We're living in a time when video game adaptations are surpassing the films they are adapting, giving satisfying sequels or prequels to beloved franchises, revitalizing interest in past franchises and fads. I'm more excited and looking forward to games of series I used to love as films. Its kind of an exciting time, but its kinda dismal at the same time when you think about it. The video game industry is full of people who failed to get in to the film industry and the film industry is filled with people who don't understand the video game industry.
You gotta imagine the film industry is shook over it in some way. I no long er have to watch your movies, I can play a game of the genre your movie is and have a much more fulfilling, immersive and more entertaining time with it. And it must really scare them that with all the money that they fling around and all that, that a few people, sometimes even just a team of three dudes, can make better kino than they can.
Here's a sample of the cancelled Stage 9 project which would have been a simulator of the Enterprises of old from Star Trek, but it was cancelled by CBS.

Same with this game play demo of Burton's Batman made literally by one dude in Unreal Engine.

I'm looking forward to James Bond First Light, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle to go along with Infernal Machine and Fate of Atlantis, The Halloween and Hellraiser games, Robocop: Rogue City Unfinished Business, Terminator 2D: No Fate, amongst numerous, NUMEROUS others. Up to and including several other genres there aren't enough films for, or no films at all, and many other titles that don't have movie adaptations at all that scratch all the itches that I want when I want to be entertained.
Hollywood can't get its shit together and stop huffing its own fucking farts.
