| Words Of Wisdom said: Saying this is like saying books are "behind" compared to movies. One is not strictly better than the other as you can do things in each medium you can't in the other. It just comes down to personal preference which you prefer. |
What a lot of people are talking about is how story integrates in one medium as opposed to another. A weak way to run a movie story is to paste pages of text on the screen to tell you what they are incapable of showing you. With games, "showing you" can be done in different games, since you can actually participate in the story rather than merely watching it.
I think his point is that simply pasting some rendered movie into a game is an obsolete method. It's a lazy method, and it's a sloppy method. It's old timey and qaint. Rather than showing us clips of the story, let us play the story.
