Storytelling – How important is it in a videogame?

By grahamstanley  

Here’s a video about whether it is important for games to have a good story

Suggestions on how to use it

  • Ask your learners to think about games they know and their stories – Are the stories important? Could they be better?
  • Get the learners to tell each other a story from a game to see how easy it is
  • Play the video and ask the learners to write down any comments that people say they think are interesting
  • You do the same and then write these comments on the board and continue the discussion
  • Finally, ask them if they think things will change in the future (i.e stories will become more important to games)
