Game such as Ico, Sanitarium among others do provide moments of emotional responses, but I don't believe this is the type of interaction we all are ultimately striving for. It is true comparing games to film / literature is not a fair comparison as it is analogous to comparing apples to oranges but the idea of a video game causing such a reinterpretation of the medium as what Citizen Kane did for film is intriguing. That film was not only novel its complexity of character but also on may other aspects of film (use of lighting, perspective, frame composition, etc) which changed the basic interpretation of the medium as an art form. In my understanding the closest we have to this is Super Mario Brothers, which some argue as a dissimilar comparison since it lacks character development and storyline. However it was a quantum leap in gameplay. There are other games we can argue as major progressions of our art form but overall I am hopeful we will make a similar leap in the near future. I believe others feel the same way and it is this collective hope which we are currently translating as a game comparison of Citizen Kane. I am hopeful our discussions on the topic will lead us closer having it becoming a reality.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812588100508427598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870149531492841319.post-54406579765391783472009-02-21T05:51:00.000-08:002009-02-21T05:51:00.000-08:00Brilliantly written.

That's what separates it from books, movies, and musics. Those have a theme of emotion, difficult to translate a wide range of emotion.josephayounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269750277378106317noreply@blogger.com
