Re: first person perspective

In Response To: first person perspective (foo)

: I can't imagine Half-Life, DX, Halo, or any of the Marathon games making good
: movies. There is no real main character in any of those games. The main
: character is you, the player. He doesn't have any personality on his own.
: The only first person game I can really see making a good movie is Thief.

: And don't get me started on Doom.

I agree with your point; most movies about the main FPS character would be kind of pointless (lots of running and shooting and an occasional switch to flip). I think though that Marathon has a rich enough background to make a compelling universe for a movie. Exactly what that movie is about could be a lot of things. The history of the UESC? Durandal's insane quest for immortality? The ancient Phor slave revolts? The list goes on... and Halo inherits it.
