But we’re not stopping there. In Dead Space 3 Awakened, gamers will experience some of the most disturbing content they have ever seen in a Dead Space game – they are going to love it.” Dead Space 3 takes players to the edge of the psyche on a suspense-filled expedition to uncover the secret of the Necromorph infestation and unravel the mystery behind the mysterious Markers.

    Representations of Ability in Digital Games This Chapter Focuses On

    August 10 2018 (edit 20/8/2018) Carr, D (2014 / 2019) Representations of Ability in Digital Games. Paper for the Critical Evaluation of Game Studies Seminar. 28-29 April 2014, University of Tampere, Finland. Accepted as a chapter for Gaming Disability, eta 2019, eds Ellis, Kent, Lever Representations of Ability in Digital Games This chapter focuses on representations of ability, disability and able bodies in digital games. The issues explored through game analysis include vulnerability and disability-as-threat in Dead Space, augmentation and control in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and the relationship between zombies, leprosy and fatherhood in The Last of Us and The Walking Dead. The work raises questions about the place of assessment within games, and the links between in-game epistemology and real-world practices. The chapter is based on a paper that was first presented at the Critical Evaluation of Game Studies seminar hosted by University of Tampere in spring 2014. This version (prepared for Gaming Disability in 2018) has been edited for clarity but because it documents a work-in-progress at a particular point in time I have resisted the temptation to extensively rewrite, update or revise. Games and education researchers have explored in-game pedagogy and the acquisition of skills, but there has been little critical or reflective exploration of the concept of ability itself. Likewise, while lots of digital games feature damaged bodies and various forms of augmentation, there is very little game studies literature on representations of disability. The relationship between the status associated with ability, and the stigma and abjection associated with disability has rarely been addressed.
