What's good, Joy, Josh, and fellow HotFix_Gaming subscribers?! I hope that everyone is doing well. Same here, no complaints. I like tour take on this video. You all did a video about video games based on or inspired by movies rather than video games adapted into movies. I can remember when there was a time where pretty much any action-adventure game was made into a movie (i.e. The Minority Report, Bourne Supremacy, Spider-Man, etc). Nor that there's anything wrong with that, but it's nice to see a fresh perspective on video games that were inspired by one or more movies. I didn't even realize that Starship Troopers was the inspiration behind Helldivers 2 and Uncharted being based on Indiana Jones is obvious. I actually never heard of or saw the movie Internal Affairs until Sleeping Dogs was released and the developers cited it as a major influence. That was definitely a great movie in hindsight. I would like to add Destroy All Humans being based on Mars Attacks, Mafia drawing influence from The Godfather and Goodfellas, and LA Noire being LA Confidential set in the 1940s and also inspired by popular movies of the film noir genre at the time. It even makes reference to some of these movies with the characters and especially the film reels that you can find throughout the city when you're not doing cases. With the seemingly overnight success of Black Myth: Wukong, it would be cool to see a video on novels and books adapted into video games. I've only gotten past Chapter 2 so far. Although I haven't beaten it yet, I'm willing to put it up there with Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Helldivers 2, Tekken 8, and Stellar Blade as my personal favorite games of 2024. It's linear with highly detailed environments and some areas that almost make it seem open-world, a great soundtrack, and epic combat and boss battles. The introduction cutscene and battle was amazing. It reminded me of Asura's Wrath or the beginning of God of War 3 where you picked up where the story left off on 2. I love it when you have an independent developer/publisher showing the mainstream ones how it's done. Black Myth: Wukong is definitely worth all of the hype. I never thought I would see another video game or movie that embodies the Journey to the West lore as much as Dragon Ball Z.
Hey @EBrant_3rd , We are doing well so far and glad you are ok too. Glad you liked the idea and do definitely remember them, especially in the ps2 era where there was a game pretty much with every movie. Did not know about that in destroy all humans and in Mafia can definitely see the inspiration. Have not gotten around the game yet but definitely going to play it at some point. definitely a great effort from game science and heard and seen alot of good things about the game. There is a ps3 game that was loosely based on jounrey to the west and the game is enslaved odyssey to the west. Quite underappreciated game, I believe.
@HotFix_Gaming Absolutely! I completely forgot about that game. It was one of my favorites and truly underappreciated, as you said for PS3. I didn't even pick up on the Journey to the West influence at the time, but in hindsight, I can definitely see it now. It's technically even in the title. 😅 I wouldn't mind getting a current gen sequel or remaster for that game.
Do you know of any other games that were influenced by movies?

It would be nice if they did, bought a second hand copy last year and played it for the first time. Really enjoyed it.
