So sad...
I would have liked the movie better if it was about loosers who form fight clubs because they have nothing better to do, like the marketing made the movie appear, instead of the yucky minded guy starting a cult. Some parts would be relatively better than others if a game had to be made, though nothing in that movie is quite worth making a game of in my opinion. Round one: Jose from McDonalds vs Bill from the mail room.
Jose "I hate McDonalds, let's fight."
Bill "In a several years I will claw my way into middle management, but first I will claw you. Also, I hate my job."
Jose "Deep frier kiiiick!"
Bill "Packaging bubble wrap counter!"
Who could be a good boss in a game like this...
Dude, with dialog with this, who cares if the game engine sucks. Well. No.
But I'm kinda weird. I'm the type of guy who likes games set in realistic settings with realistic objectives. Not life simulations. Not Sim* games either. Sorta like Shenmue, but fun. I mean, basically take your favorite RPG system or fighting engine and stick a real world, real life story and setting in it.
Sorta. Hard to explain. But I think it could work if you tried.
And I've nevered played Shenmu (boring) or GTA-VC (overhyped violence).
Anyway, Def Jam Vendetta has a somewhat similar premise (underground fighting) and that was a fun/great game. But then, it was co-developed by Aki, the masters of wrestling games.
Bored? "160"

Talked about this on other boards, but it's kind of a moot point since all American made fighting games are terrible and I doubt this will change any time soon.
It also can't possibly be worse than Tao Feng.
MK:DA isn't terrible.
horribly rushed feeling; yes, but by no means terrible. I mean if you can call Tekken "good" or "not that horrible" there's no way you can call MK:DA anything less then "not bad, but not great either." (okay, to Tekken's credit it had nicer character animation AND graphics.)
it has some good ideas that if they had polished could have set a new trend in fighting games, maybe MK6 will fix MK:DA's mistakes and people will finally give then new MK a little respect. (of course just to editorialize that will never happen. "Fighting Fans" hate MK because of MK3 and because MK4 wasn't any better, so MK:DA's improvements are ignored and if MK6 magically topped VF4 in terms of depth it would always be considered shit, and "MK Fans" tend to not care about gameplay, if Baraka, Noob, Hornbuckle, and every character they hear a rumor about aren't actually in the game then it sucks.)
On Subject:
I liked Fight Club, not in the "OMG! This movie is right to hate coperate America! FUCK BIG BUSINESS! AnArChY Rulzzzz!!!" way but in the "well that was an interesting if not mindless film"
The game seems pretty dated now though so it had better be pretty damn impressive in terms of gameplay...
actually wouldn't it make more sense for the game to rip-off GTA3 and have fighting be a bonus mode? Seems that fits the scheme of the story better.
...in Intro to Computer Animation we watched Fight Club, and at the scene where Tyler tells the group "Your homework assignment is to start a fight with a random person" the teacher yelled out to the class "Yeah, that's your homework assignment too!"... it's one of those "you had to be there" mouments, I know, but still it was funny... and basically that's the sort of mission you could get in a Fight Club GTA3 game!
I honestly can't see the movie working as a fighter without a story mode or something, and even then they'd need to invent backstories for everyone besides Edward Norton's character.... I guess there could be a story mode were you just play as him and Brad Pitt and a crappy "Arcade" mode with no story or endings that let's you be everyone else, but that's the lame road to take.
At any rate they need to improve the backgrounds. Fight Club can't just be two guys whaling on it each other... it has to be two guys whaling on each other with a crowd watching. If the graphics are going to be that sloppy there had better be a crowd of cheering spectators in the final game eating up the rest of the polygons.
Most importantly though, is MeatLoaf playable and
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
Is Tyler a like a second costume for "Narrator" (sorry, couldn't find his name on the IMDb... maybe his name is Jack, unless that's a different/new character)? Or is that plot point going to be ignored so it doesn't seem like some crazy mirror match to have them fight each other?

Take away from it what you want, but you have to admit that the book/film actually said something and wasn't just another mindless piece of fluff. It's a rarity: an art-house film with a budget and big-name actors.
I definitely agree with OYashiro (haven't read the book, though, talking about the movie only here), it was very good, very well done and, indeed, quite a rarity.
On a side OT note, precisely because of this movie The Panic Room disappointed me a bit. Not because it was bad (no way) but because it was a "normal" thriller, and it didn't have a "surprise ending". And I had higher expectations.

One of the great aspects of the movie is that they managed to go all through it without even mentioning the name of the main character, who's referred as 'Jack' only by the makers of the movie. You know, they had to call him someway, although they usually call him Ed, more than Jack, but obviously because they're refering to the actor.This is another thing this game spoils, Norton's character should be called 'Narrator' as you say it. And, from the pics I'd say that they're gonna ignore that plot aspect of the movie about Tyler, and I'll tell you more, as someone has already said, I'm starting to be afraid they'll be the only playable characters, as in AOF
