Steven Spielberg has crossed over from movie making to making videogames, reported the Guardian. A prominent figure in the entertainment industry, Spielberg also exerts great influence in shaping public opinion and fascination. For the gamer community, he is a major acquisition and a sign that videogames are gaining growing popularity in the midst of some long-standing nagging issues about its perceived negative impact.Another welcoming news is the NPD group's commentary on Entertainment Trends In America Report that highlights more Americans play videogames than go out to the movie. These new developments makes my research even more critical. I foresee videogames will be popular, using James Gee's term, "cultivating agents" in mediating public opinion. The folk theory is that suggestive themes in videogame mediates how players "read" and what they take away from playing. In the context of MMOG, players don't play the game according to how designers design it and there are a bunch of other factors at play that impact game play. So, the notion of the folk theory is contentious and my research seeks to establish what the truth is.

I just hope he doesn't make a game out of Shindler's List!!
ReplyDeleteHi Gidyean
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. Schindler's List is my favourite Spielberg's epic film but I don't think I like to play it as a videogame : )
Cinematic narrative is possible in film because of the absence of interactivity but in videogames, it will be difficult for the very reason that players mediate the outcome of narrative through their actions.
Repetitions is another bane for narrative, but an important feature in games. What worries me is that we probably see more torture and innocent killing if Schindler's List ever be turned in a videogame. :/
I feel the whole world is looking forward to see what kind of videogames Steven Spielberg can come up with. And whether success formula that have worked best for him in movie-making will serve him well too in making videogames.
Anyway, I wish you a blessed day today.
Take care and keep safe, always.
Cheers, SL
