>movie adaptation of a game

>movie adaptation of some shitty ass hipster pixel "game"

Why should I give a fuck?

>>14386506

Most likely.

>>14386515

>implying papers, please isn't actually game

You're trying too hard to fit in.

>>14386515

Its was a pretty good game.

And its a pretty good film.

You dont have to give a fuck if you dont want to, anon.

>>14386542

Well it's a mini game. It would fit right into some hipster post-modern JRPG.

Or newgrounds.

>>14386545

Dunno about film, but the game was trash.

Is Jorji in it

Does this look like a movie board?

>>14386581

Visual novels and mobage allowed, so I don't see why movies shouldn't be.

>>14386561

>game was trash

How so?

Its one of the few games that fit gameplay and story seemlessly together without cutscenes or breaks, while having a unique gameplay loop which was challenging but not tedious, not to mention having decent writing and plenty of choice and outcomes directly affected by player choice.

>>14386573

The embed is the whole film, so you can watch it yourself.

I think Jorji only appears during a short montage, his name and face is there for a second but nothing else

>>14386581

If this is not considered relevant for this board, then you may as well say that to all the webm and gamergate threads

>>14386588

The "ge" in mobage refers to games and visual novels sometimes have gameplay. Nice dubs though.

that was pretty good

>>14386616

>How so?

Not enough cute anime girls doing cute things.

>>14386685

Pushing buttons to see lights flash and your money being removed from your account doesn't equal gameplay. Yeah it's still a "game", just not video game.

Unless we consider online, or any really, slot machines and gambling video games as well.

Good enough

>>14386708

>no papers, please style h-game where you have to strip search loads of cute girls

>>14386492

>movie-to-film adaptation

Why?

>>14386812

Dosh

>>14386797

Is that only counting live action? Because there have been plenty of good animated adaptions.

>>14386492

Thought it was great up until the ending. Could have let the last person be a rebel and handed the codex to him and the last shot was of the inspector deciding to hit the detain button or not.

Something I do have to ask is why all the text was in English?

>>14386797

what other movies are there? i know RE has movies and they were all complete trash but i kind of liked it just due to how absurd and retarded some of those scenes were

That was pretty good.

>>14386845

Game was made in English. Since a lot of the text in-game is actually graphical (from what I remember), I'm guessing they opted out of trying to localize graphics as well and just stuck with "original text".

>>14387142

I remember Prince of Persia being bland as all hell, but not bad. Like water, it's got no texture, no smell, it's just there. Only lacking a reason to exist.

>>14387142

You kiddin'? There are tons of bad vidya movies.

Silent Hill

Doom

The Super Mario Bros Movie

Angry Birds

That awful Halo OVA

Ratchet & Clank

The list goes on

>>14387445

It's a Russian film, is it not obvious? The two guys behind it are from Moscow.

>>14387467

Oh yeah, first Mortal Kombat was the first "good" game movie. I've never seen Tomb Raider, so I can't say. Did anybody know they're about to release a nuTomb Raider movie? I saw a poster of it at a local theater by chance, had no idea it existed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_based_on_video_games

It was great. No gay ass nigger bullshit just straight to the point.

>>14387445

The internet is full of Russian bots.

>>14387445

The film is russian, that's not some made up language they're speaking in the film to fit the tone of the game you know (still incredibly fitting, considering Arstotzka is largely based on soviet russia).

>>14387538

Through all that irony there's a golden truth behind his ramblings. The quickest way to truth in through humor.

It was interesting enough, but why did it randomly end in people blowing themselves up? The ticket master didn't do anything wrong, except for letting himself get shot like a retard.

>>14386616

>unique gameplay loop which was challenging but not tedious

>which was challenging but not tedious

>not tedious

You got to be shitting me. The gameplay was supposed to be tedious. You were supposed to find a rhythm to get along with it, and the entire challenge came from things breaking your rhythm, like people not presenting all papers, or new papers to check being added, or shit happening outside your desk area. The entire point was that the game was tedious, and that you had to work around that. Did you even play it, faggot?

>>14387467

>>14387142

Theres also the 2 Hitman movies where whoever played Agent 47 definitely did not go for the silent assasin rating.

Then there is the ASScreed film.

>>14388007

>randomly

The inspector failed to uphold security protocol.

>>14388130

I did play it.

I guess tedious was not the right word choice. What I meant was that it was fair and not enraging or too boring

>>14388233

Isn't that a bit dramatic?

>her name isn't spelled right

>you and all your coworkers are dead now

>>14388241

I dont think there is supposed to be a moral "If you let a person with wrong documments through, youll die".

I think its supposed to be a "Such is life in Arstotska." kind of thing. He felt guilt that he stopped the guards gf from passing through, so he eased up on the next person. He didnt do anything wrong.

Such is life in Arstotska.

>>14387556

I always thought arstotzka was some balkan shithole, with all the talk about lost clay, petty bickering with other countries and such.

>>14388130

>it's supposed to be tedious!

No that's the assumption people who haven't played the game make because being ironically unenjoyable is how a lot of these shitty job simulator games work.

What makes papers, please great is it manages to do the "I bet you can't believe there's a game where you're an x" shit while also being a good game in its own right. Even when you aren't doing the scripted parts you're either patting yourself on the back when you managed to catch a discrepancy in the papers, or you're getting paranoid as fuck when you can't find anything wrong and start triple checking every before letting them through.

>>14387568

Russians seem to be focused on making malware and cracking games over making conversational bots.

>>14386492

>Production quality, sound design, voice acting, set design, general cinematography is really good.

