I DONT KNOW WHY I AM SCREAMING!!

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).

None of them. If they work fine as video games, why screw with it? 'If it aint broken, dont fix it.'

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.

This doesn't make any sense. For example

Game A is simple. It's fun, but it has no story. Nothing to merit a film.

A writer comes along and writes a good script based on Game A. Even though the characters didn't have any depth in the game, he writes some in. He gives the movie a more complex story.

The End.

Why is this impossible?
