Video games intro
1) What were the first video games like?
The first video games were created through post war mainframes so it wouldn’t be that advanced like in this generation of video games
2) How have videogames changed over time?
They created more access abilities for everyone through consoles and developed like more colour and advanced games.
3) What do the most successful games have in common?
In my opinion, most successful games focus on their target audience and try and catch their eye on to the games and this creates popularity as the news about the game will be spread.
4) What criticisms have been made towards videogames over the years?
Most video games have some sort of shooting or some sort of violence in their games to make it thrilling and exciting for their target audience - which is teenagers.
1) How many Fortnite players are there worldwide?
12.3 million concurrent players.
2) Why is it so popular? What are the audience pleasures of the game?
They only get popular through other people’s opinion on the game. For example, many youtubers Like vikstar123 has subscribers. As he makes videos about Fortnite or play the games his subscribers will have the urge to play it spread the word as many people cannot control their excitement or emotion as will eventually tell someone.
3) Why might some people criticise Fortnite?
?4) Copy and paste two comments from 'below the line' of the Guardian article - these are comments written by Guardian readers in response to the feature. Select one comment you agree with and one you disagree with and explain why.
A fantastic game for all the family. The violence is cartoon-like, not gratuitous or graphic. I limit my children to only playing the Playstation at the weekends. Simple.
terrible idea

terrible idea
1) your kids will grow up despising you
2) they will see you'd rather they be bored and miserable then do what they enjoy just cause you object to it and resent you for it
3) Computer games naturally get them more engaged in computing which leads being interested in Science and engineering
4) a game like this teaches co-operation, creativity, social skills, problem solving and a competitive spirit
5) if they do well at the game they earn a sense of confidence
6) their friends likely play it, and you've just isolated them from their friends making them shut-ins and removing their sense of confidence as everyone they know takes part through the week and you've limited them to the weekend
7) any homework or studying goes better with allotted breaks else it becomes an unbearable task and they learn nothing
8) let them do what they want, its only way they will really learn and develop
