*sigh* Must Hollywood spoil all my childhood memories? I didn't ever want to see the Castlevania franchise hit the big screen; it should always remain a video game.

oh for fucks sake.

and its the same prick who made the abominations - resident evil - and - avp.

i wonder what will be made next.... c+c? unreal tournament? pong?

Haha I don't know how they would make a movie out of Unreal Tournament. Pong, I could see it being some movie about a Pong tournament. Something like Rocky only to do with Pong.

sigh......figures

i'll prolly go see it though....but i'm sure i'll cry......

but um, hasn't Castlevania also hit the comic-book market as well? i seem to remember seein' it at a comic book store....

I'm still waiting for "Pitfall: The Movie." That'll be boss.

Maybe this is just all karmic backlash for all the good movies that have been turned into crappy video games?

It would probably be alright if it was being produced by a much and more seious and professional like director.

Mortal Combat sucked ass as did predator vs alien.

So when they do create Castlevania the movie they best to it correctly- Or I'm going to be one pissed mothafucker and throw a nice surprise in their mailbox.

Am I the only person who liked AvP? Yeah, it was campy, yeah it would have been better with an R rating... but I thought it was awesome nonetheless. I wasn't going in expecting Citizen Kane... its a videogame movie for fuck's sake.

I'm a huge fan of Castlevania- I adore it.

atleast Uwe Boll isn't directing it...then again Paul W.S. Anderson isn't too far behind him.

they'll probably scrape something out of the "fight to survive" story thing.

"in the future, theres noone out there you can trust, just you, and your gun.

fight for glory, fight to win, fight to live"

and some shit like that.

Well Doom is out soon, so I wouldn't rule out Unreal or even Half-Life if Doom makes any money...

Oh man..not Castlevania! Nothing is sacred.

Unreal Tournament would make me sad. I love that game..

So it's come to this. Originality is gone. All the directors must now use someone else's idea to make a movie.

You know that doesn't sound half bad. The idea of fight to survive. Just not have it have the title of a video game and don't base it on one.

yeah, it's called Battle Royale

there's a new game out now, called bet on soldier. it's a great game, the way it works is there are two sides, two enemies, kinda like armies. and theyre at war with eachother. like a planetary war.

but the whole thing is televised.

when you're fighting your way through the war, you get to a few "arenas" on the way, and you get to choose to fight a champion in each before you start the mission - when you're choosing your arms and such before the mission starts.

this bit is the big bet on soldier thing, its timed, and you have to kill the other guy before time runs out, and the sooner you kill him, the more money you get. also each guy along the way you kill gets you money, more stylish kills get you bonuses and you use your money to buy and upgrade and fix and reload your guns and armour and if you use one, a shield.

there's also a big storyline behind it, the guy you're playing as was a normal soldier kinda guy, not one of the bet on soldier champions. one night a bunch of men came to his house and murdered his family. he wants to know why. and there's also deeper plot with some kind of organisation... a special group... but i wont go deep into it.

its kinda hard to explain, i havent played it much, and there aren't many online servers since it's new and demanding on your machine. the story is good, plus the way several aspects of games work together. kinda like out for revenge soldier dressed up like master chief fighting a war meets medal of honor and unreal tournament. its fun.and hard.

you do really need a very good processor, (an amd 64 3200 perhaps, or an athlon or sempron with a high l2 cache) at least a G of ddr 3200 or better and a 256MB 8 or more pixel pipeline graphics card to run it.

battle royale seems a little different though, similar, but the reasons behind it are kinda different to the whole UT / BOS stuff.

i can see this idea being put into a movie, just hope they get their own title and plotline.

that is a cool movie- so cool- we bought it.
