    Title Screen

    Concept »

    The Title Screen in a game usually gives you the game's title, and sometimes some menu options. Most games have a title screen, but lots of older games, such as Asteriods, don't. Even TV shows have it, too.

    Short summary describing this concept.

    Types of Title Screens

    Standard:

    Mario Party DS is a great example for a menu-based title screen. After you touch the DS, you can load a save file on the next screen!

    Your standard title screen is very basic, it has no special attributes to it, it doesn't try to make it seem like more than it is, it simply gives you the name of the game and waits for you to press start, or in the case of arcades it waits for you to insert credits. It may or may not say "Press Start" or "insert Credits" on the screen, sometimes game developers go for a sleeker "Title Only" look.

    Menu-Based:

    Menu-based title screens either give you some choices right away, or it waits for you to press start and then gives you some choices. This type of menu is common in today's world of gaming, and has now become the norm.

    In-Game:

    Unlike other title screens, In-Game title screens do not wait for you to press a button, and there are no menu options. Instead they fade in and out during the opening cutscene or during the start of gameplay, simply to show you the title. This is very similar to the Late Title Card, however it is different in that it acts as the first main title screen as opposed to being the second time the title is shown.

    Minimalistic:

    This type of title screen is usually found on very artistic games. You will not get any actual title on your title screen, just something telling you to press a button. This type of screen is usually done to give the game a more surreal feeling, and to make it stand out from the crowd.
