Will movies ever achieve the artistic prowess of video games?
I think the hard coded limitations of the genre for example being limited to a 3 hours at max experience and the sheer passivity of the whole experience will eventually spell the death of the genre

It is true that video games has a big potential as a story telling medium, but nobody uses it.
That's why Taro stands out. While the quality of his stories is very arguable, he's using the fact that he's making a video game instead of making a movie with gameplay.
>>
>>81180190
wrong way around doofus.

video games are a superior form of story telling but its too immature and too early right now so its still inferior to films but only at the moment. i suspect a new medium thats more a merging of games and movies to come out in the coming decades that will become the media of choice for patricians.

I'm honestly embarrassed for people who unironically think this. In fact, you kind of hit on the reason video games are such garbage, length. Gamers will flip out if a game is too short or has too little content, so designers are obligated to create a bunch of worthless filler, basically shitting on whatever artistic vision they originally had.

Movies? No. As a story telling medium it is only good for singular stories, but when you move on to movie franchises and sequels it's flaws become very apparent. TV isn't the future either because it isn't as profitable, so storytelling as an art form is fucked.

The only videogames that has ever ever dared to tackle mature themes and issues was the original Deus Ex. Games still have to come a long way before they can be compared to movies in terms of how they make the player think and what kind of emotions they make him feel.

Your thinking of examples where people act silly like jumping nonstop which take away from the gravitas of moments right? Game designers are aware of this which is why in Witcher 3 or the Last of Us they have cutscenes for all the important moments, it'll continue to get better over time.

Any emotions or thoughts a film can induce, a game can induce too. As evocative as a film may be, games have the potential to be moreso because instead of something happening to a character you're watching, its happening to a character you've been personally interacting with over the course of the game, the consequences of your choices and your own actions will always ring louder than the choices of a character on screen.

>>81182720
And both games are shitty genre fiction where you kill hundreds of enemies. A good drama game simply can't exist because video games must be entertaining.

It looks this way because the budget consisted of a couple of ramen bowls. Now compare that to some of the western titles that have millions and millions and still look like shit.
>>
>>81182229
Mmmm, I think RPG's right now do have a lot of bullshit that's pointlessly there for the sake of gameplay that isn't even particularly fun like resource gathering, crafting and upgrading that take away from its artistic or story telling merits. I think this will get better as gamers stop obsessing over gameplay hours. Yet at the same time I also think RPG's have the greatest potential for storytelling in the coming decades once VR and more really start taking off. Custom character RPG's like Skyrim, Mass Effect and Dragon Age are really shit in terms of telling a conventional story because you're not seeing the story through the eyes of a well crafted protagonist because of the customization. You're character is necessarily bland and capable of being utterly irrational, at best these games are only good for fun or telling an anthology of separate stories within an interesting setting that you travel through.

Witcher 3's main story is much worse than the individual stories you encounter in side quests but its still does a better job with conventional storytelling because instead of making a character, you occupy one that behaves in character even when making choices.

irrelevant
ton of indie games look better with 0 budget and a lot less manpower
or take a look at slavs developers where they make gold from literally nothing
STALKER that started development in ~2001 has better and more technology than your shitty nippon games

> Now compare that to some of the western titles that have millions and millions and still look like shit.

Nope.
All western games look alright.

What about games with emergent "stories" like Rain World, Creatures, Dwarf Fortress and others I can't think of right now. They focus entirely on gameplay, but they don't frame the player as the center of the world around which gameplay revolves. You get a system which works fine on its own and the player is a sort of wrench in the works that upsets the balance and all sorts of crazy shit happens.

Isn't this a more natural approach for single player games than trying to be movies with gameplay sprinkled in to fool the easily-fooled into being more immersed than they would in a movie?

>A good drama game simply can't exist because video games must be entertaining.
What are you saying? That drama isn't entertaining? That you can't have good drama in games? Many fans of games would disagree with you strongly there.

I think most of you're legitimate complaints are because we're still in the immature stage of video games. Games are games because of the hard focus on the gameplay part. Gotta have lots of people to kill, bosses to fight, things to buy or upgrade and a big map to explore. I think these types of games will always exist and they can't compare with cinema in storytelling, but I also think eventually there will be a new genre that's a mix of the two. The cinematic part of it will help to tone down the game-ier parts of the game medium. Yeah there are just so, so many challenges to doing it right that I have no answer for but am confident some clever people will get it right one day.

Well, contrary to /v/ "contrarian" belief L.A.Noir,GTA4(and maybe GTA:SA),TLOU,Heavy Rain,Beyond:2 souls,HL2(yup),some Telltale games, older WRPGS, FNV ,maybe Uncharted etc... are great games that surpass a lot of movies and are highly "cinematic".
I don't play PlayStation but they (sony and his inhouse devs)are on forefront of/ pushing cinematic games(probably long term investment for Sony).
I believe we will see interactive movies in near future, but there will always be non interactive movies(but they will have to be something extraordinary to compete with what's essentially per-person tailored movie)

Haven't seen it, but what about 12 Angry Men? That's all about everyday drama and the human condition. I don't see why you can't have a video game like that.

>Video game needs a goal, enemies and some form of gameplay.
The goal is the same, convince the other jurors, the guilty verdict jurors are the enemy and the gameplay is conversation argument based like the conversation boss battles in Deus Ex, only better done. This would require a gigantic fuckload of effort on part of the game designers but its not impossible.
>>
>>81183567
>I'm saying that video games can't portray everyday drama and human condition well.

Every story needs the characters to have a goal and face adversity, that's not unique to video games. Enemies in the common video game sense are optional. See Telltale or stuff like Life is Strange.

Not OP, I felt that cult old school WRPGs(Arcanum,Planescape,Bg,Fallout2 etc) were almost perfect instrument of delivering interactive story (that and pointnclick Lucas arts adventures)=as early prototypes of what storytelling games will evolve into, way of inserting yourself into different reality.
But design of games went wrong way last ~15 years(shooting bullets thru cross hair on middle of screen as only mean of interaction with the world,shittiests part of it all ,fps has so much space and potential for evolving, yet they waste it on flying rifles) so idk
