Why Every Video Game Is Becoming A Movie

Video Game Adaptations, from Video Game Movies and Video Game TV Shows it seems to be popping up everywhere. From The Last of Us, Super Mario Movie, Halo, The Witcher, Sonic and many more. Video game adaptations used to be cursed for box office failure but now they seem like an great path to success. What changed?

Gamers are a passionate bunch. You really can’t go for a quick cash grab with these movies and expect the target audience to enjoy it. You have to get it just right

[@RaisedMedia]

Too true! Gamers are very passionate about the IP, it's a risky gamble but pays off big time if you can get it right!

[@braethenerd5109]

Absolutely

Telltale twd season 1 needs a movie or show so badly imagine if they put in the scene where lee fights the horde with the gauntlet

I know this is a weird question, but do you have a comment bot set up? The responses to comments under your videos are very convincing, but sometimes a little off. But hey, props to you either way. That takes a lot of dedication and your videos are great.

[@RaisedMedia]

Haha no comment bot!

[@goldenbanana7250]

​@RAISED if you are using one, just remember that comments no longer boost videos because of those spam bots promoting scams and the such.

What’s the chiptune music in the background?

[@RaisedMedia]

I couldn’t tell you unfortunately. All background music is sourced from epidemic sound and Audio jungle. The names of each song I sadly do not recall.

Roger Ebert may be a good movie critic but he missed the mark by failing to see video games could be art. I wonder what he would have said if he was still alive, would he back track and concede that it is an art form or double down?

[@bigduke5902]

The art OF video games is in level design and how the gameplay communicates to the player. The art IN video games is the graphics, music, narrative, and presentation. Eberts original argument didn't really understand the former, but almost everyone I'd ever seen refute him cited examples of the latter.

The part you mentioned why the Mario Live Action Movie failed because of a bad story is where I completely disagree with you,The movie itself was completely terrible and should've never been a live action adaptation in the first place

[@gujono.eiriksson8553]

"should've never been a live action adaptation in the first place," this argument seems to be based on nothing but fancy. Are you basing it on anything?
