Naughty Dogin pomo ja The Last of Us -pelien isä Neil Druckmann meni ja ylisti From Softwaren Elden Ringiä sen tavasta kertoa tarinaa ennen kaikkea pelattavuuden keinoin välttäen välivideoita ja muita perinteisiä pelien tapoja välittää tarinaansa.
"I'm more recently intrigued by stuff like Elden Ring and Inside that doesn't rely as much on traditional narrative to tell its story. Some of the best storytelling in The Last of Us is in the cinematics, but a lot of it is in gameplay, and moving around the space, and understanding the history of a space by just looking at it and examining it. To me, right now, that's some of the best joy I get out of games that trust their audience to figure things out. [Games] that don't hold your hand, that's the stuff I'm really intrigued by going forward."
Antamastaan ylistyksestä huolimatta Druckmann ei aio kaikkia Elden Ringin elkeitä omiin peleihinsä sisällyttää silkkana sellaisenaan.
"That doesn't mean we will never have dialogue, or cutscenes, I think those are tools in your toolbox," Druckmann said, speaking to The Washington Post. "And I think there's a way to push that stuff forward, at least for the kind of games we make at Naughty Dog."
Mutta kumpi onkaan sitten parempi: Elden Ringin tyyli vai ne perinteiset elkeet? Kommentoi alla.
Kiitokset, Washington Post
