  • Life Is Strange 2: Tutti I Dettagli
    Life is Strange 2: tutti i dettagli Non è semplice sviluppare un gioco che possa legare emotivamente giocatore e protagonista, ma Dontnod ce l’ha fatta. Con Life is Strange ha creato un mondo del tutto nuovo, con personaggi comuni sotto alcuni punti di vista, ma unici nel complesso. Già dal primo episodio, pubblicato il 30 gennaio 2015, la critica e soprattutto i giocatori, di tutte le età, hanno elogiato il titolo, tanto da permettere a Square Enix di pubblicare altri due giochi: Life is Strange: Before The Storm e, un solo episodio di The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, un assaggio di quel ci aspetterà in Life is Strange 2. Proprio quest’ultimo è stato il protagonista di un trailer e un video gameplay pubblicato prima dell’apertura al pubblico di una delle fiere più importanti d’Europa: la Gamescom di Colonia. Dontnod ha, sin dal primo capitolo della saga, creato e sviluppato dei personaggi semplici, con vite comuni, dei soggetti mai stereotipati, in modo che ogni giocatore, indipendentemente dall’età, possa immergersi, possa identificarsi in uno dei personaggi. I problemi che affliggono i protagonisti sono di vita quotidiana nell’adolescenza: amori non corrisposti, litigi e incomprensioni con i genitori, amicizie che finiscono e altre che cominciano, bullismo, droga e molto altro. Dontnod, con Chloe e Max è riuscita a fare tutto ciò: due ragazzine che si affacciano al mondo “adulto”, due semplici adolescenti, che con la loro naturalezza hanno stregato milioni di giocatori. Questa volta, però, i protagonisti saranno due ragazzi e la storia sarà ambientata non più ad Arcadia Bay, ma a Seattle.

  • PER MUDARRAGARRIDO TFG.Pdf
    LOS VIDEOJUEGOS COMO HERRAMIENTA DE COMUNICACIÓN, EDUCACIÓN Y SALUD MENTAL RESUMEN Desde su sencillo origen en 1958 con Tennis For Two y su consiguiente auge en los años 80, ​ la industria del videojuego se ha ido reinventando para hacer de la experiencia del jugador algo totalmente único. Es más que evidente la gran trascendencia de los videojuegos en nuestra sociedad actual, llegando a ser una de las industrias con más ganancias en los últimos años y una de las que más consigue mantener fieles a sus seguidores, debido a todas sus capacidades y aspectos beneficiosos más allá del entretenimiento. Por todo ello, entendemos que, si los videojuegos son un medio tan consolidado y con tanta trascendencia social en el ámbito del ocio, también pueden llegar a tener aplicaciones en otros ámbitos o disciplinas. Esta cuestión es la que va a ser tratada en nuestra investigación, exponiendo como objetivos el llegar a conocer las distintas aplicaciones de los videojuegos en otros ámbitos, debido a sus posibles aspectos beneficiosos (sin dejar de tener en cuenta los perjudiciales) y analizando el cómo son vistos a través de los ojos de una sociedad crítica. Para realizar la investigación nos hemos apoyado en juegos como Life is Strange, Gris o Celeste, así como en ​ ​ entrevistas y encuestas realizadas a una sección de la población. La principal conclusión que podemos sacar de la investigación es que: aunque el uso de los videojuegos no es una metodología muy acogida por los profesionales de la psicología, tiene un gran efecto positivo entre las personas que padecen algún tipo de trastorno psicológico o que ha sufrido acoso.

Cultural studies recently accepted video games as a form of media to study, especially with the prevalence and accessibility of video games in various platforms. Violence in video games is culturally associated with men and the male audience; my analysis focuses on violence in the hands of women. By analyzing the choices I made as a player and how these games present their narratives and characters, I conclude that these video games, which are thus a reflection of society, still hold both women and men to a traditionalist standard.

  • Sven Dwulecki, ''I Am Thou… Thou Art I…''—How Persona 4'S Young Adult
    “I am thou… Thou art I…”—How Persona 4’s Young Adult Fiction Communicates Japanese Values Sven Dwulecki Abstract Life is Strange, INSIDE, Oxenfree—all these video games represent a seem- ingly entirely new genre. Young Adult videogames diverge from the male, gloomy grown-up stereotypes and replace them with adolescent protago- nists in their coming of age stories. Their commercial success seem to val- idate their endeavors. However, YA narratives are hidden in plain sights for many years within JRPGs. Shin Megami Tensei – Persona 4 (short Persona 4 or P4) is a cultural ambassador. This paper examines how the game’s pro- cedural rhetoric in combination with its Young Adult story advocate in fa- vor of specific Japanese values. The time structure of P4 reinforces a long- term orientation and requires strategic planning as well as tactical flexibil- ity. So-called “Social Links” represents Japan unique take on collectivism. Each link encapsulates a small YA narrative and offers different benefits to social-active protagonist. Finally, grinding mechanics reflect the notion of repetition-based learning. Japanese schools teach through engaging with developing several solutions to a singular problem. The same holds true for the grinding process. All these elements combined create a game rhet- oric promoting these aspects of Japanese culture. Sven Dwulecki is a PhD candidate at the University of Tübingen and former market researcher at Crytek; his research is focused on the rhetoric of video games and their influence upon consumers; in his field of expertise he combines business and digital rhetoric with a focus on marketing strategy, innovation, and the role of entertainment industry.

Sukupuoli- ja seksuaalivähemmistöjen kehityskertomusten tutkimus on verrattain olematonta. The Game Awards (TGA) -peligaala ja Games for Change (G4C) -järjestö ovat kuitenkin jo vuosien ajan antaneet tunnustusta useille indie- ja AA-peleille niiden tavoista lähestyä aihetta. Ottaen huomioon palkintogaalojen tuoman näkyvyyden voittajapelejä on syytä tarkastella lähemmin. Tutkielma pyrkii vakiinnuttamaan uudenlaisia narratiiveja tuottamalla tietoa vaihtoehtoisista esitys- ja kerrontatavoista. Tutkielma tarkastelee sukupuoli- ja seksuaalivähemmistöjä käsitteleviä kehityskertomuksia videopeleissä, joille on vuosien varrella myönnetty jompikumpi seuraavista palkinnoista: Games for Impact (TGA) tai Most Significant Impact (G4C).
