Christmas Holiday Task
First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR :D I hope you all had a
fantastic Christmas!
Before we broke up for our Christmas break we were given
the brief for BA5 Contextual Studies. The project concentrates on platform and
distribution where we are considering the possibilities and limitations
presented by different gaming platforms, their place in the market and how
digital games are both marketed and distributed. The project is going to
conclude in the form of a 2000 word essay following the progression of our
contextual studies lectures and studies throughout the project.
However I am getting slightly ahead of myself. We haven’t actually started back for our
second term yet although we have been tasked with a small study project to get
us started which needs to be completed over the Christmas break. The project is
to consider a strategically important industry development which has taken
place over the last 20 years and research them so that we can produce a five
minute presentation upon our return to university.
Downloadable Content
After doing some initial research on the greatest gaming
innovations and sifting through multiple topics (such as the
ability to explore 3D worlds, the beginning of stealth gameplay and how it has
evolved & deep storytelling with the inclusion of conversation trees) I finally settled
on the topic downloadable content, or DLC as it’s commonly referred to.
Now that I have established my topic of interest I will
move onto doing further research and also post up my findings from today but
for now I am off to enjoy some quality time with my PS3 ;)
