Video Games: The Movie

1. Some of the reasons video games are successful because they immerse the player into a world that they have control in. Video games are interactive movies that give players an experience movies or novels could never give. Video games are very popular because it gives an entertaining and enjoyable experience where players are immersed into a world unlike their own.
2. Some of the reasons the video game industry crashed in the 1980s are the lack of quality video games. Consumers will not buy garbage mass produced games because they are games. Consumers buy games that are enjoyable and entertaining. Games made in the industry during 1980s were cash grabbing garbage that did not have any hints of a true video game.
3. I do think video games are a form of art because it requires so much human skill and imagination to truly create a good video game. Art forms like sculptures and paintings instil a feeling of emotion inside of some individuals, video games do that and more.
4. The next evolution of video games is most likely virtual reality. The biggest challenges in virtual reality are the price of virtual reality, the lack of quality games, and mobility. Currently virtual reality has an insane price point of $767.61 not including a computer that can run virtual reality. The lack of quality games in virtual reality is the product of no big companies participating in the industry. The only games out for virtual reality are from indie studios. Lastly, the mobility of virtual reality for now is limited to the stationary four censors and the requirement of a computer or console.
