Video game movie adaptations have grown increasingly better over the years. For proof of that, fans need only look to The Last of Us on HBO, Netflix's The Witcher, and even the two Sonic the Hedgehog movies. It's easy to understand the excitement fans felt when they caught wind of a Metal Gear Solid adaptation in the pipeline at Sony. There have been talks of adapting Hideo Kojima's most popular franchise into a movie since 2006, but there was never any traction.
