The characters I have en counted in books were; Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Transformers etc. mainly all the marvel characters this was because the marvel characters were really famous and well known at the time and still are!! The characters I en counted on TV were also marvel characters on programs like cartoon network, nickelodeon, boomerang etc. soon after that they were in actual films!!...they looked so realistic!!
When you watch the program regularly it builds emotions, feelings for the character!! You feel as if the hero in the program should have a happy ending or win the bad guys etc. whenever the hero is out of power and is getting destroyed for example it gets the viewer upset. So feeling does build up for the characters. My feeling towards the character is general thoughts such as; they should have a happy ending or win the bad guys etc…
I think the technique is quite remarkable because they first build feelings and emotions by the cartoon programs or books and they then release it in the film industry!! So everyone responds to the movie…straight away with high expectations!! That’s the technique most of them use to get response for these characters!!
When the movie is released in the cinema’s everyone expectations are really high!!! So the acting of the actor has to be perfect as he has to resemble to the cartoon character which is not easy. The appearance has to be unexpected and awesome so it shocks the audience!! For example when Spiderman got released I had high expectation…This movie kept my respect as I was satisfied with the movie as it had everything perfect!!
The stories that I find irresistible is having a hero and a villain in the movie!! Because it is always unexpected and definitely has action!! For example Spiderman the movie and Batman the movie have the same type of story (good verses evil)!! But when the movie was watched they were completely different as they viewed the genre in a different ways!!

Week 9
My mind is kind of vague about what consoles I had!! So…let’s start with Sega Mega Drive! I remember the controls…they were kind of wide and had six buttons and the arrows on the left side. Console wasn’t difficult to use! It was easy to adapt to but the control system wasn’t great!! It was uncomfortable when you had to press the sixth button which was at the far right. I think the most comfortable control was made by Playstation. It was definitely comfortable and adjustable and the console wasn’t too difficult to use.
From what I remember I had quite a lot of console’s but what attracted me the most by its design was the PSP Go. Even though I haven’t got the portable console yet…I absolutely adore it!! It is really small and it perfectly fits in between your hands. When this got released I was amazed by the design of how it slides down and leads the screen to be at the top and buttons at the bottom.
Here is the picture of the portable console….PSP GO!!

What do you think???
I think the users won’t have issues with the consoles as it has enlarged so much!! Consoles have now connected with the Internet, TV Soups, DVD’s and Games (obviously) LOL! So there is no room for issues from my concern.
I believe controls are important as much as the console!! If the controls were uncomfortable and hard to adjust to!! It will eventually put you off the console!! Control obviously controls what ever happens in the game so it is important for the control to be an appropriate design and it has to be easy, adjustable and comfortable to use. If the control is bad it could take the console down with it. So yes it could be a dying technology.

Week 8
I love games that involve strong storyline because it makes me feel as if I’m playing towards a brilliant ending and it gets me attached to the game! For example, ‘Metal Gear Solid 4’!
For me ‘Metal Gear Solid 4’ is one of my favourite game at all time because I was so impressed with the immense change of graphics, game play and a beautiful storyline(simply perfect). I believe the story gave a perfect ending touch to the game. Metal Gear 4 was always story based so Hideo Kojima knew that it had to be good but he also knew that people had high expectations so he had to improve the graphics and game play. Another game for example ‘Tekken’! I know it hasn’t got the best story but the game play covers it all. The reason why I chose these two games is because they are completely different and they will simplify what I am about to say. I like games including the story and some time I will just like to play for fun. Basically it depends on my mood. So I do not think that the story makes the game better. It depends on the game…. if it’s interesting, different and addictive.
If the game brings excitement and entertainment then it will be a huge success from what I believe. A game needs to attract its audience by the game play, graphics etc. As in Demo’s it never shows the story just the game play. Then it is decided by the audience if they want to purchase the game. Well story is important because it could bring a disappointing ending. So story is important in my opinion story is important because it gives a satisfying ending to the game which leads the audience to have no issues. If you know what I mean!!!
Story does not make a better game but it gives a satisfying ending what gives a better game is entertainment, excitement and game play from my view…

Week 7
Art Director general role to the busines is to be in charge of everything. He or she will assess evryones work individually!! they will then criticise about....if the character visualizes its mood properly or if the visual appeareance is appropriate etc.they will basically keep an eye with everyone to see if they are leading to the right direction of achieving the audience satisfaction.
The difficult problem that a director faces is visualizing desired moods, message, concepts and undeveloped ideas into imagery. For example...During brainstorming ideas the art director will have to combine everyone imaginations and put it in one which is really hard!! The art director will get pressured during the time as it will have to be perfect because one little mistake could lead the entire group to flop! So when the art director modifies the end result of how the finishing piece will look like it will have to be perfect.
Art Directors are also responsible to print and web. It includes photo research, chasing down for permissions, cleaning and sizing art, making more or less graphic templates and assembling stuff into online galleries. So an art director will have to punctual and busy at all time.
Yes I definitely think that being an ‘Art Director’ is definitely a creative role as they visualize and create the mood of the characters.
I strongly think that there would be a lot of similarities between an ‘Art Director’ and ‘Film Director’. The first similarity is that they both are directors so they would be in charge of everything so they would be responsible for everything. They will have to be punctual and be in control in all time. So there job role will be the same but the programme they will be using will be different and there would be some similarities programme. Such as camera angle will be used by both but in different ways.
What qualities would I need to develop? Erm….damn loads.
I will have to work on my presentation skills, evaluation skills and decision makings. I will also have to develop on my drawings skills as the perspective and mood has to be perfectly visualized as I will be responsible for any mistake which could put my whole team in jeopardy and right decisions will have to be made at all time.
This is scaring me already!!! L So much pressure! O well needs to be done..!

