I understand what he's saying but there's nothing wrong with variety. I enjoy his games but I still enjoy other ones that stray away from story and focus on fun gameplay mechanics. All in all having variety is healthy for the industry.

Agree with you 100%. That's great if that's his personal aim for his games but I'm very thankful for diversity. Sometimes I want to just play games for the sheer challenge of compelling gameplay. Sometimes the best feelings I get from gaming come from personally overcoming a huge challenge.

I appreciate his way of thinking, but surely it's possible to provide both?

Anyway, I'm glad that Detroit is going back to the format of having multiple playable characters format, like with Heavy Rain and Fahrenheit. The game already looks amazing. Can't imagine how it will look on the Pro, especially at a supersampled 1080p.

Just not from him apparently.

It would seem that that rather than make a movie, which doubtlessly involves logistical and resource issues, he's taken the argumentative route of making a game that's meant to be played like a movie. Which is all well and good until he says everyone should do the same.

That's when you say "f*** that guy."

Put a VR support on Detroit and I'm definitely in.

The millions that games like Monster Hunter and Pokemon make prove otherwise.

The cathartic feeling one gets from slaying a ferocious mythical beast after a long struggle is a great 'feeling' that is acquired by what the players 'do'. This doesn't mean that there cant be a hybrid of narrative 'feeling' and interactive 'feeling'. I personally would lean more towards the interactive side though. I don't want to play an 'interactive movie'. Id much rather play a really fun game and be treated to a nice cinematic movie at certain intervals.

platinum games' games say otherwise... gameplay rules first and foremost in video games.
