I think people still want games that are groundbreaking...We're hopefully going to prove that there's also a very big audience for people who want entertainment in another form, who think of games as being a narrative device that can challenge movies." http://kotaku.com/386573/rockstars-houser-+-fuck-casual-gaming
Sam houser is Rockstar VP and GTA IV co-writer |
Sam Houser is being an idiot, just like many other videogame writers who still try to make a cinematic story rather than a true interactive story. Houser is still hung up on an arcaic concept.
Planescape: Torment was the best Story ever concieved in a videogame, and it was mostly non-linear and a true masterpiece. No other videogame story has ever approached that level of quality, not even close.
Game writers should stop trying to achieve a linear cinematic experience. A true interactive story is the best.
