    The kind of display doesn't matter to me, I just don't want the video content to look cheap.

    Video clips can be kind of cool, I guess. But part of the charm of licensed games, to me, is that they take something you love and build on it.

    There was no Power in the original Twilight Zone, and certainly no episode with a spooky gumball machine. The game designers gave us cool literal callbacks to the show AND created new stuff, like the gumball machine, that fit the theme and made for a good game.

    If they could have put anything they could imagine on the display, would the game be the same? Probably not. Would it be better? Maybe... maybe not.
