  • Um Natal Em Tons De Playstation Por: Luís Miguel
    Um Natal em Tons de Playstation por: Luís Miguel Era já noite escura quando um vulto entrou silvando pela janela de um famoso escritório na cidade dos arcebispos. Atrás dele seguia um colorido papagaio, seu fiel companheiro. - Craaah, craaah! Onde será que os guardaram? Talvez por este lado? – gritou o papagaio, até que exclamou: – Já vi! É aqui! Entraram num gabinete espaçoso com uma grande secretária, onde se destacava um enorme monitor 21:9 ligado a uma PS4PRO. Num dos cantos via-se uma estante com uma PS3, uma PSVita, e caixas e caixas de jogos! Noutro canto via-se um pinheirinho de Natal com algumas prendas, assim como o muito desejado embrulho do CARTÃO OFERTA PLAYSTATION, em que Kratos, GT Driver, AstroBot e Sackboy convidavam à diversão. A placa na secretária era indesmentível: Jorge Loureiro, Editor. O misterioso vulto acercou-se do embrulho, arrebatando-o de uma assentada enquanto deixava um cartão de visita. Disse gritando: - Vamos! ◊◊◊ Sully lia o jornal na companhia da Elena e do seu velho amigo, que tomavam o café da manhã. - Drake, olha só isto! Ontem à noite houve um assalto na Eurogamer.pt! – exclamou Sully. - A sério? E o que levaram os bandidos? Fizeram muitos estragos? – Perguntou Nathan Drake, enquanto se empanturrava com uma torrada! - Aí é que está o mistério. Não fizeram qualquer estrago, e a polícia nem consegue perceber por onde é que entraram. Nada estava arrombado, e a porta de entrada estava devidamente trancada como havia sido deixada. Uma das janelas estava aberta, mas a não ser que o ladrão voasse não a conseguiria alcançar devido à altura e à ausência de pontos onde se agarrar! – respondeu Sully.

  • Ludic Dysnarrativa: How Can Fictional Inconsistency in Games Be Reduced? by Rory Keir Summerley
    Ludic Dysnarrativa: How Can Fictional Inconsistency In Games Be Reduced? by Rory Keir Summerley A Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the University of the Arts London In Collaboration with Falmouth University December 2017 Abstract The experience of fictional inconsistencies in games is surprisingly common. The goal was to determine if solutions exist for this problem and if there are inherent limitations to games as a medium that make storytelling uncommonly difficult. Termed ‘ludic dysnarrativa’, this phenomenon can cause a loss of immersion in the fictional world of a game and lead to greater difficulty in intuitively understanding a game’s rules. Through close textual analysis of The Stanley Parable and other games, common trends are identified that lead a player to experience dysnarrativa. Contemporary cognitive theory is examined alongside how other media deal with fictional inconsistency to develop a model of how information (fictional and otherwise) is structured in media generally. After determining that gaps in information are largely the cause of a player feeling dysnarrativa, it is proposed that a game must encourage imaginative acts from the player to prevent these gaps being perceived. Thus a property of games, termed ‘imaginability’, was determined desirable for fictionally consistent game worlds. Many specific case studies are cited to refine a list of principles that serve as guidelines for achieving imaginability. To further refine these models and principles, multiplayer games such as Dungeons and Dragons were analysed specifically for how multiple players navigate fictional inconsistencies within them. While they operate very differently to most single-player games in terms of their fiction, multiplayer games still provide useful clarifications and principles for reducing fictional inconsistencies in all games.

  • Rainbow Warriors
    Thought piece Rainbow warriors How the world of video games has (slowly) come to terms with the LGBT+ dimension ALPHA LTD St Andrew’s House St Andrew’s Road Cambridge CB4 1DL From kick-ass assassins who also happen to be gay (Kung Jin in Mortal Kombat X) United Kingdom to gender-fluid personalisation choices as standard in life simulators (The Sims 4), @thisisalphalive LGBT+ themes and characters have never had a higher profile in the video games industry. But, in 2018, just how far has the industry come in terms of representing thisisalpha.com realistic or aspirational LGBT+ diversity in its pixelated parallel universes? Straight shooters From Master Chief John-117 in Halo to Nathan Drake in Unchartered, a certain demographic still dominates the leading roles for many of the world’s biggest games. In an industry often criticised for its lack of in-game diversity, it’s all too easy to find evidence that the white, heterosexual male is still very much the default hero setting. In fact, a survey of recent games found that while straight males and females account for 66% and 31% of characters respectively, the number of LGBT+ characters is just under 3% of the total 1. Such a low figure is perhaps surprising given that LGBT+ representation in gaming has a long and colourful history dating back more than three decades. An English castle on the Cornish coast is the unlikely setting for a brief yet ground-breaking encounter. In Moonmist, released in 1986, the artist Vivian Pentreath has what appears to be a romantic quarrel with a character presumed to be her girlfriend.

Onkin tärkeää, että niitä tutkitaan muun muassa sukupuolten representaatioiden osalta. Aiemmat tutkimukset osoittavat varsinkin naispelihahmojen olevan seksualisoituja vartalon ja vaatteiden osalta, sekä määrältään aliedustettuja ja toissijaisissa rooleissa esiintyviä. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, millaisia sukupuolten representaatioita menestyspelistä Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End löytyy, ja vertailla niitä muissa videopeleissä ja yleisesti mediassa esiintyviin sukupuolten stereotyyppeihin. Tutkimuksessa keskityttiin kahteen pelin keskeiseen hahmoon, Nathan Drakeen ja Elena Fisheriin, ja aineistona toimivat pelin videokohtaukset. Aineisto kerättiin pelaamalla peli läpi ja hyödyntämällä YouTube-sivustoa. Tutkimusta lähestyttiin multimodaalisesta perspektiivistä, ja aineistoa tarkasteltiin lingvistisestä, narratiivisesta, sekä visuaalisesta näkökulmasta. Tutkimustulokset
