Bernfeld Introduction Dawn Stobbart and Monica Evans The chapters in this volume reflect the discussions that occurred during the 5th Global Conference on Videogame Cultures and the Future of Interactive Entertainment, held as part of Cyber Hub activity within the Inter-Disciplinary.Net Critical Issues research hub at Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom in July 2013. This edited collection of chapters provides a snapshot of the inquiries, discussions, and conclusions drawn at this conference. Game studies remains a highly interdisciplinary field, and as such tends to bring together scholars and researchers from a wide variety of fields. This conference included experts in literature, visual art, history, classics, film studies, new media studies, phenomenology, education, philosophy, psychology and the social sciences, as well as game studies, design, and development. Additionally, twelve nationalities were represented at this conference, which included scholars from Austria, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, New Zealand, Poland, Qatar, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States (including an unusually large delegation from the state of Texas). Throughout the conference, numerous topics were developed among the presentations and discussions. The most prevalent conversation involved linking the practices of gaming to educational possibilities, particularly for adolescents and young adults. Discussions of identity theory and formation led easily to structural concerns about developing serious games to raise awareness, inspire change, and educate underserved or at-risk populations. Much discussion also surrounded the identity of ‘gamers’ themselves, from surveys of the habits and practices of gamer populations to individual and cultural perceptions of gamer-ness. Another series of conversations centred on the cultures of gaming, particularly as they relate to gender identity, racial identity and nationality. These discussions expanded to other cultural expressions, such as comedy, horror, political history and nostalgia. Also pervasive throughout the conference were the presentation of new theories and models for understanding the videogame as a medium. Theories covered a wide variety of topics, including a controversial suggestion that the humanities be recontextualised as a subset of game studies. Other theories involved ideologies of gender, new forms of player agency and immersion, player progression and the categorisation of rulesets. Discussions of narratology and ludology were again present, although framed this time in wider questions of videogame history, games as art practice, and the evolution of narrative structures as a whole. Much of the conference considered movement between theory and practice in the field of game studies as a whole. In-depth discussions, close readings, and analyses of games included the Mass Effect series, Dishonored, Murder on the Orient Express, Deus Ex, Braid, The Walking Dead and World of Warcraft. Delegates discussed games that spanned genres, platforms and history, from triple- x Introduction __________________________________________________________________ A games released only months before the conference such as The Last of Us and Tomb Raider 2013, to games nearly thirty years old such as Raid over Moscow, to obscure experimental games such as Slave of God. Close analyses were also influenced by the techniques and practices of numerous fields, from art history to true literary criticism, and many discussions centred on the potential translation of analytical techniques to game studies from other fields. The conference included two workshop sessions, in which participants explored practical and methodological aspects of game development and design. Tim Christopher led the workshop ‘Metagaming for Academics,’ in which participants learned to rapidly prototype multiple sets of game mechanics, a widespread practice in both digital and analogue game development. Monica Evans led the workshop ‘Digital Mobile Game Design,’ which introduced participants to concept, pre-production, and design methodologies for digital games intended for mobile, social and handheld platforms. Two game prototypes resulted from these workshops, ‘Tim’s Game,’ and ‘Animal Regatta,’ a competitive zoo-centric boat racing game. To reflect the primary topics of the conference discussed above, the twenty-six chapters of the book have been organised into four parts: Part 1: Gaming Practices and Education Part 2: Gaming Practices and Culture Part 3: Videogame Theory Part 4: From Theory to Practice The first part of the book presents six chapters focused on gaming practices as they relate to various forms of education. Sara Mathieu-C. and Louis-Martin Guay begin the section with their chapter ‘Toward a Social-Constructivist View of Serious Games: Practical Implications for the Design of a Sexual Health Education Video Game.’ Looking primarily at sexual health education programmes for adolescents, the chapter discusses how a social-constructivist educational paradigm might be leveraged to create innovative and impactful serious games in the field of sexual health.

  • Gender and Sexuality
    Elyse Lemoine November 21, 2013 Game Studies I I am the Shadow, the True Self: Exploring Dungeons, Gender, Sexuality, and Identity in Persona 4 In the small, foggy town of Inaba, trouble brews as people begin to disappearing, reappearing on a TV program called the “Midnight Channel,” where they become cartoonish impersonations of themselves, broadcasting their thoughts and feelings to the world. When the fog rolls into Inaba, it brings the corpses of the missing with it. In the Japanese roleplaying game, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, the player assumes the role of a silent, male protagonist, the Hero, on a mission to save as many people from the Midnight Channel as possible and figure out who the true culprit is behind these disappearances, all while managing school, studying, part-time jobs, and his social life. The game has two main methods of gameplay: one in the town of Inaba, where the player is a powerless high school student trying to manage his life, and one in the television world, where the player and his party must explore dungeons and fight Shadows using the power of Persona. These dungeons, as manifestations of the human psyche, allow players to experience and interact with characters struggling with ideas of self-perception, identity, gender, and sexuality. In Persona 3, players were given Tartarus to explore, a dungeon accessible almost every night. Balancing one’s social life along with exploring this single dungeon became the core mechanic of the game. Persona 4 followed a similar mechanic, only with smaller, individualized dungeons that appear one at a time, tied directly to the game’s main characters.

In the town of Inaba a rumor is going around that by looking at a TV screen at 12:00 AM on a rainy night the face of the viewer’s soulmate will be revealed. The player takes control of a second year high school student who is forced to move to the countryside and live with his uncle’s family for an entire year while his parents are overseas on business and, as a result, becomes inexplicitly involved in the supernatural chain of murders. Victims that are thrown into the TV are attacked and ultimately killed by their Shadows, or manifestations of their repressed psyches, and are found dead in the human world on days of fog. The protagonist and his team of Persona users, must brave the horrors and unknowns of the mysterious TV world populated by Shadows, beings that represent the generally negative emotions and psyches of mankind, in order to seek the truth behind the chain of mysterious murders and their connections to this mysterious rumor, rescue the victims, and uncover the identity of the culprit responsible.

  • Gaming Flashback: Timesplitters 2 in Or Modern Era of Gaming, Where Yearly Call of Duty Releases Are Hotly Awaited and the Lates
    Gaming Flashback: TimeSplitters 2 In or modern era of gaming, where yearly Call of Duty releases are hotly awaited and the latest Halo release can be the backbone of the latest console generation, it’s hard to believe that the first- person shooter genre was once regarded with apprehension. In truth, this mode of gaming is barely a decade old, in its popular form. Back in the mid-2000s, when I was passing from junior high to high school and really getting my feet wet in video games, as a whole, I used to scoff at the genre. Sure, there were a few fun outliers, and a couple of rounds of Goldeneye 007 were good during a birthday party, but I could see no way in which they could ever supersede my beloved RPGs or RTS games. The party game corner was already fully claimed by Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and fighting games like Soul Calibur 2 – perish the thought of some run-and-gun nonsense ever taking their place! But naïve I was, dear readers! How wrong I could be! Because it only took one party for a friend of a friend to show me the light; and the savior was called TimeSplitters2. Released in October of 2002, this ridiculous FPS was the smash sequel to an early PS2 title created by a splinter team from the legendary Rare studios, henceforth known as Free Radical. Combining their technical know-how from the aforementioned Goldeneye for the N64 and a wry British comedy, TimeSplitters 2 lets players kill each other and enemy bots with a variety of weapons as a plethora of characters, from throughout time, space, and sanity.
