![]() ![]() So what they do is they water down and dumb down the story. Also, Hollywood tends to please the entire audience (including the non-gamer part of the audience). I suppose Christopher Nolan is one of the capable ones, but yeah… I can’t see him directing a Red Dead Redemption film any time soon. Indeed, not that many people in Hollywood can pull off non-linear storytelling without confusing the audience. Also, most games make you feel like you’re IN the game, and on top of that have non- linear stories. So, in that regard, I suppose it was a good decision to fit the Witcher series into a TV series then. The video game stories are way too varied to fit in a 2-hour movie. Were the 2 Hitman movies on the same level as Doom and Assassin’s Creed? So, although not perfect, the comic book adaptations are slightly better than the video game adaptations. Also, he admitted that he is not a comic book fan (hasn’t read a single DC comic book and openly mocks them), but he did well with the Joker. On the other hand, Todd Phillips a different story. We still have people like Zach Snyder whom admittedly haven’t read the comic books he was turning into movies. Because of Hollywood…But don’t think that comic book movies are much better in that department. ![]() In most cases, the screenwriters and the producers are not gamers and are doing it solely for the profit. Warcraft is one example, while Doom and Silent Hill are others. Which is a shame because both movies and video games involve storytelling in their core. They haven’t even played it, and don’t have the slightest idea on how to translate the story and transfer it on the silver screen. First and foremost, because most of the people involved in the adaptation haven’t even heard of the game in question. Well, according to the research I made on the subject, there are several reasons for the poor quality of Hollywood’s video game adaptations. ![]() Why can’t Hollywood make a decent video game movie? The premise of the game itself and the struggles of Hollywood in the making of video game adaptations. All six locations – Paris, Sapienza, Marrakesh, Bangkok, Colorado and Hokkaido are accessible as downloadable content (DLC) and will incorporate various new features from HITMAN 2.īut before I dive into the good and the bad of both Hitman film adaptations, I must mention several things. All living under one ever-expanding roof and building one World of Assassination. The HITMAN Legacy Pack brings remastered and enhanced locations from HITMAN Season One to HITMAN 2. And let’s not forget that once you own it you may play it in the sequel, HITMAN 2, as well. Not to mention, it’s also the topic for my post. ![]() It’s part of our IO Interactive A/S sale and part of our summer sale. In that regards, I’d highly recommend that you give HITMAN™ – Game of The Year Edition a try. Why can’t Hollywood deliver a decent video game adaptation? I mean the best-rated video game adaptation on Rotten Tomatoes is The Angry Birds Movie. But besides, the two separate Hitman movies, I’m going to tackle the age-old question. They showed a lot of potentials, but the final execution was terrible. However, I can say the same thing about the two separate Hitman movies. It wasn’t a particularly good movie (unlike the video game), but it showed potential. The post about Assassin’s Creed was a fun throwback to the Assassin’s Creed movie. But it’s not the first time that I write about assassins here at IndieGala. And so is Agent 47, the main protagonist in the franchise. It’s in fact an iconic video game franchise. But Hitman is more than a video game franchise. 2 Hitman movies were derived from one great game. ![]()
