Until now, we have witnessed the series and movie adaptations of many games. Although we encountered many successful works when it comes to Arcane, Sonic, the game adaptations were generally inadequate and failed to satisfy the players.
We can easily say that this situation will change in the coming years and we will encounter dozens of new game adaptations. We have also prepared a new list of games that we want to watch, whether it is a series or a movie. So, let’s get to our list.
Games we wish we could watch, even if it was a movie or a TV series:
- Crysis
- Dark Souls
- Dishonored
- Doom
- Dying Light
- Frostpunk
- Heavy Rain
- Hellblade
- League of Legends
- Mafia
- Mass Effect
- Prototype
- Starcraft
- Watch Dogs
- The Witcher
Arm yourself with: Crysis
Although movies in which humanity fights against aliens are outdated; There may be a science-fiction trilogy from the Crysis series that we will all love to watch. Along with nanoarmor and iconic “Maximum armor, power, speed and stealth” mods; Who can say no to a movie series where super soldiers fight aliens?
An atmospheric production where you will sail into a deep and dark universe: Dark Souls
Although not known by most people, Souls universes have very deep stories. Although the presentation of these stories in plays is preferred in a different way, this deep story can be reflected to the audience through movies. The Dark Souls series, which stands out with its excellent atmosphere and enemy designs, is a dark fantasy product that can represent its own universe in the world of cinema quite successfully. The only question is, would it be stressful to watch?
Let’s see Corvo on the big screen: Dishonored
Dishonored’s revenge story may seem a little ordinary at first glance. However, if the ‘Steampunk’ universe of the game and the freedom and diversity it provides to the player can be adapted well, we are highly likely to encounter a perfect production. In addition, compared to other stealth games, it has a structure that can attract the attention of the audience with its supernatural powers.
The only thing they fear… You are Doom
In a universe where the armies of hell have invaded the world, one person, Slayer, goes on an interdimensional demon hunt to save the world. The Doom series, which fits the sentence ‘to narrow the hell to the demons’, is also of great importance in the game world, as it is a game that lays the foundations of the genre we call ‘FPS’ together with Wolfenstein 3D. This famous series deserves a brutally up-to-date action movie with lots of rock ‘n’ roll music in the background.
Another zombie movie should be included: Dying Light
Dying Light has a unique feature that can distinguish it from ordinary zombie content. The fact that its open world is a huge parkour area and this mechanic can be adapted to the game in a fun way. If this track system can be successfully reflected in the movie, we can encounter a much more action-packed and gripping story than other zombie movies.
An emotional struggle for survival after the apocalypse: Frostpunk
Frostpunk, despite its overhead camera and strategic structure; It is a game that very successfully makes the player feel the weight and consequences of his decisions emotionally. Well, what if this social survival game came out as a series? A series about the manager of the last surviving community in a world buried under ice… Who would say no to a production in which the sacrifices that this community will make to survive will be handled beautifully?
It’s like a movie on its own anyway; However, the horror side can be emphasized: Heavy Rain
Having one of the most impressive stories in the game world, Heavy Rain was trying to influence the player psychologically and was doing it successfully. Heavy Rain was a production that focused more on detective and psychological thrillers. Besides the detective side; If the dose of fear is increased, we can watch a very gripping emotional story.
A psychological thriller about Norse mythology: Hellblade
God of War, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Valheim, we have witnessed that Scandinavian mythology is used by many games. Hellblade, on the other hand, has a feature that distinguishes itself from these games. It is about a dark and spiritual story. Hellblade, a psychology-focused puzzle game that came out of this theme, managed to hook the player with its successful story and interesting story. Well, would it be bad to watch this story full of tension and difficulty in the cinema with the realistic whispers coming from the huge speakers worth tens of thousands of pounds around?
Please don’t be angry, just listen first: League of Legends
League of Legends may seem like a simple and very popular online game; however, it consists of a huge universe and a world with interesting characters. The Runeterra universe is a detailed and home to hundreds of amazing stories. Although the story side has not been given much weight in the game, the Arcane series published by Riot Games on Netflix is one of the examples of successful stories we can give. Showing what he can do with Arcane, would it be bad if Riot shot us a Mordekaiser series?
A bit of a crime world: Mafia
Although mafia stories are outdated in the world of cinema, the Mafia series (we can say this, except for the third game) will not pass. Who wouldn’t want to watch this story, which will take the subject from the very beginning and stay true to the essence of the series with its casting choices? A good TV series about the criminal world and the 1930s would have pleased us all.
One of the most successful sci-fi universes ever: Mass Effect
The Mass Effect universe, created by BioWare, is undoubtedly the best science fiction universe ever. -one of the fictional universes. Well, wouldn’t you like to see a seasoned series about this universe? Although we know that the series rights belong to Amazon, there is no official information that it is under production yet.
A story full of mystery: Prototype
When Alex Mercer, whose memory has been erased, awakens as ‘Prototype’ and has superior powers as a result of dirty experiments, he does this to him. The play, which tells us the story of revenge against those who did it, can be the subject of a good movie. Also, it would be nice to see a new Prototype game from Activision.
One of Blizzard’s works: Starcraft
Starcraft, one of Blizzard Entertainment’s successful game series, is a strategy game that hosts a very deep universe. In 2016, we came across the movie of World of Warcraft. Why shouldn’t Starcraft have a movie of its own?
And one from Ubisoft: Watch Dogs
The first Watch Dogs game, based on Aiden Pearce’s story, remained in our minds as an average production. Despite this, he had a very interesting main character. A vigilante crime fighter devoted to vengeance, Aiden was also a very successful hacker. Aiden was at a level that we can say is manageable in terms of combat. It would be a very good idea to combine the concept of hacking with a movie on the theme of Batman. From the
series of books, we want the movie or series of the game: The Witcher
The Witcher universe, a universe created by books written by a Polish author, Andrzej Sapkowski . Although the books were quite popular before; CD Projekt is the company that played the biggest role in making this universe a worldwide brand. One of the biggest factors is the worldwide success of Witcher games and the fact that they are so loved by the players. There is currently a Netflix series available; however, we know that this series has nothing to do with games and is about (or trying to get) books. Witcher games, on the other hand, are about the aftermath of the books. Although the first Witcher game is seriously old; It contains a wonderfully detailed story. A TV series or movie that will focus on Witcher games from the very beginning would have been really nice.
As of now, we have come to the end of our list of 15 plays, which we wish we could watch to the fullest even if it was a TV series or a movie. In our previous content; Since we have already covered many games such as Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne and Metro, we took care to choose completely different games in this content. Well, which game’s movie or series would you like to see? You can also access our previous content just below.
