Synopsis
In this fun and informative YA Non-fiction title, Dustin Hansen, author of Game On! , a self-confessed video game addict with over 20-years experience in the gaming industry, examines the storytelling skills shown in some of the most beloved and moving games of all time. We all know that video games are fun, but can a video game make you cry? Can it tell you a powerful love story? Can a video game make you think differently about war? About the environment? About the choices you make? Whether it's playing through blockbuster-esque adventures (Uncharted, God of War, The Last of Us), diving deep into hidden bits of story and lore (Red Dead Redemption II, Bioshock, Journey) or building relationships that change the fate of the world itself (Persona 5, Undertale), video games are bringing stories to life in ways that are immediate, interactive and immersive. Focusing on some of the best, most memorable, experiences in gaming, The Greatest Stories Ever Played, examines the relationship between gaming and storytelling in a new way., We're going to look at storytelling in the most immediate, interactive, and immersive medium to date. We'll dig into what binge-watching TV episodes on Netflix has in common with your favorite video game. We'll take a deep dive into how pressing buttons on a PS4 controller is a form of communication. We'll ask ourselves important questions like "Can a video game make you cry?" and "Should you be able to write a book report on a video game?" and maybe even "What does it take to be a writer in the video game industry?" But most of all, you and I are going to look back at the greatest stories ever played. Book jacket., In this fun and informative YA Non-fiction title, Dustin Hansen, author of Game On! with over 20-years experience in the gaming industry, examines the storytelling skills shown in some of the most beloved and moving games of the past thirty years.
