A discussion on various forums has led me to post this on mmochamp.
So what's it about? Video Games, the new 'movie/book'?
Numbers: Nowadays, games are getting more important in the business world. So important that they already are/will be the number 1 entertainment one can offer. Big sale numbers haven't peak'd yet and records can still be broken.
Story: Video games with more story participation are getting popular. You are a part of an intriguing story line or better yet, you create your own story!
Examples: Assassin's creed & Uncharted & Skyrim? Just examples.
Future of Video Games & Movies: People (or fanboys/girls) tend to believe that one day, movies will be interactive. Like video game interactive. Or just will develop to be a movie genre.
So my question for you is:
Do you rather play (in) a story-line or would you rather watch/read a story-line?
And is there a possibility that the future generations will favor Video Games over Movies (or/and books) for Story/Lore reasons?
