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.

This.

Games like TLOU and MGS elevated gaming and made gamers actually 'feel' something. It added a whole nother dimension. One that was never experienced whilst Mario was saving the princess. Both directions have their place in gaming but to exclude one and basically say it has zero merit is ignorant. Probably why Nintendo have been tanking...
