Abstract:

Purpose – This two-part study aims to expose the challenges and establish the necessity of preserving digital content, with a focus on console video games. Design/methodology/approach – Through a method of establishing the history of video game consoles, identifying the challenges presented by the format and addressing the current preservation efforts, this article serves as a brief retrospective of the issues and a guide to extending the conversation. Findings – Representing a unique format, heavily reliant on advances in technological and industrial standards, console video games have experienced a demonstrated lack of preservation. Originality/value – With special attention to the non-gamer, this is an introduction to the conversation and an invitation to lend expertise to not only an often overlooked area of popular culture, which is facing (and in some cases, has experienced) irretrievable loss of information, but also to other formats facing adjustment to the digital, always-online environment.

Abstract:

Interactive fiction and video games are part of our cultural heritage. As original systems cease to work because of hardware and media failures, methods to preserve obsolete video games for future generations have to be developed. The public interest in early video games is high, as exhibitions, regular magazines on the topic and newspaper articles demonstrate. Moreover, games considered to be classic are rereleased for new generations of gaming hardware. However, with the rapid development of new computer systems, the way games look and are played changes constantly. When trying to preserve console video games one faces problems of classified development documentation, legal aspects and extracting the contents from original media like cartridges with special hardware. Furthermore, special controllers and non-digital items are used to extend the gaming experience making it difficult to preserve the look and feel of console video games.This paper discusses strategies for the digital preservation of console video games. After a short overview of console video game systems, there follows an introduction to digital preservation and related work in common strategies for digital preservation and preserving interactive art. Then different preservation strategies are described with a specific focus on emulation. Finally a case study on console video game preservation is shown which uses the Planets preservation planning approach for evaluating preservation strategies in a documented decision-making process. Experiments are carried out to compare different emulators as well as other approaches, first for a single console video game system, then for different console systems of the same era and finally for systems of all eras. Comparison and discussion of results show that, while emulation works very well in principle for early console video games, various problems exist for the general use as a digital preservation alternative. We show what future work has to be done to tackle these problems.

Abstract:

This report investigates the importance of creating a realistic environment in order to create an immersive world in digital games. The discussion will start from the history of Digital game development until now, discussing on the limitations of gaming consoles from time to time, and how game designers nowadays keep pushing the boundaries of the visual aspects of their game. Then focusing the discussion on the technical and art aspect of digital game design. By doing the analysis in this report, we can conclude that there are several reason that affects the visual quality of video games, such as the technology of the game console, the limitation of game engine, and also the skill of the game artist itself. Key words : Video Games, Digital Games, Game Console, Environment, Game Engine.

Abstract:

This study sought to quantify the energy expenditure and physical activity associated with playing the “new generation” active and nonactive console-based video games in 21 children ages 10–14 years. Energy expenditure (kcal) derived from oxygen consumption (VO2) was continuously assessed while children played nonactive and active console video games. Physical activity was assessed continuously using the Actigraph accelerometer. Significant (p < .001) increases from baseline were found for energy expenditure (129–400%), heart rate (43–84%), and activity counts (122–1,288 versus 0–23) when playing the active console video games. Playing active console video games over short periods of time is similar in intensity to light to moderate traditional physical activities such as walking, skipping, and jogging.

Abstract:

Many platform strategies focus on indirect network effects between sellers through platform expansion. In this paper, we show sellers on the console video game platform generate a positive intertemporal spillover effect and expand the demand for other sellers, holding the set of platform adopters fixed. We propose a novel identification strategy that leverages exogenous variation in the release timing of games exclusively available on a console platform, and examine how this variation affects the sales of games available on both platforms. We find a sizable intertemporal demand spillover effect between games: A 1% increase in total copies sold on a platform leads to a 0.153% increase in the sales of other games in the next month (i.e., an elasticity of 0.153). Additional analysis suggests this demand spillover effect is reminiscent of habit formation on the consumer side, in that past purchases keep end users active on the platform. Our finding provides a potential explanation for recent platform sales events and subscription services that provide free games to consumers every month.

