I think this might be one of the dumbest things i've ever heard, and coming from a developer at that. Personally I think video games surpassed movies in story telling. Theres nothing a movie can do that a game can't. |
I agree with him. You can't control the pace of the narration, the player does. And many other bigor small problems for great storytelling. That doesn't mean storytelling is impossible or anything, but it is far more difficult. And if you really think video games surpassed movies in storytelling, then you should put it to the test: make a playthrough video of your favorite video game and then get your friends together to "watch a cool movie" together. Get Popcorn and beer and then let all sit down in front of the TV and you put in the playthrough video. Enjoy!
