  • La Evolución De La Narrativa En El Videojuego Trabajo Final De Grado
    La evolución de la narrativa en el videojuego Trabajo final de grado Curso 2018/2019 Javier M. García González Beneharo Mesa Peña Grado en Periodismo Profesor tutor: Dr. Benigno León Felipe Facultad de Ciencias Sociales y de la Comunicación Trabajo final de grado RESUMEN En este trabajo se pretende mostrar los mecanismos y funcionamientos narrativos dentro de la industria lúdica del videojuego, comentando los primeros títulos que fueron creados y la posterior evolución de la narración de sus historias. Asimismo, se analizarán las particularidades entre las mecánicas del videojuego y cómo estas se ajustan a la narrativa a cada género, señalando cuáles son los más populares, cuáles incurren más en disonancias, juegos de autor, así como aquellos títulos que han sentado precedentes a la hora de crear historias en los videojuegos. Como conclusión final, se tratará de mostrar las particularidades y complejidades de un medio que, si bien es menos longevo que el cine, música o la literatura, genera más beneficio que los anteriores en su conjunto. Por otro lado, aunque en sus inicios el videojuego tuviera unos objetivos más limitados, a lo largo de su evolución se ha acercado al lenguaje literario y cinematográfico, creando así una retroalimentación entre estas tres modalidades artísticas. PALABRAS CLAVE Videojuego, narrativa, ludonarrativa, software, interactividad, transmedia, arte, literatura, cine. ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to show the narrative mechanisms and functions within the video game industry, commenting on the first titles that were created and the subsequent evolution of storytelling. Also, It will analyze the particularities between the mechanics of the game and how they fit the narrative to each genre, indicating which are the most popular, which incur more dissonance, author games, as well as those titles that set precedents to create stories in video games.

  • Best Ps4 Download Games 2018 10 Best PS4 Games of 2018
    best ps4 download games 2018 10 Best PS4 Games of 2018. 2018 saw the PlayStation 4 (PS4) go from strength to strength. Despite the renewed competition from Nintendo and with Microsoft coming up with the Xbox One X, Sony’s console proved once again why it has been the undisputed leader of this generation. While earlier years saw quite a few remarkable games on the system, 2018 in particular witnessed a slew of breathtaking gaming experiences that transcended the console itself. From a Greek god in Norse lands to a mature superhero giving his all in the Big Apple, the PS4 established a new standard for the exclusives it houses. As with the other year-end best games of lists, preference in rank has been given to the exclusives, even if a third-party game has been arguably better. Interestingly, the list contains just two such games, the rest being exclusives, a testament to Sony’s commitment to the console five years down the line. Before we begin the list, a special mention has to be given to ‘Shadow of the Colossus’ which saw its PS4 remake this year. Bluepoint Games retained the feel of the PS2 classic while vastly improving the graphics and controls, making it a technical marvel, and more importantly, a sheer joy to play. Without further ado, here is the list of top PS4 games of 2018: 10. Tetris Effect (2018) If one was asked about classic games, ‘Tetris’ would be at the top of the list. The iconic game of matching tiles got a new lease of life this year with ‘Tetris Effect.’ Developers Monstars Inc.

(30/10/2020) Sercan Doğan ARISOY iii FOREWORD This study does not focus on one particular literary work. Instead, it focuses on various works of multiple art styles on a surface level in order to evaluate how much artistic work goes into video games. Throughout the study, various works of art will be compared to video games in order to establish the idea that video games are products of art. Therefore, they are worthy of recognition as such.

  • Quando Il Complotto Incontra Il Videogame
    Quando il complotto incontra il videogame Se siete frequentatori abituali del web, sarete sicuramente incappati nelle numerose teorie“ del complotto” che infestano la rete in ogni argomento, dalla musica (dove danno per morto aPaul McCartney) alla scienza (vedi la teoria del finto allunaggio) alla fantapolitica dell’11 settembre alle teorie su Cicada 3301. I videogame non potevano non essere un campo fervido per i complottisti di tutto il mondo, e qui di seguito raccogliamo, fra più e meno note, le ipotesi cospirazioniste più interessanti: Polybius: il videogame che non esiste Videogame sviluppato nel 1981 da Sinneslöschen, presunta software house tedesca, i suoi cabinati spuntarono dal nulla e furono presenti in molte sale giochi diPortland . Questo videogame, apparentemente innocuo, avrebbe provocato casi di allucinazioni, follia e amnesie varie, il suo gameplay si presenterebbe come una sorta diSpace Invaders, con forme geometriche tridimensionali dinamiche che ipnotizzavano il giocatore; a intervalli regolari faceva la comparsa inoltre trasparenza un messaggio subliminale che recitava “Suicide Yourself”. Dopo appena un mese dalla sua uscita, e una serie di casi sospetti,Polybius sarebbe scomparso da tutte le sale giochi, e i cabinati sarebbero stati sequestrati da misteriosi “men in black”. Molti sono i dubbi sull’esistenza di un simile gioco maledetto, creato dalla Central Intelligence Agency per condurre un esperimento sul controllo mentale, ma è certo che di recente il visionario Jeff Minter ne ha fatto una realtà, realizzandone una versione in VR, ripresa perfino dai Nine Inch Nails per il videoclip di Less Than. Lavandonia Chiunque abbia mai giocato a qualsiasi titolo della serie Pokémon sarà sicuramente a conoscenza di Lavandonia, piccola città all’interno del gioco.