Week 6
Okay here it goes…what is meant by game play? It basically means someone taking control of the game. When a player connects with the game it creates game play! Soon after…player takes full control! Then it depends on, what the player does. In the other hand game play also allows the player to decide on purchasing the game after playing the demo.
So who are the leading lights in game design? Well to start with there are loads!! They basically decide if the game is appropriate by checking the game play, graphics, character design, environments etc basically they check the overall and they also check if it will be successful for the marketing environment. They control everything as they are called the leaders LOL! So they basically lead it to success.
So where does game play take place in the modern developer? Erm…Game design will obviously be created first. They will obviously browse ideas before they actually go in to developing the game. I believe they will brainstorm ideas first then create few sketches or concept art and then decided from there. So designing will be the first before they develop.
Is it a single person’s responsibility? Of course not!! Unless it was specially made for the person as a gift anyways….a game is not a single’s responsibility!! During the time when they create the game they think about every individual person of what they will want in the game play which could be done by questionnaires for example. They then take everyone ideas and then merge it together. So it is definitely not a single person responsibility!!
So does different genre include different principles? Do they? Yes!! Absolutely! First of all there are many genre for a game for example, Fighting, Racing, Adventure, Shooting, Fishing etc. for different genre there are different principles!! Obviously…as they won’t add the same style of game plays in a shooting genre to a fighting genre!! In a shooting game I could imagine them focusing on the guns, environment and first person view as all shooting games have first person view!! As a fighting game they will be focusing on the character design and movement of the character etc. so different principles will be focused in different genres.
So what’s important for me during game play? Well first of all the graphics has to be good as I love games that look realistic!! If it doesn’t!! I tend to loose interest as it keeps showing its doll and fake!!!! I know its crazy but it’s me!! However if the graphics is bad but the game play is fun and interesting then it will be fine. So it really depends on the graphics, game play and story line. I love games that involve storyline…

Week 4
Having the qualifications of English and media (journalist) does not mean you’re a reviewer it could mean a lot more. You could only be a good reviewer if you have the knowledge, the history of games and getting information to the public by few sentences. The reviewer has to be really good on what they do and most of all should enjoy their job. The main intention of a reviewer is to get the attention of the public eye by their opening statement. So it will have to be professionally done.
Issues will be accounted if the reviewers have made a false statement about the game or over exaggerated. For example if I have brought the game after reading the review mentioning that it’s one of the best game of all time etc. but when it was played I was really disappointed as it was nothing like the reviewers have told I would be really annoyed. So I think the reviewers could only face issues if they are not telling the truth as the reviews catches the public eye. So they better be careful on what they say. In my opinion a reviewer telling the truth is never unless if I am satisfied with the review!
A reviewer will obviously get paid by the game company of who wants to advertise their game to the public. If a new game were released the director will want good insight of the game play and story from the reviewers. Reviewers will only get paid if they wrote good things about the game. This is where it becomes difficult for the public to trust the reviewers. Sometimes reviewers add their own judgement about the game which will obviously be the truth. I will think of it as an opinion and adhere to my decision.
The rank system is created by the public opinions and votes and then gets placed in the category. After every game was voted they all had a percentage or been ranked out of 10. This was done to show its popularity and how good the game actually is. I believe the rank is necessary because it makes it easier to decide. Some people might decide after watching the game play or by playing the demo. Most of the time they do give a disc with the magazine which is very thoughtful in my opinion as I think it’s more preferable to make your decision after playing the demo or watching clips of the game.

Week 3
In the 2000’s many consoles were created such as Play station 3, X box360, Nintendo etc. These consoles were no ordinary consoles they were multi platinum consoles with huge enhanced graphics, motion and design that were heavenly created for mankind. However every console was popular during their release, yet for some! But these consoles made millions of profit as they were well none due to their popularity. However these were the consoles that sold millions. I will get back to this after I answer all the questions to my task 3. I will try my best to explain thoroughly as possible.
What do I want from gaming in the future? from my view, graphics is not an issue as it satisfiers the players but I still believe it can be possible to exaggerate to a certain extent till the characters, environments and other elements within the game realistic for example if I clashed a movie with a game I expect not to see a difference. I also expect the game to make the player feel as if, he is in the game. For example the movie ‘the gamer’ I will be taking forever if I explain the movie. Here is the site stated http://www.cinematical.com/2009/09/04/review-gamer/ this is not quite what I intend but something similar to this kind but I do not want the game to start taking lives for example. I also intend the game to created a goggles the shows the in site of the game so it makes the player feel realistic as possible. These are my crazy ideas for the future as the present started to make it seem possible.
I own these consoles; Ps3, Nintendo WII, Nintendo Ds and PSP. I think that Playstation three is my favourite console as I’m on it 24/7 and the game i am addicted is metal gear solid 4. I strongly think this game is fabulous and the online is good i wouldn’t say its brilliant but the game play is just simply beautiful. I recommend everyone to check it out.
