More on Interactive storytelling

Interactive storytelling was founded in the 1970s is a kind of game, where players become a protagonist or act in the footsteps of a character in a story, this makes the story become a piece of interactive media in real-time.
Interactive storytelling can be hard to create because it has to keep to it's genre without breaking any of the stock characteristics that the genre holds.
Interactive stories come in two forms, interactive storytelling and interactive fiction, these two are very distint. Interactive storytelling focuses on the drama involved, and interactive fiction usually focuses on puzzle type games.
A good example of a recent interactive story is LA Noire, this is a game that is due to come out in May on xbox and playstation 3, although it is a game this is the first video game ever to be shown at the Tribeca film festival as a 60 minute long film. The game will be based heavily on plot and film-noire elements.
