Honest question: What is a movie game?

[Jaguar93]

This conversation is null because anyone that’s calling Uncharted. A “movie game” is being disingenuous.

 

[rdj]

The genre of game that Phil Spencer said he could never compete with and caused them to go third party

 

[Barney Rubble]

Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, Detroit Become Human

Man stop typing so much

thats why arguing with you titan and court is exhausting. Learn how to keep it to a cohesive paragraph

You pretend you don’t understand a thing. You get a detailed explanation.

You ignore it.

And continue pretending you don’t understand for daps

and I would put the gameplay of Metal Gear Solid V or something like TLOUpart 2 up against any game you think has ’deeper gameplay’. I;d say outside of Uncharted most sonys first party titles stack up as mechanically in depth as most of the games you‘ve listed in this thread. If not far more.

They do not.

TLOU2 does not have the depth of gameplay of a resident evil game or MGSV

it just doesn’t, And that’s ok. They weren’t trying to have deep gameplay systems.

the hell you know was calling games before UC2 "Like a movie", "Cinematic". "Blockbuster summer like!"??

I agree with @Fatboi1

Unlike you im not afraid to disagree with someone “on my side” . You’d both be wrong with that observation

IGN reviews of FF7:

Final Fantasy VII Review - IGN

When videogames are delayed for any significant amount of time, they are usually, for some reason, far below expectations. Games like Battlecruiser 3000AD, Ultima VIII, and Stonekeep were all pushed back repeatedly, only to be either incomplete (Battlecruiser) or simply bad (Ultima, Stonekeep)...

The RPG by which all others are to be measured, FFVII is a cinematic wonder​

EDGE Magazine review:

Final Fantasy VII Review

FFVII has decided to divorce itself almost entirely from its predecessors and tip the whole genre on its head. Taking its cue from a more movie-like perspective, the game seems to delight in pushing almost every boundary of the console RPG forward while still being able to keep the flavour of the original titles intact

The ‘interactive movie’ has long been a dirty term to anyone who values a playable videogame, but FFVII succeeds in coming closer than any title yet

And there’s a ton more mentions from other reviews that all mention how ‘cinematic’ or ‘movie-like’ the game is.

and metal gear solid is even more so.

Why cut off my whole post? The thread was talking about who pioneered cinematic set pieces in games. You just cut it off to make a weird point.
When you say it's a "movie game" you're using the term in a way to insinuate it's a shallow, no depth having "game" that focuses on graphics and cinematics.

Point is. We all know what style of game is being referenced.

It’s ok if you really like them. And i don’t.

But don’t play dumb as if you don’t know what the style of game actually is.
