Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has been on a roll, and it hasn’t even been a month since the game’s launch. The title’s success has the gaming community talking, and the game’s writer has brought up some pretty interesting topics and remarks.
In his latest post, Daniel Vavra, the writer and director of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, discussed plots in video games. According to him, video games are more developed products than movies, yet the stories in most video games are bad.
Why it matters: As video games become more mainstream, their budgets and development scales are rising. However, with the increased budgets, studios now avoid creative risks and don’t innovate much with either the plot or gameplay.
Additionally, Daniel Vavra also said that one of the primary reasons why people like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is its story, apart from other factors. The game’s plot is found believable and entertaining due to its historical accuracy.
In the same thread, he also questioned why the industry lacks games with great plots like Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, or Metal Gear Solid.
The answer lies in the shift towards live-service titles since single-player games hardly make any money in this era. Moreover, most are still reluctant to focus on visual fidelity which has become a concern within the industry.
However, still in this era, video games have well-structured plots and well-written characters. Cyberpunk 2077 is a standout title and features some of the best narrative and story-building out of any medium.
