When you think of the full motion video game genre, there are some immediately negative associations which spring to mind. This includes questionable acting, terrible green screen environments, and less than stellar picture quality.
But over the last few years, we have seen a renewed effort to reclaim the genre and act on its full potential, with titles like “Her Story,” “The Bunker,” and “The Late Shift” giving players a higher quality of interactive experience and further blurring the lines between filmmaking and game development.
To understand the future of the genre, however, you first have to look into its past. “Night Trap,” which was recently re-released onto modern consoles, is arguably the most popular game from the first wave of Fmv titles and was created mainly as a proof of concept for new technology.

Underground workers known as the 'NYC Sandhogs' blow up a tunnel and one man gets left behind. He's later found under the rubble. Identified as Pete Riggs (Eric Ritter) who has been on site ten years. Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) appears to be nervous about going underground and Mac (Gary Sinise) asks him if he's bathophobic (fear of depth.) Danny: "I'm not anything-phobic, just a few things that shake me up..." One of them being a 100 feet of granite between "me and daylight." Mac adds they're going to work the same way here as the men do, "rock by rock." A sandhog is anyone who helps in building tunnels, even if they're not actually in the tunnel, they're still one of them. The Vic wasn't shot or stabbed before the explosion but there's trace under his fingernails, which are covered with a plastic bag to protect the evidence. The Da wants the site cleared and running.
