CVG - The debate about whether games are, or are not, art has always struck me as deeply stupid, for the following two reasons.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland.

Movies are art... Some of them...
Music is art... Some of it...
Art is art... Some of it...
Games have all of the above in them, they just film CG models rather then over paid people. So yeah, games are art. They tell stories, compose music, and have teams of artist making them come to life... Some of them...
The Flowers of Roger Mapplethorpe begs to differ....
Lmao whoever watches AVGN will understand this lol
This is good... isn't it?
Everything is art as soon as you proclaim it is. Watch a documentary called Exit through the gift shop and you'll see. The whole "that's not art because it differs from what we call art" is just pretentious douchebaggery.
Every single videogame ever made is art, just like every single movie or story, or song ever written is art too. You ever draw a stick figure? Thats art, yuo are a regular picasso. no one has overhyped you drawing to the point of being wanted tho. Its still art. If jackson pollok or whater is considered an artist then so am I, because Ive used spin art and done finger paintings.
art is nothing more than expressing yourself in a medium that can be shared with others, it doesnt have to be good, liked or popular to be art.
All videogames are made by artists of various types and all are art. If you get enough duchy hipsters to like your crappy art then it can be considered a work of art and some moron will pay tons of money for crap.
These morons like to pretend like there is some standard to determine what is and isnt art, any expression that is transfered to a medium is art, these people just want to tell you what is and isnt good so that they can make us think we need deuchy hipsters to make art for us. Reality is that anyone can make art and noone has to say it is good or that it is art for it to be art.
