| chocoloco said: I'm scared of change. Come on people can any one here really agree on what the hollywoodation of games actually means. I'm loving this Gen so if you think hollywoodization means making games like the 360 and PS3 than I love it! |
Well I can't speak for everyone here but to ME at least, it means games developers putting further emphasis on narrative, cinematics, cutscenes, graphics, dialouge, etc, and (usually) making the actual GAMEPLAY mechanics and freedom of choice within the game suffer as a result.
So what you're generally left with is an epic game story and graphic wise, with overly complex control schemes, but when boiled down to its gameplay essence, it is highly linear, simplified, and limited. I find more and more games falling victim to this trend. To put simply, you are taking in the experience imposed upon you by the developer, rather than creating your own experience, which IMO is what a game SHOULD be about.
