There's a dead or alive movie?

GameTavern2920d ago

The movie isn't half-bad. It's cheesy, but entertaining.

JasonKCK2920d ago

imo the best video game movies are movies influenced by video games but not actually based on video games. Grandma's Boy, 300, and Hardcore Henry are some examples.

"And to think of it more broadly, Uwe Boll has been responsible for 9 video game movies-to-date, which is approximately 25% of the total output in the medium."

Lmao naaawwww.. Doesn't sound legit. postal was alright. Same with mk and Mario. I can camp out tho.. I like a good shitty movie.

True story
He directed House of the Dead, Postal, Bloodrayne, Bloodrayne 3, In the Name of the King, Alone in the Dark and Far Cry.
He produced all of those, but also Bloodrayne 2 and Alone in the Dark 2. Oh guess he produced In the Name of the King 2 as well so actually involved with 10 movies!

Oh to date there's only been 33 theatrical video game movies. The number balloons if you include DTVs and like Japanese/foreign language flicks.

I can dig it. it's the 25% that sounds unbelievable lol.

Easy not enough developpers to add content to the game (palworld)

Profchaos4d ago

That's the thing with gaming there's always new experiences to have why spend months or years playing a single game when there's a new experience right around the corner.

Indie or AAA if your building your game expecting long term player counts you'll probably be disappointed as gamers often enjoy something for a few weeks and move on only to return if it's truely a classic.

Out of all the generations I've experienced there's games from 30 plus years ago I still dust off and play like super Mario bros, earthbound, vice city and san Andreas being games I treasure and revisit every few years but I'm not going back to play a game designed to keep me engaged for months on end because it's also designed to milk my wallet in most cases.

Build a great game that people love make it playable offline and ask does it matter if the concurrent player count is under 100 a year post launch more often that not it doesn't

P_Bomb4d ago

The price of entry is too high to take chances like I used to. Was looking at V Rising and that ranges from $50-$130 CAD. That’s a lot for an indie imo. By the time it goes on sale, the player count might be dwindling. But that’s the trade-off, I guess.

I’m glad my preference is single player experiences, Indie devs got me covered 👊🏻

Flewid6383d ago

Indie devs dont make multiplayer games?
