Koby Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I might sound a bit odd, but I don't think any game should be made into an anime or movie. Why? The game already tells the story, show graphics, play sounds and music, and most games that come out have some kind of acting. The player gets to experience all these things and has gameplay features as a bonus.I wouldn't care much for the exact story being switched over, but heck they do that with everything. Books, Comics, Light Novels, etc... all get turned into anime and people bitch when they don't follow the source exactly.I'm not saying I wouldn't want some games turned into anime. I'd actually like it. I'm just saying, I'd rather see a new plot when it happens. Take for example Resident Evil. It has 2 CG anime movies, but rather than simply take one of the games and turn it into the movie, they've came up with a new plot that ties into the games. Such as the first one being set like 6 months after the evens of the fourth game. Now something like that I'd be completely interested in seeing more games done that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

†L4ugh Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I think Panzer Dragoon would make an awesome anime. I always thought MechWarrior would make a good anime. Aquanox, it's under water and has submarine combat. That's enough for me. Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit, totally sucked as a game but could make a good anime if done right. Not sure if Oni has an anime or not, but it kind of reminded me of a cross between Armitage and Ghost in the Shell. It could also be good if done right, but would probably be redundant. Serious Sam could also be a good one if it was done in a similar way to Desert Punk. I haven't really been all that impressed with most of the newer games, except for Portal. I don't think it would make a good anime, but I'd watch if it ever happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†Emotional Outlet Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 To weigh in on the discussion about whether adaptations are a good idea or not--there are certain things that can be done in each medium that can't necessarily be achieved in another. Switching viewpoints is easier and more seamless in a non-interactive medium like a movie or show. If you switched halfway through Portal to play as GLaDOS, it'd feel pretty weird to suddenly have to work against Chell. And then to switch back and continue working against GLaDOS? What would the point even be? I'd feel conflicted as hell--if I could, I would throw as much of the game as I could while playing as GLaDOS. In an adaptation, though, it wouldn't be weird or jarring to spend some time with GLaDOS. You could get information about what happened from GLaDOS's point of view, things that Chell couldn't possibly see. You can still cheer for Chell and want her to succeed, but another layer of depth is added because the audience now has some insight from GLaDOS and other sources. So like with Dangan Ronpa, which is a game that is getting an anime adaptation, you spend the whole game viewing events from Naegi's viewpoint. There are definitely things that happen in game I would have loved to see, but these are things that wouldn't make sense for Naegi to have been a part of. It would have been jarring for the game to switch around perspectives. But an anime can easily do that. It can fill in the blanks where Naegi wasn't around because the audience is no longer an active participant and maintaining a single viewpoint isn't as important for immersion. Anime can create and maintain immersion through other means. I'm not disagreeing that a video game can convey a story successfully, because they definitely do. It's just people have certain expectations for a game that don't carry over to other media like movies and anime, and vice versa. If you want to explore different aspects of a story, one medium may be more effective than the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kora Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I am hoping that they make an Ace Attorney film just like they did with Professor Layton. That was a great movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTJG RIO Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 An MMO version of Soul Eater where you could choose to be a weapon or Miester would be pretty sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I can imagine it being the cause of a lot of fights, ahah. xDI wouldn't mind a Kingdom game. Would be quite fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Angel13 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'd love a SAO game that was actually an mmo like the anime. I know there's a psp game but that's not enough! I'd also love for the nervegear stuff to be real, WoW would be a totally new experience with that stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably never happen but if it did, I still can't decide if I would want to be the weapon or the Meister wielding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DraconicHart Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Chrome Shelled Regios could be made into a very good game if done correctly.The story could take place in Zuelni, and over the course of the game you get the run of more and more of the city and its borders.

frozenavaox Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I don't think the gaming industry supports the anime industry very well. You never see people just think up an anime game and make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many i would get but wouldn't some of them just turn into dating sims. Clannad for example would more than likely be one. Your actions would determine who you end up with that might be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTJG RIO Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 So today I was reminiscing about Outlaw Star and how totally cool the Starship battles were in the show and it got me thinking. "Could you take this universe and make it into a customizable Starship game." Now I don't know a lot about computers but I just thought it would be cool to have a game where you could make your own grappler ship and crew kind of like EVE online. But it would have the playability of HAWX. I love thinking about the possibilities but, it's always kind of a downer when I realize a game like that will never exist. Oh well, just another idea I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Catherine could easily be adapted into an anime series or even just a measly OVA. Should it be done? That’s probably something best left for the creators to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kageshiro Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Anybody ever thought about Grnadia being an anime. With all of the subtle anime elements in it already, I think with the right team it could really come together. I realize that it would be a huge challenge. And probably cost a lot of money. So, what're your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†Emotional Outlet Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I don't know that I would watch a Catherine anime or OVA. That would mean they'd have to pick one ending as "canon", and I can see a lot of uproar about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTJG RIO Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I was just thinking a Fullmetal Alchemist MMO where you could create your own alchemist would be sweet. You can start off as just a simple soldier for Amestris and then learn alchemy and get a state title. Then like in Old Republic you could just pick your own title and specialize in one or two kinds of alchemy flame, health, weapons etc. Just another thought from the noggin but, ya know whatever.
