Many video game fans would love to see their favorite franchises cross over onto television or the big screen, but the past has been mixed for these types of adaptations. The 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie was a critical and financial success, but the Resident Evil films have been met with mixed reactions from fans and critics. ..

Despite Hollywood’s recent successes, there are still many people who believe that Hollywood is getting it wrong. One example is the Detective Pikachu movie, which was produced by one of Canada’s most successful exports, Ryan Reynolds, and the Sonic the Hedgehog Movie, which featured Jim Carrey after four years of absence from the big screen. ..

According to our survey, the majority of FandomSpot members want adaptations of games like “The Witcher” and “Fallout 4.” In fact, nearly half of respondents said they would love to see a game adaptation of the popular “Call of Duty” series. Interestingly, we also found that many FandomSpot members are not interested in movies based on video games. Only about one-third of respondents said they would be interested in seeing a movie adaptation of a game that is not a traditional console title. So what do you think?

1. The Legend of Zelda

Link is an elf who has been around for over 30 years and has sold over 52 million copies across original titles, remakes and ports. He is known for his role as the protagonist of the video game series ‘Zelda’.

With the game series being a household name amongst even the most casual gamers, it’s no surprise that the massive following would want to see a film adaptation. The question is, can this film be successful enough to warrant a sequel?

2. Grand Theft Auto

GTA is a popular video game franchise that contains all the key components of an action-packed blockbuster. These include guns, explosions, car chases, and more. ..

A film would help fill the gap after nine years since the last installment, and it would be set in a new world that is still waiting to be explored.

3. Horizon: Zero Dawn

Horizon: Zero Dawn is a perfect survival sci-fi film about the remaining tribes of humanity surviving this mystical unknown world. Set in a dystopian future where nature meets technology and where robot dinosaurs roam a jungle-overgrown America, Horizon: Zero Dawn sets the scene for an exciting adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With stunning visuals and an intriguing story line, this game is sure to captivate audiences worldwide. ..

4. God of War

The God of War series is one of the most popular video games in history, and is in a perfect position to make the jump to the big screen. The series has been praised for its unique and exciting gameplay, and is sure to please fans of all ages.

With the success of Marvel’s Thor and TV shows like Spartacus and Game of Thrones, the God of War series has the potential to explore mythologies from across the world. ..

5. Hollow Knight

This movie adaptation might take a zoomed-in look into the insects’ world, following an unnamed protagonist who must explore the world he has found himself in and save the kingdom of Hallownest.

6. Animal Crossing

The game “Madden NFL 15” is one of the highest-selling games during the pandemic. People are interested in seeing this game in movie form.

Animal Crossing is a game that takes place in a world filled with exploration. You’ll make many friends along the way, and together you’ll explore the many areas of the game. The friendships you make will be important in helping you get through life’s challenges.

7. Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy XV is a live-action film following the story of Noctis and his friends, Prompto and Ignis, as they travel across the world in search of a way to save their home. The film is set within the game’s world and follows familiar plotlines but with a fresh take on the genre. Similar to Spider-Man: No Way Home, it could pay homage to those that came before by having callbacks and references to video games.

8. Fallout

Fallout would be a post-apocalyptic survival movie in a world filled with what’s left of humanity, and what has grown from the radioactive world left behind.

9. Super Mario

Super Mario movies have a massive archive of games to draw from, so any new movie could go anywhere. The 1993 movie, which was met with negative reception, could use a remake done right to improve its reputation. ..

10. Red Dead Redemption

In a world where the cowboy is gone, and the only way to experience the classic Western style is through video games or movies, a new take on the genre would be perfect. A RDR film that could take so many angles, like an origin story for the characters, a sequel carrying on the story, or even a retold version looking at the greatest moments of the Red Dead series.

The games featured here were all released in 2018 and we wanted to see what would happen if they were adapted for the big screen. Here are three examples of how adaptations could be made:

  1. “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” - This game was released in 2009 and is considered a classic. It could be turned into a movie where the protagonist is a soldier who has to fight against insurgents in Afghanistan.
  2. “Fallout 4” - This game was released in 2014 and follows the story of Vault Dwellers, who must escape from Vault 111 after it’s destroyed by an attack. It could be turned into a movie where the player has to explore different Vaults and find items that will help them escape.
  3. “Destiny 2” - This game was released in 2016 and follows the story of Guardians who must save the world from an evil being called The Taken King. It could be turned into a movie where the player has to explore different areas and defeat enemies to progress.