I concur. The plot however is lacking. Surprisingly good overall, just like the game.

http://papersplease.wikia.com/wiki/Son%27s_Drawing

>Son's Drawing (1982) is a prime example of the late 20th century naïve art movement. It was made by the inspector's son, an Arstotzkan child who aspires to the ideology and aesthetic of primitivism rather than the socialist realism that characterizes most art produced in the region. The work itself depicts a shielded eagle, similar to the one seen on Arstotzkan emblem, watching the back of a brave warrior identified as papa (the Sanskrit word for sin) who is engaged in an intense firefight. The clever double meaning demonstrates the artist's grasp of the double-edged nature of Arstotzkan "Heroism." Some critics have pointed out that the color and the stance of the eagle are references to the artist and his family's inevitable flight from Arstotzka to Obristan, a feat that deeply traumatized the artist before the actual escape.

>2nd terrorist attack in a week cut my earning day short again

I don't think it's possible to "win" at this.

>>14388811

There are 20 possible endings.

Only three are "good".

>>14388811

>>government keeps adding new documents to examine and cross-reference, causing more errors and penalties

It literally makes it easier because more reasons to deny people entry causes you to process more and earn more.

>>14388271

most likely, although there's some german influence with the east/west Grestin thing.

unless cities were cut in half over there too

>>14388811

Sounds like you need to git gud. Literally the only thing I ever had trouble with were the cities where the passports were issued because fuck remembering all those pseudo-slav names and looking things up takes too long. I not only managed to keep my fam healthy and well fed but even got into a better apartment.

>>14394532

>embed unrelated

>>14394379

Yea, plot is lacking a bit, I also would have prefered a 20min or longer.

Making a full length 2h film would run the risk of just getting boring, although I think, if the producers and directors were competent they could make it engaging enough

was trying to figure out what the dev's working on now, ended up finding a short sfx breakdown

Vidya movie night when?

>>14386783

There's that game about finding witches at a school but it has very little in the way of stripping and is a textbook example of "weeabooshit" (I bet that stupid word filter is still there).

>>14387494

There's a difference between "good" and "nostalgic fond memories".

>>14387612

They can but the trends are pretty set.

>>14386710

Yeah you've obviously never played any. They do happen to have gameplay but not majorly. Which is why the only real mobage people talk about is Granblue.

That was pretty good, production values and cinematography were top notch, especially for and independent film. Glad to see that its getting well deserved attention.

>>14408011

No, the Mortal Kombat movie does not depend on the nostalgia factor. It was the first good vidya movie because it was the first that actually respected the source material and wanted to make something fun with it. It might be silly and profundly B-list, but you can't take away its quality as the first vidya movie that didn't actively shit on its roots.

I like it. Short but to the point. Feels more like an extended trailer for the game if anything.

>>14386492

>>14408061

If any movie based on a game should do anything to the audience for me to consider it a success, it's to make the viewer want to play the game.

Seeing this short film made me want to play Papers Please, so I'd say it's good

ice game when

>>14420635

Because only retards with the inability to separate fact from fiction of a tumblrette shit on Specs Ops: the Line, and tumblrettes don't play Papers Please.

>>14420635

Papers, Please doesn't openly mock you for playing it.

>>14420652

>Because only retards with the inability to separate fact from fiction of a tumblrette shit on Specs Ops: the Line

So you're saying the people who shit on it do so because they cant separate fact from fiction? What does that even mean?

>>14420659

That sounds like a soyim excuse. A lot of great games did this, especially adventure games.

>>14386492

They tried too hard to make it look like the game on the first immigrant.

The cinematography is fine but the acting is pretty bland.

>>14386515

>amifittinginyetguys

>>14420679

It means they take the white phosphorus attack as a personal attack against their moral standing when it's blatantly Walker's tactical mistake. Walker isn't even a first-person silent protagonist for fuck's sake.

>>14420708

I thought that's why the game got praised? Because you do a bad thing and see the main characters downfall with ptsd, then the end of the game is essentially "You know you're the bad guy what are you even fighting for"

>>14420720

Because it's not /a decision/. You don't make the decision. It's either Do The Bad Thing or Stop Playing Entirely. Those are your decisions. You don't get to make a call there. In Papers Please, you do: do I let this person through to see their loved one despite their shitty paperwork and take the hit on the chin, potentially hurting my family, or do I deny her as I should by the rules and move along a little faster so I can feed my family and keep them out of the cold?

Do I work with this strange organization for the money they offer, or do the 'right thing' and report them to the authorities?

Do I stop this criminal? Do I even care?

Those are choices. "Do I follow the linear line the game forces me to follow or stop playing entirely?" is not a choice. Papers Please doesn't call you out, either. You just know, most of the time (There are a few exceptions) that you did what you did, and you know the general ramifications of it. But The Line mocks you at every turn for doing WHAT IT FORCES YOU TO DO, snickering at your 'evilness' for daring to 'enjoy' the foul things you 'do'.

>>14420635

Papers, Please has original gameplay where as Spec Ops: The Line is a generic third-person cover shooter? Also Papers, Please does the thing where the game tries to make you feel like a bad person, but despite this its actually possible to do the right thing by people and get a good ending.

>>14388007

Terrorists attacks are a routine ocurrence in the game as well, regardless of your performance. Such is life in the border, etc

>>14386797

>film

>10 minutes

Nigga wut?

>>14425361

Yes, there are these things, called "short films", anon. What near everyone thinks when they say "film", that is, something around 80-100, is actually shorthand for "feature film".

Shorter films exist mostly in the hobbyst realm and as a way for budding directors to build a portfolio.

>>14425435

*something around 80-100 minutes, fuck.

>>14422578

>>14422648

But the gameplay was so shit and tedious I didn't even give a shit.

>>14425604

Plenty of people enjoyed it anon. You can't pretend it wasn't far more original than Spec Ops: The Line was.
