Abdul Rahman Jamous Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Well, In 2018 I saw the movie "Hanuman Vs Mahiravana" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llXo_d0UKZw) and I liked it because watching it felt like watching a walkthrough of a video game. But yesterday I watched "Dragon Quest: Your Story" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANB1TBs6RRA) and actually I fell in love with it. For me these two movie have a lot in common, first in both movies there is less story and more action, the plot is kinda like a quest after the other, the protagonist is getting new equipment along the way and he is discovering a new abilities as the journey progresses and the antagonist is a one dimensional villain, and also visually the characters are very distinctive and very special looking compared to the world that surround them. I know that the two movies I mentioned are basically 3D animation. But you got "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "spirited away", both are 2D animation, but one is Animation and the other is Anime. so can RPG movies become a whole new genre?? and become the answer to how video games should be adapted to the silver screen??

AJ Young Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 In my opinion, an RPG is typically a fantasy film by definition. Unless the audience can role play as the characters on screen while making selections on how the plot should go, an RPG film adaptation is just a fantasy film. They've made plenty of Final Fantasy films that haven't been that great, although excellent popcorn fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg MacPherson Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 To the casual outside observer, "RPG" is not a genre, unless cinema/small screen mediums choose to allow it as such. Even then, that would just be part of the potential incursive assault. As it is it looks like a potential breakaway medium... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
