Halo, BioShock — I see their approach and I think they are brilliant in some ways, but I still feel they still lack a kind of a deeper storyline or the expression of the feelings of the characters. I do have plans of how I should approach this and get around it. In MGS4, yes, I put everything in the cut sequences, which I kind of regret to some extent, because maybe there is a new approach which I should think about. I'm always thinking about it - making it interactive but at the same time telling the story part and the drama even more emotionally. I would like to take that approach, which I am still working on.
...Storytelling is very difficult. But adding the flavor helps to relay the storytelling, meaning in a cutscene, with a set camera and effects, you can make the users feel sorrow, or make them happy or laugh — this is an easy approach, which we have been doing. That is one point, the second point is that if I make multiple storylines and allow the users to select which story, this might really sacrifice the deep emotion the user might feel; when there's a concrete storyline, and you kind of go along that rail, you feel the destiny of the story, which at the end, makes you feel more moved. But when you make it interactive — if you want multiple stories where you go one way or another — will that make the player more moved when he or she finishes the game? These two points are really the key which I am thinking about, and if this works, I think I could probably introduce a more interactive storytelling method. He kinda regrets the long cutscenes, but he is still trying to defend it. Thoughts? |
Kojima ALWAYS says something to this effect a few months after each MGS game is released.
He's full of shit, its just PR. Doesn't everyone know this...."I'm not happy with how the game turned out..."....blah blah.
Well don't fucking make us buy 4 iterations of a game you know is shit!. You've got a bloody nerve to do so and don't deserve the pedestal that everyone places you on.
THAT would be my answer if he was speaking the truth...It doesn't really mean anything though, just a load of bs.
