Why David Jaffe is Correct About Games Not Telling Good Stories

Slashgamer Writes: On occasion, Jaffe says somethings on his website and gets the video game world all riled up and he has done it again.

This time, the designer said that video games have yet created a story that is comparable to other mediums. He even concludes that maybe the gaming industry will never be able to match them.

"Overall, I feel the medium is either not capable of creating and sustaining deep emotions or we have simply not come close to understanding how to do it on a consistent basis. I am open to it, but I'm just being honest with how I feel about the current state of storytelling in gameplay."

We read and talked to some people about what he has said and for the most part, gamers strongly disagrees with him. However, I am in the minority; I in fact think Jaffe is 100% right." (Culture, Nintendo DS, PS3, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360)
