They are not.
The gamedesigners who are all "Show" not "play" are the worst. Same as authors who wan to "tell" and not "show" in movies.
Those who have "cool" scenes in there heads, which they want to make into a game, make for the worst, cause not interactive game experiences. Stop conflating a passive medium and a active medium.
Its even worse, if they glue singleplayer "movies" into multiplayer without gameplay considerations. As if the the ten other players want to wait for that cool "finnish" him cinematic to play the 100 time over.
The technology base might be merging, but god safe us from the merging of the creator bases.
I wish this myth would die, once and for all.
- Dah00n 4y agoA lot of people enjoy games that are basically interactive movies. Hell, there's a whole market for people that want a game to progress all the way through while all they do is click the same button over and over again. Saying they have nothing in common is no different from trying to keep digital artists down because it is not “real art” like a painting or sculpture. Unless you are a purist that only want completely analog movies and completely digital games then the creators and tools are already merged. Look at the direction of Unreal Engine for a great example and how movie producers are joining game studios.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoThe first Uncharted game is a great example.
