MWEB Gamezone writer Zubayr Bhyat explores one of the key aspects ignored by many game developers that could've brought many a game into brilliance: Storytelling
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.
Atlantic City - America’s Playground is the dark and dramatic sequel to the glitz and glam of Atlantic City – Boardwalk Paradise.
One of the surprise games coming out of PAX East 2024 is Pocket Trap's Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo. A "Zelda-like", the game mixes overhead dungeons and exploration with a great cast and a genius hook: a yoyo.
Such a lovely article! I agree entirely. Although as I said yesterday, I went into games like COD thinking "I'm here to kill things" and then ended up weeping a bit as the story unfolded because I am lame xD
I find it amazing so many developers don't invest more into good storytelling. So many good stories invest into our imagination and inspire.
Great read, games like Dear Esther and To the Moon filled me with wonder. Storytelling is a vital aspect of player immersion for me, more so than good graphics and action.
With all the flashy graphics nowadays, its seems that a lot of developers forget storyline and its so important. Nice article. I hope more devs read it to remind themselves of paying attention to this part of a game. I want to be entertained and immersed in a game, not just drool over the pretty graphics, which normally lasts 5 minutes.
@TongkatAli - Must check that out. Enjoyed Wall-E so may look at that.
Speaking of which, Wall-E was another great piece of storytelling done brilliantly.
