Dayz Standalone

• The texture shows what the characters are wearing and what colour the environment is i.e. is the grass dead or is it still living.
• The lighting does not show the audience that the game involves zombies and violence, this is shown through the bright colours like the sky, what the characters are wearing.
• The shadows are coming from the trees and the people walking, this gives the game a realistic look to it.
• The terrain shows that the game is an open world and is set about moving around the map in order to survive the day or night.

The texturing in Dayz Standalone is realistic as it shows the right colours of the environment such as the tree stalks being bark coloured and the grass being the correct colour. This could also show that the game is an open world game. The lighting on the other hand gives the player a happy mood as the colours are bright potentially showing the game is a game that gives a happy mood to players. Realism in DayZ is shown through the shadows, the shadows allow the player to have more enjoyment from the game as it is realistic. This gives the player a more immersive feeling that Dayz is a realistic game. The terrain in Dayz has a mix terrain varied of forests, flat areas of grass, roads, towns, factories and villages. This type of terrain gives Dayz players a more immense feeling when playing the game because they can get to a certain location that they want to get to by taking different routes to get there. The terrain also gives the player a challenge of choosing a suitable path due to other players or zombies being in the route they want to take, but because they want to keep the gear they have, choosing the best paths offer challenge's but they can also offer rewards such as finding more weapons, getting food, water and shelter or finding friendly players who will look out for you if you look out for them. 

H1Z1

• The texture shows the environment and sky, the textures in the image here show the rocks/cliff are textured to like real.
• The lighting shows not only the sky and whether the world is beginning sunrise or is in sunset.
• The shadows in the image here only show the car and the person stood next to it. Because it is like this we can see that the player is looking into the sun.
• The terrain shows that the game is an open world game because the world is continuing on in the image.

In H1Z1, the texturing is semi-realistic as it has the correct colours for the type of game that it is i.e. the rocks are the correct colour. The lighting may also show the audience that it is an open world game because the colour of the lighting shows that during the day you are safe, whereas, at night you have a higher percentage of dying. The environment shows that the game is a violent game because the colouring of the forest is dark to show that danger is near or is in the forest. Realism in H1Z1 is shown through the texturing, some of the textures include some places having brighter colours to show the player that the brighter coloured place is safer than places that have considerably darker colours, in which danger is shown. Subsequently, H1Z1 has a game mode called 'King of the Hill' where it is PVP (Player versus Player) where the entire map has the same lighting which is always bright which shows that somewhere could be safe however, another player could be there waiting to kill you. 

Tactical FPS Shooter

This is a map design for Rainbow Six Siege, 1 December 2015 Ubisoft, to show that the game is a tactical shooter, the map design is meant to resemble a house, this is shown through the use of different room sizes. The map design could give the defenders an advantage over the attackers because there are loads of rooms for defenders to hide in, but also the defenders can choose where they want to spawn in at the start of the game, the defenders also have the chance to spawn in the room where the objective is, whether the game mode is: Hostage, Bomb, Secure Area. Because this map design is meant to represent a house, this may give players a claustrophobic feel, and may mean that players will choose specific playable characters depending on how good and effective the characters weapons and abilities are in close quarters combat. 

Open World

Watch Dogs, 27 May 2014 Ubisoft, is an open world game. We can tell that it is an open world game by the size of the map. Watch Dogs has different areas of the map which include: Suburbs, Outskirts, Docks/Port, Industrial areas. All of the areas are available for the player to access, some of the missions or side quests require the player to go to certain map areas. When completing certain missions, the mission may make the player travel across the map to finish the mission, an example of this is when the main character picks someone in his car before having to travel across the map avoiding police as they go, before they finally evade the police and the player is therefore able to complete the mission by dropping off the person at the required location. 

Racing Game

Need for Speed Payback, 10 November 2017 Ghost Games, is an open world racing game. However, when the player is in a race they must follow a set course around a certain area of the map, which takes away the open world aspect of the game. Players can make their own way to the story missions or to races, allowing them to explore the map and maybe even collect abandoned cars along the way. Furthermore, the map has different areas of terrain, suggesting that races can take place anywhere in the map which also means the player will have to go around the map looking for opportunities for them to race.
