    Mafia II: el privilegio del espectador en detrimento del gamer Víctor González Carratalà Universitat Jaume I Índice 1 La película: el privilegio del espectador en detrimento del gamer .............................2 2 El videojuego: el privilegio del relato (lineal) en detrimento de la gameplay ........................8 3 A modo de conclusión.................... 14 Bibliografía............................ 15 afia II es un videojuego de acción en tercera persona, desarrol- M lado por la empresa 2K Czech, filial de 2K Games. A su vez 2K Games es una empresa distribuidora filial de Take-Two Interactive (propietaria de Rokcstars Games, desarrolladora de la saga GTA). La historia tiene como protagonista a Vito Scaletta (será el único personaje que manejemos), un joven de origen siciliano que emigra desde Italia junto con su familia a América en los años 30, en concreto, a Empire Bay (ciudad ficticia donde se desarrolla el juego, e inspirada en ciudades como Nueva York, San Francisco y Chicago). Por tanto, la in- fancia de Vito Scaletta transcurre en el mismo tiempo y contexto donde se sitúa la trama de Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, primera parte de la saga, desarrollada también por 2K Czech en 2002. Ambas ediciones están disponibles para PC, Xbox (versión que hemos analizado) y Play Station. La experiencia de Mafia II no requiere necesariamente haber jugado a la primera parte, puesto que se trata de dos historias, y dos 2 Víctor González Carratalà protagonistas, diferentes. Aunque, como después veremos, las tramas de ambas historias se cruzan en un momento determinado. En general, es concebido como un relato lineal, donde las posibili- dades del sandbox se ven delimitadas voluntariamente para dar mayor fuerza a la trama principal, y convertirse así en un cibertexto narrativo que, explotando al máximo sus posibilidades narratológicas, podemos decir, privilegia la figura del espectador por encima de la figura del ju- gador (gamer), y construye un producto cultural basado en la hibri- dación entre videojuego y cine.

  • Real-Time Reflections in and Beyond
    Real-Time Reflections in and Beyond Martin Sobek Lead Rendering Engineer Martin Sobek has been passionate about making games since 1992. Martin studied computer science at Masaryk University in Czech Rebublic with a specialization in computer graphics. He joined Illusion Softworks in 2007 and worked on 'Mafia II'. He then moved to Hangar 13 in California in 2013 and led the rendering team toward a successful release of Mafia III. Now he is lead rendering engineer at Hangar 13 Brno, Czech Republic. Mafia III overview Open world, 3rd person, action adventure Story driven, yet not linear Set in 1968 New Bordeaux Released October 2016 PS4, Xbox One, Windows, Mac OS Mafia III is running on custom engine, which is an evolution of engine used in Mafia II. Agenda Motivation Existing solutions Ray casting on GPU Reflection rendering Reflections on rough surfaces Timings, Results, Conclusion Future work Motivation With PBR, reflections are an essential part of material shading Having proper reflections is a major step towards photorealism Not happy with any of the existing solutions Example 1 – with reflections Obvious case – reflection from wet road Example 1 – without reflections Doesn’t even look wet without reflections. Example 2 – with reflections Most of the surfaces are quite rough, reflections still play major role. Example 2 – without reflections Existing solutions Screen-space tracing PROS Doesn’t require content authoring Good performance Low memory cost CONS Only captures what’s on screen Lots of missing information (especially for high roughness) Unstable with movement (camera or dynamic objects) Existing solutions Pre-filtered cube-map look-up PROS Simple to implement Great performance CONS Floating reflections Problems with transitions between CMs Iteration issues (if pre-rendered) Missing dynamic objects Isotropic To achieve anisotropy, we would need to pre-filter the CM with multiple kernel configurations that would make it much less practical.
