| Bodhesatva said: So Pixar thinks that games are cathing movies in terms of graphics, but will never approach film in terms of narration? I totally agree. Games will kick movies' butt in terms of interactivity, though. |
Well, not to crash on Pixar's parade but Videogames and Movies shouldn't have the same type of storytelling/narration, which is common sense if we were to compare different forms of medium (we never compare Narration of Books and Movies, do we?)
As for the Videogame Stories needing work: Bullshit! We have games stories that are as deep and complex as any movie (Planescape: Torment, Deus Ex); stories that make you enjoy every bit of action (Half-Life, Bioshock/System Shock); simple stories that make you feel warm inside (Grim Fandango), Great Comedies (Curse of the Monkey Island, Sam & Max), Gritty Stories (Fallout 1 & 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.), etc...
For every Great Movie Story, there's always a Videogame Counterpart.
