Are Games a form of art?
I think they are because they are a culmination of a bunch of other types of art.
What about you?

2 RepliesAs a game developer(coding)...no, haha. But from the point of view of a 3D designer, music composer and writers, yes.

Uh, dur?

How could they not be? There's so much art in games it's [i]inconceivable[/i]
-
No because I'm old and games are for kids.

3 RepliesEdited by Zanhattan: 11/29/2015 2:18:42 AMIf Movies and Film are art, then video games are art. [url=https://www.youtube.com/v/Fkg5UVTsKCE]Just watch this trailer for Horizon. It's too beautiful to not be art.[/url] Video games, at their core, are visual mediums. I mean, heck, they employ concept artists in video game design. The fact that there are aspects in video games that require artists is enough.

Of course they are art. They are a direct reflection of the creative minds that brought them to life, a reflection or hard work and dedication. Some games may shine more in graphical quality, others with story, others with innovation. But for each one, each part had to be crafted with care.
-
It depends on the genre

-
Skyrim. Just get a graphics overhaul mod and the scenery will make you wish you lived there.
-
I say more along the lines of entertainment. But sure, whatever gets you there.

1 ReplyOf course! not only in art work, but gameplay, music, story. Would you call a movie art?
-
Yes, my guy in Sims made an amazing painting! Damn, getting that Art level to 1 was worth it.
-
1 ReplyGo watch vaatividyas prepare to cry for dark souls, you will realize even the darkest of games can have true art to them.

5 RepliesEverything and nothing is art, as we have the consciousness to determine everything as art yet without our consciousness art is nothing.

1 ReplyEverything could be considered art. The shit I'm currently taking could be considered art.

3 RepliesGames with story are most certainly art...games that have multiplayer only are not..they can only be fun/addicting. Anything the really makes u emotionally connected is art to me
-
Yeah, just likes movies, books and so on.
-
Fall out 4 is sad art. But man I luv that that depressing post apocalyptic world.
-
Yes, just as a book or a poem or a painting is. And some art is better than others at provoking emotion. example of video games great at provoking emotion: The last of us Final fantasy series Uncharted series Kingdom Hearts series Chrono trigger Books that provoke emotion (I recommend audiobooks) The Martian Any book by Brian Jacques The book thief Life is a blank canvas, and our choices made, the colors.
-
Several video games have evoked emotion from me (BioShock Infinite, Witcher 3, Mass Effect, Dragon Age). They are certainly capable of being art but not all can achieve that level where they evoke emotion.
-
If movies are art, so are games. Just like how if chess is a sport, then so are esports.
-
art is a piece of work that expresses an artist's thoughts. as long as something has some sort of significance to its artists, it is art. games included.

3 RepliesEverything is a art of you make it one. I can shoot a gun and when the bullets fly out, I can label that as art. [i]~Secora (The person with no life)[/i]

3 RepliesThe designing of games yes. Playing games no.

5 RepliesI guess it depends on the game, but yes. My example: Bioshock Infinite
