I've talked to people in the business: it doesn't matter how good the script is. No script ever comes out the same way it went in. This movie will be awful for the same reason every other VG movie is awful: because Hollywood doesn't take this crap with even the slightest hint of seriousness. A Metroid movie would suck, a MGS movie would suck and this movie WILL suck. I'm not trying to troll here. I'm dead serious when I say that getting your hopes up for this will only disappoint you THAT much more in the end.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
