The film industry has one resource the games industry generally lacks, and that's good writers. The games industry has great designers, programmers, there are tonnes of skilled visual artists and access to good actors usually(who often seem like poor actors due to poor writing). But excellent writers are few and far between. It may simply be that writing for a film is a different skill than writing for a game, due to the writer not having the same control over context etc., but I'm more inclined to believe that games designers more often feel that they are good writers themselves when really they should be hiring proffesionals. |
I can't believe I didn't put writers in my earlier post! DOH!!!! I do feel like you hit the nail on the head. While some games do have a decent story/plot and characters, most still are average at best. And if having a better plot/story envolves getting better writers from Hollywood or wherever I am all for it.
Call me a sell out.
