Inspired by: whose plot is based on famous films.

In this post, I gave the list and general plot moments of films and games that took from them a plot of what was happening. The list is based on my personal observations and is written with the aim of familiarizing the reader with these films. I did not include obvious examples as “Spec Ops: The Line” that are mainly based on the work of Joseph Conrad and less obvious examples of the pulled over the ears.

Red Dead Redemption – The Wild Bunch

The game from Rockstar Games, which was released in 2010, according to the relevant press, critics and ordinary players, clearly proved that the Open World genre can be made of intelligible western, and also closed the genre as before made with criminal militants (so that other developers had to change the path only so that it was not repeated, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, “Call of Juarez: The Cartel”). She closed the game not only of the game genre, but also the setting itself, since we were faced with the sunset of the Wild West, which we are so used to seeing the screens of monitors and TVs. However, the scenario of the game itself actually retold the events of Sam Beijing, “The Wild Bunch”, but with the position of a lawyer who, just like in the film, was forced to chase his former accomplices who escaped from justice to Mexico during the years of the revolution and civil war. Let the plot differ in details and in unfolding conflicts, but the main plot and message of the film in the game remained low. Just as at one time Sam Pekrinp, who shot his film at sunset of the genre and on the sunset of the Wild West familiar to us, and Rockstar San Diego actually made almost the last successful work in this genre about the same historical period. In fairness, it is worth noting that even before the release of the game it was obvious what film was inspired by the creators, which the authors did not hide, and now on their site this film is recommended for viewing. And just the same authors of the recently announced Red Dead Redemption 2, already hints at its first trailer, which this time the famous movie will be based on the scenario of the game, because if someone can revive the genre, taking as a basis a cult film, then only those who have already managed to successfully crank up something similar.

Zombi – Dawn of the gamblingsitesnotongamstop.co.uk/ Dead

However, it is not necessary to assume that the plot moves from famous films cannot adversely turn over the developers in games. So, for example, it occurred to the creators of Dead Riding in 2008 on which “The MKR Group”, owners of the 1978 film “Dawn of the Dead” filed a court. The court then did not take the side of the plaintiff, not satisfied with their arguments, although it was worth recognizing something similar between them, so there and there the main character enters the consumer paradise, who had flown by the dead helicopter and both works are mocking the whole consumer society. However, if the owners of the film’s rights filed a lawsuit against Ubisoft, then it is not a fact that the latter would have taken off as easily. We are talking about their game “Zombi” and I am not about the recent reprints of “WII U” exclusive, but about the 1987 quest of the same name, which is its spiritual ancestor. The original game reproduces the events of the film how much it is possible by the standards of that time: all the same four survivors are forced to put their helicopter on the roofs of the shopping center and fighting off the orava of the dead and looters to get gasoline in a long road without death. Let the gameplay of the game and its plot only briefly conveys the essence of the film, not particularly going into the meaning laid down by the authors of the picture, but nevertheless it was the same name for the game, and it would perfectly fit into the game adaptation of the films of those years.

Condemned: Criminal Origins – Suspect Zero

And here is already a case from the category of coincidences, rather than obvious borrowings. The film itself was released a little earlier than the year before the game. From the coincidence, it is only that the general details of the plot are only: the main character of the disgraced employee of the FBI, having secured the help of his former colleague along the trail of the killers, who in turn are the killer of the killers. In both cases, it turns out that the killer of the murderers has an unusual gift and is engaged in the like far from the best motives, and he also has his own plans for the protagonist. This applies to the category of coincidences because it is weak that someone will write a plot for a game that was developed for more than one year, according to the newly released film, and not the best quality. Despite the fact that the visual style and in general the atmosphere of the game does not ambiguously hints at films such as “SE7en” and “The Silence of the Lambs”. However, you can add to the piggy bank the fact that both main characters are called Thomas, though in cases of game this is his surname.
Interesting fact: “The Butcher” is one of the bosses in the game as an employee in a school dining room is similar to “Delilah Hack”, which is the mother of the main character and one of the maniacs-sala’s in the Hack/Slash comics series.

Necrovision – Deathwatch

The successful release “Battlefield 1” clearly proved that the first world war can be made a successful and at the same time a reliable game according to a fairly positional conflict. Prior to this, as a rule, the developers, if they touched this conflict, then did either its alternative version where the Russian Empire already threatens enlightened Europe (“Codename Eagle”, “Iron Storm”), or the mysticism and occultism were naked. An inspiration for the latter was the mystical film of horrors in the surroundings of the ongoing “Deathwatch” conflict, but if the developers of “The Darkness” were precisely what were inspired by reproducing the atmosphere, then the Poles from Farm 51 literally repeated the film of the film in their game “NECROVISION”. Judge for yourself: the main character went to the front himself without knowing what he signed up, while he should not even be there (in the film Private Shakespeare was a minor, in the game the main character was a citizen of the United States to which the country was not allowed to participate in the war at that time); Both during the offensive operation fall under the gas attack (because of which both the dying agony is interpreted there and there) and remain with aggressive fellow soldiers in the enemy trenches of which they are forced to kill and eventually find it in the branch of the underworld. Also in the game (well, or at least in the introductory trailer), a monster was wielding thorny wire. In fairness, it is worth noting that the game repeats the plot of the film literally to the first shootout and then it develops its own storyline, let it not be the most successful, and the developers have not focused on the plot.

Battlefield: Bad Company – Three Kings

The original plot in Military Shooter’ah is far from what they play in such works. Thus, the inexistence of the Dice Studio tried to introduce into the genre by changing, making the most serious and parody game about the Third World War. Since the plots in such games are usually either monotonous, or paranoidally nonsense, the authors decided to go through the beaten -out road and the plot of their game is very reminiscent of the script of the famous film Owen Russell. And there and there, the main characters, far from the most exemplary soldiers, during the service will learn about the gold reserve of the enemy and go to the self -wolf where, in the process of removal of popular good, they provoke the aggression of its owners to the third, neutral side and are forced to protect them in every possible way. In the game, the third side was a dictator of a neutral state, while in the film an Iraqi opposition. In fairness, if you dig a little deeper, you can find out that such a plot is so good for a frivolous military work that this is not its first reproduction in the gaming industry, in particular one of the plot lines of Front Mission 4 also surprisingly repeated this formula. It is possible that if you dig a little deeper, it is quite possible to find similar elements in earlier works, which the director of Russell later used, the benefit of this genre in the cinema is one of the most clichered.
