  • Nic Howe FPS CPR: Doom Vs. DOOM the Reboot of the DOOM Franchise
    Nic Howe FPS CPR: Doom vs. DOOM The reboot of the DOOM franchise released in May of 2016 is quite possibly my favorite FPS of all time. For that reason, I find it intriguing to go back to the original game after having played the new one and tracing the roots of the mechanics and design philosophy of the new DOOM and how it innovated on the design of the original. I believe that the new DOOM’s design philosophy was to return the single player FPS experience back to that of the experience of the form in its nascent stages, back when every FPS was attempting to iterate off of its predecessor. At the same time, the new DOOM also iterates and expands upon the frustrating mechanics and technical limitations of its predecessor in order to make it a fully modern and unique experience instead of just rehashing the original. The clearest example of modernization comes in the differences between the level design. Doom inherently had to be oriented on a single plane simply because the technology had not reached the point where full 3D worlds were possible. In fact, the original Doom is a 2D top down shooter masquerading as a 3D game. While verticality is faked in some points (the imp standing high on a ledge in e1m1 comes to mind) Doom is a strictly single planar experience. The new DOOM breaks that bound and becomes an intensely vertical experience. The introduction of the jump jets allows the player to use the air space in ways that were simply impossible in the original Doom—a game in which you cannot jump.

  • High-Performance Play: the Making of Machinima
    High-Performance Play: The Making of Machinima Henry Lowood Stanford University <DRAFT. Do not cite or distribute. To appear in: Videogames and Art: Intersections and Interactions, Andy Clarke and Grethe Mitchell (eds.), Intellect Books (UK), 2005. Please contact author, [email protected], for permission.> Abstract: Machinima is the making of animated movies in real time through the use of computer game technology. The projects that launched machinima embedded gameplay in practices of performance, spectatorship, subversion, modification, and community. This article is concerned primarily with the earliest machinima projects. In this phase, DOOM and especially Quake movie makers created practices of game performance and high-performance technology that yielded a new medium for linear storytelling and artistic expression. My aim is not to answer the question, “are games art?”, but to suggest that game-based performance practices will influence work in artistic and narrative media. Biography: Henry Lowood is Curator for History of Science & Technology Collections at Stanford University and co-Principal Investigator for the How They Got Game Project in the Stanford Humanities Laboratory. A historian of science and technology, he teaches Stanford’s annual course on the history of computer game design. With the collaboration of the Internet Archive and the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences, he is currently working on a project to develop The Machinima Archive, a permanent repository to document the history of Machinima moviemaking. A body of research on the social and cultural impacts of interactive entertainment is gradually replacing the dismissal of computer games and videogames as mindless amusement for young boys. There are many good reasons for taking computer games1 seriously.
