Speaking as someone who isn't a fan of either series. I got Gears 2 as a present, and have never played it. I can say I think it really renders down to which directer treats their subject matter with real reverence, and not winks and nods to the fans. Comedy is a temptation and it is the quickest path to damnation. These film adaptations need to honor the game as much as possible, but not at the expense of making something that stands on its own two feet.

That said I would go with Gears of War. Underworld may have been deadpanned by many a critic. However what cannot be denied was it actually had a real story arc, and it was treated in a very serious matter. In fact the director has my utmost respect for not falling back on cliches when it came to subject matter. The Vampires weren't blood whore sex objects, and then on the other side the Werewolves weren't vicious animals terrorizing some small group of people.

I think its all about who will treat it serious enough to dare to make a game into a great movie. Rather then make a movie that just panders to those that play the games. For that you need a strong creative center. Who is not going to get cornered in by conventions. Guess which one of those directors that applies to.

There are, but if you play the game you'll see that they're extremely secondary to everything else.

@disolitude: there's a Double Dragon movie? XD

If you put it that way, God of War will work!

Well i can't say i like xmen the last stand. I thought it was by far the worst xmen and it ruined the series.


Rush hour 1 is pretty nice ... rush hour 2.. is .. err.. alright.. same with rush hour 3.'''

Jackie Chans done a lot of better movies though.

God of War has the best concept and the most base for a cinema movie though.. both with the way the game is built and with the massive bakground and integration with the greek mythologies they can pull from.

lol.. and what happened to nightcrawler ?

it all depends on the actors and the the way to tell the story

god of war will be different.
while it maintains the gore and the style of the game.

gears if doesn't turn to be the average GI JOE space marines movies it can be kinda cool

Can I vote for Uncharted instead? I tink Gears and God will both be pretty standard VG adaptation fare. It's entirely possible that Uncharted will be too, but I like the Uncharted screenplay as it plays out in the game better than I liked the God story; and I liked the God story. I haven't a clue about Gears as I've never played it. It will need to have a story like no other shooter game has ever had to be worthy of being called a good movie.

Resident Evil movies were mediocre. Fun yes, but not great cinema by any stretch of the imagination.

Fuck yeah, there is. Starring Scott Wolf!

I don't know, I think an Uncharted or inFamous movie could beat them both.
Anyway, both of them are going to need a shitload of special effects.

AHHH!! AHH!! OH GOD, MY EYES!! O_O
