Ubisoft launches studio to make its games into movies, TV shows

Game to movie thing sounds kinda cool, would probably make it better if they guys making the game are making the movie also. My concern is pushing back release dates because the are going the movie at the same time.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad Idea, remember Doom? We have a hard enough time coming up with good ideas, last thing we need is to spend energy on turning the bad ones into movies. What ever story it is, it should stick to it's original medium.

Doom really didn't have much of a story to it though from what I remember. All the "story" text they give you in the first several games could fit on one typed sheet of paper. They didn't really have much to work with IMO.

I think games with deeper story like Assassin's Creed to Splinter Cell would be able make a much better movie.

I can see someone making that point. I just don't want to see them same thing they do when turning a book into a movie. So much is left out and they are aimed at people who already know the story. LOTR is a good example
 
If am not mistaking there is already a show from assasin creed called "assasin creed lineage"
 
I think if the people that made the bourne ultimatum and new batman movies did the splintercell and assassins creed projects.. they would kick some majore *****. I dont know how lame games have already been made into movies when these two franchises have had major success as games, and have excellent plots that could lead to many movies down the road.
