Video Games: The Movie
Video games were very successful
because they caused the player to become immersed in another world and do
things that they can’t do in reality. Video games provided the people a place
to relax and to have fun. A video game can be popular because of it’s
characters’ stories or what the characters are able to do. These characters may
be able to do things that people can’t do in real life which addicts the gamer
to the game.
The video industry crashed in the 1980s because the company Atari was very successful in gaming industry and they decided to make a game called “E.T.” based on a movie “E.T.” however, since Christmas was coming up in five weeks, they had to rush the game which resulted in consumers hating the game because of how bad it was. This caused all video game consumers to have lower expectations for any new games coming out and so the excitement for video games died down for a while.
I don’t think that video games
are a form of art because I believe that video games are very closely related
to movies and I don’t think that movies are a form of art. I think of art as
painting or drawing. Maybe the process of creating a game might require the
drawing or painting of a character but the game itself is not art.
The next evolution in games is virtual reality. The game industry is trying to make the player believe that they are actually in the game by using virtual reality headsets. However, a challenge they will face is that the technology for virtual reality is still in the making and is very expensive for consumers.
