Kinglink says "If one was to ask me about FMV games a month ago, I would immediately think of the first game that talked about FMVs that I played. The massive Final Fantasy VII that shipped on 4 CD and boasted just under an hour of Full Motion Videos. At the same time, another form of FMV was being used. Entire games spliced together out of digitized video clips. There was everything from the infamous (but hardly as scandalous as people thought) Night Trap, Mad Dog McCree, and more."

''Something novel this way comes.
Look, trying out new things is not such a bad idea. Once in a blue moon, it can actually be a very good one. Incidentally, we're under one such phenomenon RIGHT NOW (not really).''
Written by Alan Kerr - The continual push towards better graphics has led the game industry to a point where games are starting to look incredibly realistic. At the same time, the film industry’s ability in CGI has come just as far and it is getting harder to notice the difference.
Well first of all gaming does far more than just realistic graphics, it goes for all different kinds of art styles.
Second visuals aren’t everything. It’s the only interactive medium with various aspects that can’t be replicated in any other medium.
Finally the gaming industry is the fastest growing industry of all time and in recent years it’s outgrossed both the music and movie industries combined.
Not really. The games industry is far more flexible and able to wriggle its way into people's lives be it from candy crush on the bus to Call of Duty at home.
Film has it much harder to make its way into people's lives seeing as you may have to put aside a few hours in the day to see a movie.
To me it's just one major advantage the medium has over the other from a market standpoint.
HPP's Colin Regen writes: "FMV Games have had a modern renaissance and Late Shift hopes to capture the magic that titles like Cibele and Her Story have been able to. The game is a cinematic production that deserves to be seen as an innovator in its genre, despite the relative lack of player agency in how the story plays out."
