Hope they do the weed burning Skrillex mission

[–] benignintervention@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Been a staple of my playlist for damn near a decade

Please, no one tell Hollywood about No Man’s Sky, Dwarf Fortess, Portal or Subnautica.

I assume there is a 99% chance of a Cyberpunk 2077 and/or Red Dead Redemption movie/series in the next 5 years.

MMOs are probably safe after the Warcraft movie. Thanks for taking that one, WoW players.

Cyberpunk already does with their Edgerunners anime on Netflix

[–] simple@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

it was really good and getting a second season too

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

Good and soul crushing.

The only thing I watched that was that well made and emotionally damaging was the bicycle thief.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The whole western is also overdone now too. It wouldn’t stand out if they made one based on the story. The story isn’t that unique either.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

A Portal movie with more then two characters would just be Cube.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why?

Why do you have your testicular torsion over video games getting adaptations?

I keep praying to Zeus for a red dead show... it's perfect for tv i wish they'd do it

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can't believe he changed his last name to Mac. 🤦‍♂️

[–] TammyTobacco@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

It seems so unnecessary since he already had so much name recognition.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Which far cry though, isn’t every game different?

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They're all the same general concept... just different characters. Guy ends up somewhere, reluctantly becomes a hero and saves the area from the bad guys by killing everything that moves.

I enjoyed the first couple games as the mechanics evolved, but after awhile they started feeling kinda stale. (at least in my opinion.)

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

First was the best. Downhill from there. Just my opinion, really. The follow ups just used the name and not the premise.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Idk, the one with the cult was pretty solid. A bit on the nose, but I can’t imagine them being able to release that plot on a tv show currently

[–] DampSquid@feddit.uk 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The exception being Blood Dragon, far and away the best one

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I stopped after the second one. The only thing I liked about it was the stealth and lighting the grass on fire.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

fucking malaria all the time

[–] Feyd@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Didn't they even change genres? It's been a long time since I thought about far cry but iirc the first one is a pretty neat linear sci fi shooter and the rest are mundane current world ubisoft map slop?

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That’s a bingo!

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Sure. But no.

It is an FPS. Here is a setting, here is some gear N shit, now go fight!

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

It's supposed to be an anthology series so they'll probably do one game a season

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have a bad feeling about this.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, we already got a Far Cry movie by Uwe Boll what could a series possibly do better?
