Bachelor Thesis
BACHELOR THESIS “How does Sound Design Impact the Players Perception of the Level of Difficulty in a First Person Shooter Game?” Sebastian Darth 2015 Bachelor of Arts Audio Engineering Luleå University of Technology Department of Arts, Communication and Education 1 “How does sound design impact the players perception of the level of difficulty in a first person shooter game?” Sebastian Darth 2015 Bachelor of Science Audio Engineering Luleå University of Technology Department of Arts, Communication and Education 2 Abstract This research paper explore if a games sound design have an impact on a games perceived difficulty from a players point of view. The game industry produces many game titles that are similar in terms of mechanics and controls, for example, first person shooter games. This thesis investigates if the differences in sound design matter. Where many first person shooter games are very similar in terms of gameplay, controls and sound design, these sound designs are similar though not identical. With new information on how players use sound when they play games, interesting new games styles, mechanics and kinds of game-play could be explored. This study found that players use the sounds of his or her allies in the game more than any other sound when presented different tasks in games. It was also shown that players use the sound of weapon fire to know where their targets are and when they need to take cover to avoid defeat. Finally it was suggested that loud weapons might impact the perceived difficulty as it might cover the sounds of the various voices. -

Nicole Vickery Thesis (PDF 10MB)
ENGAGING IN ACTIVITIES: THE FLOW EXPERIENCE OF GAMEPLAY Nicole E. M. Vickery Bachelor of Games and Interactive Entertainment, Bachelor of Information Technology (First Class Honours) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2019 Keywords Videogames; Challenge; Activities; Gameplay; Play; Activity Theory; Dynamics; Flow; Immersion; Game design; Conflict; Narrative. i Abstract Creating better player experience (PX) is dependent upon understanding the act of gameplay. The aim of this thesis is to develop an understanding of enjoyment in dynamics actions in-game. There are few descriptive works that capture the actions of players while engaging in playing videogames. Emerging from this gap is our concept of activities, which aims to help describe how players engage in both game-directed (ludic), and playful (paidic) actions in videogames. Enjoyment is central to the player experience of videogames. This thesis utilises flow as a model of enjoyment in games. Flow has been used previously to explore enjoyment in videogames. However, flow has rarely been used to explore enjoyment of nuanced gameplay behaviours that emerge from in-game activities. Most research that investigates flow in videogames is quantitative; there is little qualitative research that describes ‘how’ or ‘why’ players experience flow. This thesis aims to fill this gap by firstly understanding how players engage in activities in games, and then investigating how flow is experience based on these activities. In order to address these broad objectives, this thesis includes three qualitative studies that were designed to create an understanding of the relationship between activities and flow in games. -

Ncaa Football 13 Pc Download Full Game Download NCAA Football 99 (Windows) Thanks to the Gaming Industry Hype Machine, There Aren't Many Surprises These Days
ncaa football 13 pc download full game Download NCAA Football 99 (Windows) Thanks to the gaming industry hype machine, there aren't many surprises these days. An exception to this rule came last fall, when EA Sports released the unheralded NCAA Football 98 to great acclaim. Many pundits -- including myself -- thought that it was the best arcade pigskin title of the year. Now it's a year later, and NCAA Football 99 is on the streets. Thanks to the success of its predecessor, the sequel features all the bells (3D hardware support) and whistles (simulation features like Dynasty play) that the original lacked. It should combine the best of both worlds. It should be a winner. Is it? In a word, no. Unfortunately, a lot was lost in the translation from arcade fun to football simulation. While the addition of important elements like 3D support and Dynasty play was crucial to the long-term success of this series, gameplay must always remain the main concern of the producers. And after playing NCAA 99 for the past couple of weeks, I'm not sure that it was. Great expectations. My expectations started to be dashed when I opened the NCAA 99 box. Not that I expected anything different, but the manual is horrible once again. EA Sports continues with the fine tradition of useless documents with another waste of paper. The basic features are covered, but in a slight and disorganized fashion, and absolutely nothing is in there about strategies. I understand that the expected profits from a college title like this wouldn't justify an extra disc like the one that traditionally ships with the Madden games, but can't somebody slap together a text file? I love football and am probably more knowledgeable than the casual fan, but the esoterics of play calling on such an advanced level sometimes escape me.
