From VGC: "In a video interview with The Washington Post, Neil Druckmann was asked for his views on narrative storytelling in video games and how it had evolved over the years.
Druckmann noted that while it could be argued that traditional video game narratives go back to the days of the 1980 video game Adventure, he’s currently more interested in the ways that some newer games tell their story in a less direct manner.
“I’m more recently intrigued by stuff like Elden Ring and Inside, that don’t rely as much on traditional narrative to tell a story,” he explained."

Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.

He says this and then wants his game to be more like a tv show, which is it Neil
Sure, I will believe it when I see it.
Good news,
but actions speaks louder than words ....
Uncharted does very well with having you play while the cut scene is happening. But of course one is action based and the other is survival.
Good for him. It’s definitely his weakest spot or “crutch” although TLOU2 was much better in that regard.
