I can’t change the world’s thinking, but I’ll carry the banner for this unfairly maligned genre. Browsing reviews, both old and new, for FMV games presents not just criticism but barely contained rage in the written form. FMV games are finally dead everyone always cries, and cretins in the development world pour scorn on their colleagues from former years for making them, while they go on to make yet another space marine FPS. Articulating this isn’t easy, since it would seem the entire world, and all of my friends/colleagues who write about games, hate the genre (actually, fellow HG101 blogger CJ Iwakura once mentioned on the HG101 forums that he liked them. Not in the so-bad-it’s-good way (though this is sometimes the case), but sincerely, in the same way I enjoy Valkyria Chronicles or a really good club sandwich. My review of Hysteria Project will be in part 3 (coming later), while the above photo is explained within. I wrote so much, I’m posting this in 3 parts. With the semi-recent release of FMV horror game Hysteria Project on PSN, plus various Laserdisc games turning up on the Wii over the past year, I thought I should talk about my love for FMV games.
