There are decisions in life that are nearly impossible to make, like asking a parent to choose their favorite child, or deciding which is better, chocolate or vanilla. Such a mountain will be climbed today in this very article. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is the latest entry in one of Nintendo's many long-running series. It's a fantastic game - as our 9.5 review score would have you believe - that delivers awesome action and a control scheme that has many thinking that the Wii could be the future destination of choice for the hardcore FPS gamers out there.

Then there is Microsoft's approach which is just to piss in the wind and 95% of their stuff turns out bad. Developers might like that personally but you'll be out of a job quicker than you know it through badly shipped products.
First party Nintendo titles are held to a specific standard for a reason. It could be argued that both Sony and MS could benefit from doing the same, but you are right with MS nonchalant approach and "it scored well internally" and then putting out something like Redfall. Even Halo, MS' flagship series, wasn't overseen with the fine tooth comb to ensure it was top notch quality.
Nintendo first party games are very rarely duds, let alone non functional ones. You don't get that without a little (or a lot) of micromanaging. Is it annoying? No doubt. Their track record speaks for itself though and you can't deny that.
I think there is good evidence for both sides of that argument, really.
Japan Studio didn't have much oversight and that studio produced pure magic. Financially, it wasn't a cash cow studio, but I sense that anyone who played their games really felt the care and passion for their creation at work. Media Molecule is another one. I personally feel that Sony and Microsoft micromanagement tends to be overly negative. It might work for Nintendo because they're big on making a fun and engaging game first and entice people that way.
Sony as of late and Microsoft for at least two generations now, when they get into the micromanagement, it seems like a profoundly anxious experience.
i dunno if i agree with that.
i think some leeway is necessary to achieve atleast some sort of spectacle.

Console Creatures writes, "The BioShock film at Netflix is still happening but with a reduced budget."
Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.
It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.
i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.
but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story
Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.
its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix
I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
Thanks for approving an IGN Insider article, guys.
Real psyched about the whole "not being able to read it" thing.
Since I can't read it, I'll assume MP3 is the better game for one simple reason.
You've never heard anything bad about MP3. The day after Bioshock came out, you heard nothing good about it, and two days after, you heard nothing about it.
Yeah, sure the Bioshock ordeal had to do with everything but the actual game, but since I can't read it, I have to assume. Oh well.
all a ploy to try and make you and insider, tricky IGN bast****s trying to take our money. BEGONE!!
LOL! That made me fall out of my chair..
I've not played MP3 but I have seen a ton of video on it.. I'm sorry but I couldn't disagree more with this viewpoint. As a harcore FPS gamer, if I'm not playing my games in at least 720p HD you can forget it.. That's the reason I don't play FPS on my PSP.. Once you go HD you don't go back baby!
I can't believe everyone thinks Metroid is that great. Back when the original came out, it was nice for its time. Beautiful graphics that pushed the limit of the gamecube, epic story line and good gameplay. Now its nothing special. There should be no contest here. Bioshock is pushing the limits of technology and has a deep in depth "fresh" story. MP3 is more of the same. Its good for the Wii but come on. Bioshock is a breath of fresh air for hardcore gamers everywhere. When a small development house puts out such an amazing game, you can only imagine what is possible if the "big guns" work on something this epic. Wii is not the future of fps. PC will always be the king. Next up might be 360 if they would ever allow Kb/Mouse. I can't believe IGN is using this to get subscriptions. Its a no contest and Bioshock takes it in every way. It could even be the game of the year. And yes, I am a PS3 fanboy and I'm very upset I can't play Bioshock. I could just get it on the PC but its not the same for me. I've played it on my brothers 360 and it blew me away.
