Video game: Sharks

One of the first games that had a shark in is the GAME & WATCH PARACHUTE game where parachutists jump out of a moving plane and you are in a boat that you have to catch all the parachutists. In which if the player misses one a shark will chase the parachute person and eat them. The player can miss three times before its game over.




Ecco the dolphin: open water brought a lot more sharks into the video game scene and gave them more character and look more realistic compared to the Game & Watch shark. Sharks are even being put into more recent games like half-life as a mini boss but mostly sharks are just swimming around in big sections of water in games minding their own business.

Having a look at video game sharks has opened my eyes a bit more to how to create my own shark. There aren’t many sharks in games so it’s hard to compare mine with others. I think the shark I’m creating should move realistically and look as shark like as possible.
