OSP & Videogames: An introduction

-

 Watch the YouTube video outlining the history of the videogames industry from the 1970s to the 2010s. Now answer the following questions:


1) What were the first videogames like?

The first games were different as the quality from our games had a huge difference and the games were more 2d games cause they just found about making games.


2) How have videogames changed over time?

The game quality had  gotten even better every year and the smoothness of every game had gotten better overtime.


3) What do the most successful games have in common? Answer this in as much detail as you can. Think about audience pleasures - what do people like about playing videogames?


They all started as 2d games and slowly turned into 3d games like Mario ,car racing,gta,soic and pokemon.

People might like that that are things that they can do in the game world instead of the real world.

4) What criticisms have been made towards videogames?

Consoles of games were expensive at that time and there were not many genres unless if they had violence in it.


Now answer the following questions:

1) At the time of the article, how many Fortnite players were there worldwide? (Bonus question - how many are there now? Try Googling it.)

There were more than 200million people worldwide and now there are 3-4million people playing it.

2) Why is it so popular? What are the audience pleasures of the game?

It was a game where you were just having fun with the power of violence and no series with this shooting game.

3) Why might some people criticise Fortnite?

People might criticise fortnite because each time they update the game it would only keep getting worse than before.

4) Copy and paste two comments from 'below the line' of the Guardian article - these are comments written by Guardian readers in response to the feature. Select one comment you agree with and one you disagree with and explain why

"Wish we can go back to the good old days. Seeing all our friends online, no one sweating. Good times"
Fortnite before was build to people to have fun but now people changed and all they think about is is winning.


"Still a great game"
I disagree because the game was better in its prime but now is filled with people hating each other when playing it.
