Can games tell stories better than movies?

Trained in cinema before turning to game design, Peter Mack has spent his career exploring how stories can be told through systems rather than scripts.

In this talk, he reflects on what games can do that film cannot, how meaning can emerge through action, choice, and interaction instead of narration.

From early lessons in cinema to his latest open-world truck simulator inspired by real drivers, Peter shows how games can generate narratives players actively shape.
