Indiscriminately replying retard

Not everything is art.
If you say that videogames are Art then you're saying all of them are.

nah

only manchildren want video games to be art, and just look what those faggots did to the american comic book industry

jews can't make art. thats why they made up bullshit like """"modern"""" """"""""art""""""""

"Art" is a meaningless term. It has no inherent value.

No, art can never be video games.

I hope this boy went on HRT. You can tell they would make a great tranny.

>not traditional art

That's because the commercial games industry is only half a century old you fucking genius

will games being considered art make you enjoy a game more?

Why would anyone be sorry that you can't do the digital equivilant of throwing paint at a canvas like a monkey and call it a finished product?

Games are art but hes not advancing the medium at all in artistic merit

>uses 3rd rate voice "actors"
>all lines recorded and just pasted on to the game
>no overlapping dialogue
>no real conversations between 2 people recorded
>reliance on graphics means it will never match facial expressions done in real acting
>worse story than the will smith zombie movie

Playing video games for the story is in one of the lowest tiers of entertainment next to cartoons, anime, comics, and professional wrestling

if videogames are not art what about the concep art of every game? do painted prerendered backgrounds lose their art status if they are remodeled in 3d? Are animated movies art or not? If being interactive and depending on the subject then does that mean movies are more artistic than theater?

Not yet and not in our lifetime, but in theory they could eventually be considered art.
Still, anyone that pushes this "le vidya is art" idea is just a delusional idiot who can't just accept that his hobby is making the things on your monitor go BEEP BOOP. They need to believe that no, actually, it's not a mere game, see, it's profound and deep and so am I for playing it.
And idiots like OP's pics are even worse, they want to believe they are fucking artists. Pathetic.

you sound the same are the people denying cinema was art in the 20s

indieshit hipster faggots are the ones trying to make "art".
the faggot in op pic just wants to make a game about zombies and watched too much of the walking dead

and it wasn't, it only became art later, as the culture around it changed. cave painting sure as hell wasn't art when the fucking neandhertals did it, it's only perceived as such today since art is a concept and not an actual thing

Name a single. literally just one true masterpiece game, film, literature, music and painting all have examples.
You can't.

It's not art cause we are ruled by lefty pseuds but it is art and it will be considered as such with enough time.
Consider this, art geniuses of the past like Michelangelo, Beethoven and Shakespeare were at the front of their times favourite entertainment medium.
They weren't doing old stuff just to be artistic, they were geniuses, pioneers.
They would be making videogames now if they were alive.
They would understand videogames as the ultimate artistic form in wich you can put together architecture, art, writing, paintings, acting, music... and the most important of all, the viewer.

so videogames are art, got it

It depends on how you define art. If you consider movies art, yes video games can be art.
If you look at art from a more etymological perspective, there are things like artisan which has to do with crafting things, be it weapons, tools, furniture, etc. If you have a broad definition of art that includes the result of human production, then yes.
If you define art as something decorative, then movies, literature and games aren't art.

In the way of constitutional first amendment protection video games should be definitely be considered an art and not be regulated in terms of content.

Doesn't matter and is an opinion/subjective.

To assume that is what they'd be interested in is retarded.

It can be.

no, video games are toys for children

videogames are toys, not art

the masterpiece argument for art is a thing and is to be taken seriously, it's how you separate low arts like cooking from high arts.

>Are video games Art?
No. Video games are a combination of arts (painting, music, cinematography...), but not art themselves.

Games aren't art by definition. They can be composed from pieces of art however but the end product is not one.
Ultimately it's a system, a game which has set of rules that are supposed to make a fun gameplay. That is most important.

No, it's not. It's pseud bullshit.

no japanese games are art. you mutts can praise your own garbage games as art.

>has no idea about the subject, but speaks about it anyway

Vidya is art, but as long as vidya relies on the staples of film to engage people, it'll be a very poor art form.
Painting engages you visually, music engages you audibly, writing engages you narratively, and film marries those vectors together into one medium.
Vidya's strength is engaging you interactively, and is only really functional as a game with external input. No other artistic medium has that quality.
Until devs stop going in circles trying to break into Hollywood and instead embrace interaction as the medium for storytelling or expression (not as a companion to their vomiting story at you, but by actually using input/action/reaction as the vector for expression), you're never gonna have a proper art form.

They're not traditional art, but they're better art than traditional art.
