Welcome This Week Brought to you by Every week: The UK games market in less than ten minutes Issue 5: 7th - 13th July WELCOME ...to GamesRetail.biz, your weekly look at the key analysis, news and data sources for the retail sector, brought to you by GamesIndustry.biz and Eurogamer.net. THIS WEEK ...we look at how to measure the impact of press coverage on a game's popularity, and what kind of activity is most effective. Plus - all the latest news, as well as highlights of an interview on Heavy Rain... not to mention charts, most-anticipated and downloadable stats as well. JUST HOW DOES COVERAGE IMPACT POPULARITY? The Impact of E3 2009 on Selected Titles #1 The art of PRing videogames has evolved well E3 online now - mostly - but how do different types of activity impact a game's popularity? #10 Here we can see a selection of four titles and their relative popularity though the month of June on Eurogamer.net - in particular the impact that an event like E3 can have on generating buzz around games. Diving in with #100 more detail, the second graph picks out the Eurogamer.net Popularity (Ranked) notable jumps in interest. Although the Eurogamer.net gamespace for Forza 3 existed the previous day, at point A we see the official #1000 Jul announcement of the game's existence with a Jun '09 FIFA 10 Alan Wake Forza Motorsport 3 Gran Turismo PSP news story, along with the first screens. But it's the first hands-on of the game at point B that produces the game's highest peak - and Impact of Coverage on Title Popularity B that's the same for GT PSP as well, propelling #1 E3 the latter title all the way to become most popular game on Eurogamer.net. Point C is C E interesting, as that spike is a news story relating to them both, while point D was another news #10 D item on Forza 3 detailing the game's tracks and A F modes. Probably the most telling point on the graph, #100 however, is Point E - a batch of GT PSP Eurogamer.net Popularity (Ranked) screens showing the user interface and menus for the first time ever, and evidence of the latent interest in the title. Finally point F #1000 relates to new screens for Forza, but just more Jul Jun '09 car shots - arguably less interesting than the Forza Motorsport 3 Gran Turismo PSP detailed GT shots from a few days previously. Tickets for Eurogamer Expo 2009 are now on sale at expo.eurogamer.net.

THE BIG INTERVIEW: CATCHING THE RAIN Quantic Dream's Guillaume de Fondaumiere spoke to GamesIndustry.biz recently - here are the key things he said: - Heavy Rain will release in early 2010, with no delays expected, to avoid pre-Christmas rush. - Quantic Dream's structure has doubled to cope with next-gen development. - The company used over 500 man-hours of outsourcing - and was pleased with the results. - Heavy Rain will have a longer lifespan than other games, because it has no competition. - The developer-publisher relationship is maturing - plus plenty of praise for Sony's attitude.

  • Meaningful Choice As Expression of Creativity in Gameplay
    Meaningful Choice as Expression of Creativity in Gameplay A Preliminary Typology of Creative Gameplay in Videogames Abstract Gamification guru Yu-Kai Chou positions creativity as the ultimate motivational drive as it both addresses intrinsic motivation as well as positive emotions. Creativity and play have long been linked together and, despite many attempts to grasp them, have maintained elusive concept because their expressions have an enormous variety. Yet, creative gameplay has rarely been analyzed as a whole, research often lingering on a single variant of it, mostly tangible player production in videogames. This thesis offers a framework based on Chou’s concept of meaningful choices for identifying varieties of creative gameplay and offers a preliminary typology of creative gameplay in videogames.

  • Becoming Human? Ableism and Control in <Em>Detroit: Become
    Human-Machine Communication Volume 2, 2021 https://doi.org/10.30658/hmc.2.7 Becoming Human? Ableism and Control in Detroit: Become Human and the Implications for Human- Machine Communication Marco Dehnert1 and Rebecca B. Leach1 1 The Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA Abstract In human-machine communication (HMC), machines are communicative subjects in the creation of meaning. The Computers are Social Actors and constructivist approaches to HMC postulate that humans communicate with machines as if they were people. From this perspective, communication is understood as heavily scripted where humans mind- lessly apply human-to-human scripts in HMC. We argue that a critical approach to com- munication scripts reveals how humans may rely on ableism as a means of sense-making in their relationships with machines. Using the choose-your-own-adventure game Detroit: Become Human as a case study, we demonstrate (a) how ableist communication scripts ren- der machines as both less-than-human and superhuman and (b) how such scripts manifest in control and cyborg anxiety. We conclude with theoretical and design implications for rescripting ableist communication scripts. Keywords: human-machine communication, ableism, control, cyborg anxiety, Computers are Social Actors (CASA) Introduction Human-Machine Communication (HMC) refers to both a new area of research and concept within communication, defined as “the creation of meaning among humans and machines” (Guzman, 2018, p. 1; Fortunati & Edwards, 2020).

  • Game Developer Index 2010 Foreword
    SWEDISH GAME INDUSTRY’S REPORTS 2011 Game Developer Index 2010 Foreword It’s hard to imagine an industry where change is so rapid as in the games industry. Just a few years ago massive online games like World of Warcraft dominated, then came the breakthrough for party games like Singstar and Guitar Hero. Three years ago, Nintendo turned the gaming world upside-down with the Wii and motion controls, and shortly thereafter came the Facebook games and Farmville which garnered over 100 million users. Today, apps for both the iPhone and Android dominate the evolution. Technology, business models, game design and marketing changing almost every year, and above all the public seem to quickly embrace and follow all these trends. Where will tomorrow’s earnings come from? How can one make even better games for the new platforms? How will the relationship between creator and audience change? These and many other issues are discussed intensively at conferences, forums and in specialist press. Swedish success isn’t lacking in the new channels, with Minecraft’s unprecedented success or Battlefield Heroes to name two examples.
