Studying game creation and gameplays from:

  • The nature of games

  • Theoretical and conceptual perspectives

  • Cultural perspectives

  • Post-Modernism (cultural critique) → The phase we’re living now

    • Everything in question
    • Uncertainty
    • Sense of Identity, Existentialism → Questioning everything

  • Post-structuralist views (critique)

    • Critique of structuralist views
    • Cultural conditioning - biases

  • Simulacra and hyperrealism (redefinition) - Jean Baudrillard

    • models of real without origin - a hyperreality
    • hyperreal world - e.g. ‘Disneyland’

Game Violence Debate

  • Violent games have been blamed for violence → cannot be a proven cause-and-effect relationship betwen media violence and real violence
  • Contemporary research is most often interested in particular contexts for media use and looks for → games positive effects as well as possible detrimental consequences of digital play
  • Debate around violent games continue + many countries have introduced games-related legislation

Towards 3D Technology

  • The increase of memory and computing power is reflected when 8-bit games turned into 16- bit, then 32, then 64, then 128-bit
  • Home PC are capable with 3D graphics became widely available in 1990s

PC Strategy Game

  • Civilization (1992)
    • involves taking the role of controlling a civilization, building cities, developing new technologies and competing with other civilizations
    • Long game sessions

Components of Gameplay Immersion

  • 3 main components:
    • sensory immersion (sounds and interactive images of virtual space)
    • challenge-based immersion in the actions of play (Sometimes close to an optimal, ‘flow’ experience)
    • Imaginative immersion in the world of fiction in a game

Benefits and Disadvantages of 3D

  • find a game that has appeared in both 2d and 3d version → compare and give grounds whether 3d is beneficial or not in games
  • real time and turn-based → pick a game with either real-time or turn-based action; describe its core game mechanics and explain how the player experiences them temporally during play.
