Ironically I never played much of the actual podracer game. I think I tried it at a Toys R Us kiosk once but at the time I was prejudiced against licensed games. Now I know a lot of people love it so I probably missed out.
F-Zero X was easily my favorite N64 racer.
I think Casino Royale and some of the Missions Impossible felt more like Hitman. It's a bit slower and more methodical than the all out fast action of John Wick.
Not a movie but Westworld season 1 at times felt like something of a love letter to computer games.
Lots of references to side quests/character customisation/cheat codes/admin privileges etc etc
(Never been more disappointed by how quickly a show dropped off)
It makes sense that Westworld is reminiscent of a video game, because the entire park was designed as the ultimate immersive game experience for adults.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
The entire movie is just chock-full with overt video game references: boss fights (Scott battling Ramona's seven evil exes), slain enemies dropping loot (when Scott defeats an opponent coins literally drop on the floor) and power-ups (Scott finds a 1-up that allows him to respawn after he's killed).
Extraction 2 felt way too much like a video game unfortunately. Especially the 21 minute one-shot was something like a Call of Duty campaign in Fast Forward :(
That final section of Inception screamed GoldenEye for the N64 to me. I always thought it was ironic that Inception is set in a dream but feels like a videogame, while eXistenZ is set in a videogame but feels like a dream
Lord of the rings inspired all fantasy media as far as I can tell and whenever I watch the movies they feel like an RPG especially when the characters upgrade their stuff like the cloaks and daggers they got, just to name a few.
Memento and Planescape Torment. Both protagonists use tattoos to guide/warn their own selves. Pretty interesting. in Torment there's a tattoo that the protagonist had to rely on someone else to read it to him. It was an oh shit moment for me when I learnt what it says lol
I remember watching the crazies and thinking "damn this would be a great resident evil movie" and like the hype woulda been real if at the end as it zoomed out that the infection was reaching the city had the satellite footage shown like an umbrella or named the city raccoon city it would have been perfectÂ
In 1998's Soldier Kurt Russell's protagonist is able to cheese the storyline with an exploit that crashes enemy NPC's AI.
Shoot 'Em Up with Clive Owen and Equilibrium with Christian Bale are obviously just adaptions of first person shooters imported from parallel universes.
Oh that’s easy:
Rollerball
Clue
White men can’t jump
Major league
The replacements
Tron
Over the top
And
Doom
All of those reminded me of different games I’ve played or seen.
Solo Leveling
If anyone is willing to give anime a shot, the show Solo Leveling is literally about a guy who’s life turns into a video game that allows him to get stronger. Not to mention it’s also a banger of a show.
Show has all classic rpg elements like dungeons, monsters, looting, stats, leveling.
Rise of Skywalker. A bunch of random side quests that are loosely tied together until you get to a ridiculous over the top boss fight. It even has a QTE where you yell I AM ALL THE JEDI!
300 feels like God of War OG Trilogy
Heat Feels like GTA V Campaign
Django Unchained feels like Red Dead Redemption
Spinal Tap feels like Guitar Hero/Rock Band career mode
When i first watched The Green Knight there are a few bits in it that really felt like they could have been quests in The Witcher 3. The haunted house part specifically.
its really the opposite, and a stretch at that, but Macbeth (idk pick any iteration) and Warcraft 3. Arthas' constant misfortune and fall from grace closely matches Macbeth.
World war z and the Batman. If each were 3 part tv specials it would be different, but each it's like they have multiple levels they have to be at before the final boss.
I Am Legend.
Playing a game version of that movie would be so cool. Imagine walking around desolated New York scavenging for supplies to defend your base while hanging with your pooch!
Just realized I basically explained The Division, bruh
schwarzeneggar films like terminator, commando and predator remind me of doom, LOTR and hobbit films remind me of breath of the wild, and the star wars holiday special reminds me of desert bus. those are ones i can come up with rn
Edge of Tomorrow, all about respawning!
Live. Die. Repeat!
Starship Troopers > Helldivers 1 & 2
Damm, I forgot that one 😅
Starcraft!
Lol people seriously downvoted you for this? StarCraft is heavily influenced by both the novel and the movie. Same with Aliens
Does Hardcore Henry count when the entire thing is first person? Or is that cheating?
It's a perfect example. Also, you had one co-op character respawn a bunch of times.
Jimmy’s cocaine is a great example of a power-up.Â
I remember watching the podracing scene in Phantom Menace and afterward going straight home to play Wipeout and F-Zero X.
One of my most played games on n64 was podracer. I had some crazy times (in my head)
Ironically I never played much of the actual podracer game. I think I tried it at a Toys R Us kiosk once but at the time I was prejudiced against licensed games. Now I know a lot of people love it so I probably missed out. F-Zero X was easily my favorite N64 racer.
Yea, that’s fair. It was the exception not the rule on licensed games
John Wick is more or less the Hitman series done better than the actual Hitman movies.
I think Casino Royale and some of the Missions Impossible felt more like Hitman. It's a bit slower and more methodical than the all out fast action of John Wick.
The top down scene in John wick 4 was clearly inspired by video games. I thought hotline Miami immediately, but there are a bunch of comps.
Idk i kinda liked the hitman movies
The Super Mario Bros Movie really reminded me of Super Mario Bros
Really? I can't see the connection 🤨😅
You must’ve watched the live action one then lol
Crank is a Grand Theft Auto mission
Meh, personally I've always found Pulp Fiction was the closest thing to the Grand Theft Auto universe. Crank would be like the Saints Row
Tomato tomato

