To understand what video games are, you first need to know the many reasons why, due to their diversity, we could well define them as different. But since there are so many of them, it’s better to shorten it and start soon. Let’s see.
Let’s start with the fact that video games recreate virtual scenarios and events. There, the same participant can control both one and several actors. Although you can also do this with any other component of the environment or scenario. In this way, it seeks to crystallize one or more goals by following certain rules.
In the case of interaction, it should be said that it develops by watching a video game on a video output unit, which may well be a TV or monitor.
In these methods, operational information is recorded in capsules, CDs or any other forms of collection specifically for these games. Although they can also be played online.
About the size, there are for every taste. Some are even pocket-sized.
It’s also clear that the immense popularity achieved by these forms of recreation in the late 70s spawned a powerful industry that continues to this day.
There are several ways to interact with a video game, although an external mechanism is always convenient. However, this would be classified as wrong because there are mobile consoles that make it easier to play with a touch visor.
And, while it may sound amazing, it can also be done using the energy generated when you blow into video games. This is the case of the Nintendo DS, which works thanks to pressure sensors.
The same goes for the team’s own motion, which simulates the motion in the game itself.
Its external elements include a keyboard and mouse, gamepad or controls, levers, or even modern elements such as motion detectors such as the Wiimote handheld for the Wii; pressure sensors such as foundation mats with sensors; and those for capturing images such as the PlayStation EyeToy.
Although voice can also be used in these compatible video games using voice processors.
The game is played between a person and a device (computer, arcade or video game console). It can also be done between two or more people on the same console, either over a local area network or through the Internet or other computer networking as a matter of course.
