For the longest time, video game adaptations were the bane of fandoms. Several early big-screen adaptations in the ’90s were seen as cheesy or an attempt at a quick cash grab. Think of movies like the first, and most recently, Amazon Prime’s Fallout. Having found this newfound respect for the medium, here are five video games that could do well as a TV series or movie adaptation.
What makes this game perfect for an adaptation is it already has an established backstory and an extensive cast of characters. All eight characters that star in the game equally have charming traits and interesting tidbits of lore that make them stand out from one another. Imagine seeing them in a movie in the style of either George Romero or Zack Snyder. Maybe if the adaptation is a success, Valve will finally give in and makewith cowboys.
