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

Most video game designers suck at writing a story. 

If they could write a great story, why wouldn't they be working in Hollywood doing blow off three hot girls every night? It's because they don't have that level of talent. So they're working in a rinky dink game studio next to 300 pound "Billy" for 14 hours a day. 

That doesn't make sense. Hollywood isn't were great writers strive to be, to prove they are great writers.

Any talented writer would choose a gig at a movie studio or TV studio over a freaking video game company. Lets be real. 

If you put the Metal Gear Solid story onto film in a literal, point-by-point sense it would get laughed out of the theaters.

If you were say a incredibly talented basketball player, would you rather play in the NBA or some crappy D-league in Turkey? 

People who have (real) talent in storytelling will always be drawn first and foremost to options outside of video games.
