6 Films That Continued In Video Games

Hollywood loves to make sequels, taking something that has been successful and expanding it into another instalment is not only simpler than making something new, it is also more likely to be a success due to brand recognition.

Nice. I can also think of "The Thing", that continued the story of the classic Carpenter's movie.

So love the Ghostbusters game the PS2 version and the Wii version were different but it was also fun to play. I own the game on 360, PS3 and PS2 it was the sequel we needed for Ghostbusters 3. Still way better then that all female cast Ghostbuster remake dumpster fire.

F-Zero GX was (is) so so SO good. Would love to see that a proper remaster. Already looked stunning back then, and played so smooth. Gamecube controllers were good as well. I think mine all still work flawlessly.

Never played Skies of Arcadia, but would love to some day.

Power Stone 1/2 deserves a comeback.

PhillyDillyDee290d ago

I would lose it if they did something, ANYTHING, with F-Zero…

Deffo Luigi’s Mansion

I doubt it but it would be awesome to have new modes when going through it again similar to the Mirror Mode

cthulhucultist291d ago (Edited 291d ago )

They should release a collection of 1 and 2 together as remastered (although I would prefer a remake).

Luigis Mansion 3 was amazing

Mario Kart: Double Dash - SSX Tricky - Star Fox Adventures - Tony Hawk's American Wasteland - Sonic Adventure 2 - Pokémon Colosseum

Becuzisaid291d ago

You pick Star Fox Adventures but not Rogue Squadron 2 or 3??

I'll take some Star Fox though. Would rather then remaster Zero instead. Just stop the motion controls.

DaReapa291d ago

I haven't owned a Nintendo console since the GameCube, but if they were to do a quality remaster of Eternal Darkness, I'd get a Switch in a heartbeat...even if only for that game.

cthulhucultist291d ago

Excellent choice - that would be my pick as well

Nitrox291d ago

I’d like to see a full remake rather than a remaster of this one. It would benefit so much from a more modern control and camera setup. It felt a little cringey to me when I tried playing through a couple years ago.

By far my favorite game during that era though and my #1 pick as well to see brought up to date!

RaiderNation291d ago (Edited 291d ago )

NO!!

No more remasters! I want NEW iterations of Nintendo IP, not rehashes! Give me a NEW Mario Kart, give me a NEW F-Zero, give me a NEW Metroid Prime, give me a new Waverace, etc!!!

Neonridr291d ago

but we are getting a new Metroid Prime. What's the harm in having some classics remastered to help fill in some gaps?

RaiderNation291d ago (Edited 291d ago )

Because Nintendo struggles at being prolific with putting out 1st party games as it is! I dont want their seemingly limited resources being tied up with remastering old titles. I want new stuff. I cant believe we are 6 years in with the Switch and still, no new Donkey Kong, no new Punch Out, no new F-Zero, no new Waverace, no new Mario Kart, no new Star Fox, no new Kid Icarus, no new Metroid Prime, no new Earthbound, and only one new Mario game! ONE new Mario in 6 years (well two I guess if you count Mario Maker 2 bur I consider that a rehash). And they have a freaking movie coming out this year, with no game tie in! What has happened to Nintendo?? I remember between 2006 and 2015, we got nine new Mario games! In six years with Switch, one! But by God they'll flood us with a hundred Pokémon games, farm sims, and cell shaded anime junk!

Neonridr291d ago (Edited 291d ago )

@RaiderNation this is where 3rd party studios can come in though. Plenty of skilled studios that could handle something like a remaster since the game itself isn't being changed.

Good Mario games take time to make. How many 3D Mario titles did we get on the Wii? Galaxy and Galaxy 2? Wii U we got Mario 3D World. The "New Super Mario Bros" games were just filler in my opinion.

Nintendo doesn't make Pokemon titles, Game Freak does. And what does cel-shaded graphics have anything to do with the quality of a game? Are you 15 or something where only 4K photorealistic graphics make it possible to enjoy a title?

RaiderNation291d ago (Edited 291d ago )

@Neonridr

No I am far from 15 lol. Cell shading is fine once in a while. Its a graphical style that can look beautiful if done correctly. But I feel there's been an over reliance on it with Switch, (no doubt to help counter the weak performance of the hardware). Its like anime. After you see so much of it, it all kind of starts looking the same.

"Good Mario games take time to make"

You're right and I didnt realistically expect 9 Mario games in 6 years on Switch. I just pointed that statistic out to show how huge of a drop off it has become. Mario Odyssey was great...six years ago! Wheres the new one? Yes they take time but...six years?? Come on! Hideo Kojima made Death Stranding in 3 years with infinitely more complexity! And to not have a new Mario game ready to coincide with the release of the movie?? That seems like a misstep. What the hell have they been doing the last 6 years?? Have they ALL been working on just Zelda???

No, thanks. They need to make a new game instead. They could do alot more with the advanced tech.

jambola313d ago

You know they could do both right?
It's not like it's some rule they could only do one or the other ?

VenomUK313d ago

The Simpsons Hit & Run already has an unofficial remake made by a developer Reubs who has done it for fun.
The publisher should just get together with him. It would save them time and money and give him a financial reward for helping bring back the hype for what is one of the best GTA style games.

Orchard313d ago

We’ve been asking for this forever and while I would love it, I doubt we’ll get it.

Chuck it onto the “needs a remake” list alongside MGS etc.

Profchaos313d ago

I'd love it but it's in licensing hell by all accounts. Seems rights are tied up everywhere including now defunct companies.
