Illyria Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 That reminds me, I wonder if that Life is Strange series is still going forward. If we didn't already have Our Flag Means Death I would've suggested a Monkey Island 20-30 min per episode comedy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Lyon Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Half-Life series made by Netflix so it gets cancelled after two seasons. Seriously, a movie of the original Half-Life would be quite fun with whoever it is escaping Black Mesa and confronting soldiers and aliens. HL2 would obviously make a good series in that world. It's not like Valve are using it anymore. Also something with Left 4 Dead although I think I'd like the characters from the sequel over the first. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vimster Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Serious answer: Manhunt - maybe not 10 episodes but you could do some grotty Maniac-style slasher for the first half, then he gets caught and sent out as in the game. Pure, grimy, exploitation telly. Not-so-serious answer: The Sims except it's as if the game was played by a complete arsehole. The various characters just having the worst days possible, totally out of their control. Could contrast nicely with the clean American suburbia style the game goes for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capwn Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I’ve said this a few times here but I would love a tv show of resident evil that was inspired by the FMV intro of the first game. A weird cross between that and Garth Marengis Dark Place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarhkFox Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I nearly said Resident Evil, but it would be a very lonesome tv show considering the main character spends most of the time on his own. Might make a 3 part series but i couldn't imagine the first game pushing out a longer season. I guess they could maybe have two timelines, one with umbrella and one with the mansion to resolve the issue? Although i believe the netflix series tried something similar with the two timelines and it wasn't great from what i heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoppy2000 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 The netflix Resident Evil wasn't really like the games so there is still potential to do a series set in the mansion. I doubt it'll happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imp Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 On 18/01/2023 at 12:39, RubberJohnny said: I was thinking about Pentiment while I was playing it, it's a decent story that could be done somewhat modestly due to being small scale and has some fun genre mystery aspects with all the ruins and ciphers and trippy visuals, but it'd be a tough one due to the timeskips, you can age up a videogame character 30 years no problem, but realistically you'd need recasts in a live production and that's kind of a problem, the last act keys off familiarity which is undermined when you're going "who's this guy playing again?" An Italian TV channel did an adaptation of Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose a few years ago which Pentiment borrows from fairly liberally in terms of its aesthetic trappings if not necessarily its themes. If you want to watch a murder being solved in a medieval monastery in mainland Europe, it’s there to be sought out. John Turturro in the lead too! No idea if it’s any good or not, mind.

RubberJohnny Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I can't believe there are people out there wanting more Resident Evil adaptations, haven't people suffered enough? GTA - I thought Sorry to Bother You's over the top social commentary would be a pretty good fit for GTA (except also a crime caper). I mean "I Got the Shit Beat Out of Me!" is basically what you'd watch on a TV in those games, although given the creator is a communist and this is like, a big corporate series it's not looking like the most plausible combo.

Do they gradually become aware that their lives are being manipulated, in a Truman Show/Stranger Than Fiction sort of way? e.g. They get into the swimming pool and nearly drown when the ladder vanishes. The series ends with the walls slamming down around them, trapping them in a tiny cubicle. "I need the toilet!" they cry. IRIS OUT, ROLL CREDITS.
