    Activision Signs Multi-Year Agreement with Legendary Game Designer Peter Molyneux Santa Monica, CA - March 4, 2003 - Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today that the company has signed an agreement with legendary U.K.- based game designer Peter Molyneux. Under the terms of the agreement, the company has secured the exclusive worldwide rights to Molyneux's new project tentatively titled The Movies for the PC and all video game console platforms. The agreement also grants Activision the option to publish sequels and add-on products to the title. The Movies currently is being developed by Molyneux's Lionhead Studios, whose last title, Black and White, sold almost 2 million units worldwide. Black and White topped PC sell-through charts around the globe and was a #1 best-selling game in the United Kingdom and Germany. Slated for release in 2004, The Movies gives gamers the opportunity to run their own Hollywood movie studio from the silent days of the 1920s, through the advent of new technologies into the present and beyond. The game puts players in charge of a Hollywood dream factory where they decide which movies to make and the stars to make them. The player selects the scripts, directors, sets and movie stars before shooting the action and watching their finished movie on opening night. Players can manage the money, egos, tears & tantrums on their way to living the Hollywood dream. "Peter is undoubtedly one of the most talented video game designers in the world, and Lionhead is one of the very few development studios with the knowledge and resources to develop a game that will allow players to fulfill the fantasy of building a movie empire," states Larry Goldberg, executive vice president of Activision Worldwide Studios.

  • Spawn This: Minecraft As a Virtual World
    Spawn This: Minecraft as a Virtual World (presented at Society for Cinema and Media Studies Conference in Montreal, March 2015 and part of a longer essay) Lori Landay, Berklee College of Music à advance in Prezi http://prezi.com/41ifd5nd_erz/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share *à*In 2006, cover stories in Wired and Business Week hyped virtual worlds, speculating that “Virtual worlds may end up playing an even more sweeping role -- as far more intuitive portals into the vast resources of the entire Internet than today's World Wide Web.”1 Second Life and Open Sim grids still have a dedicated user base, as do habbo and Disney’s Club Penguin, but there.com, Google’s lively, facebook’s Cloud Party, and LEGO Universe are all defunct. The promise glimpsed in those virtual worlds has not materialized—or virtualized—in a mainstream way. Until now, with Minecraft. Although it does not look or at first seem like what proponents of virtual worlds have been waiting for, Minecraft is the breakthrough success for virtual worlds. To be sure, there are other transmedial imaginary worlds that are participatory and brimming with user-generated content. There have been player-created servers that mod a game in new narrative, gameplay, and social directions, and create vibrant communities. But no game or other transmedial IP has approached the size or the scope of Minecraft, and its players use Minecraft as a portal into disparate media experiences, including other franchises, to an unprecedented degree. In thinking through how what has emerged through the Minecraft phenomenon has redefined what a virtual world is, this presentation explores three interrelated questions: *à*What does it mean to consider Minecraft as a virtual world? Why has it succeeded as the breakthrough virtual world? How does transmedial experience factor into Minecraft as a virtual world? First, some information about Minecraft that helps us understand how a low-res looking video game spawned a virtual world.

This talk describes the successfully productization of the state-of-the-art statistical machine learning technology to create LiveMove and LiveCombat. LiveMove is a groundbreaking artificial intelligence product that enables the Wii Remote to learn. Instead of complicated programming, developers need only take a few minutes to train Wii controllers through examples. Nintendo now sublicenses and promotes LiveMove to Wii developers around the world. Our other product, LiveCombat, gives developers and players the power to build AI characters that learn how to behave by observing the actions of human players. AI characters learn in seconds to be trusted companions or deadly foes. The talk will include many anecdotes and observations from lessons learned (often the hard way) along the way. Wolff Daniel Dobson received his PhD in computer science from Northwestern University, specializing in artificial intelligence and intelligent user interfaces. At Visual Concepts Entertainment, he constructed emotional behavior on NBA2K for Dreamcast, and then became colead for artificial intelligence on NBA2K1 (garnering a Metacritic.com score of 93).

Minecraft is an open world sandbox game that focuses on building, exploration, and survival. It is an independently developed (indie) game created by Markus Persson and his company Mojang. Although there is an “ending” to the game, the user sets out his/her own objectives, as each action in the game provides rewards. Background Originally known as Cave Game, the first development phase of Minecraft began on May 10th, 2009. After a short development cycle of only 6 days, the first version of the game was publicly released on the 17th of May, 2009. This phase of the game would later become known as Classic, and it can still be played to this day. Over the next couple of years, Minecraft would go through many updates and changes, before being officially released on November 18th, 2011. The Rise of Minecraft Being an indie game, Minecraft lacked a fan base upon initial release. At the time, YouTube personalities began to upload “Let’s Plays,” videos in which people would play a video game and provide live commentary of their interactions. SeaNanners and YogsCast, two successful YouTube channels (at the time roughly 200,000-400,000 subscribers each) presented their adventures in this unknown game to a large audience which multiplied as the videos were spread on social media.

  • John Fu March 1, 2000 History 274B Prof
    Marmalade, Jute, and Video Games: The story of how Dundee, Scotland became the home of a thriving video game development community John Fu March 1, 2000 History 274B Prof. Thomas Hughes 2 Video Games…In Scotland? Japan and the United States are sometimes thought to be the sole creators of the world’s video games. This belief may stem from the fact that the most famous video game console and arcade game manufacturers (such as Atari, Midway, Namco, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Capcom) are located in Japan and the US. And with few exceptions, the best-known, most heavily merchandized video game characters (for example, Mario of Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog of the game of the same name) are of American or Japanese origin. Over the past decade, however, many best-selling video games have come from Great Britain. English and Scottish developers have been responsible for such hits as Populous, Syndicate, Lemmings, Goldeneye, and Tomb Raider. Lara Croft, the main character in the Tomb Raider series of adventure games, has become a worldwide star, and Tomb Raider is currently set to be made into a motion picture. Nonetheless, with few characters as recognizable as Mario or Sonic and the absence of a major game console manufacturer, it is remarkable that game development has flourished in specific communities within Great Britain, namely Guildford (near London), northwest England (Liverpool/Birkenhead) and Scotland. Guildford is the home of Bullfrog, a development studio that has created numerous hit games such as Syndicate and Dungeon Keeper, and of a number of companies founded by ex-Bullfrog employees.
