Let's just play the game AND beat him at the game too alright. " that era also marked the first time the interwebs helped me with fatalities, animaliities babalities etc. didn't even buy or check a magazine.
exactly. a better conversation would be to name the good ones. even more interesting is to purposely leave out the usual disney movie games since most of them were good. those escape me the moment...
Funny the subject came up, I was just thinking the other day about what the best game-based movie was. General consensus seems to be Mortal Kombat, which is not bad. But I submit Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Best live-action movie I've seen based on a game. Good acting, special effects, didn't stray too far from the source material. My personal favorite game-based movie is the Street Fighter anime movie. Ton of awesome stuff in there (Chun-Li vs Vega FTW) And regarding best movie based games: NES Batman (excellent but hard) and SNES Batman Returns (pretty good but repetitive)
My picks Best game to movie - Silent Hill by a longshot. Loved that movie. Best movie to game - so much steaming shit to choose from. You know what I'll agree with you and say NES batman. That game was fun as hell. Unless somehow Turtles in Time qualifies. Which I don't think it does
And if I recall correctly, one of the creator stated in an interview that the idea for the original Street Fighter game came from a movie. So it may be a game based on a movie based on a game based on a previous game inspired by a movie.
Hmmm. I thought SF was based on a manga because of Sagat and Ryu. Ryu's also based on the father of Kyokushinkai. Final Fight, which was very loosely based on a movie, was suppose to be the successor to Street Fighter. It even had the name Street Fighter 92' or something. I remember seeing it on a magazine. edit: Here you go.
If the turtles happened to travel back to feudal Japan, then it might have qualified by sheer coincidence More possibilities: NES Willow (a Zelda clone but not a bad one), the arcade Tron game, and the original vector-graphics arcade Star Wars game (I've never really played it but I know it's considered a classic). For that matter, how about the SNES Super Star Wars games. Definitely not bad games by any stretch, they could just be insanely difficult. EDIT: That's an awesome picture seali_me, I never knew that before. Just think, if that name stuck, the entire SF series might have ended up being side scrolling beat-'em-ups instead of the revolutionary competitive fighting series we know.
Finished all of them except the last one. The games were definitely challenging. Famicom Star Wars was awesome as well. I remember getting all the way to jumping parts in base which I thought was the death star. Goonies was also good. Is that a disney movie? I remember the game but not the movie. Never finished any of them either.
The Goonies film was what inspired me and my friends to go outside in hopes of finding treasure in the woods. Love that film. As far as movie games, I like Gremlins (NES), Ghostbusters II (Famicom), and Jurassic Park (Genesis). As far as games that should replace the movie: Alien VS Predator (Arcade).
Yes, I forgot Gremlins 2 for NES. Very underrated game. Excellent graphics and music, and the cutscenes are IMO nearly on par with the Ninja Gaiden series. The Aliens arcade game was pretty fun. The Alien 3 SNES game had a great atmosphere that fit the movie well.
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time was a great movie. the only problem i had with it (just a personal opinion) was at the end, our hero travels back to the begining of the story, changes past events making the events you saw completely erased and made me feel like i wasted 2 hours of my life. i haven't played any of the games but i hope to get them all this year.
I first played Sands of Time on one of those PS2 demo compilation discs, and it was the first time I ever played a demo and said "I have to go get this game NOW." It blew me away. I wasn't all that impressed with the sequels but I do still want the PoP HD collection.
Hooked up my Wii and a HDMI adaptor just to test some Gamecube games REmake played very glitchy for some reason, might try component cables eventually Luigis Mansion however looks pretty good, but then again, it supports 480p Its a fun game, cant believe i never played it
