Most Underrated: LionheadSlyprince

Hilarious, Lionhead gets MORE hype than MOST developers and under delivers in proportion to their hype. Lionhead as underrated? Pass the BONG!

The most overrated developer out there is Bioware.

Bioshock got an exclusivity bill fronted by Microsoft. When the game sells well on both platforms, it will convince Take Two to do a port of the game to the PS3 after the exclusivity period is up. Quote this and hold onto it if you want, but the game WILL come to the PS3.

There is alot of confusion on this thread, so let me set your collective heads straight:

A.) Retro Studios has made two MP games, congratulations. Irrational games has made many successful and innovative titles across a spectrum of genres and sub genres. They have by far a superior track record and have affected more areas of game development than Retro Studios. Retro Studios has fulfilled a niche in Nintendo's console lineup. They are inferior talent with inferior products with little innovation. Their games are simply adventure titles starring a former side scrolling Nintendo heroine.

B.) There was as assumption made in this thread that Bioshock was doing the same old whereas MP 3 was doing something new. Bull**** MP3 is the same Metroid prime that was on the GC except with Wii controls. There is nothing daring or innovative about that, just the obvious. Bioshock involves some of the most complex strategy in FPS games. It's a blend of shooting, role playing, and deductive reasoning. The story in Bioshock sounds like a deep and fulfilling experience whereas the story in Metroid Prime is not interesting at all. Bioshock, technically, mechanically, conceptually is a more innovative and daring title. Gameplaywise, storywise, everythingwise, it takes the cake.

C.) Both games will have fanboy bias smeared across them. Bioshock because it is an "exclusive" Xbox 360 title, and Metroid because it's a Nintendo franchise. However, given the adoration of former average Metroid games, it's clear that the fanboy bias will be stronger with Metroid.

In conclusion, Bioshock will pwn Metroid Prime 3. Unless the Cowboys lose to Reagan middle school's second team.

There are always game to buy on the PS2. It's a neverending stream ofawesome to be honest.

Don't buy either a PS3 or 360. You need an HDTV for a true upgrade and the PS3 doesn't have any games whereas the 360 will break.

Buy SOTC immediately and purge thoughts of Battlefield 2.

The problem has always been with the fact that the Xbox brand was essentially the replacement for PC gaming. Everything about it was an attempt to get certain features of the PC experience down. However, as we are seeing with Japanese games and certain XBLA games, there are some things that just aren't coming to the PC. Moreover, if the PS3 keeps getting gimped or inferior third party titles then that means more added value on the Xbox brand. And, unlike last generation, when the PS2's exclusives overrode the importance of Xbox's superior multilpats, there are very few exclusives to go around.

So, of course, the burden is on Sony's machine. If it can deliver more than the Xbox 360 then owning a 360 will surely become a bad idea in the coming years. However, if the PS3 fails to perform, then it will be caught in the middle of the Wii, 360, and PC.

Of course, the PS3 is seeing strong Japanese support from critical developers. That might factor into the argument.
