Freeman must battle both the invaders and the world’s governments to keep humanity alive. Following scientist Gordon Freeman, the game is set in a research facility where an explosion sets off an alien invasion. This first-person shooter rocked the world with its scripted sequences and uninterrupted game play. (Honestly, it’s a crime some of these franchises haven’t been adapted multiple times already.) If other filmmakers can follow a similar model, we have a few ideas for which major video game properties could be the next big adaptation. Mortal Kombat seems to have achieved a successful balance of both.
Additionally, Hollywood has a difficult path to navigate, because if you stick too close to the source material you could potentially alienate casual audiences, but if you veer too far from it you risk cutting out the game’s fans. Video game adaptations are tricky because the nature of the medium is interactive and expansive, whereas films and television are a passive experience. So the inevitable question is, which one is next?
Along with the hype surrounding the forthcoming Sonic the Hedgehog sequel and the HBO series adaption of The Last of Us, it’s clear people are hungry for more video games to make the transition to the big screen.
Whether you liked the new Mortal Kombat film adaptation or not, it’s broken streaming records and audiences are eating it up.
