8 Video Games That Should Have Been Movies

So, let's be honest, David Cage is a man who seems trapped in the wrong industry, because every single game he has a hand in always comes with the same underlying message of "Please for the love of God let me make a full-blown movie"

I say this because all of his projects possess a cinematic focus which often comes at the detriment of any actual gameplay. Think about it, at most in titles like Heavy Rain, or Beyond Two Souls all you really do is move a character from one space to another and any action within is presented in QTE form.

It's just a series of decisions taking you from one beautifully crafted setpiece to another and when the term "plays like a movie" is often thrown at these projects, that's a clear sign that maybe someone should just give him an actual camera and crew to work with.

This isn't to slight the games in question, but you have to admit that the "gameplay" of these titles is so minimal and sometimes feels so tacked on, that it can sometimes take away from the stories being told, especially when they're used to pad out the runtime. Is it any wonder that "full movie" searches for his games are among the most viewed videos for each title?
