But, I would like to see a movie made by Tim Schafer, more in the style of Psychonauts than the one from Brutal Legend (I love Brutal Legend, but it obviously wouldnt work as a movie).
You can't make a video game based movie good for two, out of the many, reasons.
1) Choice: In a game, no matter how small, you control at least a small portion of the world. You empower the player by allowing them an opportunity to take part in that world.
2) Exploration: You actually get to explore the world the designers, animators, and other members of the video game companies have created. Whether it be the open world of Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto 4, or the small map Pacman is trapped in, the player gains a sense of freedom by having the opportunity to actually go where they want to go in context to the world.
