Eoc The beginning of the
end of today’s video game.
What travel agents learned from Expedia, Borders learned from Amazon, Tower Records learned from Apple iTunes and Blockbuster learned from Netflix, the traditional game makers are about to
learn from free-to-play online video game companies: their business is about to
fall off a cliff. Eric Savitz, Forbes Staff
Growing up in the 80’s as a kid, the
biggest thing there was the video arcade. Let’s step back a bit; my local
bowling alley, besides bowling, had a pool hall with some pinball machines and
foosball tables. Then the game, space invaders, came out and everything
changed. The game originally came out in
1978 by the midway games that started in Japan by a designer Tomohiro Nishikado. I saved every quarter from
my lunch money and my part time job to play in the video arcade back then. After
school, I went directly to the arcade with all my friends and just playing whatever
at the time the arcade. But as every good thing that comes out, must come to an
end. The era of the console ended the era of the video arcade. Now the video game console is starting to
come to an end one day. As the video arcades ended, so will the game console
and their dvd counterpart’s.
Horn, an
action-RPG designed for Android and iOS, is being billed as the action game
that tablets and mobile phones have been waiting for. The game has impressive
graphics, and does look quite a lot better than the majority of mobile games.
But murmurs that this is the beginning of the end for consoles are
overwrought, as usual. Erik Kain,
The
biggest craze is portable devices; and I’m not talking about Sony and Nintendo
hand held, but your smart phone and tablet is taking over. Just think about it,
more games are being developed for your phone and tablet and you don’t have to
be home to connect to other players on the internet. There are more game apps,
and some are free, then any other type of app. This important thought; you can
develop your own game and sell it. What will be the next big? I don’t know but
it will be big.
