Video games and movies should not be intersected. In the wake of the new Resident Evil trailors I have given it much thought. The only movie/game combination that wasn't a total ripoff or disappointment was Tron.

And it doesn't seem to matter which way you go.

Game to movie = Shitty movie
Movie to game = Really shitty game

So what does everyone else think? Should they keep trying to do this or should they just cut the crap already?

Do you mean a good game came out of Tron, because you can't possibly mean that Tron was a good movie.

I loved Tron.

But I am old, and saw it in the movie theaters and shit...

I dug it. That and the Last Starfighter, although that was a different crossover.

I did like the last Starfighter. I just found Tron to be very bad, but to each his own. Resident Evil looks like it might be okay from the previews, but McDonald's burgers look good in the commercials too, so you can never tell. It'll probably suck. Does anyone know if it is based on one of the video game or is it just some of the characters and a whole new story?

From that write up it looks like it's a bastardized version of the first game. Although no Jill or whatever that guy's name was.

Heh, remember the bad acting in the first Resident Evil?

"What is this?"
"Blood! I hope this is not Jill's blood."

The Alien Trilogy was a great fucking game. Diehard Trilogy was pretty good too.

I hated the movie Alien.

I guess I am in a major minority there. But, Die Hard trilogy was good, I'll have to admit that. The gun action was the bomb!!1!!

Jesus, I guess I didn't put enough thought into this.

Goldeneye was a top notch game. Easy for me to forget though. Since I had a friend that was just to good, and playing him sucked ass. So I have tried to mentally block out the ass kickings he gave me.

Now, I may be the only one on this, but I rather enjoyed both the games and the movies for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. I know they weren't top notch but I still find replay value in both games (all versions) and watch both Mortal Kombats and Street Fighter the Movie every once in a while.

Back when there were Arcade's both MK, and SF were the games to play. Then Tekkon came along, and I don't know what the best combat game is now?

Mortal Kombat the movie was good... Didn't care for the Street Fighter movie... I did, however, like the Animated Street Fighter II Movie.

I enjoyed the Mortal Kombat I movie, but MKII was awful. I couldn't possibly watch that movie again.

The only Star Wars games I didn't like were Episode One and Yoda Stories.
Every other game has been good.
the X-wing series and the Jedi series.. The new one is going to rock.

The TRON arcade games were cool too along with the Star Wars Arcade games from the 80's

I listen to way too much WNEW during the day.

the only video game movie i liked was mortal kombat

final fantasy was a box office nuclear tactical missile, the graphics were okay but it felt they just made up the story as they went along

I'm sure Wing Commander blew......

Don't... open...... that........ do....or!


And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber. And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!" Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus. Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on........ This is necessary. It was daylight when you woke up in your ditch. You looked up at your sky then. That made blue be your color. You had your knife there with you too. When you stood up there was goo all over your clothes. Your hands were sticky. You wiped them on your grass, so now your color was green. Oh Lord, why did everything always have to keep changing like this. You were already getting nervous again. Your head hurt and it rang when you stood up. Your head was almost empty. It always hurt you when you woke up like this. You crawled up out of your ditch onto your gravel road and began to walk, waiting for the rest of your mind to come back to you. You can see the car parked far down the road and you walked toward it. "If God is our Father," you thought, "then Satan must be our cousin." Why didn't anyone else understand these important things? You got to your car and tried all the doors. They were locked. It was a red car and it was new. There was an expensive leather camera case laying on the seat. Out across your field, you could see two tiny people walking by your woods. You began to walk towards them. Now red was your color and, of course, those little people out there were yours too.

Visually great but storywise Final Fantasy was a liberal jack-off fest. "Sure the aliens kill but that doesn't make them bad people, they're misunderstood. Save the earth." Also were Donald Sutherland and Girl the only two people left to repopulate the earth?

Either Tron game came after the movie or it was made joint with the movie-- it's not that the movie came from the game.

Star Wars games have, for the most part, been good and have always been good. Remember the old one where you said in the chair and it was like you were flying an X-Wing? that was the shiznit.

I think the Tron games came out with the movie. I was like 10 or 11 when they came out. I still play the new sit down Star Wars Trilogy game when I'm at an arcade. You get to fight DArth Vadar and Boba Fett with a Lightsaber. The Return of the Jedi arcade game with the Ewoks was kinda lame.

The only thing I liked about the MORTAL KOMBAT movies was when they screamed MMMOOOORRRRTTTALLL KKKOOOMMMMBBBAATTTTT!!!!!!!!

I listen to way too much WNEW during the day.
