Like “Minecrat”, there are several games, with different narratives, which could gain an adaptation in theaters; Find out 5 of them!
More and more games have ceased to have their stories introduced only to those who venture to explore the plot while playing through consoles, mobile devices or PC.
It turns out that, in recent times, it has become commonplace to observe the narrative and the universe of various games being adapted to other formats, gaining space in serial TV productions and feature films, such as Minecraft, for example, 2011 game that served as inspiration for “a Minecraft film”, which went on play in Brazilian theaters last Thursday, 03.
With essential elements of the game inserted in an original adventure -filled story, the film follows four maladjusted overworld mysteriously and need to use creativity and teamwork – besides Steve’s help – to save this world and return home. Remember the trailer:

Other examples include “Super Mario Bros. The Movie”, which based on the world of Nintendo Mario games has become the second largest box office of a movie animated in theaters, and the “Sonic” franchise, which featuring characters from Sega games, won the audience and the third movie reached second place on the list of the biggest game movies, as well as the promised live-action “The Legend of the The Legend of The Legend of the Legend of Zelda “, which is due to debut on March 26, 2027.
As much as the range of adaptations is large, some remain out of the national team that could gain space in Hollywood. With that in mind, Recreio has gathered a list of 5 games that could win versions for the big screen; look:
1. Dark Souls

With gods, knights and dark and medieval aesthetics, “Dark Souls” (2011) is situated in the Age of Fire, when the first flame, used to end the era of dragons, begins to go out and, as a result, puts the life of the beings created by fire in threat of extinction. In the game, players have the mission to make this curse end.
The story has two sequels, which would be perfect to make the plot a franchise in theaters.
2. Red Dead Redemption

Also a franchise, “Red Dead Redemption” has two titles, where the first was released in 2010, with John Marston as protagonist. The synopsis says: “When federal agents threaten his family, former law of law John Marston is forced to hunt the gang of criminals he has already called friends.”
Already the second that, despite being released in 2018, takes place before the original, brings another main character: Arthur Morgan.
The adaptation could bring their history, inserted in the Old West, and perhaps, even the iconic horror story of the Undead Nightmare expansion, where the world of Red Dead Redemption becomes zone of a zombie -dominated apocalyptic war.
3. Crash Bandicoot

With several original titles and spin-offs, the Crash Bandicoot franchise is starred by the Crash Bandicoot marsupial, who is always in a race to save the world from evil forces-among them, his creator, Dr. Neo Cortex who wants to eliminate him at all costs.
Although the premise resembles Sonic’s history, there are several stories in the game that could bring completely different adaptations from the one starring by the blue hedgehog that could also win large audiences in movie theaters.
4. Detroit: Become Human

Quantic Dream’s science fiction history, “Detroit: Becom Human” (2019) has the following synopsis: “Set in the city of Detroit during the year 2036, the city was revitalized by the invention and introduction of androids in everyday life. But when androids begin to behave as if they were alive, events begin to get out of control.”
Exploring how players’ choices and actions can cause changes in the future of the game universe, generating different finals, an adapted feature film could follow different ways, and further highlight the complexity of humanoid androids.
5. God ex

With a lot of action, “God ex” is brought into a cyberpunk scenario in the year 2052 while following JC Denton, an agent with superhuman skills that should deal with a dystopian world full of factions that fight worldwide domination, putting the player into action while exploiting the story of the game, enters combat and resolves missions.
In history, there are reflections on trans-humanism and social control, as well as addressing secret societies and conspiracy theories that could generate an enigmatic and dark film. It is worth mentioning that God ex is also a franchise whose narratives are distinct and can generate various types of adaptations.
