  • Die Kulturelle Aneignung Des Spielraums. Vom Virtuosen Spielen
    Alexander Knorr Die kulturelle Aneignung des Spielraums Vom virtuosen Spielen zum Modifizieren und zurück Ausgangspunkt Obgleich der digital divide immer noch verhindert, dass Computerspiele zu ge- nuin globalen Gütern werden, wie es etwa der Verbrennungsmotor, die Ka- laschnikow, Hollywoodikonen, Aspirin und Coca Cola längst sind, sprengt ihre sich nach wie vor beschleunigende Verbreitung deutlich geografische, natio- nale, soziale und kulturelle Schranken. In den durch die Internetinfrastruktur ermöglichten konzeptuellen Kommunikations- und Interaktionsräumen sind Spieler- und Spielkulturen wesentlich verortet, welche weiten Teilen des öf- fentlichen Diskurses fremd und unverständlich erscheinen, insofern sie über- haupt bekannt sind. Durch eine von ethnologischen Methoden und Konzepten getragene, lang andauernde und nachhaltige Annäherung ¯1 an transnational zusammengesetzte Spielergemeinschaften werden die kulturell informierten Handlungen ihrer Mitglieder sichtbar und verstehbar. Es erschließen sich so- ziale Welten geteilter Werte, Normen, Vorstellungen, Ideen, Ästhetiken und Praktiken – Kulturen eben, die wesentlich komplexer, reichhaltiger und viel- schichtiger sind, als der oberflächliche Zaungast es sich vorzustellen vermag. Der vorliegende Artikel konzentriert sich auf ein, im Umfeld prototypischer First-Person-Shooter – genau dem Genre, das im öffentlichen Diskurs beson- ders unter Beschuss steht – entstandenes Phänomen: Die äußerst performativ orientierte Kultur des trickjumping.

  • Brace Yourself for Lightspeed Arcade Multiplayer Mayhem in Laser League
    BRACE YOURSELF FOR LIGHTSPEED ARCADE MULTIPLAYER MAYHEM IN LASER LEAGUE 505 Games and Roll7 Team Up to Redefine the Arcade Genre with Fast-Paced, Exhilarating Online Competition for Everyone CALABASAS, Calif. – June 9, 2017 – 505 Games announced today a partnership with BAFTA- winning indie dev magicians Roll7 on Laser League , a fast, fun, multiplayer arcade-style action game. Known for the award-winning OlliOlli series and NOT A HERO , Roll7 bring their trademark addictive gameplay to an original vision of near-future competition. With up to 4 v. 4 intense online or local multiplayer mode with friends, Laser League ’s frenetic yet intuitive matches are easy to play but difficult to master, in a throwback to the heyday of gaming’s more approachable arcade action. Witness the exhilarating action in the first trailer. [INSERT ESRB or PEGI embed code ] “We have admired and enjoyed Roll7’s work from afar ever since the first OlliOlli game,” said Tim Woodley, senior vice president of brand and marketing, 505 Games. “When we saw the first prototype for Laser League , we could already feel that all-too-rare ‘just one more go’ impulse. We jumped at the chance to help Roll7 take their proven studio to the next level and realize their ambitions for Laser League. ” In Laser League , the exhilarating, high-octane contact sport of 2150, players battle against the opposition for control of nodes that bathe the arena in deadly light. Evading rival colored beams, teams attempt to fry their opponents with speed, strength and strategy. Special offensive and defensive abilities, as well as game-changing power-ups on the arena floor, provide an edge at the crucial moment.

    A Important Health Warning: Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. Symptoms can include light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, and loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents, watch for or ask children about these symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely to experience these seizures. The risk may be reduced by being farther from the screen; using a smaller screen; playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when drowsy or fatigued. If you or any relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. © 2019 The Codemasters Software Company Limited (“Codemasters”).
