Video Games Genres Part III

RPG (Role Playing Game)

 The RPG genre  is direct descendant of hybrid action-adventure genre. Like the adventure genre, RPG is characterized by a well developed story and high quality, but there are also puzzles and action elements of the genre, such as violence and fighting. What distinguishes him from his descendant  action-adventure hybrid, is an advanced evolution of the character:the character gains experience after battles or  targets, which is then used in the development of certain skills of various types. In an RPG,ther are present the so-called quests, missions received from other characters that have different goals and different ways of solving that result usually with a reward :money, items or experience. It is also important to know that most RPGs are placed in medieval fantasy worlds, but this is not a criterion that characterizes the genre.

These games incorporate strategic play as an alternative to traditional play.Like in traditional ones, the player controls a party, fights the enemy but the difference is that there is a strategic tactic  present. Example: Last III: Exodus

• Action RPG
Each player controls a character in real time, putting the highlight on action.A common challenge in these RPGs is to include content beyond killing enemies.With the large number of items that must be collected ,sites, locations and samples that are found in this game,it can be difficult to create depth needed to give players a unique experience tailored to the beliefs, choices and actions. .Example: Diablo, The Legend of Zelda, Sacred,: Dragon Slayer series.

 

• Roguelike

It is a 2D dungeon crawl with a high emphasis on developing the disorder and static character .These types of games borrow elements from the game Rogue.

• Massively Multiplayer Online RPG (MMORPG)

There are just like traditional RPGs, the only difference is that they incorporate hundreds of players that  interact with one another in real time.  

   Video Games Genres Part One

   Technology industry has greatly advanced in recent decades, the most important achievements are in the IT field .Today, processors and graphics cards have advanced greatly,from which  video games benefit.
Video games are very popular especially among young people but many adults over 30 years have gained this passion.Many fans start to play at an early age, small games that are not difficult, then move forward.
This "industry" of video games has evolved a lot and still is.
   Today,you have available many types of video games to choose from.
   Each category has its own video game fans, depending on individual personality and preferences.
   A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction between humans and an interface that generates feedback on a video device.You can play on a PC, console(Xbox,PS).
   Video games are categorized by their gender.There is no universally accepted criteria.
   The following is a classification of the most common video game genres with a brief description and examples. Many of the games can be found in several categories due to the subjective nature of many genres. For example Legend of Zelda game series has elements of action, adventure and RPG. This becomes increasingly more pronounced because many of the games that are produced nowadays are already designed to be hybrid, combining the features of one or more styles (eg action RPG like Diablo, Vagrant Story, and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance).
   The main categories of video games:
Action
Action games are basically games where a player uses his reflexes, precision to overcome traps, obstacles to carry out his "mission".
• Fighting

These games emphasize one-on-one battle between two characters, one of which can be controlled by the computer.
Many of these games include a single player mode, but the real draw to this genre is the ability to demonstrate one's skill games against a friend. Examples of franchises in this genre include Street Fighter, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Virtual Fighter, Dead or Alive, King of Fighters, and Bloody Roar.


Shooter

• FPS (first person shooter)
A FPS is a game in which the player follows the action from the perspective of the first person . Another element that characterizes the FPS genre is that the games that are part of this category shows the player a diverse arsenal of firearms. Example: Crysis, Far Cry 2,Call of Duty.


• TPS (Third Person Shooter)

The player follows the action from a perspective in which the character of the game is seen from a distance. This view gives the player a wider view of the surroundings, as opposed to the view limited first-person shooter.
• Shoot'em up
It is a shooter game genre in which the player controls a character or a vehicle (often a spaceship) and large numbers of enemies while stopped projectiles intrare.Examples: Space Invaders, Space War.
• Tactical Shooter
These games are like variations of the first and third person shooter that focuses on realism and highlight the tactical, such as planning and teamwork. Winning is likely to be dependent on capturing a target, rather than to gain when killing a lot of them.Example:: Raven Shield
• Rail Shooter
It is a sub-genre of first-person shooter, the  navigating through the game environment is not under the player's control explicitly. This type of game limits  interaction between player and tactical objectives of each stage, and progresses from scene to scene by moving the camera specific player positions, along map..Example: House of the Dead
