EXPLORING THE PLATFORMS.
Platforms:
CONSOLES
PC/COMPUTER
HANDHELD DEVICES
MOBILE PHONES
TABLETS
Platforms:
CONSOLES
A video game console is a device that outputs a video signal or visual image to display a video game. Consoles are simple to use, straight forward and their main purpose is Gaming, while some other platforms are not, like PC's, tablets and mobiles. Most consoles require a Monitor, except for portable consoles such Nintendo DS or PSP. In terms of hardware, consoles fit their purpose but other platforms such as PC can have better specifications.
PC/COMPUTER
In terms of home video games, the PC is the oldest gaming platform that we still use today. PC's are very versatile and can fit many purposes and gaming is one of the most popular ones. PC's can have really good specifications and can easily beat any other platform in that area, especially graphics and frames per second. There are a lot of games that you can mod and customise on PC that you can't on other platforms, like GTA V and this can be very enjoyable for players.
HANDHELD DEVICES
There are several handheld devices that can be used for gaming, such as portable ones such as PSP, Nintendo DS, WiiU and many more. These devices can be used anywhere which is one benefit. Portable consoles can be better for gaming because their games are well produced, contrary to tablets and mobiles where games are usually low-budget. Tablets and mobiles have a good touch screen that can promote creativity from the users, the tablet's screen is usually bigger that a phone one so it may be easier to use.
MOBILE PHONES
Although it's not its main purpose, mobile phones can be used to play games. Their hardware and specifications are not the best for gaming and they cannot compete with PC's or Consoles in that area. Most mobile games are free but have a lot of ads, have micro-transactions and are generally less competitive.
TABLETS
A tablet is a wireless, portable personal computer with a touch screen interface. Its touch screen is usually bigger than a mobile phone but smaller than a regular monitor. It is accurate and easy to use which can make it more appealing to casual players.
