New Documentary Takes A Look At Interactive Fiction
As gamers become more mature and experienced, it's only natural that we start looking at games with a more sophisticated and critical eye. Scott Steinberg has been working on a series of short video documentaries that do just that, and the latest one is a must-see for anyone interesting in interactive storytelling.
Through interviews with gaming veterans like Ultima's Richard Garriott and Gabriel Knight's Jane Jensen, Steinberg explores how storytelling has evolved over the decades. There's also a fair amount of discussion on what could be done better, which is always interesting. Take a look at the clip below if you have about 11 minutes or so to spare. It's a fascinating discussion on something that we often take for granted.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
