Artistic styles unit 78 kurt bremner

There are many different styles in which we make games and many games designers will combine styles for more effect and to make it look unique.

Photo realistic games

A large amount of games are made in this style including some of the more recent and popular games. Games like call of duty and the batman series.  Photo realistic means that they are trying to make the game look as real as possible. There are many obstacles what games developers face in making photo realistic games such as is make fully destructible building/objects. Your computer will have to be extremely powerful to accomplish this. However with the unreal engine 4 and the cryengine may be able to accomplish sooner hopefully

Exaggerated artistic design

Exaggerated games are like cartoony anime style games. A recent example of an exaggerated game is dragon ball xenoverse a common trait in the characters in an exaggerated game style is that they have large eyes like in an anime. Another trait is that they use bright and vibrant colours to make them stand out. A large amount of these kind of games are on the Nintendo wii and DS. A good example of these games are the Naruto ninja storm series, final fantasy and devil may cry.

Cel shading

Games which were created in this style often look like they have straight of a comic book. They often have bring colours. Also gameplay is normally is like a comic book. A good example of game with this artistic style is the amazing Spiderman I believe this game makes you feel like you are in a comic book.

Pixelated artistic style

 Although some of these games look extremely simple there are a huge amount of games which are made like this and they are really successful. Terraria is one of those games. I’m not sure if mine craft is though. However it is definitely a cross category with a pixelated game.
