Darkr0nin@Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 3:49 am : I don't know if anyone's posted this already, but since there was talk of BioShock in the Turok thread, I thought I'd share this with you.
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/08/biosh ... directing/I'm expecting the worst to be honest. Game to movie adaptations have been pretty abysmal thus far (see Doom and Resident Evil). I'm hoping for the best though, that this one will break that trend and at least be fairly decent.
BloodRayne@Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 9:03 am : The only-game-movie adaptation I have hopes for is Max Payne. To bad there's another thread out there giving attention to BioShock.
rich_is_bored@Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 9:37 am : Max Payne might work as a film. At least in that game, the protagonist has character of his own.
BioShock I'm not so sure about. It's another one of those games where the main character is nothing more than a puppet for you to control. He never speaks or exhibits emotion (The audio log of him killing a puppy and crying afterwards barely counts for anything). The idea is that you are supposed to be the protagonist so the character is for the most part left in your hands.
And while the story is good, it's going to be very hard to draft up a personality that fits when everyone has their own ideas of who the main character is. Part of what made the game so cool was that you were given the option to be "evil". With a movie it can only go one direction and that scene is going to lose it's importance in the process. It may end up cut as a result.
Another issue is that everyone who's played the game already knows the spoiler so if they stick to the same plot, the movie is already ruined. It would be impossible to sit through. I'd rather play through the game again.

Since I've time traveled, I'll start a new complaint and rant.
Anyone else getting sick of fan-made, deceiving trailers?
The Happy Friar@Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 2:21 pm : says right in the description of the bioshock trailer it's fanmade. use footage from other things.
max payne looks eh. Sin City WAS the max payne movie as far as i am concerned just like Galexy Quest was the space quest movie.
KoRnScythe@Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 4:03 pm : Oh! For once, I actually didn't read the description of the movies I watch on Youtube when I should have. Well, in that case, I'll do an Ashlee Simpson jig and walk off stage.
