“No storyteller should ignore the fact that the reader has other reading experiences. Readers are exposed to other mediums, each of which has its own rhythm. There is no way of measuring it, but we know that these different media influence each other.”
Will Eisner, Graphic Storytelling, pg. 69, Poorhouse Press, ©1995 Will Eisner
At some point, we’ll see a clear indication that games influence these other media. I don’t count cross-marketing strategies, such as Halo Legends (video game extending market into animation). Whereas there’s a clear indication of Bioshock being influenced by Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, and not because Ayn Rand struck a deal with 2K. There is no such indication with games just yet.
