i seem to be alone in this but I thought the second half of season 4 was pretty bad, it just felt super rushed and although there were some decent aspects of how it ended I thought it missed the mark bad.

Movie-worthy games: Hotline Miami Dead Space Alan Wake Red Dead Redemption Metroid Legend of Zelda Nightmare Ned 🤣

seeing as how this novel was written after "Under the Skin" was released, strange how "Annihilation"'s ending is similar to “Under the Skin” wherein a female-imitating alien reveals their true form as a black humanoid creature who is killed with fire; too similar to be mere coincidence. btw, this movie was predictive programming for planned pandemic that was to follow. viruses are being genetically engineered to annihilate humanity by attacking their very genome. Area X is the military base. The Shimmer is the alien-inhabited region. you conflated the two. oy vey.

Cosmc horror to Cosmic Bliss

Barry says "honestly i tried to fix things. I tried to give you that money. $250,000" he never said "i should've"

You said it yourself, this is not a run and guns blazing game.

I loved the last episode. It was Flawless

Why they never adapted the following books ?

I really enjoyed this game. The story was extremely well done but the gameplay could have used some work and the puzzles were a bit confusing sometimes lol but still good overall and i recommend to anyone who likes linear story driven games.

Its like watching a really bad fargo season.

My view on the tattoo leaving thorn son arm To the main protagonists Arm and their being one on the body now a wall mold/fungus in the southern reach base swimming pool I thought of it like, that might have been a relative of thorn son or someone she knew well enough they got matching tattoos on each other. Or the more random fact That man not mold had the tattoo as thorn son but it was a happy accident/clue that just happened to be in the world of area-X?

I've been writing a series thing that takes some inspiration from Hotline Miami (among other things, like Taxi Driver that was mentioned) but it's its own different thing

I feel like a hotline Miami animated series would work better, since the characters and their masks would likely be portrayed poorly in live action. As for a series, since there are so many different characters with their own stories. Having a series with multiple episodes focusing on each characters story and how everything is connected would work way better than a movie since there’s no way you can fit that much information in a singular movie.

I found the ending to be pretty garbage. It seems to me they didn't know what to do with the last season, so they just came up with something fast to make everyone happy. It just feels rushed. But season 1-3 were incredible. Season 4 was meh.

Kaneda's death scene is incredible, worth the whole movie for me

I liked Night Country, but I didn't love it like Season 1. I want to love Night Country, but I'm just okay with it.

I found your channel a couple of days ago and I have loved every single video. Similar to you, I didn’t give this game a chance initially, but I knew it had something special. I watched this video from beginning to end and I really enjoyed your breakdown.

great analysis my friend. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

One of my favorite movies

I came across this movie by chance. I had no idea what it was about. glad I took a chance

Why hasn't Jurassic Park developed a similar themed game?

Signalis music peak

1:15:15 you hear a clattering at the same time Ned coughs so my guess is he was holding the radio, tripped over something in his cave and then accidentally hit the button. Bit contrived but yeah

I wanted fukes to die for three seasons and by the end of the show he was the only one I wanted to live with gaybaldy😊The blonde with a wig really looked like Shannon Dougherty which was a little erotic ;)

This is one of my favorite movies. It introduced me to cosmic horror as a genre and got me hooked on horror films in general when before I mostly watched action movies. Annihilation changed me fr and holy shit the music is so good maybe my favorite soundtrack of any film I’ve seen

I think a anthology series could work too and each episode would focus on a different character and would be made differently depending on how they see the world (similar to the hlm comics by plot) also I never noticed that the nuke beard died in took place before the first game because he was the last one to die in the new game + section of the second game where all the other characters die chronologically of how they did in the game

I have a script being written right now. Have about 70 pages done.

I think the biggest problem with this game is the alien himself. Most preciselly,the director AI. I think it's unfair for the game to let the alien know your position so frequently. The best parts of the game are when the Xenomorphs let the player breath for some time. Having the enemy atached to you all the time ruins the experience a bit

praising violence too much

It pains me to see this played without the TAA mod Alias Isolation. Now that a sequel has been announced, they really should do a remaster of the OG game with better antialiasing which it got in 2019 on the Switch. Just finished another run of Isolation on a Legion Go using the mod at well over 60fps. The visuals still hold up to most modern games thanks to superb art direction.

