Miyamoto: 'What can games learn from film? Nothing'

A surprisingly small minded view coming from someone so creative.

Gaming is an expansion medium for entertainment; there's room for all kinds of games. Some people enjoy games like Heavy Rain that try to immerse them in a story. Some just want something like Mario, LBP or Viva Pinata that they can just jump into and enjoy. Others want games like MGS or TLOU, that have a bit of both.

As long as it's something people enjoy, it's worth making. I don't have much time for those that believe the world should warp itself to be exactly to their liking.

100% agreed!

Like when I saw that part of how he never saw games as a means for story telling, I just scratched my head. I understand their emphasis on gameplay, but having deep emersive storytelling in games is ANOTHER medium in gaming that people have come to enjoy. Games have evolved over the years, where a lot of people crave story telling in their games. While I still beleive gameplay is the most important aspect, story telling shouldn't be this overlooked.
