visual style of games

 

what's is a visual style of games.

A visual style in games is what it looks like in basic , for example borderlands visual style is cartoony where it looks really un realistic but has a really good feel to it where in another game like maybe destiny its style is more realistic and futuristic with its style and it makes you feel you could see that time coming and it may happen but the style also gives the vibe of its more of a suggestion of a possibility of what could happen.

 

some games may have different genres but will have the same visual style because this style dose not effect the genre, this is the look of the games the genre is what type of game it is,

 

for a example of the similarity's in some games there is swtor and wow both are cartoony but one is set in the star wars universe and the other in a fantasy realm.

cartoony

the style of cartoony is showing the art a little over the top and colorful in its look may being still having a black line over a character model with it being brightly colored. and in games with this style I find it typical for the characters to be over the top with power.

 

 

 

military

a example of a military style game is call of duty where your seeing military figure and its based around the aspect of being a trooper in a warzone fighting, this likes to focuse on weaponry and transports in the art design.

abstract
this is a style  involving uses shapes and bright colors to make the player feel what they want to feel this is done well in games like geometry wars where it uses dark and light colored shapes and form to symbolize a war.

realism
realism is where the creators make it look as close to real life as possible to the point in a photo you will find it hard to tell the difference between the two at a first glance, a game that uses this are games like gta or call of duty where you play as characters in a 'realistic situation

black and white

a good example for a black and white game id limbo where you are in a game abusing black and white making a good set and have good story with it making it work more for the player and making them picture a little what this would look like if they were there.
