I don't think the latter is exactly true. The game requires interactivity to be a game. Remove that requirement, and you've got newfound freedom to show and tell different kinds of things in the universe that wouldn't be interesting presented in a puzzle (as gameplay demands). Examples would be Sarah's "normal" day, Jakarta, tasting strawberries--the list goes on.

All can be done just as in the show: as a cutscene. Play a Kojima game sometime. Cutscenes literally last as long as episodes of TV occasionally. Rarely, you'll get them as long as entire films.

Fair enough, but doesn't mean the narrative doesn't warrant an adaptation as purely cinematic. Everybody isn't a gamer, just as everyone isn't a reader, and that's okay.
