its crap especially when u consider ALL movies these days, including horrors, are edited and ruined to be mass consumed PG kiddy films. Its a pretty stupid comment but really goes to show just how much the propaganda system has ruined the Wii's reputation.

Of course the opposite of all this is confidence in the inability for MS or Sony to ever sell any game or movie that doesn't fit their very very very narrow criteria for a "core product". And believe me its narrow, selling Natal to this audience is going to be tough.


Gamers know what they want and gernally speaking that is who owns PS3s and 360s

That is his opinion. I disagree with it, but he is allowed to have one.

Honestly the fewer movie games the better, the last game to be good based on a movie is Chronicles of Riddick and it's not one that follows the movies or released with the movies so it had its own development cycle and meant to be a real effort.

Honestly though who cares that a movie company would rather invest in a HD movie game that will likely not sell much/be a terrible game like most movie games and cost them more to develop?

People insult what they don't understand and look foolish.

And given the statement, Lionsgate not only does not seem to understand video games, but it does not seem to understand movies as well.

PS -- If you want a movie that breaks all the rules, Transformers is it. Big money but poor reviews (sounds like a lot of Wii games). Violent but being marketed toward children (sounds like a reason for a Congressional hearing but they are too busy looking into video games -- or it sounds like play sessions on Xbox Live (or maybe people just act like/sound like children with their cursing and other improper comments -- take your pick)

I did, mass market movies to Wii cause of the mass market appeal action games to PS3/360 cause the consoles are totally hardcore.

I was just commenting that the fewer movie games the better :P I personally hope they think it's too expensive to make so many HD games and cut most of those out and then don't produce Wii movie games cause they don't think they'll sell in the end getting rid of the movie games.  If you're going to make a game based off a movie IP give it to a team that make great games and give them the rights to make their own story and not have to release with the movie.

It's not the opinion. It's the facts claimed in the opinion. If a guy says he likes apples more than oranges because oranges are not sweet, that would make the opinion wrong, because sweet is an objective thing the taste buds sense.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

The movie thing is a metaphor. It's not about licensed games.
