Dyack- ‘Dominance of gameplay will recede’ on Develop reflect comments in a Develop keynote address by Silicon Knights president Denis Dyack, who feels a shift in games from being dominated by technology and gameplay towards a more narrative focus is underway. He makes an analogy to the early days of cinema, where movies had little narrative focus, depicting scenes like putting out fires and feeding babies that gave way to a more story-oriented approach. Our initial tendency is to disagree, as this seems to ignore the interactive aspect of games that's not present in movies (idiots talking to the screen aside), but Denis seems to think the correlation is there, saying, "if you want to follow the history of film – if videogames follow that similar history, the dominance of gameplay will start to recede."
