  • GAMING GLOBAL a Report for British Council Nick Webber and Paul Long with Assistance from Oliver Williams and Jerome Turner
    GAMING GLOBAL A report for British Council Nick Webber and Paul Long with assistance from Oliver Williams and Jerome Turner I Executive Summary The Gaming Global report explores the games environment in: five EU countries, • Finland • France • Germany • Poland • UK three non-EU countries, • Brazil • Russia • Republic of Korea and one non-European region. • East Asia It takes a culturally-focused approach, offers examples of innovative work, and makes the case for British Council’s engagement with the games sector, both as an entertainment and leisure sector, and as a culturally-productive contributor to the arts. What does the international landscape for gaming look like? In economic terms, the international video games market was worth approximately $75.5 billion in 2013, and will grow to almost $103 billion by 2017. In the UK video games are the most valuable purchased entertainment market, outstripping cinema, recorded music and DVDs. UK developers make a significant contribution in many formats and spaces, as do developers across the EU. Beyond the EU, there are established industries in a number of countries (notably Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand) who access international markets, with new entrants such as China and Brazil moving in that direction. Video games are almost always categorised as part of the creative economy, situating them within the scope of investment and promotion by a number of governments. Many countries draw on UK models of policy, although different countries take games either more or less seriously in terms of their cultural significance. The games industry tends to receive innovation funding, with money available through focused programmes.

  • BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Tropico 5 Dikembangkan Oleh Haemimont Games Dan Dipublikasikan Oleh Kalypso Media Pada Tahu
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Tropico 5 dikembangkan oleh Haemimont Games dan dipublikasikan oleh Kalypso Media pada tahun 2014 sebagai game PC kemudian merambah ke konsol lainnya seperti PlayStation 4, Xbox, hingga sistem operasi Macintosh dan Linux. Tropico dikenal dengan humor yang bergurau dengan topik diktator digabungkan dengan gameplay simulasi pembangunan dan manajemen. Tropico 5 merupakan sekuel kelima dari series game Tropico (Tack, 2014). Semua series game Tropico, termasuk Tropico 5 berada dalam genre game simulasi, lebih spesifiknya Construction Management Simulation (CMS). Dimana simulasi, manajemen dan tata kota menjadi satu. Biasanya game ber-genre CMS meletakkan peran pemain dalam cerita game sebagai orang yang berwenang membangun, menata kota dan mengawasinya; biasanya peran walikota, raja, kepala suku, dan dalam game Tropico 5 ini pemain mengambil peran sebagai presiden yang baik atau seorang diktator. Yang membuat Tropico 5 berbeda dari game-game lain di genre yang sama adalah unsur permainan politiknya, dan bagaimana unsur ini mempengaruhi kelancaran pemain untuk mencapa misi-misinya dalam simulasi membangun negara pulau. Salah satu aturan dalam game ini adalah setiap sekitar 5 tahun dalam waktu game, jika El-Presidente (sebutan peran pemain sebagai presiden dalam game Tropico 5) tidak mendapat setidaknya 50% dari dukungan populer warga negaranya, maka pemain otomatis kalah dan harus mengulang lagi dari awal atau dari titik simpan terakhir. Terdapat juga golongan-golongan politik yang dapat disogok, dan event-event lainnya yang akan ditemui pemain ketika berpindah era. Series game Tropico menjadi sebuah cult-favorite karena dalam game, pemain dapat menjalankan fitur kill, bribe, banish sebagai pemimpin negara, yaitu memerintahkan pembunuhan, penyogokan dan pengasingan warga negara Tropico.

  • The Last Remnant Xbox 360 Iso Download Region Free the Last Remnant
    the last remnant xbox 360 iso download region free The Last Remnant. In ancient times, mysterious artifacts referred to as Remnants were discovered all over the world. People used these objects for their awesome powers — a choice that eventually began to cause a rift in the world's balance. Equality was replaced by those who ruled and those who were ruled over. War was inevitable. A thousand years later is when this story begins. Rush lives with his sister Irina on secluded Eulam Island, far from the power struggles for Remnants that are occurring back on the mainland. However, this peaceful life is shattered when his sister is suddenly kidnapped by a mysterious group of soldiers right before his eyes. He immediately sets off after them, unaware of the evils of the outside world but determined to find his sister at any cost. The Last Remnant. The first things that'll strike you about The Last Remnant, after its perplexingly long install process on Steam has completed, is that the menu system is a confusing mess. All the information is there, but navigating is a pain in the posterior. I even resorted to plugging in an Xbox 360 pad, which promptly failed to work. Finally I found all the options I wanted and there was an intriguing nugget hidden away in the clutter: you can play this JRPG in Japanese with English subtitles. The plot of The Last Remnant runs thus: you play Rush Sykes, whose sister has been spirited off by some ne'er-do-wells, leaving only her magic talisman behind.

