I guess video game to movie/tv show adaptations is having a second wind in life.
After Fallout I guess there every gaming tv show/movie has a chance now.
They're making a Watch Dogs movie when the game series is now ended according to leaks? No new game in development after Watch Dogs Legion flopped supposedly, according to recent leaks. Odd move by Ubisoft, unless they are hoping that the movie is a success that stirs enough interest in the game series for them to make a 4th game.
It is kind of odd but the first game IMO did have a good story that could translate well to film. Maybe if it does well they'll bring back Aiden.
I hope it does well so we can get another game in the series.
I am with you on that.
It's another way to use the IP but the thing is will it have tough competition? I get Mr Robot or others have existed of hacking or other types of ways to portray these sorts of themes and scenarios.
But because those exist (or whatever else has come out I don't know about and don't follow) will people have certain expectations or if the movie staff really do good on the IP to spin it up well?
I mean Prince of Persia happened, Assassin's Creed happened, a Rayman tv show. Ubisoft is trying I'll give them that they are really trying with their IPs. Would a Splintercell movie be worth it I'm not sure. Got into Conviction and have to start Chaos Theory (new to the series) and I think they are great even as not into stealth but found them even if not as particular as Metal Gear more playable for me to understand the genre at least besides SWAT Target Liberty and similar under the door mechanic.
I do wonder how it would go and if it works for those audiences not just the IP being fair at it's story telling (not that I know enough about them).
Legion I thought it's concept was cool and ok execution at least. Didn't play 1 (had it, tried it, sold it for something else early on for PS4/Xbox One era) & 2 never seen a copy or experienced but know bits about from research.
Ubisoft way late on the movie gaming trend, is using a near dead franchise to attempt to make them movie money because their declining games are not making money. Signs of a desperate dying company. Gullimont is Ubisofts own internal reaper.
I hear you especially with assasin's creed now going int with remakes.
