Should there be a game that functions as both art and a game?

[Night_Hunter023]

I wonder if it is ok since I don't know if someone wants a straight up game or something with style in it. What do any of you think and what do you have to say about it?

[SKARDAVNELNATE]

Games are art already. Mind you not all art is good art. But games are much art as films and books are.

[DarkCrystalMethod]

Okami comes to mind...

[Бобок]

If it does function as both, where can even be the problem? And the problem begins when you sell your art as a game, but it’s not a playable game as people who buy it will have to find out.

Pro tip: stay away from A budget mountains and you'll easily find games that work as art.

[Lady of the Lake]

Video game is a piece of art by itself and thus should be treated as such.

To create an art is to live in symbiosis with the fact, that what is created, will exist for eternity beyond existence of any life form, above space and time, even if somehow the art could not exist anymore, the act of creation itself is still will exist forever.

Yeah. Those masterpieces…

[Crazy Tiger]

I'll just treat games as they are, entertainment products.

Something being an art is not necessarily equal to being the good art.

I find it weird how people dont consider it art when every single asset in the game is a separate artpiece bolted onto it

If you have a specifc game in mind please mention it. I'm certain there will be more than enough counter-examples.

[-OrLoK- Слава Україн]

"Art" is also hugely subjective.

I say games are art, some great, some not so great.

I may not know much about art but i know what i like.

[DarkCrystalMethod]

We had a saying in the olden days. If you can't figure out what its supposed to be just call it art. Those of us into the new computer tech at the time just called it multimedia.

Art can contain other art. A play can be art but also contain songs that are art on their own. A book can contain pictures, etc.

Why? There is so many easy example that you can see and find by yourself just by looking at the Steam game list without even purchasing anything.

I agree that games are pieces of art. But in real life I can't be bothered with art at all. This is not going to stop people who can appreciate it to appreciate it, just like even tho I can't care enough about my games being pieces of art this simple fact is not going to suddenly make it so or not.

If you say that something such as beauty or art is in the eye of the beholder, you mean that it is a matter of personal opinion.
