Hollywood wants it to be presented in a way that will make average uneducated people want to see it. Without them there is a very impaired money flow. Less money flow = crappier production values. Crappier production values(especially in an action movie) = not appealing to non computer geeks. Only appealing to a very small niche market = straight to dvd. Straight to dvd = bad. HL on paper doesn't exactly have the story to drive a box-office film the same way it's portrayed in-game, so it's pretty safe to assume Valve isn't going to release some "for great justice", 100% accurate film if they want it to be any good. They have to meet halfway with Hollywood at some point. I personally think they would be better off not making it. I've never desired a movie adaption of the game, and have never heard of anyone else that has until now. It isn't possible to make a movie that is as immersive as a good game, so they are better off not tarnishing HL's awesomeness with a lame, probably forgettable movie.

Cal45 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 It could be good or a complete and utter disaster along the likes of Doom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linoleum Knive Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Video Games do not make good movies. They just dont. Only books SOMETIMES make good movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapt0r J3sus Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 well, bioshock is supposed to be turned into a movie, and i believe production is going on. since it doesnt have much of a story line that you dont learn as you go, so trying to advertise it as a movie it has to have a basic story line to go off of, which if you reveal most of the game in itself, you reveal the ending and such.

SayHelloRosco Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Isn't HL2 already like a movie enough as it is? How many projects are they gonna work on before we get HL2: EP3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
