The new series from HBO, The Last of Us, adaptation of the game that contains the same name, won the hearts of the public. Fans who had already followed the game fell in love with the network's original creation. streaming and those who haven't played it have also been enthralled by the storyline laid out during the series. In addition to the highly regarded cast, bringing names like Pedro Pascal e Beautiful Ramsey, the characters are endearing and the story holds the audience in every episode released. 6g6i50
There are several representations of games, some that have had great acceptance and others not so much. With that in mind, we decided to separate some game adaptations that could go to the small screen just to quench the curiosity of what it would be like to see our favorite characters telling their stories on the small TV screens.
1 – Mass Effect 531b4y
Developed by Mac Walters, Mass Effect is one of the game adaptations that the public most believes would be a great candidate to be taken to the small screen. Even the director has already shown interest in this transformation, saying in some interviews that it is a plan he would like to put into practice, however, in series form, since it would be very difficult to develop the story on film with so little time.
The rumors are that soon the Amazon Studios will produce the series of this amazing game. The news began to be released in 2022, however, we still have no information about the cast, premiere date or anything related to the production of the series. We have some assumptions that the series could be played by Henry Cavill, however, as already said, everything is still very vague and we don't know what will really happen, since we also haven't even had exact confirmation about the adaptation of the game.
The game, which takes place entirely in space, has a Star Wars feel, mainly related to the representation of the environment, colors and landscapes. It's a game with many fans waiting for a good adaptation just like The Last of Us.
Anyway, it's worth ing that many game adaptations took a while to arrive; for example, The Last of Us was announced in 2021, but only had its debut two years later in 2023, which gives some hope to fans of the game.
2 – A Plague Tale 47i1t
Another game that many fans believe will be a big hit as a series is At Plague Tale, a game that mixes fantasy with the sad reality of in the fourteenth century, has won the hearts of many with the moving story of Amicia and Hugo, brothers who face the difficulties of the time, in addition to having to survive a plague of rats.
Many put faith in this adaptation since it will bring that taste of wanting more at the end of each episode, because, if they bet on a good cast, the chance for the public to get attached is very great. In addition, the development of the story will also make the adaptation more and more interesting and attractive. After all, everyone will want to follow the unfolding behind Hugo's powers, in addition to the carnivorous rats that will bring the feeling of fear in viewers.
To the delight of many, this adaptation was confirmed in 2022 by the director of the future series himself, Mathieu Turi, who has also been in other renowned projects, such as the film Inglourious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino.
Regarding the cast, we still don't know much, but it is possible that they will also bring French actors, since a large part of the production will be French, as Asobo Studio itself has stated.
3 – Crash Bandicoot 1j5r5s
With the Sonic movie being a success, the mascot most loved by all could, yes, have his own movie or series. It would certainly bring a more lively and fun story, and could even be an animation. We have no doubt that whatever choice it was would be a success.
There have already been rumors of a supposed recording for an animated film, but the news was given a while ago and was never actually confirmed. The reality is that we would love to see Crash and his adventures turned into a film, wouldn't we?! For now, we’re just left hanging and waiting to see if any company invests in this brilliant idea.
4 – StarFox 693zz
Star Fox is one of the classics of Nintendo, based on the story of a space pilot and his crew who travel through space facing several mercenaries to protect the Lylat system from the evil scientist Andross. The game has a Star Wars footprint, especially in its battles. It sure would make a great animation.
In 2021, there were murmurs that the Netflix would be producing an adaptation of the game in animation format, inspired by the film The Fantastic Mister Fox, by Wes Anderson. The information was later confirmed.
However, unfortunately for many, the animation was canceled by Nintendo after leaking some information about the adaptation of another game that was already under negotiation. With the leak, Adam Conover, responsible for producing the script for Star Fox, said that the Big N stopped all adaptation productions.
A pity that this happened, I believe that the Star Fox adaptation would have been one of the most popular game adaptations and certainly a success.
5 – Spyro 3p4b6s
With animations coming to the big screen, like Sonic and Super Mario Bros, for example, it wouldn't be hard to imagine an animation with the Spyro.
One of our favorite characters, he is the protagonist of several games that could be transformed into animations easily, leaving an attractive and fun movie, becoming one that the whole family loves to watch.
6 - Control 6s1n3c
Control fits perfectly in a science fiction series that could yield a lot of success in the cinema. Bringing an air of X file, the game takes place today, but with a certain connection to the supernatural.
During the story, the protagonist must explore paranormal realities and prevent them from collapsing. During this trajectory, we can expect many skills, including leaps and jumps worthy of the cinema. We also have the villain who caused all this chaos, who will be left for Jesse to clean up. Talk if it's not worthy of a series plot? I bet many would be looking forward to the next chapter, only to learn more and more about Control's mysteries.
Gary Whitta, screenwriter of Rogue One, was very interested in a future adaptation of the game. Gary, who already has experience with gaming issues as he is a specialized journalist, used twitter to respond to a fan, confirming his interest in bringing the game to a film production. However, it is worth ing that this idea came up in 2020 and there was no further news on the subject.
