This document provides a summary of some of the most anticipated PC games coming out in 2015. It discusses six games: Evolve, Batman: Arkham Knight, Mighty No. 9, Bloodborne, The Order: 1886, and Mortal Kombat X. For each game it provides the developer, release date, platforms, and a 1-2 sentence description of the game and what makes it anticipated. The document suggests that 2015 looks to be a strong year for new games, especially those taking advantage of new consoles and PC.
The document compares the PS Vita, 3DS, and iPhone 5S mobile gaming platforms. It finds that while the PS Vita is the most powerful, it has sold the least at only 8.43 million units due to its higher price and lack of simple, pass-the-time games preferred by mobile gamers. In contrast, the cheaper 3DS has sold over 44 million units benefited from its younger-audience games like Pokemon and Animal Crossing. The iPhone 5S has the most gaming choices and has sold over 9.75 billion units, indicating simple games like Angry Birds are ideal for on-the-go mobile gaming.
This document summarizes and compares two gaming consoles: the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. It describes the PlayStation 4 as the most powerful console that is focused on gaming experiences rather than media. It established itself as the console to beat for its power and lower price of £350 compared to the Xbox One's original £380 price. The document also characterizes the Xbox One as Microsoft's most ambitious console yet, designed to be the center of your home for gaming as well as streaming TV, movies, music and Skype calls. It has received a £30 price cut to £399.99 in February 2014.
This document contains a survey with questions about gaming habits and opinions on gaming. It asks respondents about what gaming consoles they own or have owned, how much they keep up with gaming news, and whether family members also play video games. It also includes reviews of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U consoles that discuss their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, it outlines hypothetical specifications and costs for building a custom "Animus" gaming console.

While more expensive, it can play games in full HD at high resolutions and frame rates superior to other current consoles. In conclusion, the presentation compares the Camcube420xx specs to the Xbox One and PS4 and acknowledges that many may prefer cheaper competitors that still allow gaming.
This document contains summaries of various video games, comments about gaming platforms like PlayStation 3, and discussions around gaming. Some key games mentioned include Civilization 3, Age of Empires 2, Max Payne, Killzone 3, Battlefield 3, Resident Evil 5, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, World of Warcraft, Dead Island, Aliens: Colonial Marines, and Minecraft.

Microsoft created the Xbox games console in 2001 to rival the PS2. The original was successful and led to further iterations like the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. While powerful, the Xbox consoles have generally been outsold by the PlayStation series from Sony. Nintendo originally made playing cards but became a video game company, producing consoles like the Nintendo 64 and Wii U. Apple started as a computer company and produced the popular iPhone smartphone in 2007, which became the best-selling phone despite its premium price.
The document provides an analysis of the 7th generation game console industry, focusing on the major players Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii between 2005-2013. It summarizes that:
1) Nintendo succeeded through a differentiated strategy targeting casual gamers with its low-cost and motion-sensing Wii console, outselling rivals.
2) Both Microsoft and Sony focused on hardcore gamers but struggled with high production costs, though built strong brands and game libraries.
3) The industry now faces challenges from mobile/social gaming, but console gaming remains lucrative with new revenue models and popular franchises.
The document summarizes several notable video game consoles across the 6th and 7th generations, including the Atari Lynx (1989), Sega Game Gear (1990), PlayStation (1994), Sega Saturn (1994-1995), Nintendo GameCube (2001), Microsoft Xbox (2001), Nintendo DS (2004), PlayStation Portable (2005), Nintendo Wii (2006), and Nintendo Wii U (2012). It discusses the key features and competitors of each console.
The document provides background information on several video game consoles:
- The Atari 2600, released in 1977, was the first mainstream home video game console and helped launch the industry.
- The Nintendo DS, released in 2004, was a handheld console known for its dual-screen design and voice recognition features.
- The Nintendo Wii, released in 2006, distinguished itself from competitors with its wireless motion-sensing controller.
In the 1970s and 1980s:
- The first coin-operated video game was created in 1971, and the first mass-produced video game was released in 1971.
- The video game industry crashed in 1977 due to overproduction.
- Handheld gaming began in 1989 with the release of the Game Boy.
In the 1990s and 2000s:
- Video gaming transitioned to 3D graphics and new genres emerged.
- Cloud gaming services were announced in 2009 that allowed rendering games remotely.
Looking to the future:
- New consoles and ways to play games are being developed, moving us closer to a future where all games can be played on new machines.
Spyro the Dragon revolutionized 3D open world games on PS1 by eliminating fogging through an engine that reduced polygon counts at a distance. This allowed for greater landscape detail. Later games like GTA 5 still use fogging to reduce polygon loads and create a sense of depth. While 2D games don't need fogging, 3D open world games must consider hardware limitations through techniques like fogging or innovative engines to balance visuals and performance.
The document provides a history of handheld video games from their origins to present and future prospects. It describes early systems from Nintendo, Atari, and Sega in the 1980s-90s like the Game Boy, Lynx, Game Gear and Nomad. Later generations saw the introduction of color, backlights, clamshell designs and connectivity. Modern devices like the Nintendo DS, PSP and 3DS added dual screens, motion controls and 3D capabilities. While Xbox has not entered the handheld market, cellular phones may eventually converge all portable functions. Handheld gaming has grown enormously in popularity and commercial success over the decades.
- Early 3D games like Spyro the Dragon and Turok: Dinosaur Hunter used "fogging" techniques to reduce polygon counts and render distances due to hardware limitations, which improved performance but reduced visual quality.
- Modern consoles have much more powerful hardware, eliminating the need for unnecessary fogging and allowing for higher levels of landscape detail and resolution in games. However, some fogging effects are still used for atmospheric purposes.
- The debate around differences in the Xbox One and PS4 versions of games like Call of Duty: Ghosts stems from the PS4's ability to output true 1080p resolution compared to the Xbox One's upscaled 720p, despite minimal visible differences.