I’d hope it’d be animated

Honestly, I didn’t like the script. It takes away a lot of the eerie vibes of the game. Making Jacket not be in a coma removes much of the intrigue the games had. As Jacket gets closer to waking up, his memories start bleeding into each other, with the dead bodies of people he’s killed showing up in his everyday life and even talking to him. Moments like Beard referencing how what just happened isn’t real, or Biker lying on the floor with half his head missing, are what give the story its dark, otherworldly vibe. That, along with Richard, is what makes the narrative so unique. Seeing Jacket’s face would feel wrong, hearing him speak would feel weird, and giving him a proper name just feels... off. Jacket is essentially supposed to feel like a force of nature, like Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees. Of course, there’s more to him, but it needs to be shown visually, not verbally. As for the fight choreography, I’ve always imagined something more akin to The Raid or Hardcore Henry.

He was in a lot of scenes it was so subtle but stood out so perfectly

holy shit that was a load of drivel Ignoring you missing the point of both games as well as the style, saying shit like "we're in the best era of video game adaptations" when it's mostly just slop and how you want stuff to be mainstream. In any case your credibility collapsed because you somehow didn't realize edgerunnrs and devilaman had the same director. What a horrendously mid opinions stretched to an hour long drivel

No snark whatsoever: Why not try writing a script and see if someone picks your draft? Keen on seeing that.

it should be a miniseries

a movie? naw. a mini series? going through the story of the tweo games? highly stylistic violence? yes

let the games be games and movies be movies. There's no need for such of videogame adaptations when the source material exist. There are things in between but they're different medias. Just because Hotline Miami has a story doesn't mean it can work as a movie adaptation. They're different experiences with each individual. Making a movie or TV series still doesn't work despite how faithful it gets. They're different types of genres that would not work. The only way it could work is on the anthology site but that's too much effort to do so.

All in le head movie

I’ve been thinking about a Hotline Miami film since I first played the game in 2015, and I had always imagined something with action scenes that start out kinda fun and John Wick-like but by the midpoint of the movie have devolved into a New French Extremity type gruesome nightmare. All of the story bits in between would feel like if David Lynch at his most abstract (Inland Empire/Lost Highway) directed Drive

They won’t make it true to the games ever, we need a true fan to helm the making of it

I started a film school to one day make the Hotline Miami film in a good way, so just wait and see

This game is one of the reasons I got into going to film school.

In the Richter interrogation scene it'd be cool if he says the stuff about his mom and then say "if they sent you, you would've done the same for me." With hazy flashes of the same line from the scene with beard.

The flares are incredibly useful for distracting the alien, and synthetics, who are very susceptible to it, and humans, who sometimes get distracted by them.

I could see them do hotline miami as an anthology tv show. That's maybe 40 minutes of each character. The final episode can lead up to the finale and possibly be a political drama.

It's called "drive"

YES OKEASE

Not a good idea, name one single good video game movie.. I'm 33 so I've been up to date on video games since the Super Nintendo, the Super Mario Bros movie came out before I was even born I'm pretty sure but in my opinion it's good even though it's nothing like the video games😂. The next two video game movies I recall in my childhood were and I don't remember which came first but I was very familiar with both of the game franchises so the Doom movie featuring Keith Urban and Dwayne The Rock Johnson and the Resident Evil movie.. As far as the Doom movie went I didn't think it was terrible but it was not very much like the games at all other than a few poorly done first person sequences and also at the time The Rock was very popular.. even more popular than he was current day 2024 because back then he had just gotten into acting and was mainly known for being a wrestler and even people who did not watch wrestling knew who the rock was.. the advertising campaign for the Doom movie made it seem like The Rock was going to be the main protagonist of the movie in fact it was more Keith Urban I don't want to say too much more even though it's a 20-year-old movie in case anybody here hasn't seen it. It was kind of like the advertising for the movie Kangaroo Jack which came out around the same time. It showed this trailer of a animated kangaroo with a hoodie on and sunglasses that was saying a bunch of witty things with an Australian accent and spoiler alert.. The kangaroo in the movie Kangaroo Jack did not talk at all it was just a normal kangaroo all of the scenes they showed in the commercials with the kangaroo talking wearing sunglasses and a sweatshirt that was literally like a 30-second dream sequence in the movie.. Then the original Resident Evil movie came out and it started off in the Spencer Mansion which tracks with the game and even though it kind of got things a little mixed up it still kept it true enough to where it was a good movie and then the second Resident Evil came out and it started off kind of a blend of Resident Evil 2 and 3 with Nemesis and all that but all of the other Resident Evil movies after that were terrible every other video game movie that has ever released after the movies I've just named has been terrible

get the guys who made The Raid. the action should be intense
