Killergran said: You're evil, Khuutra, messing with me like that. I would argue that Portal is as far we have come today. It's a story that is played, rather than passivly observed. But I haven't finished Shadow of the Colossus... But, again, let's hope that Heavy Rain can push storytelling forward. Let's hope that it offers more than the interactive dramas of the past. |
I wouldn't say portal is as far as we have come. Half life 2 is told in the same way (but more exciting in the beginning)
Honestly when i started portal.. i hated it.. i really thought it was awesome in the end though XD .. but still... boring beginning in my opinion.
In either case, i think games like doom 3 and half life 2 are equally positioned with portal ... storytelling wise. Now i'm not saying they have great stories (well half life 2 has a really big universe but doom 3 is more simplified with the whole.. "go kill zombies.. and .. oh .. try to survive" thing they got going.
I also think there are other games that take it further.. without wanting to specify from the top of my head :p
