Video games/Toevoeging genre

Suggestion for a new genre: V-scrolling.

Side-scrolling already exists, V-scrolling is common in shoot'em-ups.

I suppose you mean that you mean a video game where the image appears from top to bottom or vice versa? That's what I imagine with side-scrolling, but in a horizontal way, very similar to a platform game.

When the technique of sliding sideways on a shooter (usually the ALT / CMD button and a left or right cursor), it is only a technique and not a genre. After all, it is already among the shooters. Do you have any examples of video games where V-scrolling should be a genre according to you?

It's purely about how the levels move through the game. Examples of v-scrolling shooters:

As far as I am concerned, it adds something to the genres. V-scrolling is also a well-known term in the gaming world.

Yes I meant that kind of scrolling too! The main character remains in the same image and can only move in it, but the background moves from top to bottom.

Nice example video and reminds me of the times when I played behind the gaming machines, because only there I know the shooters from the example of. I myself was a big fan of 2 games on the machine, but I don't remember the names. 1 was with an army helicopter and another was a version of Space Invaders, where you always had to beat another big boss at the end.

I think there are also several racing games that are also of the genre of V-scrolling. And often the older games. Of the horizontal scrolling games (Side-scrolling) I can personally only think of 1 number 1, that is Zaxxon, but that is not what this topic is about.

This one might be:

Otherwise, let's replace side-scrolling with h-scrollling and add v-scrolling. Then I have that in order.

I also miss 'bat and ball'. Classics like Pong, Breakout, Arkanoid and Krakout should now be classified as 'action'. I think they have the right to their own genre.

En als we dan toch aan het toevoegen zijn:

Isometric (of Angle). Enkele voorbeelden:

En laten we Beat'em up gebruiken voor de knokspellen als Street Fighter en Mortal Kombat en Fighting wijzigen naar Fighting Sports, zodat we daaronder de vechtsporten kunnen scharen.

En Nederlands- en Engelstalige termen door elkaar voor de genres vind ik wat vreemd. Laten we alles Engelstalig doen, aangezien de Engelstalige termen toch al zijn omarmd in Nederland.

Dus wat mij betreft mag de lijst worden (inclusief enkele verbeteringen van spel- en stijlfouten):

2D

3D

Action

Adventure

Beat'em up

Card, board, gambling

Compilation (i.p.v. Verzamelen)

Construction

Digital pets

Education

Family, Party, Mini, Fitness

Fighting sports

First person

H-scrolling

Hack and slash

Horror

Interactive movie

Isometric

Light gun

Management

Massive Multiplayer Online

Maze

Music

Pinball

Platform

Point and click

Puzzle, Shape combination (i.p.v. Puzzel, Trtris style games)

Racing

Rail shooter

Real-time (i.p.v. Real time)

Role Playing Game (i.p.v. Role Playing Games)

Shooter

Simulation

Sports

Stealth

Strategy

Survival

Text-based (i.p.v. Tekst game)

Third person

Turn-based (i.p.v. Turn Based)

Trivia (i.p.v. Quiz, Denkspellen)

V-scrolling

Virtual life (i.p.v. Virtual life (Sim's like game))

And while we're adding:

Isometric (or Angle). Some examples:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7zY_MKCqik

And let's use Beat'em up for the brawl games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat and change Fighting to Fighting Sports so that we can include martial arts under that.

And I find it a bit strange to mix Dutch and English terms for the genres. Let's do everything in English, since the English terms have already been embraced in the Netherlands.

So as far as I'm concerned the list can be (including some corrections of spelling and style errors):

2D

3D

Action

Adventure

Beat 'em up

Card, board, gambling

Compilation (instead of Collecting)

Construction

Digital pets

Education

Family, Party, Mini, Fitness

Fighting sports

First-person

H scrolling

Hack and slash

Horror

Interactive movie

Isometric

Lightgun

Management

Massive Multiplayer Online

Maze

Music

pinball

Platform

Point and click

Puzzle, Shape combination (instead of Puzzle, Trtris style games)

Racing

Rail shooter

Real time (instead of Real time)

Role Playing Game (instead of Role Playing Games)

shooter

simulation

Sports

Stealth

Strategy

Survival

Text-based (instead of Text game)

Third person

Turn-based (instead of Turn Based)

Trivia (instead of Quiz, Brain Games)

V scrolling

Virtual life (instead of Virtual life (Sims like game))

First changes I would like to make:

Side-scrolling - & gt; H scrolling (isn't Horizontal scrolling better for less experienced users?)

Add V scrolling (or Vertical scrolling?)

Add bat and ball

Fighting - & gt; Fighting Sports. So I would like to be notified when this has happened.

Does anyone see bears on the road?

Horizontal scrolling and Vertical scrolling is fine in my opinion!

I will get started with the Beat'em ups and will notify me when everything has been transferred.

Fighting - & gt; Fighting Sports. So I would like to be notified when this has happened.

Incidentally, this is not an hour's job; there are quite a few errors in the classifications and I want to correct everything immediately.

I will report when the job is done.

I received an invitation from Ted today. To be continued!

Horizontal scrolling and Vertical scrolling is fine.

Hi Disney,

Arguments you mention are exactly the reason I didn't implement the rest of the naming suggestions. Let's have a look and compare first.

