At the entrance, are basically young. Many know exactly what they want to see, but mostly they want to experience. Are new games, some of which only arrive in stores next year, but are previewed in Delhi Games Week .
The big companies take advantage of the fair to present its novelties and are one of the main attractions of the fair, a bit similar to what is done in the great world fairs of the industry.
“We are here to take the world circuit,” explains Pedro Silveira, a member of the organization. Refers to how the great fairs that take place in Paris, Madrid or Milan. The scale is different, but the concept is similar.
“The Delhi Games Week is more experimentation, are the big news, the big titles and previews so families can experience, “said Pedro Silveira, compared to XL Party, an event linked to video games that took place in recent years. For three days, hundreds of youths brought their computers and playing network between them. Now, the story is very different.
“We realized that the market was moving towards doing something connected to videogames, but in a format more exposure, “explains the organization member. Major industries, the games that marked decades but also other national companies and what might be the future of gaming will be present at FIL.
In large companies, is the graphical quality that stands out the most laity. The realism of the games that year after year are closer to the real picture. Are graphs, stories and brands to the delight of an increasingly demanding public.
The news are not meant only to this audience. Remains a major presence in formats intended for a more child audience, especially when approaching the holiday season. “There is much interest in the kids having a console, it continues to be a unique experience,” says Filipe Marques, head of Marketing of Playstation.
But who speaks for children’s games, also speaks in parental concern. Therefore, there is a section on Internet safety area. “We want to give parents some tools on how to deal with this new digital generation,” explains Pedro Silveira.
The show also features games aimed at a more casual audience. Modern motion detection commands allow greater interactivity and can reach new audiences. “It’s a more familiar, more social, more fun part,” explains Alexandre Mestre, product manager at Xbox , the console’s Microsoft .
But not only are consoles that are present at the fair, far from it. The driving simulators are one of the major attractions. “These are cars as if they were real,” explains Carlos Barbosa, one of the promoters of the virtual racetracks present at the first flag of FIL. Ensures that users “feel all the physical level, but the danger does not exist for them.”
The most advanced simulation technology, side-by-side with the nostalgia brought by older machines. Are pinball machines in arcade , but the consoles that emerged decades ago. Away from the high definition of the revolutionary command, but showing the beginnings of an industry that for many gave memorable afternoons and evenings.
For the youngest, the oldest video games represent nearly unthinkable. An unthinkable that can now experience on machines that are in perfect condition, including machines made in Portugal during the twentieth century.
A Portuguese industry, moreover, is quite prominent in Delhi Games Week . Are mostly small businesses and Portuguese start-ups to present their projects. Some are still under development, but there are many who are already published and available from reputed to consoles.
Until next Sunday, the pavilion is still overrun by video game tournaments and fantastic characters. Dozens of people will participate in parades cosplay. The cosplayers embody characters from video games, movies or Japanese animation, made by themselves with facts that will bring color and movement to the pavilion FIL.
