A Game A Game My Kingdom For A Game....Task 6

I can't find anything that really defines game play so I will tell you what I think game play is,
it is a combination great music and a game that’s makes you want to play it even after you've finished completing it.

The leading lights for game design.... ha these people don’t exist there is only one main game for each console and this is the way it will always be. These games will be mimicked through out the consoles life and until these titans are over thrown then a new game can not sit in the spot light of that console. There are also a game for each genre showing the rest of the world that they suck, but seriously the console thing look in to it and you’ll see

Xbox: master chief
P.S.: solid snake
Nintendo: Link
pc: Gordon freeman

In today’s games there is no such thing as a games designer any more because the game is split in to so many different sections there maybe a person that designs the levels and another who designs the charters in the game. the closest thing is the person who designs the main feel for the game and says to the rest of the people working on it that the game must have this look, but this individual is not responsible for the detail on the levels or of the main bulk of the story line.

in the games industry different game genres do require different design principals but only slightly it all depends on the wide verity in level design like in R.P.G.‘s. The other deciding factor is that if you have a games like fighting or sports then the designer will be able to spear head nearly the entire project.

The thing that’s most important for me is the style and the surroundings of the game, so that when I play a game is that the game takes you to another place like in a book, the world that is portrayed in the game is done in a certain style that submerges you in to it, if this is done badly then the illusion of the game and its surroundings will be flawed and the game will not work as well as it should. So I think that my favourite thing in a game is seeing if they can make the world of the game realistic.

Path of the corrupt ones...... Task 5

I’m not a fan of games magazines because they do not reflect the needs of the people today, they have a certain amount of appeal to today society but they.

I find that the games world is to large in to days society and this is where the problem is because the writers are going on ratings and there own opinions and this also clouds there judgement in weighting which is good and bad.

writers for games magazines work in the company and the profit of the magazine pays for them, but they also get paid to give a game a more positive out look to try to increase sales
of that game because a lot of people will trust games magazines to give an honest opinion this doesn’t mean that the game is not worthy of that grade but it can be altered to improve it out look.

The ranking system in games is necessary but it is done so inaccurately that it is not worth paying attention to unless it not a main stream game, because these games are the ones that maybe only one or two people have played and when one of these games comes in to light they give an accurate opinion about because they found it after the release date.

I don't like new games journalism because the information in it is limited and the reference pictures are ones that show the finest quality of the game and can make the game seem that its something that’s its not. This is why I use the site www.gametrailers.com to look at new or old games because you get to see how the game actually is and not a couple of re-rendered images.

To Infinity And Beyond .....Or Task 4

The current game industry in the 21 century has come a long way but it can always go further as the uprising of new consoles and new graphics will only take us to one place. A more competitive market awaits this will increase the amount of consoles and gamers and boost the graphics to a level we won't even beagle to comprehend.

I believe that the industry has only one pressure to face in the near to distant future, The pressure is the fact that game are getting more realistic and involved in the new competitive market and soon there will be a problem. This is only my point of view but I believe that there well be a lot of bans for some of the game of the future I think this because the problems have all ready started with games such as MAN HUNT which was ban be cause some kid killed him self not long after he had bought the game and it was removed from the selves. The other game that proves my theory is the fabled WORLD OF WARCRAFT this game is causing an number of problems... there are people that have quit there jobs to play this game non stop. I even know people that have quit there jobs and after a year of playing try to get a job in Blizzard France. there are so people that have died playing that game... like at there computers. The problems is that soon concerned parents will compile these problems and will use it to ban game that the perceive to be offensive.

I have no problem with this level of realism coming to game in the future because I love and live for games and I hope the game Industry will grow this strong all I’m saying is that there will be a problem.

What I want from games in the future is a felling of freedom not in some stupid hippy way but in the way that my character can do any thing. I want a game that reflects the player a game that give you the control over the world around you, A R.P.G. which is online and offline playable and has quests that are a challenge unlike FABLE with its child like game play (Fable's a great game but way to easy and way to sort) I would like to feel that I'm actually there in this world that I can distort to my own image. I think that the new technology that the Wii is using can be use to create a feeling of control that can be used to create this feeling of realism in a game that is needed