Wat ik ook even wilde melden dat het nu lijkt of we hier niet al lang over nagedacht hebben!

Deze gedachte was niet bij me opgekomen.

Over de genres:

1. Ik kan vrede hebben met de opmerkingen van Arzo en Disney.

2. Graag wel enkele spelfouten eruit halen:

Real-time in plaats van Real time

Turn-based in plaats van Turn based

3. Laten we Puzzel en Virtual life in ieder geval in dezelfde stijl benoemen, dus:

Puzzel, Tetris-stijl

Virtual life (Sims-stijl)

4. 'Tekst game' is wel wat raar als er verder nergens 'game' bij staat. Ik denk dat iedereen bij Text-based wel weet wat er bedoeld wordt.

5. Wat is de bedoeling van 'Verzamelen'? Ik dacht dat alle compilaties hieronder vielen (ik zet ze er zelf ook onder), maar ik kan me voorstellen dat mensen hier ook heel andere zaken onder gaan plaatsen. Vandaar mijn suggestie 'Compilation', of bij nader inzien dus 'Compilatie'.

6. Graag 'Horizontal scrolling' en 'Vertical scrolling'. Ben het met Arzo en Disney eens dat dit duidelijker is voor de minder ervaren gebruikers.

What I also wanted to say is that it now seems as if we haven't thought about this for a long time!

This thought had not occurred to me.

About the genres:

1. I can be at peace with Arzo and Disney's comments.

2. Please correct some spelling errors:

Real time instead of Real time

Turn based instead of Turn based

3. Let's at least name Puzzle and Virtual life in the same style, so:

Puzzle, Tetris style

Virtual life (Sims style)

4. 'Text game' is a bit strange if it doesn't say 'game' anywhere else. I think everyone at Text-based knows what is meant.

5. What is the purpose of 'Collect'? I thought all compilations fell under this (I put them under it myself), but I can imagine that people will also place completely different things here. Hence my suggestion 'Compilation', or on closer inspection therefore 'Compilation'.

6. Please 'Horizontal scrolling' and 'Vertical scrolling'. Agree with Arzo and Disney that this is clearer for the less experienced users.

5. What is the purpose of 'Collecting'? I thought that all compilations were listed below (I put them in there myself), but I can imagine that people will also post completely different things under this. Hence my suggestion 'Compilation', or on closer inspection so 'Compilation'.

This refers to Pokémon type games (collecting pets). Compilation has a different meaning.

I suspected it was something like that. Is that worth a genre of its own? Is it not to be classified under Strategy in combination with something else? I am not familiar with those games in terms of content.

Compilation seems indispensable to me, even if it is not a game genre. Otherwise, with a compilation of 10 games, you might have to assign 10 genres to one object.

The latter is indeed the intention, otherwise those collections will not appear in any genre, while there are games of such a genre.

Made some minor changes to the genre names. Can interested parties have a look?

Looks a lot better.

Would like to add Vertical scrolling.

And please Flipperen instead of Flipper, since the latter is not a separate Dutch word (exists only as a conjugation of the verb). After all, the Racing genre should also become Race.

And this way you prevent games like Ecco the Dolphin from ending up in this section. ;)

A compilation is a small collection in itself. Surely it cannot be that collectors cannot simply search for these kinds of collections?

What I mean is, if we add Compilation there is a big chance that the genres will not be filled in further. A compilation with Tetris will then not be visible if you filter by genre Puzzle.

There is certainly something to be said for this. And it is important that the users continue to fill in that information.

Okay, then we'll keep it in the Details field for now. I will remove the edited / imported compilations from Collection.

And I will report as soon as I have finished the Fighting and Beat'em up sections.

Terwijl ik de aanpassingen bij Fighting en Beat'em up aan het maken ben, merk ik dat ik nog een optie mis dat echt iets kan toevoegen aan de genres: Futuristisch (of eventueel Fantasie).

Dit kan een duidelijk verschil maken tussen spellen die nu nog in precies hetzelfde genre zitten, maar qua beleving een wereld van verschil zijn, bv.:

F1 Grand Prix en F-Zero (beide racing)

American Football en Speedball (beide sport)

Age of Empires en Starcraft (beide real-time strategie)

Maar het kan natuurlijk ook subtieler onderscheid maken, bv.

Double Dragon en Rise of the Robots (beide beat'em up)

While I'm making the adjustments to Fighting and Beat'em up, I notice that I'm missing one more option that can really add something to the genres: Futuristic (or possibly Fantasy).

This can make a clear difference between games that are still in exactly the same genre, but are a world of difference in terms of experience, e.g.:

F1 Grand Prix and F-Zero (both racing)

American Football and Speedball (both sports)

Age of Empires and Starcraft (both real-time strategy)

But it can of course also make a more subtle distinction, e.g.

Double Dragon and Rise of the Robots (both beat'em up)

For me, Speedball is part of sport. If you put it in a different genre, then all sports can be in their own genre (maybe something to be said for that too).

I think Vinjat means more as Futuristic and sports, so in combination. But whether they will use it that way.

With a lot of games it is difficult enough to associate a genre with it. So the longer the list, the more difficult it will be for importers.
