I meant the Paramount+ series

Tv series

Battlefield 1 stories are cooler, goofy

battle field sounds generic as hell as a non gamer

Also I'm just really struggling to see what warrants live-action adaptations for Call of Duty and Battlefield that wouldn't just come across as any other generic war movie

It's a nothing name

War movie with IP attached to it essentially

I feel that way about the seemingly genuine excitement for Red Dead Redemption, Sleeping Dogs or Ghost of Tsushima movie adaptations. Those games are novel because they play with stylistic, formal and narrative genre tropes that were built in movies. The gameplay is the foundation to carry you through the story but the story arcs and stylistic trademarks of these games are ripped straight from movies. And in a way that kicks ass. They’re awesome for it.

The idea of taking what are an awesome blending of a bunch of movie tropes, translating it into awesome games, and then translating them back into movies feels like a recipe for a really bland and generic movie. These aren’t meant to be movies. If they were movies they’d be the most regular and normal films of all time.

Uncharted is beloved for being an adventure movie/Indiana Jones style pastiche. Turning that back into a movie lead to an absolutely nothing movie

I think those are a little different though because they all have beloved/iconic characters and story arcs that are associated with them. Call of Duty and Battlefield don't really have that. The allure of those two franchises is the experience of playing fun combat in a fictional war setting. There's nothing stylistically or story-wise that really makes them stand out.

Red Dead, Sleeping Dogs, and Ghost all have recognizable characters and narrative arcs that would easily lend to a live-action adaptation, and Uncharted has one of the most iconic/charismatic video game characters of all time

War movies been s*** recently . Call of duty and battlefield have a lot they can do . Jarhead goated

Fr..bro won an Oscar and said it's time to make that franchise money

The thing with video game adaptations is that there needs to be at least one of two things to warrant its' existence:

1. Iconic/strong characters (Mario, Sonic, Uncharted, Mortal Kombat, etc.)

2. A strong story and/or world filled with lore (God of War, The Last of Us, Resident Evil, Elden Ring, etc.)

If a game franchise is mostly only known for its gameplay and doesn't really have either of these things, then making a film adaptation of it just feels like you're taking the generic genre of the franchise and slapping IP on it to get butts in seats (example: the Need for Speed movie)

HUH

like... just make a war movie...

They forgot how to do that without an IP attached to it

how’s this news this is how he operates

f***ing shameful

I guess it's just a little upsetting to see him win Best Actor for an original work and then his next handful of projects lined up are all sequels, remakes, or IP franchises

We’re in the video game movie era

Thread reminded me that they’re making a Sims movie

that’s gonna do numbers

ah I see

Facts

?

I don’t think I remember a single campaign from Battlefield lol.
Keep

that s*** was ass. The AI was terrible
