Creativity and New Media
When I came across the words "avatar in second life," what I immediately thought of was a replica of myself or who I want to be or look like.
I find that a lot of games, especially those with user interactions, allow us to make our own avatar. During quarantine, I spent a lot of time playing games with my friends and family, and one of which is PUBG. When I first made the account, it made me choose things like my gender, whether or not I have a ponytail, long, or short hair, and what my skin color is. The game gave us a very basic attire and then provided space for us to buy clothing and other accessories. From the clothing and accessories, you can tell things like if a person spent real money on the game and if the person's been playing for a long time.
I like to customize my avatar with things I would wear or would like to wear. Below I have attached an image of how my friends and I looked the other day while we were playing.
Very Interesting! In daily life, I usually connect the virtual games with the creativity of new media too. We can choose our styles freely in virtual games, which makes our second life comes true. And I believe VR/ARwith games will be the trend in the future . Even though the majority of games released in 2019 and 2020 are non-VR games. But in the end of 2020, PS5 and X-Box are going to the game market, which means VR games are at the beginning of the industry, and virtual reality will become more and more common in the future.
ReplyDeleteI am same boat that I used to play PUBG daily basis when it came out and for a while actually. It's cool to see this PUBG accessories again. They used to cost a lot of money back in the days. I think this kind of game are opening next generation in video game.
