Despite a few successes peppered over the course of several decades, the general consensus is that video game movies are not only a risky proposition for studios, but most of them are lacking in quality. However, we might be in the midst of a changing of the guard, so to speak, as game developers take a more hands-on role in video game movie development (a la Marvel Comics).
An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.
He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷♂️
I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .
In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?
The remake teased an expanded universe, but now a sequel has no chance of delivering on it.
Honestly i believe it was mainly as retaliation for the original devs breaking off and making colisto protocol. They've done this a few times, ignoring fan demands for the return of a belived ip until someone does it for them, then they retaliate by only then announcing an entry. Colisto protocol was announced and EA announced the remake shortly after, Session finally hit consoles and skate 4 was announced, shortly after Undisputed was shown off, talks started happening about a new fight night.
It was a solid game and we'll have to move on and accept it for what it is. Just because we're not getting a sequel (original or remake) doesn't mean there's no point anymore in what is a great, tense, well-paced single player experience. No one's taking Dead Space Remake away.
I just hope that the game isn't so technically stitched together on PC that driver updates render the game unplayable like what happened with me and my RTX 4070 last year, requiring a driver downgrade just months after the game came out. If you're a console player then you've got no worries.
Most likely for EA to cash in on the remake craze that followed Capcom when they started remaking RE games. I am glad EA did it I enjoy the game. DS is one of my favorite franchises love the sci fi horror shit. What I don't like is EA not remaking DS2. So DS1 remake did not do well with the numbers so what. DS2 has a solid fanbase and is probably the best entry in the franchise depending on the fan. DS2 remake would have been a day one for me but I got a reminder on why I hate EA. Scrap the DS2 remake for a shitty Iron Man game.
It's because the gaming community want remakes and remasters over new games.
I think that is for the best of the franchise o be left alone then to be turned into a game as a service or something like that, EA has the awful habit of trying to monetize everything.
Zachary M. Cain said: Shadow of the Colossus is hailed as one of the best action-adventure titles of its time. The game was originally released for the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2005. It was so good in fact, it got a remastered version in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and was well received by old and new fans alike. Let’s revisit this iconic classic in 2024 and see how well it holds up to its past reputation.
So let me get this straight...
For Deus Ex we are getting Scott Derrickson & C. Robert Cargill people who have never really explored outside the horror genre...and I mean the bad horror genre with the cheap scare tatics.
For Dead Space we are getting a crappy writer who let alone has never probably played Dead Space but did the god awful Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li film. Way to go EA, being cheap as always and getting a crappy director/writter...well done.
then
For Shadow of the Colossus we are....actually wait....Shadow of the bloody Colossus. What the fudge...why are they even doing this in the first place.
Jesus Christ, they make it out like starting it in house is good for the film but as soon as it leaves their control it will be turned into crap and butchered. It's bound to happen, go along with what the developer says to make them happy and then by the time it's finished all the developers input will be tossed outside the window.
Hollywood and these developers are morons...hell NaughtyDog have begged Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to do an Uncharted film numerous times, yeah ND did, not Sony.
Shadow of the Colossus will be the most depressing movie of all-time.
And the most beautiful, if its done well.
I'd love to see a SotC movie! But how are they going to mainstream solitude, Argo and the dual wonder/horror of the Colossi?
Shadow of the colossus movie would be lame, how are they gon film the hero kill all the colossus one by one ? 2 hours won't cut it if it's gon have a good fighting scene with each one , unless they gon skip most of them which will be lame.
Just use the money to make The Last Guardian come faster Goddamit !
All These Video game movies should be either done by zack Schneider or guillermo del toro :)
