One of the reasons for this impulse is that video games have been sophisticated creating stories with a complex narrative, a bit in the manner of interactive films, in which cinematography is combined with the animation and competition of the game.Their complexity is in proportion to the cost of designing and developing them. The titles can cost the studios between $ 30 and $ 60 million, with production times exceeding, for the most part, two and a half years.
