4 and 5 are already movies. Especially 5.
And 6 is going to be just a school bus fire.
And TLOU wasn't already a movie?
Same shit for Uncharted.
>adapting a series that just rips off movie set-pieces and plots from crime thrillers and neo-noirs
What would be the point?
Sounds like a tarantino flick.
The most enjoyable part of these games is the free-roaming aspect where you just wander off to explore and do random shit while ignoring the main narrative entirely. I don't hate the story missions in GTA but they're not good enough to sustain interest as non-interactive content and like said they're 90% references to existing films anyway
The only way I think it could work is to abandon the idea of a plot altogether and do GTA 3 as a series of short vignettes all directed by different directors with nothing in common besides the setting and Claude. It would be the only way to replicate that feeling of chaotic randomness
This is the only good take I've heard on this?

yup I agree. would be too kino for the average normie but would be the only good way to do it
Nice. would work well as a television show.
That's a very interesting take; why GTA3 specifically?
Because Claude doesn't talk
this goy gets it. gta games are best as giant sandboxes, the plots and scripted content were always dogshit. i don't even remember what gta v was about besides having 3 protags for no reason

This literally never works. Name one anthology film that can compete with other good films.
Everyone can just go outside to see live action GTA.
No RDR or RDR2 would be better
Robert Downey Jr and Terence Howard
Randomly jacking cars has a high chance of you getting ventilated by the cc driver unlike the games.
Base it off San Andreas (that way "modern audiences" can be pandered to), make it a trilogy, each sticking roughly to a third of the main story of that game. Have a mid/after credit sequence in one of them of CJ hunting for woods for something.
only the first 2 are gta games.
Vice City spawned Scarface and Carlito's Way, those were pretty decent. Five sucks however and so would movie spinoffs.
>Vice City spawned Scarface and Carlito's Way
Did you spell "spoofed" wrong or are you just moronic
Nothing existed before I was born. Period.
Vice City is more like Miami Vice the series than those 2
For me, it's Carmen
>by far the shittiest story, setting, and characters of all 3D GTAs
You could have picked literally any other one.
Switching back and forth from the 3 characters was cool, though.
Gta 5 is quite literally a movie already.
However other games could use a movie adaptation.
4 could work really well as a multiple season show.
SA, LCS and VCS as standalone movies.
>4 could work really well as a multiple season show
>comfy episodes of the cousins just hanging out, getting into wacky hijinks
I'd watch.
4 was the only one where i felt invested in the story and characters.
4 is the only game that takes itself serious without being condescending and wacky like 5
frick that, gimmie a manhunt movie instead
ITT: Times you acted like Trevor
as movies? no
every GTA besides the first 2 and advance have way too much content, if anything they'd be shows
another problem is that some of them are already like movies/ rip and copy content from others (vice city/scarface and miami vice)
the only ones that would work imo are gta3, IV, and san andreas
or, if you had the budget and time, make a long series that encapsulates all the events from the 3d era of GTA (3, VC, SA, LB stories, and VC stories)
you could have actors reappear like they do in the games but with different looks
>make a long series that encapsulates all the events from the 3d era of GTA
>Grand Theft Auto Cinematic Universe
GTA4 probably has the only good story in the series
San Andreas has a good story up until the midgame
max payne if done right would be a fricking badass tv show or movie. im not counting the marky mark movie btw. that doesn't exist.
The missions in GTA III-SA allowed way more player choice on how to approach and complete. You usually had an opportunity to get it done in in several ways, it was much more of a simulation and less pre-determined.
In IV and especially V, you get corralled into playing the way game devs want with waypoints and regular control over your inventory and vehicle. IV isn't as bad as it doesn't pretend to be a giant playground like SA, it explicitly constrained itself and gave a different but honest presentation. But V gives the impression of unprecedented enormity and freedom while locking you in even harder than IV. You even automatically fail if you leave the mission zone like in ShartCry.
No. Too really appriciate GTA on a deeper level requires you to dive deep into the radio channels, the websites, the billboards etc. A movie, or even a tv series couldn't capture that.
GTA V is basically 'Heat-the Videogame'. I love the GTA games but they already took too May things from the movies,so it would be pointless.
Just turn on the police radios and listen in
