Focus Group
Test
The opening speech was done by Jun Lasco, from
Philippine National E-sports League, and he mentioned the tremendous growth of
E-sports and became a billion dollar industry. In the near future, there will
be more support such as E-sports training given to amateur players to make them
bloom into professional players in Asia.
Mr. Romulo Reyes’ speech, Managing Director of Elite
Global Sourcing Inc., is about how gaming began and how it evolved. In 1983,
after the very first and acknowledged commercial game console was released, the
video gaming industry was making 3.2 Billion US Dollars. However, during the
same year, the “Video Game Crash of 1983” happened wherein market saturation
occurred due to poorly made products and greedy producers. This crash nearly
killed the future of the gaming industry. Mr. Romulo Reyes himself experienced
this crash wherein there were no games to be bought that lasted for two years.
One of the greatest factors happened was when the
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) prompt up the gaming industry. By 2025, the
gaming industry’s projected global revenue, according to Variety Magazine, will
be at 300 Billion US Dollars, which is a hundred times more than it was in back
in 1983. Mr. Romulo Reyes stated that we haven’t reached a hundred years of gaming,
not unlike the movie industry and we are making more today.
In the present time, we have pc games, console games,
and mobile games. As the industry grows, now, we have virtual reality,
augmented reality and cloud gaming (can be achieved using 5G connection). The
future of gaming is very bright and shifting to a more dominant free to play.
The future of gaming is bright that Korea and the Philippines are working
together towards it. Mr. Romulo Reyes stated that the company is fortunate in
working with GITCT in promoting a stronger relationship to move forward in the
future. GITCT does not focus on the gaming industry but also in businesses and
even pledging to provide scholarships for Filipino students in the realm of
gaming.
Three Mobile game from South Korea where introduced.
Game Testers tested the three Mobile Games and gave their feedback. Most of the
Game Testers, younger ones, teenagers and adults, were more comfortable in
playing mobile games because of portability.
Testers were given a specific time to test the games
and answer a survey afterwards. To get feedback first hand, the Game Developers
themselves talked and discussed with the Game Testers and ask about their
impressions about the game, what they liked the most and what they disliked. Game
Testers provided the best input and constructive criticism they can give that
would help to improve the games better.
