  • 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.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. PC-Based Aviation Training Devices for Pilot Training in Visual Flight Rules Procedures; Development, Validation and Effectiveness A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Aviation at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Savern Reweti 2014 Abstract Flying is a difficult and complex activity that requires a significant level of attention from the pilot as well as a lengthy training period to gain sufficient competency. For issues of both cost and safety, flight simulation has been an integral part of flight training from its earliest beginnings. There have been a number of technological developments and improvements in both the level of fidelity and the training effectiveness of flight simulators. As a result, flight simulators in use today are the result of this technological, psychological, and engineering evolution. Indeed, simulator cockpits can now accurately replicate all of the functions of flight controls and instrumentation found in real aircraft. Furthermore, the development of high- resolution display systems utilising computer-generated imagery (CGI), means that flight simulators can now display very realistic terrain and environmental effects. The high cost of modern full motion flight simulators (FFSs) has meant that their use has generally been restricted to commercial airlines, military forces, and government agencies. More recently, rapid advances and decreasing costs in PC-based computer technology has enabled flight-training organisations to conduct more training with less expensive fixed-base flight training devices (FTDs).

Yesterday’s marvel is tomorrow’s museum piece. The same applies to games, although it is not just the core game technology that continues to develop at breakneck speed. The human machine interfaces we use to interact with games are becoming more sophisticated and at the same time, easier to use. The Wii Balance Board™ and the MotionPlus™, Microsoft’s Project Natal and Sony’s PlayStation® Eye are all reinventing how we interact with games, and in turn this is playing part in a greater shift.

  • Non-Determinism in the Narrative Structure of Video Games
    Non-Determinism in the Narrative Structure of Video Games Marcello Arnaldo Picucci Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics Newcastle University July 2015 Abstract At the present time, computer games represent a finite interactive system. Even in their more experimental forms, the number of possible interactions between player and NPCs (non-player characters) and among NPCs and the game world has a finite number and is led by a deterministic system in which events can therefore be predicted. This implies that the story itself, seen as the series of events that will unfold during gameplay, is a closed system that can be predicted a priori. This study looks beyond this limitation, and identifies the elements needed for the emergence of a non-finite, emergent narrative structure. Two major contributions are offered through this research. The first contribution comes in the form of a clear categorization of the narrative structures embracing all video game production since the inception of the medium. In order to look for ways to generate a non-deterministic narrative in games, it is necessary to first gain a clear understanding of the current narrative structures implemented and how their impact on users’ experiencing of the story. While many studies have observed the storytelling aspect, no attempt has been made to systematically distinguish among the different ways designers decide how stories are told in games. The second contribution is guided by the following research question: Is it possible to incorporate non-determinism into the narrative structure of computer games? The hypothesis offered is that non-determinism can be incorporated by means of nonlinear dynamical systems in general and Cellular Automata in particular.

Maja 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract 3 Introduction 4 Method and Gameplay 15 Female Violence 23 Male Violence 48 Works Cited 52 Maja 3 ABSTRACT This thesis is an analysis of the video games Life is Strange and Before the Storm and how they serve to reflect social expectations and norms placed upon both women and men even today. 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.

Algumas interfaces consistem em adaptações das encontradas no formato tradicional de monitor bidimensional, sendo que outras são experiências desenhadas de raiz para Realidade Virtual. No entanto, atravessamos um período de experimentação, um momento em que o jogador usufrui de experiências de jogo por vezes instáveis, por vezes irregulares ou inadequadas, em parte devido à falta de estudos nesta área. Com isto em conta, emerge a possibilidade de estudar esta área que ainda se encontra em constante mutação e num estado de experimentação devido à infância deste meio tecnológico.
