why should they

video games are fun because theyre fun to play, not because they have good characters or stories

pretty much all video game stories are ultra derivative and suck complete ass

We have had quite a few good movies based on games lately
The Sonic movies were good, as well as Detective Pikachu and The Super Mario Brothers.

Half of Warcraft was a good movie, at least.

The medium simply doesn't translate well. Not saying it can't be done, but there are some hurdles that have to be cleared to make it even remotely feasible.

Yeah they do. It's an immutable law of movie making.

I think most of them were at least decent. Uwe Bolls adaptations are trash but thats because hes a trash filmmaker in general.

Nope. (OG) Deus Ex was amazing. Disco Elysium is amazing. Planescape Torment is amazing.

MGS would be a good movie series if they would just let Kojima direct the damn thing.

A film adaptation of a game should stay true to the source material.

The Super Mario Bros movie (the new one) isn't exactly true to the source material but it's close.

The only Resident Evil movie to stay somewhat close to the source material is Welcome to Raccoon City. It's closer than any of the other previousl live action movies were.

Mortal Kombat (1995) and the new MK movie are like 99% accurate.

video games where story beats are driven by player choice do not have good writing btw

That is a wild assertion. You know someone had to write the story that players get to choose from right?

They need to follow HBO's lead and do streaming series. Maybe start with MGS or an older FF game. Only problem with that might be budget, especially FF.

MK 1995 is my example of a great video game movie. stands on its own and uses source material fairly accurately and condensing it down to a watchable format.

What happened to Annihilation is sad tho.
