And why is it important?
Does it exist as a definable set of rules?
Can it be designed into a game, or is it the random convergence of several interacting factors?
Is it even important?
I woke up to a new PC in the middle of December realizing the fact that i could play games simultaneously with my brother. the first game we chose was America's Army its a rather simple first person shooters for those that do not no of it. on arrival into the game i began to realize that the games graphics are somewhat dated and the animations cumbersome but my brother and me play this game blindly for some reason. could this be game play or do i just enjoy the sheer fun in, kill....competing with American gamers. It usually takes me a while to come down to earth and play a good ol' game that has anything short of beautiful graphics but i play AA just as much as i play for example battle field 2142.
i have a small explanation that may explain why i enjoy playing them both. where as battlefield you are part of a small army and can fight for your cause or run aimlessly into the wilderness if you so desire, AA each man counts for a larger percentage of the game. its almost possible for 1 man to fight for your teams survival against an entire 16 man squad and win. the 'Game Play' is involved in AA competes with battlefield and over shadows the graphics somewhat. this is why i beleive game play exists -even if some critics and game developers don't- and is a fundamental part of a games development, however AA may have been a complete accident as it was originally intended to train and test actual recruit's for the army, therefore it is possible that game developers did in fact overlook what hey were creating.
game play as a hole could be developed into a game through in built factors scattered throughout a game. such as development of team work to be a more necessary to accomplish a final goal
"A game should encourage player interaction. Players should not be so far apart that a player has to venture 3 or more turns in the same direction to reach another player, especially if it is a space game. In a strategy game, a player who sits back and does not get involved should not benefit while others fight it out. As well as gaining resources, one suggestion is that a player's units increase in strength with experience.
gameplay can be directly influenced by playing a game with more than one person for a shared goal but this is an example of only one factor that contributes to game play. there are more factors that make up game play such as, story, characterization, emotion, realism.
game play is i word i consider to be used when a player likes a game and when the game developers don't know really how they have done it, but some game developers use psychology and manipulation to add something more to their game, therefore is game play a psychological or a physical factor? ill think about this some more and try to give a definite answer
