| | FMV game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | FMV games, also known as interactive movies, are a particular video game genre that was popular during the early nineties as CD-ROMs and Laserdiscs made their way into the living rooms, providing an alternative to the low-capacity cartridges of most consoles. | | | Due to the limits set by the format, most games' mechanics resemble those of modern music/dance games, where the player timely presses buttons according to a screen instruction. | | | These games rely on full motion video rather than sprites, vectors or 3D models to display action in the game. |

| | The Sydney Mystery review |
| | Bottom line, the point of playing any given game is to have fun and be diverted and engaged for a time. | | | I was initially attracted to this new indie game because I have a particular liking for FMV formatted games. | | | I was also intrigued by the fact that it was using FMV at all. |

| | They add depth and character to the games without making the player feel that the game play is a weak and underdeveloped version of the cinematics. | | | The cinematics in these games let players look at the world from other perspectives, offering images and information that these players can hold in their minds as they play the game. | | | Game players like to play, and choosing which sophomoric one liner to use on the scantily clad, direct-to-video harlot in front of you ain’t playing. |

| | I enjoy seeing cut scenes in games, it gives them a nice touch, but when companies go and substitute the FMV for the game play that is where I draw the line. | | | Give me a game with play, not show. | | | When I play a RPG I play it for the story, the feel, and the game play, I am not there to watch a movie. |

| | Gamasutra - Features - "Postmortem: The X-Files" [12.03.99] |
| | FMV games, as a rule, are difficult to execute well. | | | At the same time, we also wanted the game to engage the typical adventure gamer, and thus we had to be mindful of the need to include other aspects of traditional adventure games (combat sequences, interesting puzzles, explorable environments, etc). | | | The interface for the game and the gameplay design were similarly refined over a long period, with much attention paid to finding the common ground between the seasoned gamer and the X-Phile. |

| | Wheel of fortune tops the list as my favorite Sega CD game show game still.overall this game is good but the game is paced to slow,with semi-loads between buzzing in etc.But it's a pretty fun game that I enjoy playing from time to time when i feel like being on a game show heh. | | | In the first game you play as a young man on an alien planet and have to jump over things or squash/shoot things.It's mainly a puzzle game but it is also extremley similiar to Flashback which is supposed to be some sort of unofficial prequel or sequel or something. | | | I usually really enjoy hockey games but this one didn't seem to good.It seemed like a solid package at first but the game seems very drab and slow paced.If I were to pick a good hockey game on this system i'd go for NHL 94' it was much better then this. |

| | The play is fine here, though as with most FMV games its not overly interactive. | | | Gameplay: Well as with most FMV games you don't have much to talk about in the line of gameplay. | | | This game consists of full-length, uncut musical videos and you can switch the many options for even more challenging gameplay. |

| | Zelenhgorm Review - Just Adventure + |
| | The game never stoops to infantile humor or smuttiness, making this a game that can be enjoyed by all the family. | | | The game has some lovely FMV and background graphics are detailed and a joy to behold. | | | The game is far from perfect but is still worth playing if only to prepare yourself for the future episodes. |

| | Game Revolution Review Page - Game Revolution |
| | The game's speed was exhilarating at times, and the sound spectacular for a Playstation game, or any game in general, and the FMV movie interludes are very realistic. | | | The cost of the added stress on the hardware in terms of memory (the game had to use two discs for only 16 levels) were more glitches, occasional choppiness (which made the game easier because it actually slows down the pace at times), and more screen freezing than usual on a Playstation. | | | The actual game is very simple, and only 3 buttons and the D-pad are used. |

| | FMV is actually hi res so looks good and honestly, it's hard to tell what is FMV and what is the game. | | | Seems like all those race games have to have some fast song playing to add to the game. | | | FMV refers to games that feature video footage entirely through their gameplay, and which generally have little if any gameplay beyond Choose Your Own Adventure Book-style menus. |

| | thoughts/ideas on FMV game(s)... - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums |
| | The SEGA holographic game was called Time Traveler (sic). | | | first of all, i think the clientele for FMV games in general is really limited. | | | I'll be honest with you - I think gun games are my favorite type of arcade game, but the FMV games generally sucked for me. Their failing was not so much having no protagonist to identify with (Time Crisis? |

| | Brass Lantern Black Dahlia Review |
| | The game has some very amusing easter eggs, so I recommend that you look them up and try them out as you play the game. | | | There is a patch for this game, and it is definitely required -- it doesn't fix all the crashes, but it reduces the frequency enough that you can at least finish the game. | | | is also a perfect example of how realistic it is possible to make a game; if you want to be immersed in the 1940s, then play this game. |

| | GK 3 Comments |
| | But not until I've played Gabriel Knight 2, I then realized that a FMV game can have all the elements that are found in a real "Adventure" game. | | | The problem is that GK is not *just* a story, but a game, and particularly the brass at Sierra feel it had to be a game FIRST or the audience to which it appeals will be limited. | | | and King's Quest 7 that was a bad game to, i have almost all the sierra games, and have beaten almost all of them, and still am trying to beat Shivers, and Shivers2, and the ones in the past are CLASSICS and i still play King's quest games and Gabriel Knight. |

| | Clothes in AOD, Game vs FMV - Eidos Forums |
| | the only reason i can think of is that the cut scenes and the game were worked on by 2 different teams within core design, thus their outcomes were a bit different. | | | Same with the hair, longer in gameplay and is braids and in FMV its shorter and with i dont know.. | | | Did any of u notice in TR4 that during gameplay lara is wearing a one piece bathing suit with cleavage and shorts, but in the FMV's she is wearing a regular shirt and there is no cleavage. |

| | How can I program an FMV game like DRAGON'S LAIR - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums |
| | As for choice of language I would say pick the one you're most comfortable with, probably Games Factory or something like that may be capable of doing it. | | | Basically, while a scene is playing, you scan for joystick movement at the point something is about to happen and load the next part according to the chosen direction. | | | Home » Community » Forums » Game Programming » How can I program an FMV game like DRAGON'S LAIR |
