Indies have been using interactive, integrated storytelling for a long time now (ever play Cave Story? One of the best, integrated stories in games I have ever seen). This isn't some new thing. If you think anything is going to change in the mainstream then I believe you are wrong. It is far easier to tell a story through cutscenes than through gameplay and it is easier to understand for the casual player also.
