Honest question: What is a movie game?

[MeachTheMonster]

I think your reasoning is just conflated in platform tribalism and really not much more. Even the original ff7 was marketed as a movie

again

The beginning of the sony “cinematic game era”

You know exactly the style of game at reference here and you’ve even applauded sony at being the best at it.

Telltale games are NOTHING like “sony cinematic” games.

Not sure why that’s so difficult for you to admit.

Telltale games are story based games but they are not trying to be “cinematic”

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Nah, I watched/played that Black Mirror choose your own adventure joint on Netflix

You’re wrong

That was a tv show trying to be like a video game.

See the difference

Damn, you might be right.

I’ll give you the props for being knowledgeable about posers cause you championed the cable box posing as a video game console. Also known as the Xbox one.

Those are not movie games because you the player dictate the story.

In those games the story IS the gameplay.

Those types of games are interactive in a way only video games can be.

All videogames require interaction to make progress though.

one of your “favorite games of all time”



i think the difference between you and me is my gaming taste reflect all the things i liked growing up, while you shut off a large number of games because of the platform you aligned with.

im consistent and honest with my taste. You can draw a straight line through what I’ve always enjoyed about gaming. I don’t deprive myself of things i’d like

 

[mvp_status]

Classic Telltale Games are Point & Clicks. The closest we have to “movie games” are Supermassive and David Cage’s games. Which are more Interactive Cinematic games than Visual Novels and Point & Clicks.

idk what games these are to be honest, I just thought of the Telltale joints because you can basically hand the controller to someone with little to no gaming experience and they'll still be able to follow the on-screen cues to progress the story

but yeah at their foundation they are point and click games

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

Like i said in any other context yall know the difference.

Nobody said FF7 was “cinematic” or “like playing through a movie”

Yall admit sony and uncharted created that genre of game, but now you wanna retroactively go back and chose a turn based JRPG and try to pretend it’s ANYTHING like the formula popularized by games like Uncharted.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

All videogames require interaction to make progress though.

Yes. but not all games allow the story its self to be interactive and manipulated by the player.

In that sense. The “story” is the “gampeplay” in those games.

The father of movie games

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Nobody said FF7 was “cinematic” or “like playing through a movie”

They turned FF7 into a movie game

“Movie game” doesn’t mean mostly movies.

“Movie game” means everything is set to be “cinematic”

Linear, funnel you through corridors gameplay. Shallow combat more focused on looking cool than skill or strategy.

This is the uncharted of RPGs

Shut up fakkit you just want my nuts.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

@Gizmo_Duck with the bait and switch.

The OG ff game is absolutely NOTHING like uncharted.

FF7 remake absolutely DOES take some design inspiration from uncharted.

That is objective fact and you know it.

Not even sure why you are arguing it at this point.

 

[The Mad Titan]

Did I really just get tagged in a thread asking what a movie game is with a bunch RPGs in the OP

 

[TDT]

I thought it was a game based on a movie.

Only good examples of this..

Vin helped out with the development of this..
