Areas of Study 3 - Audience

• Modern gaming offers a lot of relatively new ideas to the audience. Online, they get the chance to live out an alternate life whilst playing various MMORPG's. This is becoming increasingly popular, and makes games like 'The Sims' look old-fashioned.
• Portable gaming allows the audience to play games on-the-go. They can even play their console games on their portable device and then plug it in when they return home. An example of this is 'Animal Crossing'. In modern society, gaming is a very popular activity and staring at screens is a large part of our lives.
• Newer games offer higher levels of interactivity. Games like 'Guitar Hero' allows the player to play a guitar in time with the notes on-screen. The Nintendo Wii also gives huge levels of interaction on golfing games and other sports games.
