Designing a game that gamers will love, quite a difficult task and this year should have some of the best.
Video games have only been improving, as game designers figure out more and more ways to make their games next generation worthy. This year game designers have improved greatly at making games with stunning graphics, stories, fighting styles, immersion, and more.
Game designers have realized how much rests on the quality of their games because of how great all the other games have been. They realize that games should be improving and not stay the same quality or a worse quality. The better quality that the game is, the more people that will want to buy it.
According to Michael Andronico of CNN, many great games are set to release this year on every platform, as video games continue to become more entertaining and more stunning, utilizing next gen hardware and graphics.
To paraphrase, some great games were released in 2020 and this year’s video games are going to be even better, truly utilizing the next gen hardware and graphics.
Game designers have also come to realize what types of games and fighting styles people like most and make their game based on how gamers have reacted to various other games in the past. The game designers then use that information to try to make a game that stands out, with their own special, unique features, that the majority of gamers would like.
For example, the majority of gamers like the fighting style known as real time combat. “Real time combat games are always a lot more action packed, interesting, immersive, and generally entertaining than turn based combat games. Turn based combat games are more boring and have poor strategy. Real time combat also transitions better with gameplay and the games with real time combat are more fun in general,” said Nelson.
What Nelson is saying, and what most gamers would most likely agree with, is that real time combat games are generally more fun because there is more action, you are more in the moment, the fighting is more interesting, the fighting is more unpredictable, and for more reasons like that.
That being said, there are many games that have come out in the past, that have had real time combat, and 2021 is no exception. One of these games being the popular Hitman 3. Hitman 3 is a PC, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia game that was released on January 20, 2021, where you are the master of your own destiny. To defeat your enemies, you can either choose to go the quiet route and sneak around, or you can go the loud route and get into many fights, but be careful of this second strategy because there are usually lots of guards surrounding your main target/ enemy.
According to Luke Reilly of IGN, Hitman 3 truly lives up to the next gen standards with its stunning levels and next gen graphics, the best out of the entire Hitman series.
To paraphrase, Hitman 3 truly lived up to the next gen standards, with its stunning levels and next gen graphics.
