Among other things, he designed the train-wreck opening of the very popular and well-received "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" game. ("Train-wreck" is not a qualitative assessment of the game; it actually begins with a spectacular sequence of a wrecked train hanging off a cliff...)Anyway, he would say the opposite-- games do not influence cinematic techniques, rather cinematic techniques influence game design. He and his fellow designers constantly watch and absorb countless movies in the months/years it takes to create a game, and a major goal always is to make the games more cinematic.
