50 Video Game Movies In The Works: How Many Of Them Will Actually Come Out?

50 Video Game Movies In The Works: How Many Of Them Will Actually Come Out? https://ift.tt/H9oVGBf Like the seemingly unending comic book movie craze, Hollywood loves to find a type of film that it can turn into the next big cultural touchstone. Over the years, we've seen movies based on video games attempt to reach that level, with varying levels of success. We've seen adaptations of games for decades, but, to be fair, a lot of these were awful adaptations. Many of them missed the point of the source material and were clumsily executed--although we'll always have a soft spot for the 1994 Street Fighter movie--but lately, we've seen some big changes in this genre.

Like a lot of VR shooters, you can do yourself huge favors by mastering the reload animation.
