You have $250 million dollars that you have to spend on making movies/shows from games

So someone gives you $250 million dollars to spend on making movies or TV shows, which games do you port over?

- I'd do 150 million movie, 2 hours long, on Skyrim. 
- I'd do 10 episodes (1 hour) of a show on Path of Exile - 2.5 mil per episode
- I'd do 10 episodes (1 hour) of a show on EVE - 2.5 mil per episode
- I'd do 10 episodes (30 minute) on youtube of Mike Tyson's Punchout - 0.2 million per episode
- I'd do 10 episodes (1 hour) of a show Neverwinter  - 4.8 mil per episode

That's my list. Hopefully, i'll be profitable so I can keep doing more other stuff or keep continuing the TV shows. The Skyrim would hope to be a trilogy. Which ones would you like to see the most?

    You think too small Chris Roberts has MADE nearly that much making movies (in a studio backers bought and paid for) and called it gameplay footage.

    I would make a two part movie series based on White Wolf’s Book of Nod and Revelations of the Dark Mother. Graphic novel type animation similar to Todd Mcfarlane’s Spawn

    I don't waste my $250 million making a movie based on a video game.

    Since I would like to make money I would simply spend all $250k on various FORTNITE based projects.  Movie, TV Show...  behind the scenes TV show...

    Not bad, but how about a Graveyard Keeper porno?  =)

    People defending SC will tell you that's only enough money for one years worth of development time.

    250 million for a Movie/TV show about a game.

    This is a hard choice, because honestly, as the lore and setting goes for most MMO's, they suck.

    I guess... I would go with something like a Darkest Dungeon TV series, similar to Walking Dead.

    Elder Scrolls of course.

    Dragon Age as a TV series set as a side story during the blight of Orgins.

    Mass Effect Trilogy done as movies. 

    Mass Effect Earth invasion.  A TV show of band of N7 surviving the reaper attack on Earth.

    Full Throttle TV show is a must.

    Animated Monkey Island movies loosely based on the games starring Guy.

    Werewolf the Apocalypse Trilogy of movies, oops tabletop

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown the movie

    What about a TV show called MMORPG?  It would be a combination of The Office and this website.

    I love Skyrim, but wow would it make a terrible movie :lol:  Does it have to be an MMO?  Because Adventure games and single-player RPGs in general are probably more suited to becoming a movie.  Okami, the Myst series, one of my old favorites Sanitarium... *looks at my Steam library*  Ooh Ether One would make a great movie.  The Magic Circle could be good too.  Something like Darkest Dungeon or Thea provides a good setting but it would need some characters developed more personally and new plot written.
    I want to help design and develop a PvE-focused, solo-friendly, sandpark MMO which combines crafting, monster hunting, and story.  So PM me if you are starting one.

    A Kirby movie...

    Mass Effect series revolving around the trilogy. You could even use the model that was used for male Shepard. Would be awesome to get the GoT guys to write it. 2 seasons per game. Maybe 3 for ME3.

    The Lich King. 

    This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

  • MadFrenchieMadFrenchie Member LegendaryPosts: 8,505
    I'd take a series on The Last of Us, if only because the source material is such high-quality stuff.

    Beyond that...  Bioshock would be a cool source material to draw from.  Heavy emphasis on the retro-tech world, dystopian political dynamic, and gene augmentation features.  The Big Daddy/Little Sister dynamic wouldn't work so well within the series, so I'd avoid that becoming a major plot point in spite of its prominent role in the game.


    Game of Thrones-style Warhammer series would be cool, too.  The whitewalkers would be kind of analogous to the role I see Chaos taking, and the Dothraki would be akin to Greenskins.


    Hell, XCOM 2, with it's alien-human integration/infiltration and resistance storyline would make for a helluva AMC/Sci-Fi series source material.

    Kind of already have that. Have you seen the LOTR movies? I would watch it though ;-)

    From those I'd choose EVE.

    I would make games that were games on one end, same as we have ever known, IE tetris/WoW/UO/Lemmings/Bejeweled/minecraft etc that were somehow algorithmically, perhaps AI/CVNN/quantum assistancedly(TM) TIED to/into AND/OR CONNECTED TO AND/OR HAS AN EFFECT ON REAL WORLD DATA that in our real world today is shifted around by some poor sap in a cubicle someplace. 

     In other words lets change the world, allow folks to make livings playing/creating/supporting and having an ownership stake in things they love to do anyway whereby in game actions/characters/outcomes change/manipulate/move/ or otherwise affects real world data, allowing a sale/an advertisement/a transaction/a movement of data to take place that otherwise would have been loathingly done in the past.  

    Think of a young man playing Tetris at home, earning a living playing a game he enjoys in the safety of home, while on the other end, buyers are being matched with sellers, deals being made, transactions settled, accounts updated, calculations simulated.  

    Think of Minecraft, where each voxel block(resources in a mmo) contains a real world monetary/exchange value(via blockchain), can be traded on a real world or in game exchange, and that inherent value is reflected downline in items/creations made with each said resource.  Value and any other statistics could carry on, giving items/properties/playermade widgits true histories, and real world values.  That can be CASHED OUT or traded allowing generation of real world income via in game actions, the decentralization, virtualization and gamification of work.  

    Do not go into the light
