The one question that fans have consistently asked IGN ever since the news broke that Konami and Sony Pictures were teaming to turn the videogame Metal Gear Solid into a feature film is whether screenwriter-actor David Hayter would be involved with the project. Hayter voiced the game's protagonist, Solid Snake.
Now IGN can exclusively report that Hayter will not be a part of the film.
An insider who has read Hayter's treatment advised IGN that his take was "Metal Gear as the Apocalypse Now of the digital age, with Snake at the center of a swirling whirlpool of Genomic/military madness."
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
sadly it will probably suck.
The gears of war film will probably suck as well.
too bad.
btw Wasn't there supposed to be a splinter cell movie coming out soon?
in the same level of Dead or Alive movie or Uwe Boll....
Why do most game movies sucks, because they were originally ment for playing. There was not much story to these games, so when making a movie about a game, the studios have to make up a story around it.
It sucks horribly because fans of the game don't see the story of their game and casual people see it as a gimmick B movie.
BUT, certain games have one hell of a story. When I first played MGS I thought it was more of a movie then a game (the gameplay was incredible btw). Now if they can adapt that story correctly into a Hollywood movie then you have a succes.
So let's hope for the best. And don't forget, Hideo is closely involved. He won't let his master creation be screwed up.
And works with a talented movie director. Same thing with the god of war movie.
Why does anyone even report games to movies? I know it's part of the industry but since when has a game to movie EVER been good? If anything we should boycott them so they actually start producing good game/movies.
