S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series is based on the book "roadside picnic" by Strugatski brothers
Shadowrun is also very close to William Gibson’s Sprawl Trilogy, starting with Neuromancer.
Where’s HALO!!!!!!!!!!?????
You just butchered Witcher and Andrzej Sapkowski
no Dante’s inferno? 🙁
Btw. Alvin from TW1 isn’t as shitty of a character as you might think. You remember the Grand Master of the Order of the Flaming Rose, Jacques de Aldersberg, don’t you? 😉
Spec Ops: The Line! based on the novel Heart of Darkness by Josef Conrad. two of my favorite games and books
I like you lists, for some reason I don’t mind listening to you hmmm lol
No Betrayal at Krondor.
Okay so you forgot games like sherlock holms or Dante’s inferno. I get it they aren’t just based off books but directly tied to them but to forget bioshock and it’s being based off of ayn rands book atlas shrugged is too impressive to miss the way that bioshock brings to life the books story of a city fallen from grace with the added commentary against religion, communism, politics, humanity and morality. simply put bioshock would not have been bioshock without atlas shrugged
No Bloodborne? The game was entirely inspired by Lovecrafts novels
Interesting that you didn’t include American McGee’s Alice and its sequel, even if they deviate and expand a bit on the lore from the books. Cool to learn about the original Assassin’s Creed being based on a book.
man, :/ kinda surprised to not hear anything about Dante’s Inferno
Aw sweet. I’m playing the first Witcher game because right after starting wild hunt I felt like I was missing a lot of lore. And now there are books that fill the amnesia gap? Thank you.
This video need more S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Stalker? Dante’s Inferno? American McGees Alice? Silent Hill 2?
Metro <3
I first underrated it myself ._.
no dantes inferno?
Suikoden?
How about Lord of the Rings and ArcheAge
lord of the rings, dantes inferno, bioshock… etc.
why werent those in there.
Gears of war ?
Dude how do not add THE GODFATHER!!!!!!
Novel >>>>> Light novel
Video games based on novels: Metro, Witcher
Video games based on Mangas: Initial D PS2, Wangan Midnight PS2
Video games based on Light novels: NONE.
I had no idea the Witcher was based on a book series. Now I have something new to read.
Oh, and No Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy from Infocom? That is perhaps the greatest text adventure ever made.
Where is the silver eyes
One of my favorite games as a child was Dune: Battle for Arrakis on the Genesis, and I’ll give you three guesses what one of my favorite book series is. It also is responsible for my appreciation for RTS games.
unsubscribed because no mein kampf
Very disappointed you didnt include S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in with the same creators of Metro 2033 as it was much more interesting. Stalker was based on a movie called Stalker which was based on the book Roadside Picnic. Very disappoint…
So glad you included Metro
no discworld and no lord of the ring? who doesnt know those books…
Heart of Darkness inspiring both Spec Ops the Line and Far Cry 2? That’s the only one I see missing at first glance.
Tales of phantasia was sort of based on a novel and by novel I mean unpublished manuscript called Tale Fantasia, seriously this thing was never published before the game came out and there are no details on it. The closest things we get of the original manuscript were the Tales of Phantasia game as well as Tales of Symphonia which is a distant prequel to Phantasia, a prequel novel concerning some world building elements that were in the original Tale Fantasia, and the Tales of Phantasia sequel games that foddle around with Phantasia’s backstory.
No S.T.A.L.K.E.R but you have metro 2033 ?
I would have expected the wheel of time in this list.
Shadowrun was not a table top it was a RPG
I love Call of Cthulu, i nearly lost my sanity myself, playing it lol.
I find the lack of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. disturbing…
What about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
i dont know any of
these
h. ellison is my favourite of all time his work is insane
Your voice is so fucking soothing.
Dune?
ice wind dale is loosely based off of legend of drizzits
No game of thrones ok
Neuromancer, 1988, based on the William Gibson novel of the same name. Great old school adventure game.
Where is Spec=ops the line? based on ‘Heart of Darkness’?
halo?
Everytime I hear CreepsMcSexyvoice talk, I feel like creaming my desk.
This just made me want to play the Witcher series all the more. Also, as I am an avid reader, I will have to look for "The Last Wish" as well!
