The Necessity of Video Game Narrative in 2021 & Beyond (Part 1/2)
Part 2: https://youtu.be/vO0YsFS8-P0
In video games, narrative is how its story is told through gameplay. Great story and characters that complement the gameplay not only resonate more with players, but can also make a night and day difference in a game's commercial success. This is more true today than ever, and has actually become a requirement for a certain tier of AAA games such as God of War 4 (2018). And this channel's purpose is to shine a light on that relationship.
In Part 2, we'll do a granular breakdown of God of War 4's opening stage to illustrate exactly how this is achieved.
