As the question of how this implementation can affect the play experience of videogames is still largely un- answered, this study aims to investigate current companion apps and in turn discuss how to make the inclusion of smart devices in video games meaningful. This has been done by considering the Introduction 2 game and app constellations as parts of one, distributed game in- terface with the aim of creating guidelines for their design. Three games were chosen for the study: Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag, Research question 3 Grand Theft Auto 5 and Battlefield 4. Theory 4 The study has been conducted with an offset in theories con- cerning play as an activity in an enacted experience, types of play Methodology 10 and games, player immersion, affordance, goal-directed design, models for comprehension, game interfaces, distributed user Existing Companion Apps 13 interfaces and the importance of context. This has served as a background for analysing the three games and their “Compan- ion Apps” as distributed game interfaces.

Du Mutisme Au Dialogue
École Nationale Supérieure Louis Lumière Promotion Son 2015 Du mutisme au dialogue Les interactions vocales dans le jeu vidéo Partie pratique : v0x Mémoire de fin d'étude Rédacteur : Charles MEYER Directeur interne: Thierry CODUYS Directrice externe : Isabelle BALLET Rapporteur : Claude GAZEAU Année universitaire 2014-2015 Mémoire soutenu le 15 juin 2015 Remerciements : Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement mes deux directeurs de mémoire pour leur implication, leur confiance et leur exigence. Je remercie tout particulièrement Nicolas GIDON, sans qui la réalisation de la partie pratique de ce mémoire aurait été plus chronophage et complexe.. Je remercie et salue Nicolas FOURNIER et Baptiste PALACIN, dont les travaux et la gentillesse ont été une source d'inspiration et de détermination. Je remercie également ma mère, ma tante, Jordy, Julien et Julien (n'en déplaise à Julien), Timothée et mes amis pour leur soutien indéfectible. Merci à madame VALOUR, monsieur COLLET, monsieur FARBRÈGES ainsi qu'à leurs élèves. Enfin, merci à From Software et à NetherRealm Studios pour leur jeux, qui auront été un défouloir bienvenu. Page 2 Résumé Ce mémoire de master a pour objet d'étude les interactions vocales dans le jeu vidéo. Cependant, il ne se limite pas à une étude historique de l'évolution de la vocalité au sein des jeux vidéo mais en propose une formalisation théorique autour de trois concepts essentiels : Mécanique, Narration et Immersion. De ces trois concepts découlent trois types de voix : les voix système, les voix narratives (linéaires et non- linéaires) et les voix d'ambiance. Dans le prolongement de cette étude et en s'appuyant sur les travaux menés dans le cadre des parties expérimentale et pratique de ce mémoire, ayant abouti à la réalisation d'un jeu vidéo basé sur l'analyse spectrale de la voix du joueur, v0x, nous proposons une extension de cette théorie de la vocalité vidéo-ludique afin d'intégrer l'inclusion de la voix du joueur au sein de ce cadre d'étude.

The game features professional skaters such as Danny Way and PJ Ladd, as well as a reactive city and relevant in-game cameras that capture and deliver the most authentic skateboard videogame experience to date. "Our game offers a skate mecca for both skaters and gamers in search of the definitive authentic skating video game experience," said Scott Blackwood, executive producer, EA Black Box. "We're focused on capturing the actual feeling of skating with the innovative control system, the physics driven animations, and the intelligent cameras working together to really deliver the closest thing to being on a board."
