Cinematic Game Design | Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid and How Cinema has Influenced Video Games

Cinema has influenced game design from the very inception of the medium, whether it be thematic inspiration, adapting licensed properties or even when crafting mechanics. This video traces the history of both cinema and games, and how games have both been hampered and elevated by their replication of cinematic techniques. Cinematic games are often seen as restrictive when it comes to player agency, but by understanding the techniques game designers use to craft dynamic play, perhaps we can find a way to reconcile the language of both mediums, and craft experiences that transcend classification.
