From the title, I know that YOU know which game I’ll be talking about in this article, but I assure you that this won’t be a one game entry. There are a lot of other games out there that aim for a cinematic experience other than Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, though most are nowhere near as effective as what Naughty Dog has pulled off with their PlayStation 3 exclusive.

As the technology used for video games advances, developers gain the abilities to add cinematic elements to their games. There is no single method for this and each game, depending on the developers chosen style, go about this concept in many different ways.

When you have a character that has been around for a long time, eventually you will have to reinvent and modify certain aspects of that character to reflect the style of contemporary times…

…at least that’s what some characters go through. Other characters who seem to have changed over the years are changing for different reasons. Some characters change their appearance due to art style, others change because of their new circumstance, and some others don’t really change, they’re just a lot more… well equipped than they were before.
