Animation is different in many media sectors, such as you will see many different types of animation in the film industry, so you might see different types of tracking, because in a film you want to see the actors, but when you see a game you are the camera, so you control what happens and when it happens. Gaming animation consists over designing different assets, this is because you can not control real life people in a game, so people have to design characters to control in a game. Gaming animation has changed so much from the 80s, it has gone from a small 2d gaming experience to a 3d gaming experience and the graphics on the games have changed so much, when in early stage on 3d games the graphics were great then but looking at them now you will be shocked, it went from paper looking characters and buildings to looking like it is in real life.

Animation in films is different to what you see in films games, but not all things are different, you will see affects in films which you probably would see in games, but the main different aspect about making a film to making a game is you don`t make something were the people consuming the product control, if you add animation, such as fire, you will add it to the actor or something else in the scene, but in a game you could make it so the fire is a character in the game. The main thing about making a film is that adding animation is optional but in a game adding animation is a crucial point of making the game. As you can see the images above they are very different to each other, mostly because the color of images, but if you look at the pictures their is many different aspects, such as in the old pictures their are horse and carriages , then when you look at the new image there is cars, you look at the other picture there is a old hot dog stand and a new one, and if you look the old hot dog stand owner is wearing a suit and the new one is wearing a track suit.
