Late Night Consoling
by Alec Matias, Jun 16, 2005 8:00pm PDTMan, the videogame movie news never stops it seems. The sad part is that no videogame movie has yet "got it right." I'd say the closest we've come is the original Mortal Kombat; it's not like they've had a lot to work with but they made the best of it. Did anyone else feel violated after watching the Super Mario Bros. flick? Holy crap, talk about missing the mark. Seeing King Koopa portrayed as a human being as opposed to a giant fucking fire-breathing turtle had me so angry. Goombas as shrunken heads in trenchcoats? Oh god, what a horrible, horrible flick. I can't think about it anymore. Microsoft, your crazy demands and "Halo Bible" are our last hope!
- The eratic and eclectic Hideo Kojima has gone on record as saying Metal Gear Solid 4 will be a PlayStation 3 exclusive.. or at least that's his plan. "Of course we could port it to other consoles, but doing so would require additional staff and research and development costs. If I were to make games for the Xbox 360 or the [Nintendo] Revolution, I'd rather create original titles that match each console's audience, instead of the Metal Gear Solid series." Kojima then again used his dinner analogy concerning the next-gen consoles.
MGS4 a PS3 Exclusive
[ps2] - Tecmo and Constantin Film AG announced that shooting has begun on the Dead or Alive movie. The shooting will take place in various parts of China under the direction of Cory Yeun, whose past films include Romeo Must Die and The Transporter. The director/writer of the Resident Evil films, Paul W.S. Anderson, is on as a producer but don't worry, Uwe Boll is nowhere to be seen. He's off ruining his latest project; a movie based on Postal.

Also SMB wasn't terrible... I mean look at the source material. It's fucking ridiculous. Perhaps doing it live action was a bad idea from the start, but that was up to Nintendo. As far as making the Mario 'story' plausable and somewhat realistic, they did a decent job with it.
