A Video of the Evolution of Video Gaming
The video i posted from YouTube illustrates the evolution of video gaming from a time it was something individuals did on a game board to the visual representation on a screen through the use of a joystick or game pad. We have come a long way from the days of simplicity (Pacman) to an age of complexity (Gears of War). The basketball clip shows how the graphics changed as we added more pixels giving it more definition. The basketball characters have evolved to what we see today which are close to their accurate description. The recent jump from 480i television to 720p and 1080p television shows how far we come in less than five years. Standard def has been replaced by high def. What is in store of the future of video gaming? We will find out more next week.

Thanks for the video on the evolution of video games. I think we should show it in class!
ReplyDeletei really liked the video on the evolution of video games i never really realized how far we've gone since pacman and the atari games. it is really funny how much we used to love those old games and how much we they used to fascinate us with the graphics. now i would never think of playing them now with all the advancements in graphics and how realistic games are.
