The online evolution of gaming

By Faust Principe August 27, 2015

Now that video games are the world’s biggest entertainment industry, easily surpassing both movies and music, there’s always intense competition amongst games developers to check the trends on how this massive market is growing.

And with the advent of new mobile technologies, there have been some interesting trends in gaming behaviour. So here are some surprising gaming trends.

Since the rise of the iconic Apple iPhone, smartphones have become a massive part of our daily lives. And gaming in particular has benefited greatly from the ease with which people can play games on the go.

For example, whereas shoot em’ ups had long been associated with advanced console technology with games such as Call of Duty taking advantage of incredible graphic abilities, there are now versions of these games that have been adapted for mobile use.

The smartphone game Call of Duty: Strike Team offers an impressive adaptation of the shooting and strategic gameplay from the palm of your hand. And with a live leaderboard that allows you to compete against friends, it’s a clear victory for convenience.

Another key aspect of how mobile technology has benefited gamers is through the vast choice of games that are now available in the online domain. Whereas traditional console games often cost millions of dollars to develop and market, simple online games can often be developed by just one person and sold at a fraction of the price.

This has led to a huge breakthrough in games that bypass traditional arcade video games styles. So now we can see a vast array of online casino games from the likes of Uptown Aces that offer a fun and easy way of playing with a pleasing variety of aesthetics such as a special T-Rex slot game that provide a subtle change from the traditional gaming format. Through the use of online technology there is now an infinite number of styles that can be applied to such traditional games in a way that can cater to even the most select of audiences.

And then there is the phenomenal rise of puzzle games such as Candy Crush Saga that are able to maximise the inherent limitations of a smaller screen size to deliver a highly playable, yet infuriatingly addictive gaming experience.

Multiplayer options

And finally, one of the biggest draws in online gaming must be the fact that many of the online games can easily be played in a multiplayer mode.

This can be seen in games such as Minecraft that use a simple block building format that suddenly becomes highly entertaining when the player is faced with several online human opponents on course to wreak havoc with the player’s building plans.

All of which just goes to show how fast technology can change and adapt to our endless thirst for a convenient, yet captivating gaming experience.
