Cinematics Do Matter? · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by Zonk on Thursday February 2, 2006 @02:08PM from the fighting-slashdot-articles dept.

In direct contradiction to a discussion we had about David Jaffe's opinion on the subject earlier today, GameDaily Biz has an editorial up arguing that cinematics and story are very important game elements. From the article: "There have been times in our industry where sub-par product has been sold through its cinematics, but there have also been times when products have failed to live up to the promise of its creators. The merits of if a cinematic and/or story detract from a game experience is rather mute, as story is one of the oldest and fundamental forms of entertainment, expression and communication"

This isn't a technology reporting site, nor is it news.

Oh, I'm sorry. I must have been mistaken when I read the slogan reading "News for nerds. Stuff that matters." I must have been totally out of my mind to think this was a site for the news! Maybe they should change the slogan to "Circle-jerks for nerds. Stuff that splatters."
