Re: "This Dave Jaffe guy"

In Response To: Re: I don't think it's the medium's fault (mattroe) "This Dave Jaffe guy." Really? That's kind of hilarious. You don't need expensive cutscenes, professional scripts and Nolan North to catch the player's emotion. That's where this generation is going wrong for me. Be a good game and deliver it through your play. Consider: we're on a Halo board. I'd argue most of what Halo evokes is done through gameplay and art and sound, the key strengths of video games. Reach's Lone Wolf is a great example. What it has to say is said mostly through the level; the cutscene just caps it off. Plus there are other emotions than rage and sadness. Games can connect with the player to give joy in a way few other media can. Jaffe is criticizing the industry focus on making big, bombastic, linear "experiences." He's right.
