This is the way a game-based movie should be done.

NICE vid.

 

[captainnemojr]

That was awesome. I'm still waiting for a Zelda or Half-Life movie to come out.

 

[bustapr]

fk awesome. Really did justice to Portal, needs a bigger movie, with the same actress.

 

[alidan]

cant tell what i want more, between more of this and the zelda trailer.

 

[cobra5000]

Very cool. That was way better than the Resident Evil crap that keeps coming out.

 

[phraun]

That was pretty awesome. Also, the video is accumulating views at a mind boggling pace.

Valve can make good movies: Half-Life, Portal, Left4Dead and why not a 3d animated Team Fortress.

Still waiting for that Warcraft and Zelda movies

 

[Nnymrod]

[christop]

[fatkid35]

IMPRESSIVE! I'd sure pay to see a full length Portal film by these people and with that actress!

 

[tomfreak]

Starcraft 2 would be awesome replacement for Starwars. i kinda hate George lucas now. Seriously 6 episode only? if he dont feel like making it sell the rights to someone who will I want my starwars movies.

What I don't understand is why the game industry needs hollywood at all, why can't don't they just make a movie themselves, it's just a long ass cutscene.

Just higher a director, writer and a producer say here are some animators, sound guys, couple of engineers and say "don't suck"

Excellent film! Now if Uwe Boll could just work his magic on it...

Could it be because it's a lot easier to fill 5:30 minutes with a non-descript, "ominous" setting and follow up with some whizbang effects, than it is to make a feature length film that ipso facto has to string viewers along with at least some semblance of a coherent plot?

Conversely, if you extended this to even 30-40 minutes at its current level of plot/character development, people would be far more apt to call it hackneyed and banal in a way that made a Judge Dredd vs. The Expendables cross-over appear profound and intellectually engaging, by comparison.

Valve could make millions off of a Half Life + Portal movie campaign. I would go see them even if they were halfway decent. Good stuff I can only dream of...

 

[CaedenV]

holy crap! That was epic! Loved the attention to detail on the flames. Need to tone down the blue on the barrel of the gun when in daylight. Other than that, perfect!

@captainnemojr
There is a fan made Zelda movie out there, it's ok but not up to the standard one would hope. Nintendo caught wind of it just as it was being released and shut it down about a week after it was released. You can still find it floating around on the net but I doubt it'd be easy to find as it was released a while ago

Love the trailing effect on the portal gun muzzle.
The film was an unexpected surprise.

Great short film, but missing one thing... GLaDOS

Excuse me. Could you get out of my head please? I was about to create a post just like yours until I read what you had typed. Thanks for saving me the trouble.
