Where are those games from movies?

Bye!

Hi!

What?

The problem with most video game tie-in movies is that they are rushed shovelware at best. They don't exist anymore, because they aren't expected to sell well, because people expect them to be shit and therefore ignore them.

Exceptions to the rule are those games that tie in to a movie franchise, but were not released to coincide with a movie release (ie. Ghostbusters: The videogame, or Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay). Those have much higher chances to be good.

Films are linear, games are not. Under incredibly rushed timelines, it usually doesn't translate well.

Alien: Isolation was great, as was Mad Max. There might be fewer now but at least they're good quality

The best game that was inspired by a movie is absolutely without a single doubt, Scarface: The World is Yours = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg35HWmgWxY what if Tony didnt die? What if he survived, lost everything, and goes trough hell of getting it all back and then some? Best game, i still havent watched the movie though....and it hurts me to hear that there was supposed to be a game sequel where Tony goes to Las Vegas...but...you know...fucking Activision or whatever owns it, fuck them....
Altough actualy, the second best game, or actualy THE best game inspired by a movie, is The Godfather Game = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtOYUQsYIbQ god, you gotta love the cutscenes, the voice acting, the characters, the proggresive story, the satisfying gameplay, just loved all the things you could do with the enemies, toss them around, execute them in various ways, strangle them, bust their kneecaps or elbows, talk to targets before eliminating them which i bet no other person has done in the world before me or after me, the rpg element, the customizations, the music, the extortions, .... i just so wish it was longer, and had that third game...and the second game was longer because thats even shorter i think maybe but so much better, gotta love those executions man...
Man.....its a huge shame there wasnt a movie that inspired Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven

They still exist, but digital copies need to be bought before the license agreement expires.
Last one ive played was s shitty tie in for a shitty horror movie Don't Knock Twice. My question is what kind of beast only knocks once!

the biggest problem is that games are considered secondary to the movie which is weird considering that blockbuster games generate the kind of revenue that blockbuster movies can only dream of
So what would happen is that the game is expected to adhere to the movie, and any last-minute changes to the movie ought to be incorporated into the game. That was fine when games were simple - back in the '80s and '90s a development team consisted of only a handful of people. But now that games are big-budget, it's much harder to make the game conform to the movie, without the movie studio needing to worry about spoilers, and the games can't quickly make the kind of last-minute changes movies often make.
On top of that, it's much harder to match the release dates than it used to be.

There are some interviews from a few years ago you can google, where developers talk about the difficulties they had with movie tie-ins and why they don't do them anymore.

TL:DR movie tie-ins can no longer get away with being nothing like the movie, yet it's impractical to match the script and still meet a release date close to the movie's release.

Don't really care all that much if at all since the majority of games based on movies suck, and vice-versa.

Nanabanana's comment above pretty much echoes my sentiments on the matter

movies keep trying to get ideas from other media, firs tit was books and now they have to leech games. ┐(ツ)┌

at least they stopped with the terrible movie-to-game adaptations, only a handful were decent enough to be played.
