They're never well executed or they'd be doing it for real money in Hollywood.

Josh Sawyer: Cinematic games bad

Also Josh Sawyer: Nothing you do in Deadfire matters

 

[pomenitul]

I had no idea 'cinematism' in video games was just code for 'fatalism'.

 

[vortex]

Deadfire is considered a cinematic game how much loading screens, text pop-ups and transitions has. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Kazuki]

Eh i think Deadfire had a rather mild on Cinematic

 

[Ol' Willy]

That's undoubtedly true. Because cinematic mechanics are:

While game mechanics are:

Although I would like to see Sawyer put his money where his mouth is.

He's absolutely right. When games emulate movies they aren't emulating high art cinema or even fun action type movies. They're emulating the bottom scraping trash which has the widest appeal. In other words modern games are emulating predictable, hollow, banal shit. Unless you thought GTA:V was a great game.

When I see a Stand like this from a developer, I have to ask:

- What cinematic games of this type have you played
- Do you normally play these games or immediately decide not to based on bias
- What is the "cinema" in the game trying to accomplish
- What kind of cinema do you enjoy outside of games
- Is that cinema that you claim to enjoy relevant or interesting to most gamers
- Are you autistic

If Dancer in the Dark is your benchmark then I agree game cinematic resources devoted to a similar experience would not be interesting.

I don't even disagree with his point necessarily, I just find Sawyer's stands on shit to be eye-rolling.

If it is, they picked such a shit title. Manages to be both obnoxious and feeble at the same time. Oh hang on, fits like a glove.

Don't ask, he's wrong for whatever reason (mental retard the likeliest).

he's basically saying that uncharted and david cage games are trash because they have no gameplay of worth and only cutscenes.

He's not entitled to an opinion, seeing how his two latest games that relied strongly on storytelling both failed because of said storytelling.

I'm sure POE would've been even more insufferable if it was a cinematic cover shooter with cutscenes.

He says the problem is with "cinematic storytelling", which is usually a 4 act story. You have to explain why it's bad if you agree with him. I'm not talking about game mechanics, that's not the point of contention.
