De Blob De Movie

Leisure Larry Suite movie, when ?

I’ll look forward to my Cheetahmen film then! Can’t be any worse than the dross coming out of the MCU at the moment.

Do you ever think before posting?

Obscure? Sonic? One of the most iconic characters in video-game history?

I want The Suffering please

Are you all hiring? I could fix you

I mean.........welcome to 2002?

Can we get a Dino Crisis movie directed by Guillermo Del Toro? Not only does he have a handle on scary/action films, he also tends to use a lot of practical effects.

When do we get an actual Halo movie made by people who actually know and like Halo

Just because you never played Sonic or Uncharted doesn’t mean they’re “obscure”.

Now, now. these things work in trends. Westerns were a thing, comics had their run. Its only logical the video games would be the next thing. Just brace yourself of movies about lame social media sites and dumb ass blogs coming right up.

I know Sonic hasn't exactly done well in video games, but since when is he Obscure?

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh verge you are still there keeping up the peak trash moniker...never stop being trash you sentient pile of wet garbage

“Obscure?” Do you people have editors?

I can tell if this is a joke. Sonic is obscure?

Let's go!

Come on deadly premonition movie

What on Earth are you talking about?

Lol, Obscure, Sonic is literally just as Obscure as the Mario Bros. maybe you at least know what you're talking about before you disrespect a household name like Sonic the Hedgehog.

How dare there be movies that aren’t Marvel.

That would be a welcome flood though, as opposed to the fifty millionth marvel superhero franchise..

I am in favor of this unironically

Please don't, I dont need more IP's to get ruined or at least muddied by the film industry.

WE KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, TRAFFIC MUXRDERERS!!!

Eternal Champions

InterplayGames AlltheDirtonJim Earthworm Jim needs to grace the big screen done right!

Postal movie ? Nah already done

Ecco the dolphin anyone

I can't wait for...

a manhunt movie would be insane

Don't let Bubsy the movie happen tho

Was Sonic considered obscure? Part of the reason for its success is the active fan base. An obscure game wouldn't be able to get this much attention.

Lets go.

Eternal Champions Midnight Resistance

Either Panzer Dragoon Saga or Skies of Arcadia would be great since they have unique stories! - C, the Creator

I'll take it over endless superhero movies. Let the trends move on

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE...

Gunstar Heroes the Movie baby!!

Live action LSD Dream Simulator adaption when?

Finally, a STALKER movie

Please make this happen

Yeaaah!

Chibi-Robo movie when?

i actually non ironically liked the super mario bros movie, like a lot

Splatterhouse the movie!

ParasiteEve

Dig Dug , I'm waiting for you.

This SUPER MARIO BROS. (1993) slander will not stand.

SEAMAN MOVIE PLEASE?

Hope to see a alanwake wake movie some day. Here’s to hoping it doesn’t suck and they get Ilca Villi (sorry if I miss spelled)to reprise his roll. Or maybe a ControlRemedy movie.

well yea, people are getting sick of the comic book movies and the industry needs to mine for content elsewhere for a while

And yet, none will be good

Here comes a Faxanadu film!
