Task 1
In this test, there are four types of gamers. There are socialisers, achievers, explorers and killers. The killers are the people that like to hunt and kill players or people within the game. The explorers are the people that like to explore and discover places and items within the game. The achievers are the people who like to be the best in a game, they like to have the best things and the most amount of awards. The socialisers, which I am, are the people who like to play games with other people and work together with others to reach the end of the game. I personally prefer to play with other people instead of myself, that is why I am a socialiser.
Task 2
I believe that Wired would attract people who like physics but also like puzzle games, it is more of a puzzle game than anything else. I also believe that more men would play it when compared to women as it is more suited to men as it is to do with electricity. In my opinion, the age range for this game would be 25-35 when watching some gameplay.
Task 3
After playing the game, I believe that I overestimated the age range for this game, this is more aimed at people within the age range of 18-24. It is too arcady for people above this age.
Task 4
Task 6
Task 7 (Write a short paragraph explaining why your pen portrait typical audience member is going to enjoy Hellblade)
My pen portrait character would enjoy playing Hellblade a lot. Even though he is an occasional gamer, he would still play it a lot. As my character likes puzzles, he will certainly like the puzzle part of the game, however, he is always keen to try new things, so he would likely enjoy the action as he is really into action too. It will also distract him from his work as there is a very realistic storyline within the game.
Task 8 (Explain what aspects of Hellblade the target audience is going to like best.)
The target audience of Hellblade are likely to enjoy the many aspect of the game, this is because it includes a mix of many different types of aspects including action and puzzle hunting etc. Hellblade offers a very different experience compared to other games as the player can choose where they go, when they want to, whereas other games make you follow a set guide. This approach allows a much more immersive experience for the player who is playing it.
Hellblade also has a meaningful story behind it. This is different as many stories are just many missions put together but in Hellblade you have to work towards something. Also, having a female protagonist can show how females can also play these games, having a female character will more likely attract female players.
The target audience of the game are more likely to understand the game better than younger people as it is a bit complex for them to understand. Also, older people may not understand it as it isn't targeted at them.
Task 9 (Have a think about how you find out which media products to go and watch/play/read/consume. Explain what would influence the target audience to play Hellblade. What are the key influences on the target audience? )
Hellblade is a fairly recent game, this means that it will be advertised and mentioned online a lot. It will also be advertised on many different varieties of game platforms (Xbox, PS4, Steam(PC)). Also, trailers have a large influence on whether you are going to play the game etc. A trailer shouldn't just include cinematic shots, it should have a mix of what is included in the game. This would attract more people as it would look more interesting.
More people would play Hellblade as it has awards. Many people go off reviews and how many awards it has got to base how good the game is. As Hellblade is a BAFTA games winner, this will likely attract more people as it has to be a seriously good game to get that award.
People who play the game and record them doing so will also help people to find out about the game and may interest them. This is a good way of finding out how good the game is as you can see gameplay and parts of a game in a short summary video.
Also, Ninja Theory are also very active on their YouTube channel, therefore people will use their channel to watch videos on the game to see what it is like and features about the game:
Also, other players of the game are actively posting on Twitter to show how good of a game Hellblade is so it is likely that people also use Twitter to find out:
