Overall I think it was kind of OK and my closing statement was logical and well thought out.#
Below are my notes that I really wanted to go through but obviously didn't have nearly enough time to do so.

Rainbow 6
·
Tactical gameplay
·
Plot is the same
·
Huge success but not as appealing once
purchased, gameplay too hard.
Other franchises
·
Fake Clancy
·
Books based on games
·
They’re marketed toward the gamer not the people

·
Games are commercial success bar, Endwar.

Batman
·
Innovation and demonstration of new tech, the
experience is novel
·
It’s politically controversial. Painting the
occupy movement as barbaric and unjustified.
·
Commercial success, IMAX selling 60000
tickets, taking 1£mil in advance bookings breaking all previous records
Games
·
Based on comic core mythos, jolly feel of 90s
cartoon
·
Fresh feel for younger audiences who havn’t
read the comics or seen the cartoons, compared to the film
·
If you read the comics then you’ll not be
disappointed by the feeling and content in the games. They’re very faithful to
the series thanks to Paul Dini.
·
Combat only requires a minimum of an attack
key and dodge key to succeed. There are combos and special moves for those who
want to learn them.
·
GOTY across the board. Asylum
92/100 meta 6.61 mil sold city
94/100 7.55 mil sold
Christopher Nolan Slide
·
Feeling invoked in the film version of batman
are completely different, much darker and sadder, the realistic take although
still based on the core plot, doesn’t have that same ridiculous hero iconic
feel to it.
·
The Dark Knight Rises film let down comic fans
compared to The Dark Knight, Joker was faithful to comics, Bane was much less
faithful in character to the comics.
·
Immersion into the realism and believability
of the character
·
Much less immersive although a beautiful
spectacle
·
Massive sales proves that this version of
Batman was intensely popular and sought after.