7 – Call of Duty 2v2r4l
Call of Duty is very famous for the option of multiplayer, perfect for those who want to spend time with friends. However, we also have the option to play single player, following dramatic stories, and that's where the question comes in. What if these stories were made into movies? Infiltrations, guns and explosions, it's perfect for a successful war movie.
8 – Dark Souls 22i3q
Dark Souls takes place in a fantasy world, dark and full of monsters, where the protagonist, a living dead, gathers souls to rekindle the First Flame and save the kingdom of darkness. With this introduction alone, we already thought of a film with a strong plot and a story that will hold the audience's attention from beginning to end.
The game lets the player choose how he will proceed with the game, but this leaves the scriptwriter's option to create a surprising ending without leaving the game's characteristics, in addition to being able to recreate several clashes with big bosses.
In October of last year, it was reported that Sony could be investing in some game adaptations, and one of them could be the adaptation of Dark Souls. However, we don't have much news about this supposed adaptation of Dark Souls and not even sure if the adaptation will actually come out.
9 - The Legend of Zelda x1y4l
Fans have been waiting for a long time for the adaptation of The Legend of Zelda in live action. This has always been one of the most insistent requests from fans of the franchise, however, until today this wish has not been met.
A while ago, the animation studio Imagi even proposed an animation for the game to Nintendo, even making a small preview to present their project, however, after that we had no more news about this animation adaptation.
There is no doubt that if The Legend of Zelda is adapted for the cinema, it will be a great success, after all, of all game adaptations, this is perhaps the most requested by fans.
10 – Deathloop 4j3v2k
Em Deathloop you live one loop repetitive until you finally manage to beat the game. For this you will need to kill eight targets before the day ends and everything starts again. However, for you to carry out this task you will need to be smart, look for clues and devise ways to complete the objective. The game takes place in the 70s and there are several ways to play it, which makes everything more interesting.
With this, producing a film or series using this script as a basis is not difficult, bearing in mind that there are already some films following the same parameter, so it would be necessary to innovate.
As the game has several ways of developing, this gives freedom to the screenwriter to create and throw himself into the story, bringing something new and surprising. Perhaps of the game adaptations it is the one with the most elements to be explored. It would certainly be one of the greatest video game adaptations and would win over a large audience.
11 - Detroit: Become Humann 1m65j
Detroit: Become Human takes place in the year 2038, showing what the future could be like with technological evolution. The game takes place in a way where society is already very technologically advanced, even having androids living in the service of human beings.
However, as things are already more evolved, there comes a time when robots no longer want to live as employees of human beings, going in search of their freedom. But of course that depends on what the player chooses in the course of the game.
Having this script as the basis for a science fiction series, for example, to be able to better explore each character, as well as the story being told, there is no doubt that it would be very well accepted by the public. The story brings all the points that viewers like.
12 – Metroid e3m30
The history of Metroid It's simple. It revolves around Samus Aran, a bounty hunter trying to protect the galaxy.
Turning this game into a movie adaptation wouldn't be that difficult, after all, it would make a great science fiction movie, with lots of action and fights against aliens. Or maybe a series showing the adventures of Samus Aran, since there are several Metroid games. Anyway, I believe that Metroid has a lot to offer for the cinematic universe, the story is interesting and easy to develop.
13-Red Dead Redemption 5u2860
The game depicts the journey of John Marston, who had abandoned crime and become a farmer, until his family is taken by government agents and he is forced to go after his former gang colleagues.
The story has everything to become a series or a movie, as the plot is not just about action, it brings dramas such as betrayal, trust, overcoming, in short, several feelings that blossom during John's trajectory throughout the game. The story is remarkable and has a purpose, if produced as a series, people will not wait to see the episodes to watch.
14 – Diablo 3l6p6n
The game Diablo brings the need to fight the evil spread by the Lord of Terror, in this case Diablo, which afflicts the small town of Tristram.
The story would be a great adaptation for both film and series, with many mysteries to be discovered revolving around a cathedral.
To our delight, in 2020 the first rumors began that the Blizzard Entertainment in partnership with Netflix would be producing an animated Diablo series, following the same style of Castlevania, a great success.
15 - Watch Dogs 5y5cm
The game Watch Dogs it didn't perform as well upon its release in 2014, however, its story adapted into a film or series would be a big gamble. Unlike other game adaptations, perhaps this one does a little better than the game.
The game tells about a Chicago hacker who is looking for people and resources that can somehow help him fight against the ctOS organization and find who was responsible for the death of his niece. With this plot, a movie doesn't seem so bad right?
And to the happiness of many, this idea has already left the paper. The adaptation of Watch Dogs was confirmed by Ubisoft, which said it already had a partnership with Sony Pictures regarding the production of the new film. However, unfortunately, no premiere dates or any cast relation have yet been confirmed.
