week 6

Gameplay to me is how easy it is to get into the mood of playing a game, or how addictive that game becomes. I beleive that the rules of gameplay change from genre to genre and the the rules change depending on the person also. At the end of the day its impossible to please everybody, but its not impossible to make it inseresting enough to get the majority of people to play it.
In relation to who is the leading lights in games design, with 3 new consoles just arrived or about to arrive i.e xbox 360, nintendo wii and playstation 3 is it not too soon to say who will become the leading lights in games design? and is that not more important than who is leading at the moment. For instance as the xbox 360 has been out for a little while that will obviously have a larger following that the playstation 3 , so as for next gen games design the future and leader is undecided. The development of a game is and should never be the responcibility of a singular person, if this ever became the case then that game may be doomed before its launched. If a single person makes a game that means that there is only that persons style and experiences inputted into that game never mind the ammount of time and stress upon that person.
To me the most important thing to me when i play a game is relation, if i can relate to a game or a charecter, atmosphere etc within a game it make that game alot more fun for me than a game i know absolutly nothing about , this also relates to why you buy a game and how advertisement affects what you expect from a game.
