  • The Camera in 3D Video Games
    University of Utah UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH JOURNAL DESIGNING FOR INTERACTIVITY: THE CAMERA IN 3D VIDEOGAMES Jackson Keller (Gabriel Olson) Department of Entertainment Arts and Engineering ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the effect that camera control has on art, design, and player experience in 3D video games. It will specifically explore the implications of various methods of camera control that have emerged during the brief history of 3D games: the first and third-person perspectives, fixed and filmic perspectives, abstract non-linear perspectives, and unique perspectives enabled by recent technological innovation, including Virtual and Augmented reality. TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT I INTRODUCTION 3 THE EMERGENCE OF 3D VIDEO GAMES 4 THE THIRD-PERSON PERSPECTIVE 9 ALTERNATE APPROACHES TO THE CAMERA: IMITATING FILM 14 THE NON-LINEAR PERSPECTIVE: EXPERIMENTAL ART AND SIMULATED CAMERAS 20 THE IMPLICATIONS OF INNOVATION: MODIFICATION OF EXISTING PERSPECTIVES 22 CONCLUSION 24 SPECIAL THANKS 25 WORKS CITED 26 ii INTRODUCTION Both games and film are audiovisual media. One understanding of the medium of games is as a form of interactive movie, descending from the legacy of film. While games are certainly their own art form (The 2011 Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association Supreme Court decision gave video games first amendment protection as an art form), many games do contain filmic elements. However, interactivityi is central to the medium and generally takes precedence over aesthetic control. Most 3D games allow the player to control the camera, and the gameplay experience lacks the cinematographic precision of film. Designers craft levels to lead players towards game objectives, as well as composed aesthetic experiences when possible.

Je remercie tout particulièrement Nicolas GIDON, sans qui la réalisation de la partie pratique de ce mémoire aurait été plus chronophage et complexe.. Je remercie et salue Nicolas FOURNIER et Baptiste PALACIN, dont les travaux et la gentillesse ont été une source d'inspiration et de détermination. Je remercie également ma mère, ma tante, Jordy, Julien et Julien (n'en déplaise à Julien), Timothée et mes amis pour leur soutien indéfectible. Merci à madame VALOUR, monsieur COLLET, monsieur FARBRÈGES ainsi qu'à leurs élèves. Enfin, merci à From Software et à NetherRealm Studios pour leur jeux, qui auront été un défouloir bienvenu. Page 2 Résumé Ce mémoire de master a pour objet d'étude les interactions vocales dans le jeu vidéo. Cependant, il ne se limite pas à une étude historique de l'évolution de la vocalité au sein des jeux vidéo mais en propose une formalisation théorique autour de trois concepts essentiels : Mécanique, Narration et Immersion. De ces trois concepts découlent trois types de voix : les voix système, les voix narratives (linéaires et non- linéaires) et les voix d'ambiance. Dans le prolongement de cette étude et en s'appuyant sur les travaux menés dans le cadre des parties expérimentale et pratique de ce mémoire, ayant abouti à la réalisation d'un jeu vidéo basé sur l'analyse spectrale de la voix du joueur, v0x, nous proposons une extension de cette théorie de la vocalité vidéo-ludique afin d'intégrer l'inclusion de la voix du joueur au sein de ce cadre d'étude.

    PROGRAM 2018 PROGRAM#nordicgame 2017 #nordicgame Welcome to Nordic Game 2018 It’s a great pleasure to welcome you to this fifteenth edition of Nordic Game, the only conference in the world with a dedicated focus on the entire Nordic games industry. Over the years we’ve evolved from a humble regional conference into a truly global industry event, as our vision of a strong, united games community and the values so many of us share - openness, innovation and diversity - have resonated with games industry professionals around the world, and they have been welcomed into our extended family. Of course, we continue to proudly celebrate the sheer quality and variety of games developed in the Nordic countries, and this year’s Nordic Game Awards (Thursday, 24 May from 18:00 in the Unreal Theatre) once again reflects the imagination and vitality of developers from the region we call home. However, our rapidly changing, interconnected industry doesn’t allow us to rest on our laurels, and our opening keynote (Wednesday, 23 May at 11:00 in the Unreal Theatre) brings together a panel of leaders from some of our most prominent Nordic studios to explore key challenges and opportunities for game developers moving forward. True to the many values we share with our extended global family, we’re also introducing a string of talks - the Impact sessions - that delve beyond the albeit important business and technical aspects of game development, to encourage all of us to think more deeply about the real impact of the games we create - and how we create them - on our world.

  • The Shape of Games to Come: Critical Digital Storytelling in the Era of Communicative Capitalism
    The Shape of Games to Come: Critical Digital Storytelling in the Era of Communicative Capitalism by Sarah E. Thorne A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2018, Sarah E. Thorne Abstract The past decade has seen an increase in the availability of user-friendly game development software, the result of which has been the emergence of a genre of reflexive and experimental games. Pippin Barr, La Molleindustria’s Paolo Pedercini, and Davey Wreden are exemplary in their thoughtful engagement with an ever-expanding list of subjects, including analyses and critiques of game development, popular culture, and capitalism. These works demonstrate the power of games as a site for critical media theory. This potential, however, is hindered by the player-centric trends in the game industry that limit the creative freedom of developers whose work is their livelihood. In the era of communicative capitalism, Jodi Dean argues that the commodification of communication has suspended narrative in favour of the circulation of fragmented and digestible opinions, which not only facilitates the distribution and consumption of communication, but also safeguards communicative capitalism against critique. Ultimately, the very same impulse that drives communicative capitalism is responsible for the player-centric trends that some developers view as an obstacle to their art. Critical game studies has traditionally fallen into two categories: those that emphasize the player as the locus of critique, such as McKenzie Wark’s trifler or Mary Flanagan’s critical play, and those that emphasize design, as in Alexander Galloway’s countergaming, Ian Bogost’s procedural rhetoric, and Gonzalo Frasca’s theory of simulation.

  • Playing the Second World War: Call of Duty and the Telling of History Harrison Gish Eludamos
    Vol. 4, No. 2 (2010) http://www.eludamos.org Playing the Second World War: Call of Duty and the Telling of History Harrison Gish Eludamos. Journal for Computer Game Culture. 2010; 4 (2), p. 167-180 Playing the Second World War: Call of Duty and the Telling of History HARRISON GISH In a recent episode of The Simpsons (31 January 2010), the crotchety, aged Mr. Burns stands in front of a Nintendo Wii display at the Springfield Mall. Holding the Wii controller as one would hold a handgun, the tycoon finds himself playing a World War II-era first-person shooter that requires him to fire upon members of the approaching German army. Leaning over to his ever-vigilant assistant, Smithers, the somewhat bewildered Burns intones, “Shooting at Nazis...? That’s not how I remember it.” The historical first-person shooter, which this episode of The Simpsons lampoons, has become a conspicuous and highly lucrative sub-genre within contemporary videogames.1 The first-person shooter has always been indebted to skewed representations of World War II, with the genre’s popular genesis closely tied to id Software’s release of Wolfenstein 3D in 1992 (in the game, the player attempts to escape a Nazi-controlled castle in the heart of the Third Reich).2 In the eighteen years since Wolfenstein’s release, numerous iterations of the first-person shooter have appeared, many set in dystopian futuristic worlds such as the decimated cityscapes of Half-Life 2 (Valve 2004) and the alien planet of Halo (Bungie 2001). Games such as Wolfenstein and Battlefield 1942 (Digital Illusions 2002), in contrast, situate game play within war torn European countries during the mid-twentieth century, differentiating themselves as a distinct sub-genre through their evocation of the past.
