  1. Apex Legends is based around the Apex Games, basically it is the Hunger Games except you get chosen for it out of a lot of people who volunteer, and you make an ungodly amount of money for winning and winning often. I dunno what the canon is about people dying in the games but in a nutshell 20 teams of 3 (Players) choose a champion from a roster (The characters in the videos) and then they fly into the arena and fight til there's one squad remaining. The overarching lore of Apex Legends melds heavily with the Titanfall games as they take place in the same universe.

  2. I may be a bit late, but the simpel reason there are not that many game movies is of course money.
    The biggest example of this is the game Grand Theft Auto 5(GTA5), wich is estimatet to have cost from 137 million all the way up to $265 million to produce. Even though it migth seem expensive, the return rate is much greater than that of a movie. In just the first 24 hours after launch the game gained $815 million in worldwide revenue, equating to approximately 11.21 million copies sold.
    On top of the upfront price, many games have (real money)transactions for in-game items, and this is where the real money is made. A figure from a year ago etimates that GTA5 has made $6 billion. That is more than any movie, ever.
    Another point is that many movies exist only to promote other products, such as toys and the rigth to rent the license to 3rd partys. Games already has the options to directly put the toys in-game, where only your imagination limits what is sold digitally.
    Many of the big games companys are complety soulless, money-hungry oppetune capalists, that spendt plenty of time in courtrooms, figthing for the rigth to making children gambling addicts.
    If there was money to be made making game movies, instead of putting them into games, there would be movies.
    In total, there were an estimated 2.7 billion gamers across the globe in 2020. Much of the untapped market is children, since most adults who wants to be gamers already are.

    The smart thing about games, is that they are 'the movie' cog, in the money making machine, and you skip a lot of middelmen, such as theaters and factorys for toys, and sell directly to the customer, in your own self-regulatet in-game store.

  3. Even if Control freaks you out or maybe you don't like it, I can recommend the other Remedy games to you. Alan Wake and Quantum Break. The concept of Quantum Break is nice. It's half game half TV Show, I really liked it.

  4. Generally video game movies are not good so they don't get adapted very often. I am a big fan of The Witcher, I loved Wild Hunt and the books are great but while I enjoyed the TV series, I had many complaints with it. It's adapted decently well (not so much in other parts) and it gets the overall tone of The Witcher through while not compromising the integrity of the IP. Most games don't get this treatment however and usually end up being lazy cash grabs on popular games or poorly made into a viewing medium rather than a playable one.

  5. Couple reasons I can think of is that games are an active form of entertainment giving meaning and agency to the user's actions, which some of the best writers use to their advantage when telling their stories. You lose that when transferring to a more passive medium such as film similar to how you lose story exposition when transferring from novel to film (at least without having characters do exposition dumps). Additionally, for some of these larger games, they have much much longer of a time to ease the player into the world, establish lore, and have little interactions that keep adding to the story, as for some of the most story driven rpg games will have 20-50 hours of content (even if a majority of it is fighting mechanics).

    I think however, the main culprit is that when video games are transferred over, studio execs either dont really care about the stories and see it more as a cash grab.

  6. Video game movies were tried back in the early 90's, movies made by movie producers with olden day animation (not good atall). this killed the idea of ever making them into movies as they were so bad. thus remained the stigma of "games are for kids". there have been some advancement in movie making in recent times however the movie industry never really bothered to combine this with good storytelling. sooooooooooooo if you really love a great adventure story with actual feeling, gaming is where its at. if you're into a good book you should probably try out some RPG games. enjoy the trailers 😛

  7. As someone who is a huge Apex Legends fan I have to ask out of genuine curiosity. Why watch the trailers out of order? You went from Season 5 trailer to the Season 2 trailer. You also should watch the "Stories from the Outlands" trailers that delve deeper into these characters and their world. Thing will be a lot clearer if they're watched in order.

  8. 29:43 its hard to fit world bulding and character development woth 40+ hours into a 2 hour long movie or a show and not have it feel rushed or risk having some key/unimportant details at the time but contribute to the character or story as a whole not feel rushed or unfleshed out.

  9. You're failing to understand that those aren't movie trailers. They're just to hookup so you buy the game or next expansion/part of the game. That's why they aren't character related, because you can be all things. Spider man game trailers are towards a premade character and packed storyline, Elder Scrolls are for you to made your character and decisions.

  10. If you interested in things that goes on, so go and play in fucking games ! But the elder scrolls series is quiet big so you better go and read their history or watch videos about it ! It's not that huge as warhammer universes so just be smart and do it !
