    Reality Inspired Games: Expanding the Lens of Games’ Claims to Authenticity

    Reality Inspired Games: Expanding the Lens of Games’ Claims to Authenticity Robyn McMillan, Darshana Jayemanne, Iain Donald School of Design and Informatics, Division of Games and Arts University of Abertay Bell Street, Dundee DD1 1HG +44 1382 308000 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper considers the potentials of contemporary games staking claims to realism through documentary and journalistic techniques as part of a wide-ranging cultural and technological phenomenon– ‘Reality Inspired Games’ or RIGs (Maurin, 2018). We argue that RIGs employ design techniques and strategies of legitimation that are valuable to the reactive development cycles in the indie sector, whilst also being beneficial for academic research and development. Through examining traditional documentary and the concept of Bruzzi’s performative documentary (2006) we highlight how this concept may allow developers to negotiate performativity and authenticity in their videogames. We discuss examples of such games in the realm of indie productions, such as That Dragon, Cancer (2016), This War of Mine (2014), and My Child Lebensborn (2018) and Bury Me, My Love (2017). All of which represent new ground for game design, documentary and journalistic techniques that have influenced our work on the MacMillan project. Keywords Reality Inspired Games, Documentary, Performativity, Indie “Much like photographs, paintings, literature and music are capable of transmitting the full range of the human experience from one human to another, so too can games. Due to their interactivity, games are capable of a higher form of communication, one which actively engages the participant and makes them a part of the experience rather than a passive observer” (Brathwaite & Sharp, 2010, p315).

  • Firm Ecologies: Life Science and Video Game Industries in Liverpool

    Firm Ecologies: Life Science and Video Game Industries in Liverpool

    Firm Ecologies: Life Science and Video Game Industries in Liverpool Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Dane Kevan Anderton. September 2014 1 Abstract This research examines the life science and video games industries in Liverpool. Previous research on agglomerations and cities tends to focus on epicentres or high concentration places such as Silicon Valley or global cities such as London and Tokyo, neglecting the northern post-industrial cities such as Liverpool, Leeds or Newcastle. Equally, many studies tend to focus in on one particular industry, whereas this research examines two key knowledge economy sectors in one place. Petilis (2012) argues that the cluster literature has become overemphasised and lacks analytical ability in the investigation of smaller firms and highly diverse concentrations of activity. An alternative ecological perspective is used in this thesis, which is considered more reflexive and flexible to the composition of the agglomerations seen outside the epicentres of the global economy. Using the heterarchical approach, as outlined by Grabher (2001), this research investigates the emergence and organisation of Liverpool’s life science and video game industries. It reveals the changing composition of the industries in Liverpool and how firms are connected into wider production networks beyond Liverpool. Finally, the research analyses how the two industries are situated in the anatomy of the city. The key findings are generated from a mixed methodology utilizing qualitative semi-structure interviews with owner-managers, industry informants and supporting institutions. Secondary quantitative data has been used gathered from annual reports, company websites, industry association and office for national statistics.

    Llega La Quinta Temporada De Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare®

    Llega la Quinta Temporada de Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® Activision ha querido convocar al jugador de fútbol Jorge Resurrección, conocido como Koke, a una cita muy especial, coincidiendo con la llegada de la Temporada 5 a Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare®. El deportista, seguidor de la franquicia desde hace años, ha estado disfrutando del contenido gratuitoCall of Duty: Warzone desde su lanzamiento, el pasado mes de marzo. “La apertura del Acropolis National Arena en esta Quinta Temporada de Call of Duty: Modern Warfare es lo que todos estábamos esperando y, por fin, podemos disfrutarlo”, ha mencionado Koke Resurrección. “Esta vez yo tengo ventaja, ya que conozco los lugares más recónditos de un estadio”, ha comentado el jugador entre risas. “Warzone me ha proporcionado horas de distracción durante el confinamiento y, ahora, lo hará para desconectar de la vuelta a los entrenamientos”. El desarrollador Infinity Ward es el encargado de esta actualización, en la que el mapa de Warzone ampliará su espacio de juego gracias a la apertura del estadio, del interior de la estación de trenes, y a la llegada de un colosal tren de carga que se encuentra en continuo movimiento, y que podrá ser utilizado como base móvil de operaciones. Pero, esto no es todo, los usuarios podrán disfrutar de cuatro nuevos mapas multijugador en el lanzamiento: una nueva experiencia Guerra Terrestre, dos mapas 6v6, y un mapa en el modo Tiroteo, preparado para ofrecer un combate frenético. Naturalmente, estas novedades estarán respaldadas por nuevos modos de juego tanto en el multijugador, como en Warzone, así como por un Pase de Batalla que incluye una gran cantidad de contenido, que podrá obtenerse de forma gratuita.
