What works well in a PC game may have to be rethought for mobile or might need to be even more radically different for VR or AR. What about the different stories told in a game that uses only a mouse for input versus a complex strategy game that requires all the keys on a keyboard? <\/p>Our panelists come from a range of games told in all different media, from Watchdogs: Legion<\/em> to Homeworld: Vast Reaches<\/em> to Among Us VR<\/em> to to As Dusk Falls<\/em>, and they all know something about the shifting ways stories are told across genre and medium. In this spirited discussion we\u2019ll cover why game stories are all so incredibly different, while also diving into what unifies the best game narratives.<\/p>"},"id":"dbbfa9a3-2245-44df-9228-935a88f607c6","isHidden":false,"type":"textBlock"}]
