For COD you just make a standard war movie the same way you normally would but use "Call of Duty" as the title, simple For TLOU/Uncharted... they aren't "basically movies", and it's pretty insulting to both the devs and the fans of those games to suggest so. And as for why they'd make movies for them, well there's a whole load of people that like watching movies but wouldn't ever play a game... and to those potential customers the fans of the games who are very likely to watch the movie and you have yourself a nice potential audience. |
Most cinematic games are pretty easy to turn into movies. They have a clear story outside of gameplay, they have editing and pacing similar to a film, and most of them already use some form of motion capture to bring the actor's moves into the game. From there to an actual motion picture is not that difficult. Fans of the games will feel like they've seen that before, because they don't add anything that the games can't already offer, and people who don't really play games won't know these films exist anymore than the rest of the cinema offerings because, well, they don't play games. They won't even know it's based of a game, and that might even hurt their perception of the product. Video game movies don't have the best track record, after all.
