Why haven't FMV games made a comeback given how much higher quality they could be and benefit from things like modern CG for locations, and more advanced gameplay and compositing of the filmed footage? Surely there must be a niche for this.

My guess is devs think mocap is better because they can do whatever with the footage. But even as a novelty it might be neat to see a new FMV game (and not just a simple viewpoint like Her Story).

>fast, seamless 15 frames per second
Grayson King
I feel like no one is genuinely nostalgic for FMV. It looks like it was all trash, every bit of it. Maybe it was never done well, even once
Tyler Cox
you did play her game, right?
Jacob Carter
Take2 imand Sierra ones were good. So was Tex Murphy.
Daniel Ramirez
I liked that one murder mystery FMV. "Contradiction".
Hudson Scott
Gabriel Knight 2, Tex Murphy among others were good.
Luke Baker
Harvester is great.
Austin Ross
Not a fan of [current year] film for the most part. I don't see a reason to play something that I would obviously dislike.
Evan Lewis
I don't want a movie, I want a game made with FMVs.
Christopher Rivera
they got a reputation for cheap laziness made by fake developers that never went away
Elijah Carter
I'd be very interested to see a game like Phantasmagoria or Harvester done with modern tech. You'd be able to remove a lot of that awkward disconnect between film footage and gameplay now, and allow a lot more freedom for threading in your film clips.
Jose Sanchez
There's still a few being made every now and then. I remember liking this one
Cooper Williams
Not for Broadcast was cool.
Joshua Adams
Still waiting for the next Tex Murphy.
Jose Moore
My partner has never been so hyped for a game. I really hope it comes out good for him. I'll look into this.
There was a murder mystery one I remember playing like 5 years ago that I can't remember the name of.
Puzzle of Flesh is still so much fun and great, and the twist is still one of my favourites in gaming. The dedication to old b movie practical effects makes it such a perfect time capsule. The actors were spot on for it, still funny the actor who played the server guy got backlash for playing for a homo.
Oliver Parker
I keep a webm around albeit for non-Harvester reasons.
Lincoln Howard
>cancelled in 2021
god damn it

Based Phan2 enjoyer. I still go back every now and then to play through it (along with KQ5/6). It’s a really fun B movie thats been ruined by a proto e-celeb’s fanbase.
Jeremiah Roberts
It's a weird one.
Aiden James
What is bandersnatch called?
Brayden Bell
You're asking too much of millennials. The golden era of games was built by Boomers and GenXers. Everything millennials touched have ruined it.
Jordan Adams
Phantasmagoria 2, dude.
