VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "2023 has officially arrived, which means another year of possibilities, opportunities, worries, and most importantly, chances to replay Chop Goblins. But before we officially start looking forward to 2023's slate of titles, let's look back at what 2022 had to offer one last time. Before we begin announcing the site-wide Game of the Year Award winners, we'll kick things off by talking a bit about some of the games that left the greatest impressions on us as writers in 2022."

Hmmm. Alex Garland’s other work is amazing so I’m definitely interested.

senorfartcushion14d ago

I've always found him pretty meh.
He's a very indecisive filmmaker.

Goodguy0115d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Why? These live action adaptations have been oh so terrible lol. I know sonic is successful but I just couldn't enjoy the first movie. You cannot adapt a full game especially a 70+hr rpg into a small 1-2hr movie without many cuts.

But I suppose their goal is to reach more people with these films I guess.

anast14d ago

It all depends on the creative talent in these projects. Last of Us and Fallout are good, but Halo is sad.

InUrFoxHole14d ago

I thought halo was pretty good

Tacoboto14d ago

I understand opinions and all but...

What in the world was pretty good about the Halo series??

FinalFantasyFanatic14d ago

The only video game adaptation that I felt went above and beyond was the Sonic movies, and they almost fumbled the first one, Mario was alright too.

-Foxtrot14d ago

I'll get downvoted to hell for this but despite Jim Carrey as Robotnik I think the films could have been better, they shouldn't have included the real world, they should have stayed on Mobius. Hell I would have rather seen animation since the Sonic Mania / Origin cutscenes were great.

I still think the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA movie is better.

PapaBop14d ago

Usually agree but give Alex Garland a chance, his other movies are amazing, this is clearly a project aiming for a high standard as opposed to just some shameless cash grab.

Tapani14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Agreed, given his track record and in-depth research he puts into each project, not to mention writers and subject matter choices he makes, I would absolutely give Alex Garland a chance. I'm intrigued, and think he has a good chance of making this work.

Pyrofire9514d ago

They'll probably not include the side quests

Same! You can make an argument for each Miyazaki game but this one and Elden Ring always seemed like a god choice for live action (or animated series)

anast13d ago

That's what I'm thinking.

gold_drake14d ago

i meam, theres alot of material there sure but ... most of these enemies are .. non human.

is the movie gonna be mostly cgi? ha.

Just got my self a cheap copy of scarlet looking forward to trying.

Inverno19d ago

Another reason why spawn rates were lowered was because you couldn't go a step without being forced into battles. Also it still looks arse.

gold_drake19d ago

it still looks like a late ps2 game.

and the spawn rate was definitely reduced cause the game ran like arse.
