OK, games versus movies. It's all a matter of taste. Isn't it? The movie's already had its big revolutions: First sound, then colour, then computer graphics. So it looks like the movies will stay at this stage for a while. Yeah, the special FX in movies will improve, but there won't be any real innovation for a long time.
Then we have a look at games. They started with two-button setups and small coloured dots flashing across the screen. Then we got some beeps to go with it. Then we got better graphics, sound and more depth. The games eventually turned 3D, and so did the sound. And now, we've got millions of polygons flying across our screens in 60fps.
But gaming history has just started. Look at movies: almost everyone's trying to make films that seem like others. But that doesn't happen in games...except sequels.
Everyone tries to be as original as possible, and the gameplay depth is already at unbelievable levels. With the incredible rate of development for games nowadays, games will become indescribably good.
So for now, just pop in GT3, sit back, have a nice race, and think about the future. Be glad to be alive. I am.