  • Playing with People's Lives 1 Playing with People's Lives How City-Builder Games Portray the Public and Their Role in the D
    Playing With People’s Lives 1 Playing With People’s Lives How city-builder games portray the public and their role in the decision-making process Senior Honors Thesis, City & Regional Planning Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with honors research distinction in City and Regional Planning in the Knowlton School of Architecture at the Ohio State University By William Plumley The Ohio State University May 2018 Faculty Research Mentor: Professor Tijs van Maasakkers, City and Regional Planning Playing With People’s Lives 2 Abstract – City-builder computer games are an integral part of the city planning profession. Educators structure lessons around playtime to introduce planning concepts, professionals use the games as tools of visualization and public outreach, and the software of planners and decision-makers often takes inspiration from the genre. For the public, city-builders are a source of insight into what planners do, and the digital city’s residents show players what role they play in the urban decision-making process. However, criticisms persist through decades of literature from professionals and educators alike but are rarely explored in depth. Published research also ignores the genre’s diverse offerings in favor of focusing on the bestseller of the moment. This project explores how the public is presented in city-builder games, as individuals and as groups, the role the city plays in their lives, and their ability to express their opinions and participate in the process of planning and governance. To more-broadly evaluate the genre as it exists today, two industry-leading titles receiving the greatest attention by planners, SimCity and Cities: Skylines, were matched up with two less-conventional games with their own unique takes on the genre, Tropico 5 and Urban Empire.

  • Nordic Game Sales 2014 Retail PREFACE
    Nordic Game Sales 2014 Retail PREFACE With the Nordic release of Microsoft’s Xbox One in September 2014 the new generation of video game consoles has come full circle. Xbox One & Playstation 4 has paved the way for impressive sales in brick and-mortar stores as well as digital channels. The Nintendo Wii U grows its installed base during its second year on the market and promising titles on the horizon indicates room for growth. Handheld consoles are often compared to the mobile games market, at times with good reason. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen how the traditional handheld market will adapt to today’s consumer culture. A lot of traditional publishers have over the last years successfully acquired considerable market shares in the crowded mobile sphere, while Nintendo – synonymous with handheld gaming – has recently revealed an upcoming entry into apps and mobile games. What all consoles have in common is a sophistication of, and radically increased interest in, digital sales. The industry has largely moved beyond a focus on volumes sold, to care more about the retention and longevity of the games. Destiny is a good example of that, a hit game in both physical and digital sales channels, generating a substantial amount of long-tail revenue through downloadable content and by keeping users interested in the service. The same shift is visible in FIFA, Call of Duty, Battlefield, and other beloved franchises. Physical sales continue to be a highly relevant segment of the video games market. It is still the largest individual segment (compared with, online, mobile etc.) and also a source for continuous innovation.

  • The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices
    The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices «A comparative study of the differences in video game rating practices between Europe and Japan» Marita Eriksen Haugland Master’s thesis in Nordic Media Department of Media and Communication THE UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Fall 2018 The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices «A comparative study of the differences in video game rating practices between Europe and Japan» Marita Eriksen Haugland Master’s thesis in Nordic Media II Department of Media and Communication THE UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Fall 2018 III © Marita Eriksen Haugland 2018 The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices: A comparative study of the differences in video game rating practices between Europe and Japan Marita Eriksen Haugland http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Abstract Video games have become a large part of media consumption, both for adults and children. This study contributes to the field of children and media by looking into the perceptions and construction of risk by self-regulatory organizations, as well as into self-regulatory effectiveness. The thesis also discusses the struggle and the compromises between child safety, cultural differences and freedom of expression. It takes up the question of how the cultural differences affect the age ratings and content descriptors. All video games rated in Europe and Japan between 2010-2016 are analyzed to show the differences between the regions. Also, content analyses are performed on 24 video games with emblematic differences in age ratings or content descriptors. The findings suggest that cultural differences in how the two systems view crime, non-realistic violence, realistic blood, non-sexual nudity, romantic behavior, and sexualized behavior is responsible for some of the differences in age ratings and content descriptors.
