no...the experience can never be recreated the same way; even if the movie is good, it can never have that feeling. Its like making a movie adaption of Rembrandt's paintings or Mozart's Fantasia in D minor. Its just not the right medium for the idea, unless it is twisted and changed beyond recognition.
@Double_Wide - the problem actually is that Sony isn't as forthcoming as Microsoft when it comes to Indie games, like grim0187 said. In Super Meat Boys case, Microsoft offered them a much better deal in exchange for exclusivity, and Sony's licensing fee would on the other hand make indie devs pay form their own pockets initially, which is a bit crazy considering they don't have a budget approved by a board of directors or whatever and they actually pay dev costs form their own pockets. They did nothing wrong, its sony's fault for not being flexible enough. In fact I find some of Sony's recent moves to be questionable; like for instance their recent decision of adding unlockable content in every first party game, which would force gamers to buy unused games just so they can use the passcode to access some of the content, Like UC3's multiplayer for instance.
@Double_Wide - its not that the devs are against sony, its just that M$ made better moves in terms of downloadable games. Super meat boy could have been released on Ps3 but sony simply wasn't interested. Braid is already on the ps3, but I dont know why Fez isn't on ps3, though it probably has to do with the fact that M$ is extremely focused on its XBLA content and has made aggressive moves to ensure it doesnt lose out on exclusive downloable games, since they've already lost the battle for better exclusive retail titles. That's how I see it.
@TroubleMaker411 - well said, I completely agree. This article is extremely unprofessional. Besides, this incident is nothing compared to the crap that really hurts the industry. Video game "journalists" cant be trusted anymore with their reviews, developers (almost all of them) go out of the way to employ cheap tactics so they can suck the lifeblood out of the consumers; the kind of cheap tactics their PR teams employ to influence ratings is a problem that has already been highlighted by people like Greg Kasavin. Compared to that, this is nothing.
