Unit 6 Assignment 2

Our group decided to use the 2014 Fifa, it's a football associated video game developed by EA Canada and published by EA Sports. It's available on Play Station, 2, 3, 4 and Play Station portable/vita as well as Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Microsoft windows.

This website was reliable because it's one of the main wesbites that gamers go to for reviews. It's quite well known and for it to be so popular, it must be good and give accurate reviews. The website is useful because it isn't just for gamers, it accommodates for those looking for movie, TV and music reviews so it doesn't just stick to one topic.


IGN
http://uk.ign.com/games/fifa-soccer-14/xbox-360-166236














IGN again is a favourite because at the the top you can search for things by the console - Xbox 360, Play Station etc so you can search thoroughly and find what you're looking for easy. It's a reliable website because along with the ratings, you can read peoples' reviews so you know what you're reading is legitimate and you get a mixture of opinions.


Game Spot
http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/fifa-2014-review/1900-6415568/





















Game spot is a reliable website because it is specifically a gaming website so everything on it is dedicated to reviewing games and there's even an option to talk to other people on the website on the "community" tab so you know that the people who give reviews and who use the website know what they're talking about when they give opinions of games.


The scores are useful because it means that you get a lot of mixed opinions. Everyones individual scores make an average for the rate that we see out of 10. Also because judging at scoring you can decide whether or not a game is worth buying, for example if the game had an overall rating of 3/10, chances are it won't be good and not worth the money whereas on the IGN website it had a score of 9.2 and the word "amazing" which would make you want to consider buying it so the scoring can increase sales.

    • Analyse another section of the game and explain why you know it targets this age, gender, socio economic and psychographic
    • Get one or two research links about who are typical gamers and summarise the information in your own words.
    • In your focus group summary can you go into more detail, explaining what the overall responses were to each question.
    • Which way of describing an audience is more useful in your opinion (demographic, psychographic or socio economic scale)? Why do you think this?
    • What were the negatives of your focus group?
    • Why is a focus group useful for the industry?
