Hope they do the weed burning Skrillex mission

Been a staple of my playlist for damn near a decade

Please, no one tell Hollywood about No Man’s Sky, Dwarf Fortess, Portal or Subnautica.

I assume there is a 99% chance of a Cyberpunk 2077 and/or Red Dead Redemption movie/series in the next 5 years.

MMOs are probably safe after the Warcraft movie. Thanks for taking that one, WoW players.

A Portal movie with more then two characters would just be Cube.

Why?

Why do you have your testicular torsion over video games getting adaptations?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Cyberpunk already does with their Edgerunners anime on Netflix

[–] simple@piefed.social 1 points 11 hours ago

it was really good and getting a second season too

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

The whole western is also overdone now too. It wouldn’t stand out if they made one based on the story. The story isn’t that unique either.

I dunno, Far Cry actually feels like a reasonable fit for a show anyway compared to most games.

Theyre not really open to impactful decisions beyond the endings (which end up feeling samey), and most of the appeal comes from the exploration anyway.

An anthology about people being dumped into horrible survival situations writes itself anyway. So long as the creative director isn't a nut job portraying the religious cult leader as being in the right...

Except for that one time he was right.

I keep praying to Zeus for a red dead show... it's perfect for tv i wish they'd do it

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 6 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Which far cry though, isn’t every game different?

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago

Sure. But no.

It is an FPS. Here is a setting, here is some gear N shit, now go fight!

They're all the same general concept... just different characters. Guy ends up somewhere, reluctantly becomes a hero and saves the area from the bad guys by killing everything that moves.

I enjoyed the first couple games as the mechanics evolved, but after awhile they started feeling kinda stale. (at least in my opinion.)

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

First was the best. Downhill from there. Just my opinion, really. The follow ups just used the name and not the premise.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

Idk, the one with the cult was pretty solid. A bit on the nose, but I can’t imagine them being able to release that plot on a tv show currently

[–] DampSquid@feddit.uk 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The exception being Blood Dragon, far and away the best one

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I stopped after the second one. The only thing I liked about it was the stealth and lighting the grass on fire.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

fucking malaria all the time

[–] Feyd@programming.dev 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't they even change genres? It's been a long time since I thought about far cry but iirc the first one is a pretty neat linear sci fi shooter and the rest are mundane current world ubisoft map slop?

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago

That’s a bingo!

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have a bad feeling about this.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, we already got a Far Cry movie by Uwe Boll what could a series possibly do better?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't believe he changed his last name to Mac. 🤦‍♂️

[–] TammyTobacco@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

It seems so unnecessary since he already had so much name recognition.
