Game movie

1. What are some of the reasons video games were successful? What makes a game popular?

I think video game industry was successful because it was something new, not having to always spend outside playing soccer or being active and for once you can be as lazy as you want to be and play games.

Music, story telling, art/graphics, and not awkward game plays/voice acting may had a big influence in the video game industry. Games like The Last of Us had a story about apocalypse during our era and the character Joel lost his daughter as soon as the game started by a military man and it made people who played that first 20 minutes sad. Another game is To the moon, this game doesn`t have voice acting but the story and the music made the game sad, the story is about two scientist whom changes the memory of a dying man to much more a happy story by making the mans dream come true, to go to the moon with someone he loved.        

2. What are some of the reasons why the video game industry crashed in the 1980s?

It mostly failed because Atari thought that they could make any games that had no work actually put into it, just like E.T the game had really no story or not much detail was put in it. 

3. Do you think video games are a form of art? Why or why not?

For some people the character and the surrounding in games may not be much but everything you see in games was designed by a designer everything from details to small grass to individual hair moving on its own is all done by people, so yes it is some kind of form of art.    

4. What is the next evolution in video games? What are the challenges that need to be solved in the next generation of games?

I don`t really know, the game evolution can go in many different routes. The challenges might be trying to satisfy the gamers with new contends, as we move forward with the future the game industry companies maybe are running out of ideas on which way to go. For example, battlefield, Call of Duty, Counter Strike and many more FPS games.
