I was giving an example of multiple as Gray suggested, not the universe of composers I listen too. And if I listened to just those three I would be listening to the 3 best of my lifetime. On the drive to work I listened to Pino Donaggio. So there is 4. I listened to Steiner Hermann Mancini JHN Roza and a few others in the last week. Oh and Barry too. What is with the edit.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Uwe Boll would disagree! But why is that? What is it about video games that seem to make them impossible to adapt effectively to film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Video games give the player more freedom to guide, shape, and explain the story as it progresses. Video games also get away with very large suspensions of disbelief that gamers overlook. Movies sacrifice that freedom for linearity but usually sacrifice something important along the way. They also over analyze the suspensions of disbelief in a way that does disservice to the source material. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it about video games that seem to make them impossible to adapt effectively to film? They are two forms of storytelling that require different techniques to be effective. More often than not, video game adaptations aren't even made by decent filmmakers to being with. The only hope was the BioShock film that was supposed to be directed by Gore Verbinski that never happened. Now it's The Last Of Us, and only because the game's writers are working on the script for the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more video games based on the Star Wars franchise than I can count here. Some of them serve only to retell the story of a single movie, but the truly excellent games are more ambitious, they take the movie concepts and tell their own story. The classic TIE Fighter and Knights of the Old Republic come to mind. But cheap movie tie-in cash grabs aren't always worth your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, which I never frankly understood. The allure is playing in these historical contexts, so I don't know why they bother with the convoluted modern day bookends to the actual gameplay, and instead just focus on telling good stories that occur in the time period.
