Message: [QUOTE="qw90700, post: 321144, member: 660650"] - First time I saw a game that is like "a movie" is Battletoads on NES because it was the first time I saw a cutscene logic during gameplay itself and unique boss battle in a game: [MEDIA=youtube]iqyeq7iC5YY:195[/MEDIA] - And then on Sega Genesis Another World and Flashback is prime example of fully cinematic video games that is platformer-action games yet they nail this feeling despite they are not a visual novel or adventure game per se. And then we were introduced to point and click games that has fixed camera angles but more like overall look on the scene and the games being adventure games they focused on stories. In that regard King's Quest, Space Quest, Monkey Island, lots of LucasArts point and click games, The Longest Journey, Sanitarium et cetera played decent roles in this cinematic sense. Afterwards Alone in the Dark series got popular for its cinematic fixed camera angles but instead of a point and click game it is a survivor horror game like you play the game via watching it by security cameras and lack of decent visibility adds to the sense of horror which later on what Resident Evil series took this idea. However clear difference is Along in the Dark focused more on story telling and cinematic feeling in the format of a survivor horror especially because monsters wasn't directly always able to be killed and gameplay focused on adventure game logic of puzzles but Resident Evil was more about having no decent story to begin with and the whole goal is shooting despite it's not that a "pew pew action game" and some puzzles here and there so it was less of a survivor horror game than we got to know before. At this point games could be good and still feel cinematic without reducing or butchering gameplay, but afterwards shit got BS. - On PS1 Hideo Kojima made Metal Gear Solid 1 a "watching simulator game" that was bad aspect of later MGS games for me. I didn't welcome it. Japanese RPGs having boring long cutscenes is my prime part of an example of why I stopped playing new games for good. And then they released a BS game like Fahrenheit that you watch, when you don't watch you either deal with BS quick time events or for a little while you can actually play a game. It was around that time that we started to see walking simulator interactive visual novel games like Flower, Sun and Rain that this type of games became another adventure/cinematic sense but then walking simulator games became more and more that focuses more on their walking aspects. Afterwards games started being less of a game but more of interactive Netflix shit that ruined gaming for me. Especially new Sony "games" are repulsive AF for me. [/QUOTE]
