      This is an odd segue but I’ve been thinking about Final Fantasy 7 and the remake lately If you told me in 1997 that graphics would come this far in 23 years, I would have struggled to believe it If you told me that storytelling would barely get any better, I’d struggle too https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1246970428402225152 …pic.twitter.com/CLdWAD9CjA

      I know there are lots of plausible counterpoints- The Last Of Us comes to mind as phenomenal video game storytelling. Horizon Zero Dawn is a great IP. But you get the spirit of the idea. There’s been nothing quite like FF7 since FF7

      I have way different metrics than you, but TLOU's storytelling really isn't phenomenal. @Campster had a good video on this, but tl;dr the gameplay & the story are like oil and water. It's got great story & good gameplay but the two never meaningfully interact with each other

      Compare this to The Void (five years older than TLOU), which literally lies to the player about gameplay tasks in order to get the player to meaningfully relate to the ways in which the Brothers abuse & gaslight the Sisterspic.twitter.com/xxFzFiKdjk

      Like, if you really want something to chew over wrt just how insane the artistic world of games has become: LISA: The Painful RPG came out a year after TLOU and is about a dad trying to raise a daughter surrogate in the apocalypse and it looks like this:https://youtu.be/1-kT5SDifCU

      TLOU was an ambitious game in the sense that it wanted to do what every game of its generation did, but do it betterhttps://youtu.be/bAzqDgKYfiM?t=24 …

      FF7 (and, I'm betting, it's remake) are about ambitiously uplifting the previous JRPG archetypes through technological advancespic.twitter.com/ozTVKTF065

      And then we have games in the indie scene, like LISA, that are about creating games that are so wildly, experimentally, ingeniously creative that you can't really say you've seen anything like it before which is, imo, ambitiouspic.twitter.com/SoRMNvf30e

      seriously, you can't give a talk like this without a nonzero level of ambition: https://youtu.be/SqFu5O-oPmU  (you'd adore Jon Blow btw; if you don't mainline all of his keynotes then now is the time)

      Yeah, @visakanv, have you been avoiding indie games? I should do a thread on Pathologic 2 and Outer Wilds soon. And both incorporate mindmaps, coincidentally!