  • God of War Al Contrario,God Of
    La prima volta di Yoshida su God of War L’ultima fatica di Santa Monica Studio non ha certo bisogno di presentazioni: sfondata la soglia delle 5 milioni di unità vendute in un mese, acclamato da critica e pubblico, per molti potrebbe persino essere uno dei giochi migliori di questo decennio; insomma, quei cinque lunghi anni di sviluppo sono davvero valsi la candela. Anni che però non sono stati tutti rose e fiori: quando si stava ancora lavorando a una prima versione funzionante, ha raccontato Cory Barlog (creative director del gioco) durante il Devcom di Colonia, il team di sviluppo stava costruendo l’engine e gli strumenti di base, le meccaniche, i livelli, tutto contemporaneamente, e il risultato non stava piacendo né a lui, né a loro. Durante una sessione di testing uno dei partecipanti minacciò persino di abbandonare il progetto, perché a detta suasi stava rovinando il personaggio di Kratos. Una reazione simile, stavolta da parte del pubblico, si ebbe durante l’E3 del 2016, quando quel trailer lasciò dubbiosi molti fan della serie riguardo a cosa l’ormai ex dio della guerra stesse diventando. Nemmeno il presidente di Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida rimase soddisfatto da ciò che vide, quando per la prima volta provò il gioco. Da quando prese il controller in mano a quando andò via dalla stanza non proferì parola, ma da come scuoteva la testa e alzava le spalle, era evidente che ciò che vedeva non gli stava piacendo. Il suo giudizio fu noto solo qualche giorno dopo, mentre parlava con un amico di Barlog.

    JULY 2018 ISSUE 7 TITI MAGAZINE EDITOR TITI MAGAZINE Dickson Max Prince PUBLISHERS PUCUTITI.Inc CONTRIBUTORS Anita .T. Dickson Efenudu Ejiro Michael Bekesu Anthony Dickson Max Prince For more info [email protected] +2348134428331 CLA 4-door Coupe Copyright © PUCUTITI.Inc God of War is an action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertain- ment (SIE). Released on April 20, 2018, for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) console, it is the eighth installment in the God of War series, the eighth chronologically, and the sequel to 2010's God of War III. Unlike previous games, which were loosely based on Greek my- thology, this game is loosely based on Norse mythology. The main protagonists are Kratos, the former Greek God of War, and his young son Atreus. Following the death of Kratos' second wife and Atreus' mother, they journey to fulfill her promise and spread her ashes at the highest peak of the nine realms. Kratos keeps his troubled past a secret from Atreus, who is unaware of his divine nature. Along their journey, they encounter monsters and gods of the Norse world. Described by creative director Cory Barlog as a reimagining of the franchise, a major gameplay change is that Kratos prominently uses a magical battle axeinstead of his signature double-chained blades. God of War also uses an over-the-shoulder free camera, with the game in one shot, as opposed to the fixedcinematic camera of the previous entries. The game includes role-playing video game elements, and Kratos' son Atreus provides assistance in combat.

As 2015 kicks in, are we thinking hard about all of the great games we didn’t get around to playing in 2014, vowing to try them now that release schedules have calmed down? Or are we fixated instead on the new PS4 games from Sony’s PlayStation Experience? Is it too soon to be thinking about what may be at GDC? Is it out of order to even consider E3’s lineup in June? With regulars such as Time Extend, we make an organised effort to consider the past, and our recent replay of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves provided a timely primer for this issue’s cover story. In E275, we focused on the considerable strengths of Nathan Drake’s best adventure to date, but playing it again, five years on from its release, also reveals a number of cracks we simply didn’t notice the first time around. What once felt so slickly executed now seems weirdly clunky in places.

  • God of War: Vita E Morte Di Un Deicida
    God of War: Vita e Morte di un Deicida L‘ira incontrollabile, la sete di vendetta e il sacrificio, sono tre delle innumerevoli sfaccettature di Kratos, la personificazione della potenza e della rabbia, protagonista di una delle saghe che è entrata con prepotenza nell’Olimpo dei videogiochi. In questo articolo ripercorreremo le vicende del “fu” Dio della Guerra, dai concept sino all’imminente God of War su PlayStation 4. Attenzione a possibili spoiler. Sviluppato da Sony Santa Monica, God of War ebbe una gestazione particolare e il cui successo fu del tutto inaspettato. God of War non fu il primo progetto di Santa Monica: tutto iniziò con un gioco meno ambizioso ma capace di dare i primi asset ed esperienza al team che avrebbe realizzato il noto titolo d’ambientazione mitologia, Kinetica. Fu proprio uno degli sviluppatori diKinetica , David Jaffe, a divenire capo del nuovo team che, ispirandosi a titoli comeIco e Devil May Cry volle portare sulla nuova console Sony qualcosa che non si era mai visto e dal tono epico. Due aspetti erano fondamentali: il contesto e il protagonista. L’ambientazione scelta fu quella della antica Grecia, con quell’immancabile epica che permetteva di prendere innumerevoli spunti sia dal punto vista dei nemici, della trama e delle sezioni platform. Se questa fu relativamente semplice, la scelta del protagonista non lo fu altrettanto: il team di sviluppo era deciso a creare un personaggio originale, carismatico e brutale ma lontano dagli stilemi dell’epica classica. Furono passati in rassegna diversi modelli, come soldati con maschere ma abbastanza anonimi, guerrieri dalla spiccata vena africana fino a un personaggio che portava sulle spalle un bimbo o un cane, ma anche qui nulla di fatto, grazie a Zeus.
