Zelda botw is a bit story driven( not much)

Ratchet and clank is yes, and so is the last guardian, even lbp has a story mode.

 

Both ninty and sony creates a lot of good and interesting games,noo need for hate.

 

Gt is not story driven btw,

I wholeheartedly agree that both companies make good games - no hate coming from me.

My issue lies with those that lazily write off Nintendo's entire output.

They create a huge variety of games in terms of style/genre/feel at a generally high level of quality - so there'll be something for the vast majority of the market to enjoy.

Would you say that Ratchet & Clank & LBP are more story driven than Zelda?

The Last of Us or Uncharted is what I thought a previous commenter meant by narrative driven / cinematic experiences. I don't see R&C or LBP falling into that category - though again, I could be wrong.

I mean, Oddysey has a story - but I wouldn't call it a narrative driven game...

Ratchet and Clank is as much story driven and cinematic as Uncharted. There even is a movie based on the original game on which the game is based on. They even share cutscenes. LBP, Driveclub and GTS don't have a story or one better than Oddysey. But I said there where a few exceptions.

 

To answer your question I played quite a few zelda's but none of them are really story driven or cinematic unlike Ratchet and Clank which is very story driven. As for Sony and narrative or story driven games this gen alone:

Horizon Zero Dawn

Until Dawn

Uncharted 4 and Uncharted lost legacy.

Ratchet and Clank

The Order 1886

The Last Guardian

Infamous Second Son

Killzone Shadow fall (the story was horrendous for Killzone standards and unfinished but it defenitly is ahead of other shooters).

This year we will get Spiderman which will be very much story driven. Detroit beyond human, God of War, Days Gone (which has hours of cutscenes according to dualshockers). So yes I would daresay most Sony games are story and presentation driven that's just their style.
