| ReimTime said: Good points. I chose TLOU and FFX because they did a great job of inobtrusively nosing the player in one direction. True, a movie can do many things that a book and game cannot. But I prefer those three mediums to be separate and distinct anyway. |
True, thinking further on it Books is the only medium that can really make me feel fear to the point of oncomming panic. I'm claustrofobic and while it never bothers me in movies or games, books can really get to me. (Burried alive in the girl with the dragon tattoo that was very heard to read, and btw the movie adaptation is awful) Yet books have never been able to make me cry which some movies have accomplished and some games have made me tear up.
Anyway yes, reading an orginal screenplay sucks. Movie adaptations of books (and videogames) always lose a lot in the process. And games trying to be movies only get sabotaged by the gameplay with some exceptions. It seems a protective role works best for movie + game marriage. Like TLOU, The walking dead and Ico.
