While gaming may have been accepted as a sport, with various tournaments held worldwide every year, can the wide variety of original styles and designs be considered as art?
To help you decide, read The Art of Video Games and take a look at the Gaming Art Gallery.
Then tell us what you think below!
It really depends on the video games. But there is a lot of art involved with each game that is made. I would argue that all video games are art, while some are better peices of art than others, or some have more artistic value or input than others. Anything made by a craftsman can be called art, and video games are not an exception.
To me games are art. the amount of work/time that goes into turning an idea into a graphically interesting game is far longer than most typical works of art.
There are some games out there with almost film-like graphics, how can such detail not be seen as art.
Sure games are art. I wonder how many copies the average game sells. Even completed games are so good they get played time and a again. I respect the makers of video games better than lets say Movie and Music Stars. I would like to be able to shows on the radio discussing Pc games especially for when I'm driving, that would be cool.
HOW CAN A WELL EXECUTED & APPRECIATED IMAGE/DESIGN FAIL TO BE ART?
If it got you intrested for hours sure its got to be?