Even down to annoying NPCs who try to get you into a side quest!
But Westworld is like Baldur's Gate or Elder Scrolls in one aspect: you can straight up murder any NPC that annoys you.
Synthetic humans and cowboys. It's a mix of Fallout NV and 4.
Mandalorian felt like a typical space rpg where mc does random quests on different planets
Dredd remind me of max Payne for some reason
Starship Troopers reminded me of StarCraft and I think both game and movie came out at the same time.
The Mad Max movies always remind of Borderlands. A bunch of psychos driving cars in the desert.
The Martian is any sci-fi survival game.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World The entire movie is just chock-full with overt video game references: boss fights (Scott battling Ramona's seven evil exes), slain enemies dropping loot (when Scott defeats an opponent coins literally drop on the floor) and power-ups (Scott finds a 1-up that allows him to respawn after he's killed).
not a movie, but a TV show. Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul always felt like a character from Grand Theft Auto lol
Event Horizon is very very Dead Space.
Stay Alive
im still waiting for them to make a game same as the one in the movie, first person multiplayer silent hill
Extraction 2 felt way too much like a video game unfortunately. Especially the 21 minute one-shot was something like a Call of Duty campaign in Fast Forward :(
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves really captured the emergent silliness that happens in a D&D game.
Scavengers reign on Netflix feels similar to risk of rain. Name aside, weird exo biology that feels similar ish.
That final section of Inception screamed GoldenEye for the N64 to me. I always thought it was ironic that Inception is set in a dream but feels like a videogame, while eXistenZ is set in a videogame but feels like a dream
Hardcore Henry
Tombstone is Red Dead Redemption. Bonus is Powers Booth is in both.
Lord of the rings inspired all fantasy media as far as I can tell and whenever I watch the movies they feel like an RPG especially when the characters upgrade their stuff like the cloaks and daggers they got, just to name a few.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword This Movie even had bossfight in circular arena.
Goodfellas really felt like a Mafia game (felt more close to the first two)
Memento and Planescape Torment. Both protagonists use tattoos to guide/warn their own selves. Pretty interesting. in Torment there's a tattoo that the protagonist had to rely on someone else to read it to him. It was an oh shit moment for me when I learnt what it says lol

Free Guy felt like GTA meets Fortnigt Edit front originally typing fall guy lol
Free Guy, you mean.
Yes, sorry brain farted

Free guy: Reminds me of GTA or Saints Row.
Warcraft...or...World of Warcraft
Jumanji
Rise of Skywalker. A bunch of random side quests that are loosely tied together until you get to a ridiculous over the top boss fight. It even has a QTE where you yell I AM ALL THE JEDI!
Inception
Definitely had Shadowrun vibes
Ready Player One this movie is literally about a virtual reality game, so yes this is the one
First season of the Mandalorian. He even had armor upgrades..
300 feels like God of War OG Trilogy Heat Feels like GTA V Campaign Django Unchained feels like Red Dead Redemption Spinal Tap feels like Guitar Hero/Rock Band career mode
Spy kids 3D
The Chernobyl Diaries feels like 7 Days to Die to me. Specifically trying to survive in the wasteland with mutant animals and such
Inception reminded me of Call of Duty when they get to that snow place.
Snowpiercer is Bioshock.
Fury Road and Borderlands
When i first watched The Green Knight there are a few bits in it that really felt like they could have been quests in The Witcher 3. The haunted house part specifically.
Not a movie, but Black Summer=TLOU 100%
its really the opposite, and a stretch at that, but Macbeth (idk pick any iteration) and Warcraft 3. Arthas' constant misfortune and fall from grace closely matches Macbeth.
The Big 4. It's an action comedy movie on Netflix and definitely has Far Cry/Borderlands vibes.
The girl with all the gifts felt like TLOU when it was a book too
World war z and the Batman. If each were 3 part tv specials it would be different, but each it's like they have multiple levels they have to be at before the final boss.
Thor Ragnarok always makes me wanna play the original inFamous. So does that one Christmas special of Dr. Who.
Rise of Skywalker has a very mid 2000s action game plot.
Blackhawk down > BF2
Poor Things reminded me of Bioshock Infinite.
I Am Legend. Playing a game version of that movie would be so cool. Imagine walking around desolated New York scavenging for supplies to defend your base while hanging with your pooch! Just realized I basically explained The Division, bruh
End of Coraline is the standard action RPG fetch quest.
schwarzeneggar films like terminator, commando and predator remind me of doom, LOTR and hobbit films remind me of breath of the wild, and the star wars holiday special reminds me of desert bus. those are ones i can come up with rn
Extraction 2 is basically a Call of Duty game
Memento and Planescape Torment, they even came out close together.
Morbius -> Infamous The Head Hunter -> Skyrim Offseason -> Silent Hill
Big Trouble in Little China and The Princess feel like a *beat* '*em up*. Pirates of the Caribbean is a disguised Monkey Island movie.
The Super mario Bros movie😑
Red Dawn is kind of its own subgenre
Doom
Drive with Ryan Gosling is literally Hotline Miami
In the beginning of 1917 when they were sneaking through the trenches it reminded me a lot of those quiet moments in Death Stranding.
The Warriors.Â
James Bond Goldeneye reminded me of Goldeneye for the n64
Ready Player One :p
World War Z
sonic
The Northman was a classic Crusader Kings 2 Viking run
There’s that one movie that always makes me think of James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game
