TCW Podcast Episode 083 - The Silliwood Era now in FMV!
Now that we have set the stage, it's time for glorious FMV! We examine the critical games released in 1993 that began the interactive movie craze and attracted serious attention from the media companies just beginning to establish "interactive divisions." We analyze how both media companies and existing video game companies approached using FMV in their products and conclude by discussing how the sudden entrance and exit of the media companies transformed the industry going forward.
