I'd say in most cases a lot of the "decision makers" working on the a given game film are still grapling with how a game works let a lone how it is made. This is why you get people like Roger Ebert talking so much crap about games and then praising something like Avatar which uses the exact same 3D software.
The truth is, once Hollywood grabs that license they don't care what happens afterwards they have already estimated how much money they are going to make by cashing in on a familliar name instead of making their own.
Movies like Resident, Super Mario Brothers, and Chun Li, kind of prove my point. Speciffically, think about Jill Valentine in the RE games compared to the RE movies...They share no resemblence.
When those game-adaptations that have been blown out of context fail than other directors come along and try to copy games stitch for stitch...Look at that crappy Tekken film as an example.
For better game-movie adaptaions to exist I tihnk a good deal of Hollywood needs to get off their high horse and give games a little more respect.
Resident Evil 1 and 2 had a great story line. I would have loved to see reincarnations of those as films done well. When has the hero of any Resident Evil story ever been super human with psi powers?(well i dont know about 4). Even earlier I think plenty of Super NES games had great stories too. Not to mention all the great games that are out now.
True, a lot of games do have simple stories - but movie companies don't care. That's why someone bought the rights to Asteroids and I kid you not the film is in production. Once they have that license its just business as usual - look for the next big franchise to try and turn another quick buck. The movie industry sees games making money and they want a peice of the action without putting in the work. Clear and simple.
In my opinion thats why game movies suck.
Now things are a little more dier for them so they will try a little harder - for example the new prince of persia movie.
