InsightBits writes, "It's an easy enough question: Why do we compare games to films? And is that the correct perspective on which to judge gaming´s worth as an entertainment medium?
After reading recent reviews of games such as Uncharted 2, the general consensus is that "it´s like playing an action movie!" , which seems to me an unfair comparison. When I watch a film, I am an outside observer, watching tightly scripted events unfold in front of me, portrayed by (usually) skilled actors who bring life to their roles. However, as a gamer, I am expected to take centre stage and control events around me, bringing life to someone else´s vision, and this is where I think the comparison falls flat."
Remedy and Tencent announced today the cancellation of the cooperative multiplayer game known as Project Kestrel (formerly Vanguard) to focus on Alan Wake and Control.
Hades 2 developer Suoergiant Games has possibly hinted at future DLC in what would be another departure from tradition for the developer.
Charles Cecil has revealed that the upcoming sixth entry in the popular adventure game series has been delayed.
I love Broken Sword but I admit I was disappointed to see it'll get a mobile release. Seems like it'll be massively limited because of that. Probably good for the studio though. Really looking forward to the redo of BS1 too. We need more point and click games
To Be honest, some games are way better than films..
