Rockstar not trying to make “interactive movies,” but “video games that are cinematic”

VG247: Rockstar told attendees at the Tribecca Film Festival that it took inspiration from movies like Chinatown and L.A. Confidential as well as fiction fromJames Cain and Raymond Chandler when creating L.A. Noire.

good, i love cinematic games, like uncharted 2 and god of war 3 for example and even red dead redmeption.

and yes rockstar's statement is very good because i agree that games should stay as games because its something you are supposed to play

nothing wrong with that as long as it's a game first. rdr was a great story but a little too easy of a game

SilverSlug4740d ago

IT was easy, but did you have fun?

BeckyLikesChocolate4740d ago (Edited 4740d ago )

yea it it was fun gameplay-wise and i enjoyed the story but the challenge is what makes a game a game. i have fun swimming but that doesnt make it a game. without a challenge it's just an interactive movie

Tired4740d ago

I can't afford this for while....stamps feet *sulks*

Tired4740d ago

Cheers but I like to buy my games...

Just bought mass effect 2 and dragon age 2 on sale(went a little bioware crazy).

I wouldn't even really call it a "game." It's more like Interactive Cinematic Entertainment. If anything, Heavy Rain was a little too much like an interactive movie for my tastes. Still good though.

Ex-Rockstar Dev Finally Explains Why Small Planes Randomly Crashed in GTA San Andreas

Former Rockstar Games Technical Director Obbe Vermeij has finally revealed why some planes would randomly crash in GTA: San Andreas.

Profchaos19d ago

This fly by feature was on the cutting room floor due to the random plane crashes and it's one of those things I'm so thankful made it into the final version as these random fly by and crashes make the world seem more alive on the extremely limited PS2 hardware you needed everything you could possibly get in a open world to convey that feeling.

And accross hundreds of hours of gameplay I probably died around 3 times as a result of these fly by failures but I loved every time it happened

isarai19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

It made the world feel more human, and honestly kinda insane that even today with all these open world games, almost no one can capture that like R* even when compared to their ps2 games

Skuletor17d ago

Lol, I remember those. I vaguely remember dying from one crashing into my car once too.

L.A. Noire And Bully — Rockstar's Lost Gems That Deserve A Sequel As Much As GTA

Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."

Skuletor18d ago

How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.

Psychonaut8518d ago

I want a new Manhunt game. But that will never happen.

Demetrius18d ago

Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems

Demetrius18d ago

Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥

Skuletor18d ago

I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either
