MMORPGs crossing over into other entertainment mediums isn’t unknown to us at this point, of course. There was that Warcraft movie that one time. Seems like that was ages ago, doesn’t it? And there have been plenty of TV shows and films that ended up in MMO format (such as Defiance, Stargate Worlds, and The Matrix Online).
Our game worlds are rich with potential and stories, and I’m sure it’s crossed all our minds at one time or another that a movie or miniseries set in those places could be pretty amazing. Or they could totally betray the spirit of the game and be rage fuel for fans ever following.
What do you think? Which MMO worlds would be great settings for movies or TV miniseries?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
