Seriously? Are they japanese films? Also, were they craptastic?

[pac-man]

This is the first I've heard about it. EisigerBiskuit, are you sure you're thinking about movies? Not cutscenes in the game, but a film released in theaters or on video.

[executioneer]

mgs2 has more total length of cutscenes than most hollywood movies

[EisigerBiskuit]

which is funny because I was sad enough to watch all the cutscenes for MGS3 on Subsistence.

They releasing two movies next year based off the three kingdoms era. One looks really good, the other looks kinda decent.

To be fair, the Three Kingdoms book is one of the four pillars of Chinese literature and should get its fair share of revivals. It's very important.

I know, I'd figure it was worth a mention. Have you read it at all? It's on my to read list after finishing Don Quixote and Water Margin.

I know the story after reading the Wikipedia article. Might be worth a read, providing I can find a copy somewhere. Hardcover is always preferable. Water Margin looked interesting, though.

Don't know if it's a rumor or not but I've read somewhere that MGS4 has one single cutscene that literally lasts for 90 minutes. You CAN pause.

Kirby would be a great movie, by the way. But I'd really love to see a TF2 one

That's how Xenosaga Episode 1 felt.

[Shyandquietguy]

Rocket Knight adventures unless it was made by Fatal Farms.

Ok, how bout this:

A young, lovable everyman gamer recieves a copy of Smash Bros. Brawl, shows substantial skill in the game, and vows to become the world's number 1 tournament player.

This takes him on an EPIC QUEST in which he must combat vicious basement dwellers, autistic asians, and people who REFUSE to play on any level other than Final Destination with items turned off.

Dylan TNGA would co-star as himself, of course.

Aw fuck.
This had better at LEAST be in CG like Advent Children was. That was one game movie I really liked.

[pac-man]

Advent Children sucked, IMO. All CGI is not the way to go for Halo. I think a James Cameron-type could really do it justice (think Aliens).

Don't believe me:

Oh god. My brother always pick that same fucking level.

If you DON'T go for an all-CG movie, with the original voice actors, it's just going to turn out cheesy and have less of the accuracies along the game line. Like it's going to look damn terrible in an aluminum MJOLNIR suit. Plus you just can't do the same stuff with a live actor as you can with CG. If you go all CG you can have so many bad-ass scenes, without harming an actor, spending money on special effects, trainers and stunt doubles, and it WON'T look like a 1985 Chinese 'Action' movie.

[pac-man]

If you want an all CG Halo that follows the game's plot to a tee, play the game.

[LordSappington]

No, I want an all CG MOVIE. Gawd.

Honestly, that was pretty kickass. I want more, please.

[LordSappington]

It was okay. Better than I expected, I'll give you that.

From what I read about it, the people who were writing the script more or less had Master Chief as a supporting character, and the soldiers around him as the main characters. I think this had to do with Master Chief being unable to show emotions, since he is essentially faceless.
