Maybe someone will make a movie with three scenes: The bank robbery, the coffee conversation, and the airplane field. Done. Oh, and throw in Ashley Judd. The world needs more Ashley Judd.

@LetItRane: I can see the coffee conversation now as a quicktime event. "Dude, you didn't hit the X, X, LT, Y, B combo fast enough and you got stared down! Hard!"

Seriously, though, this could be a pretty cool game. Choose career path Criminal or Cop and play out different scenes on either side. Breaking into banks, big heists, car chases. The game would HAVE to deviate from the plot of the movie, but playing the bank robber scene would be AWESOME.

Then again, there's a killer bank robbery scene in GTA: Chinatown Wars that reminded me an awful lot of the Heat bank robbery. Maybe I've already played the best part of a Heat game?

Deniro should have killed Pacino. Not the other way around.

Other than the bank robbery scene I don't know that much else of the movie really lends itself to a game. It could be a pretty intense game if done right. I think a developer like Infinity Ward could pull it off. Gearbox is also a decent choice.

Maybe instead of doing it as a big disc based release they should just turn it into a download only multiplayer title where one team tries to shoot their way out of a bank (and a few other levels please) while the police team tries to stop them. The teams could be asymmetrical where the bad guys have better armor and firepower, but can't respawn (or maybe have a longer respawn delay). The cops wouldn't be as well equipped, but they could respawn (or respawn quicker).

I agree, the market is too saturated with the Mafias, the Scarfaces, the GTAs, the Wheelmans, the Sam Fishers and Bonds to cockblock any shred of unique innovation left for this IP.

But one of the best fucking shootout scenes in a movie ever, it was JUST LIKE A VIDEOGAME.

I would but a guy told me one time don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner...

ha!
