Not a franchise but I would like to see Horizon Zero Dawn make it to the big screen.

They did it already. It's called Crank.

Parasite Eve.

The novel was turned into a movie. The video game was it's own standalone part 2 to the novel/movie.

Have Aya kill the perfect being and original Eve in one go.

I can't believe I scrolled 4 pages before seeing this. Greatest game story in history to me

I know it's not a franchise (yet), but it is the GOAT

I liked Doom.

I think the Quake games would be a cool movie.

The Far Cry series too.

Such a great fricking game.

The online Rainbow Six version of it was fantastic too.

I feel like Overwatch has been setting it up for a movie. Don't think I'd really be into it. But I could easily see that eventually happening.

Aren't they doing a Halo series on one of the streaming services? I might be confusing it the LotR series on Amazon though.

A full length Zelda Anime based on BOTW would be good enough for me.

Same with KOTOR, distill the game into a single story line and animate it.

If they did it as a comedy, it would have potential. I get a kick watching my son play and laughing his arse off.

maybe in tone

there are like 20 zelda games that split off into 3 timelines

Somewhere in there there is one way to do it right but 1 million ways to piss everyone off

or they can just go the safe route and make a safe film that people forget about in 10 years but makes money because it's Zelda

Dead Space, done properly and better than Doom, would be a good chill & watch film. Plenty of directions for directors to go with the story and add entertaining intangibles.

Also thinking Devil May Cry, Deus X, & maybe Ninja Gaiden (Ninja Assasin was great; need same producer).

I know I'm pretty stoked with the upcoming Witcher series. Hopefully its done right.
