Videogames are still burgeoning. A little cliche or not, they are at the cusp of reaching their full potential. As a great poster at another forums once said (paraphrasing); it's like the door has opened slightly and we are peeking through to the other side, we just can't go through yet. Maybe a game like Spore can take us there.
Well I would say that the gist of most stores are created during the early stages of development, as the story will go hand in hand with the settings that will need to be created later on. Things like plot twists, little extras, and maybe even the games ending, or alternative endings can all be added later. But obviously something like "we'll have our character get out of the mansion, then go throught some sewers and through the underground science labs" would have to have been thought of early in the development process.
