This kind of filmic game-making remains popular (Sony’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, the Indiana Jones-style blockbuster, complete with rugged, quipping matinee hero, launches in April after five years of development and millions of dollars of investment) but it no longer feels like the future of video games, or even much like the present.

Video game scriptwriters started to force dollops of exposition on players through non-interactive cut scenes and, if the player strayed too far from the set narrative path, some unseen director would often return them to the straight and narrow. Video game storylines began to adopt three-act structures (even if, in many cases, they were: “man shoots big gun”, “man’s gun is taken away”, “man exacts revenge using new, bigger gun”). The gap was closed in function, as well as form. The enduring appeal of video games has always been in their ability to cast us into the role of an active participant

In this way video games began to look like and sound like films and, in turn, through the use of point-of-view camera angles and stentorian set pieces, films began to look like video games. The Oscar-winning film composer Hans Zimmer provided the score to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Beyond: Two Souls, a cinematic game that stars Ellen Page as both the face and voice of its protagonist. Hollywood actors and artists began to lend their talent to games. Technology’s advance allowed characters and scenes that were previously composed from rudimentary sprites (Super Mario’s porno moustache, for example, was grown because people found it difficult to make out an unadorned mouth on a 16-pixel-high character at the time) to be newly rendered in full detail. F or a while, the trajectory of video games curved toward cinema.
