. Similarly, in plenty of action games, the dancers in a club, the pedestrians on the sidewalk, or the people driving cars around you are just there to add the feeling of a world outside the game’s central storyline. Yet if you try to actually interact with these elements, the emptiness of the game’s world becomes quickly apparent.

The people running away from a monster’s foot as it stomps down on city streets, the cars swerving to avoid the big car chase, the people ducking for cover during a gun battle – those are all important characters in their own right. They help the audience think about how woefully unprepared we would be to enter a situation like this.films, what do these extras do? They just keep dancing.
