Talk:Video game

Classification: "hardcore"?

This term gets thrown around a lot. Is it not considered a classification? SharkD  Talk  22:04, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

What's the context? --Marty Goldberg (talk) 20:17, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

History of video game consoles (eighth generation)

The article History of video game consoles (eighth generation) needs some help with references and to answer the question: Is calling the new consoles "8th generation" original research, or is it just a synonym for when the media call it "next generation or "new generation". --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:21, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

This topic has already significantly been discussed and answered at the article's nomination for deletion page. It is not a new discussion or answer for the video game project (the group of members that oversee video game articles), and in fact many of the regulars have already answered you there. This is the fifth time it will be deleted, and there's a reason for that. Additionally, this discussion page is purely for discussion in imporving this article, not others. Other than making people aware of the AFD so they can add additional commentary there (which you did not do), there is no reason to try and branch the discussion here. Please try and keep related discussions on the relevant page, the actual AFD page. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 20:17, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from Evankarcha, 5 December 2010

{{edit semi-protected}} Duke Nukem Forever, a big name sequel that was in production for years before being cancelled, is the quintessential example of these problems.^{[citation needed]} should be removed from this article because it has not been cancelled and has recently been confirmed still in the works. http://www.dukenukem.com Evankarcha (talk) 03:54, 5 December 2010 (UTC) Evankarcha

Criticism section Australian focus

That section must be improved to discuss commercial criticism in general. Australia should be used as an example, but not the core of the section. If after some time no change is applied, the section should be just removed. I'll do some tweaking now, but I lack the knowledge to add enough information. Possible subjects to include (in short form): piracy and anti-piracy measures, region locks, health issues, over-worked developers Elideb (talk) 16:41, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Is computer game a subset of this article or a bad name?

Computer game redirect here. Is it a subset or only a bad name? 204.174.87.29 (talk) 00:27, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Video game is game that has feedback via video output. Computer game is a game playable on a computer (PC). In vast majority of cases, a computer game is also a video game. Also, computer game redirects to personal computer game, not here. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 08:47, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Orthography

Why video game and not videogame, if videogame is a noun and video game two, so you can't say “I'm playing a video”. What are the linguistical reasons for write it separately?

Per Websters, it's "video game" with a space. Likewise, 1) Video refers to a raster display method and television by definition [2], or "relating to the transmission or reception of a televised image" or "the technology of electronically capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmitting, and reconstructing a sequence of still images representing scenes in motion." Or as Webster's defines it - "video (adjective): being, relating to, or used in the transmission or reception of the television image" and "being, relating to, or involving images on a television screen or computer display",[3] computer displays using the same raster or pixel process. A video signal represents an encoding and transmission process of pixels to reproduce, i.e. rasters.[4] 2) The term arose to describe the process of playing a game on the TV technology encased in all of the early video coin-ops (and the first home game system) referred to collectively by their manufacturers and the media as TV Games, TV Tennis, Space Age Game, video action game, electronic game, television skill game, and video skill game and video game. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 11:52, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
