This is going in my Favorites so I can smear it in Patryn's smug face.

Kojima is the greatest man in video games.

Man, Uwe is dumb. It looks like he's HAPPY to get a Razzie. It's like he's TRYING to make terrible movies.

Kojima should just send out a picture of Snake giving the finger to Boll.

Re: Eat that, Boll

Konami has creative control of the MGS movie? And they've had a hand in the Silent Hill movie...

Is it possible the company could help raise video game movies to a level of acceptableness?

Re: Eat that, Boll

I'm simultaneously hoping so and hoping that they don't.

I mean, look at it this way: There's this underground band that you've liked for years. You swear that they are the greatest thing, but then they get a contract with a major label, and suddenly EVERYONE likes them. Now that thing you felt belonged to you, suddenly belongs to everyone, and as a result, you stop liking the band, maybe(most likely, in fact) because they've changed to suit this new audience.

That's how I feel about it. Or maybe it's just rambling.

Re: Eat that, Boll

that doesnt make much sense. people who hate things just because they're popular are pretty dumb.

just think. increased popularity, increased sales, more reason for the company to continue the series, and with a bigger budget (resulting from higher sales) as well.

Re: Eat that, Boll

I get pissed when my favorite bands hit it big, because I have to deal with a bunch of idiots who now are their "biggest" fans.

[Riotsword]

Re: Eat that, Boll

Maybe I worded that wrong. I mean to say that you stop liking something, not merely because it's popular, but because they've changed so much to please everyone that you stop liking them because you feel like they're not even the same band anymore.

Also, Caciss helped to make my point beautifully.

Re: Eat that, Boll

Riot and Caciss have a point. Like since the X-Men movie came out every X-Men comic book except Astonishing is patterned more after the movie than the books themselves. It's annoying. Hopefully that won't happen with videogames but it's very possible it might.

It's like he's TRYING to make terrible movies.

He is. It's a lot easier to throw together a crap movie and collect on the tax writeoff when it bombs than to try and make a good movie and hope it turns a profit.

I don't think that's true at all. From all the interviews with him that I've read it looks like he really belives that his movies are great films and he's being a product of predujice.
