The makers of those games are two out of a bunch that have been successful (though I didn't get a feel that either of those were trying to emulate Hollywood). I also didn't say EVERY developer shooting for this was successful. But the industry, as a whole, it isn't falling because of these types of games. It just isn't. They don't even make up 30% of the stuff released. Never mind the fact that we just had one of the most successful generations since its inception, and one of those franchises trying to be like movies is to thank. Now as for your articles, they are mainly using wishful thinking and opinion. When done right (Heavy Rain, Uncharted, The Last Of Us, Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, Call of Duty, etc....), games aiming to be more like movies do just fine. There's your proof. When they are the sole reason for a collapse, indisputably, then get back to me. With the amount of variety there is, this industry isn't going anywhere anytime soon, neither are these types of games, no matter how much you tell yourself otherwsie or try to listen to articles written by people who mimic your stance. Edit: I'll humor you, an article that says much of what I'm saying, while balancing the viewpoints of both of us. After this, it's best to drop it now. You have your view and I have mine (among the fact that we are now completely off-topic). Articles won't change either side, and as long as successes continue to be released, that favor my views, I'll continue to believe what I do and buy these experiences. |
I see the article is about Bioshock: Infinite. And I could give that to someone as being a really good story driven game. I happened to really want to like the world and the game, and I really enjoyed the original Bioshock. Well, what killed me on Infinite was the motion sickeness it generated with me, so I couldn't be able to play it. Of all the things, that did it it.
And note also, I do love the Uncharted series also.
