I also played Galaga and Pong many years ago in middle school and high school, but when you compare those games to MW2, Metal Gear Solid 4 and others, the levels of depth and complexity are much more engaging. You have to come up with a strategy and make choices. If the enemy AI is good, it makes the world that much more believable. Pong, on the other hand, is much less engaging in my opinion. When virtual reality games become common, THEN COD, MW2 and other games will be passe.
I have a question for you, how is the name of the dispositive that they use on the minute 07:37??, the dispositive is with they paint the car on the computer!!! PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!!! Thanks!!
this vid was made when i was 2...now im 13...and i'm sooooo greatful...now the video games have a lot better graphix...we have spiderman web of shadows, prince of persia. tomb rider underworld, sims 3! i love thet the gaming industry is getting better and better...when i am going to be 30 there will be a lot of good games that i will play with my kids on the newest console....now i'm a bit sad that my father doesn't buy even a PS2 for me.....SAD!
i'm almost 14 now...and i think what i said 9 months ago was kind of silly...lol . and i don't want any consosles now. and i can't play"spiderman web of shadows, prince of persia. tomb rider underworld, sims 3".my computer's almost dead...i wonder what will i say 9 months from now!!!!
At the time this video was produced there had already been a great deal of television produced talking about the "benefits" of gaming. This video was designed to be critical. Insert Coin has no obligation to be "objective" and does not seek to be. The main purpose is to encourage gamers to think critically about video games without dismissing the importance of video games in their lives. Keep the comments coming. Thanks.
You're absolutely right, realism is not important in most games. Even racing games are often more fun when you can make crazy fast turns without actually spinning out (like you would in real life). Definitely uninformed report.
I clicked past this vid after about 1 minute. Realism? Since when is WoW realistic? It's about being CHALLENGING and FUN! Which reality, in my experience, often is not :P
I'm not sure you mean "realism". That's a red herring. I think you mean verisimilitude combined with systemic consistency (verb completeness etc.). Realism implies simulation, and yet clearly, not all games try to simulate real life.
I agree. But realism in the context of video games also entails a discussion about the seamless immersion into the virtual reality. The actual "reality" of the game may be a story, a made-up fantasy world. However, the realism is the manner in which the technology and gameplay are so seamless that the play becomes fully immersed in the fantasy world. It is a realistic experience of the simulation.
@JunkerJames There's also a word for using words like versimilitude when people are likely to interpret a word like realism correctly. It's obfuscation, and a wise writer is advised to eschew it.
@trbot :) I understood it without having to look it up. I'm not much of a writer, admittedly, but I don't fully agree with you. Words have subtle meanings which are not captured particularly eloquently in long definition form. Accessibility can sometimes really slow the confluence of ideas. I always feel I lose nothing by dispelling my ignorance of a word, and don't tend to worry about looking ignorant when asking for clarification. Most of the time, people are glad to elaborate.
@JunkerJames Well, hipsters do annoy me so, yes, I did respond for that reason. I'll even cede that precision in vocabulary can make for eloquent, meaningful conversation. I just have trouble understanding why someone would go so far as to teach someone a new word over a few posts in order to make a point. You wouldn't get far teaching a technical/scientific/mathematical subject if you worked that way. In fact, educators tend to anthropomorphize and simplify to smooth uptake.
"Realism" huh. Nintendo must have missed the memo.

Wow, it lloks old but the main idea behind making a video is still there.
I found it interesting how a modeler was using a 3d pen to insert points for the final model rather than modeling t himself....
