On the latest Random Encounters, we’re finally asking the question: will there ever be a good video game movie?
Despite some noble attempts, such as the Silent Hill adaptation and Square’s Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, there has yet to be a single good or great video game movie–which begs the question of why?
Mike and John delve into the troubling history of video game movies like Mortal Kombat, House of the Dead, Resident Evil, and Hitman, while musing and elaborating on why so many have failed, and how Hollywood might finally succeed at breaking the mold with these digital adaptations.
But first, the gents chat a bit about the highly experimental game, Cibele, and how God of War III concluded the series with a narrative thud.
