When it comes to E3, most people familiar with it would think of major gaming companies, like Nintendo, Xbox, and Square Enix. But this year's event will also be hosting the streaming media giant Netflix, during a panel called "Bringing Your Favorite Shows to Life: Developing Netflix Originals into Video Games". It'll take place at E3 Coliseum, which is a three-day event show that occurs alongside E3, and exists to give more information about developers and their individual projects. In the announcement, Netflix teased that it has multiple games lined up for E3, all based on their popular original TV shows.

I just named a few and wasn't going for a snes, nes list but if you want i can provide you a list with over 20 genenesis, masterdrive, snes and nes game list if you prefer that. I just find it quite dumb that people always play off game adaptations from movies as bad when there are a ton that are actually good. Many star wars games sucked ? what the hell are you smoking ? There were a lot that were good

just watch angry video game nerd and see all the LJN games that are all based on movies and tv and then say they are good lol and yes star wars has hundreds of games and most of them arent good, there are some good ones tough like everything, with enough games your bound to have some good ones.

Well there are also A TON of none movie based games that are quite bad so does that make every other non movie based game actually bad ? See that's your logic and it's flawed. It's not because some are bad that all are bad and like i named a few and can go on for quite a while, there are tons of good games based on movies and that's just fact. But ey, lets go by your logic and actually say all games are bad since a lot of them NOT BASED on movies are bad.

what? the nes and snes movie games were awful srs i dont know where you can even think the 80s and 90s video games adaptations of movies and such were any good, specialy the nes ones ones...

go play some ljn games then.

 

[Taleweaver]

for each of those good ones there are 20 that are awful and almost unplayable also jurassic park operation genesis is from 2003 and riddik from 2004 same for nemo games so those arent 80s and 90s games lol.

Many star wars games sucked ass tough only afew of them were decent, so like i said for each game you meantioned there are 20 ones that came out that are awful so no not a good list at all.

Erm...can it be that you're too young to have played games from the eighties or nineties? It seems to me you have your opinion based on how horrible SOME movie tie-in games became, and try to mask your lack of knowledge with an unhinged response (don't get me wrong: I like the video game historian. But he can't really convince me that there were only bad games based on video games when I lived and played games in that time).

Look...there are certainly infamously bad games based on movie franchises (ET and superman 64 come to mind). And with the dawn of 3D games (which became increasingly complex, and as such costly) quite some video game companies attempted to cash in rather than make a good/great game. This came from both sides, btw: movie distributors also started asking more for the privilege of having a known face on a video game.

The thing is: games weren't as expensive to make in the eighties and early nineties, and from interviews I've read (IIRC from former Ocean developers), movie distributors often had no idea about the value of video games so they charged little or didn't had much requirements. As such, developers had far more freedom, which resulted in better quality games.

On top of that: your example of star wars as being bad is particularly badly chosen. Star wars games were made by the legendary Lucasarts studios, who practically set (if not raised) the bar of quality for video games in general. Heck...I've played star wars games DESPITE their franchise (I think they're "kind of okay" at best), simply because the quality was so good.


EDIT: heh...just noticed @DANTENDO mentioned Ocean as well.

why waste $ on netflix when you could have usenet and you get to keep what you download?

 

[lismati]

Tie me down for a visual novel based on Bonding ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Spider_Man]

Isnt it games that get turned into this tv shows/movies not the other way round.

I couldnt think of anything on shitflix that id want to see turned into a game.

You know itll be some over hyped steaming pile of shit, more money paid to get popular actors than writing and directing something good.

 

[Ericthegreat]

they gonna make 13 reasons why and riverdale im calling it right now

Lol and they could be walking simulators, perfect. Will be #1 seller for years.

 

[dimmidice]

story based games could be an option for them to do. telltale games is gone so there's space in the market for them i guess

 

[FateForWindows]

I wish I could give a response that's more than two letters, but that's the only fitting response.

Tidus laugh

 

[BORTZ]

Reminds me of Telltale. So this is why Netgaming raised the prices again.

That is exactly what I was thinking. This sounds like TellTale V2. That might not be a bad thing, But I hope that they come forward with some better ideas than TTG. Their formula was good for the first few games, but it never changed.

OOOH! They should adapt Castlevania into a game! It's not like Konami is gonna do it.

LOL

 

[eriol33]

riverdale open world game is actually kinda cool. that show reminds me to twin peaks meets desperate housewives, the plot is very nonsensical but fun.

 

[reddragon105]

Lmao they're gonna make a fucking big mouth game or some dumb shit like that

You laugh, but I would play that. Probably. Depending on what type of game it was.

 

[ryguy2010]

they gonna make 13 reasons why and riverdale im calling it right now

They can't make Riverdale, they don't own the rights lol.

 

[AceX]

Russian Doll is gonna be like Super Meat Boy.

@Chary You derp. XBox is not a company

I just hope it's like the 80's and 90's, where the movie/TV tie-in games weren't crap and we're actually fun to play.

The 80s and 90s were absolutely the worst when it comes to movie and TV tie-ins.
Did you forget about LJN? Or did you just purge it from your memory?

Tie-ins these days can be boring cash grabs, but at least they're playable. I would say the bar has been raised, there have been some really good movie based games the past 20 years, and fewer of the really bad ones. Recently for example there's been a Spiderman game that's supposed to be great and the Tomb Raider games (that I haven't played) are supposed to be great as well.

You're right, but I've played a fair bit of Amiga and I don't remember movie/TV tie-ins being very common on that system. I think it wasn't until the NES that companies discovered they could make a quick buck by licensing TV/movie franchises for games. On old home computers a lot more of the games were almost zero budget, made by small developers, as anyone could develop for them, and those people didn't have the money to license TV/movie franchises anyway.
