The world of video games is changing. Gone are the days of separate decks and loading screens that took ten minutes to load a 2-D gaming platform (when loaded correctly) controlled by laborious clave-trazos or a joystick with triggers rather than a jetfighter.
While older platforms remain a cult and devotion of those grew up with them, the arrival of the game console and controller announced a new it was in which unfolds with almost every release.
As the technology and capabilities of the console games have grown, so also has its popularity. No longer see people who play computer games as social outcasts. The game industry is enormous, when it was the last time that you turn on the television and not see and announcement of a console or a game? The only Xbox 360 has gone 22 million unites the world.
Microsoft, probably the biggest name in computing, afternoon were joining the market, but they soon became leaders of the pack and a level of competence with Sony with the launch of its latest Xbox 360 and your Xbox. So what makes this seventh generation console and the world of the games so popular?
Apart from the fact that consoles can be used for more games (some have argued that it gives better dvd playback to your dedicated dvd player) perhaps the biggest key to increasing retention of console games is the social aspect.
A computer game was an arcade was once a solitary pastime, then during multiplayer games. Suddenly took the appeal of beating your peers in racing or them leveling in a fighting game. More and more games had multiplayer options or were developed with two players in mind - anyone remember Double Dragon?
Although what happens to beat one of your friends is not enough? The desire to earn more than one person lead to games that could offer split-screen for four games, then the connections between consoles lead to multiples growing even new consoles have gone further than necessary drivers for such connections with the fifth generation consoles.
Online Games: you could say that it is one of the great motivators in the boom in sales of the console. There is for your friends that even in the same House to play the same game. Players are able to play the players around the world and in the same way that the games were once designed with two players in mind, modern games are designed with gaming in mind online gambling.
In line with the development of a social game, has grown the world of console and Xbox accessories . Chat drivers allow you to talk to the players his compete through a wireless headset.
As consoles gain in power, soundtracks for games are no longer the bicolour tones were once. Games sound strong to appreciate a tank in a WWII game or an excited crowd at a football match. The money spent on the development of a (not just music) soundtrack for a game now takes a large part of the budget for the development of games so it is just to appreciate it.
The problem is that the neighbors might not appreciate it. The headphones have been developed accordingly. Headphones Wireless and amplification mean that the player loses none of the soundtrack and does not have these unsightly wires on the way - in line with the wireless controller. These headphones also allow the social game continue with built-in microphones so that games can keep mockery of his opponents.
This does not mean returning to the game being a solitary pastime - players alone in a room with a pair of headphones and a console. Several players can join online platforms from the same console and room, each with their own headphones or headsets.
Online gaming has created social groups around certain games and interact with them has become part of the attraction of the games: speak with players from around the world from an armchair with wireless headphones and the developments of technology on game consoles.
Consoles are available in different specifications to suit the needs of the user, the enormous scope of accessories means greater personalization in gaming configurations. Social game that is also personal.