Abstract:

AbstractAs an example of how the archaeology of modern/contemporary media can be conducted, we examine the technology behind artifacts with cultural relevance in modern society: video games. In particular, we look at two game artifacts from the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16, a game console produced from 1987–1994. A 1× CD-ROM drive could be added on to the console, with a corresponding increase in the amount of data a game could access, and some games took advantage of this capability to include full-motion video (FMV). This digital excavation report details the FMV formats of two such games along with the methodology used to reverse engineer the formats and verify the correctness of the analysis.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the three campaigns Greenpeace has made towards the video game console producing companies, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. Using a qualitative approach I investigate how communication from an environmental organization may affect companies and what challenges Greenpeace face when they develop campaigns in relation to companies. Even though the industry is quickly expanding, almost no one had ever discussed video game consoles in relation to the environment. The situation changed when Greenpeace included Microsoft and Nintendo in their 6th edition of the “Guide to Greener Electronics”. In this guide companies in the consumer electronic industry were ranked based on their environmental communication and Microsoft and Nintendo received a very low score. Greenpeace was critiqued for the way their guide was carried out. The “Clash of the Consoles” campaign was an internet video summarizing the critics towards the game console producing companies from “Guide to Greener Electronics”. The campaign “Playing Dirty” investigated chemicals in the consoles and concluded that the companies followed legislation on regulated chemicals, but on unregulated chemicals high levels was fond in some cases. Greenpeace is usually known for using a direct approach with striking images in their campaigns. But in these cases no striking images have been used which makes it harder for them to gain sympathy for their campaigns. The concept of CSR which is socially constructed has great importance for environmental communication. However CSR has a large number of different interpretations. As shown in the thesis Greenpeace and the three companies focus on different aspects of CSR.

A pesquisa investiga as relações entre drama e jogo nos video games desenvolvidos para consoles domésticos, analisando a maneira que o desenvolvimento tecnológico impacta no uso de procedimentos dramatúrgicos em tais jogos. O pesquisador adotou uma metodologia calcada em pesquisa bibliográfica de caráter interdisciplinar e no estudo analítico de jogos, considerando a implicação de aspectos subjetivos e a experiência do autor como gamer e levando em conta as especificidades do mercado e da indústria brasileira. A primeira etapa da pesquisa bibliográfica concentrou-se em referenciais acerca do drama, recorrendo a autores da filosofia, teoria da literatura e, sobretudo, das artes cênicas para delimitar o uso de tal termo na presente dissertação além de levantar ferramentas de análise da teoria do drama para aplicá-las ao estudo de video games. Em seguida, realizou-se um estudo acerca da ideia de jogo, a fim de delimitar também esta noção e reconhecer seus aspectos formais, visto que, o presente trabalho compreende os video games, em primeiro lugar, como jogos e leva em consideração suas idiossincrasias enquanto tal. Posteriormente, consultou-se bibliografia acerca dos video games, na qual estão inseridas obras teóricas, historiográficas, revistas e reportagens destinadas ao público gamer e referências mais abrangentes sobre o meio digital. O cruzamento dos dados levantados na pesquisa bibliográfica com as informações subjetivas relacionadas à trajetória do pesquisador enquanto jogador estabeleceu os critérios para a seleção dos jogos analisados. O pesquisador jogou todos os games mencionados na dissertação e/ou assistiu a ação de outros jogadores através de vídeos disponibilizados na internet e, a partir de tal experiência, elencou uma série de procedimentos dramatúrgicos utilizados pelos desenvolvedores de video games ao longo das sete gerações de consoles, estas definidas pela crítica especializada, observando o impacto do desenvolvimento tecnológico na relação entre o drama e o jogo. Por fim, os dados coletados na análise dos jogos são cruzados com os resultados de uma discussão teórica acerca da delimitação da noção de drama e sobre os aspectos formais da Dramática. Com viés sincrônico-diacrônico, a presente dissertação contribui com a produção historiográfica e reflexiva sobre a dramaturgia para video games, esta ainda escassa no meio acadêmico. Oferece, assim, um repertório de estratégias a serem utilizadas, recicladas e/ou reelaboradas por dramaturgos ou game designers. E apresenta ainda como resultado a perspectiva de compreensão dos video games enquanto interfaces entre drama e jogo, sem desconsiderar as idiossincrasias do meio digital.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 121-125).
Several generations of video game consoles have competed in the market since 1972. Overall, the entire market shares many similar characteristics, such as network effects and switching cost, which are found in other network-based markets. However, on closer examination, the video game console industry experienced several generations of technological change with each generation bringing a different competitive environment and different set of competitors from the previous one. Consistent with the Schumpeterian market model, both new and later entrants have competed successfully with their strong portfolios of technological innovations. Yet, some firms with dominant market position and strong complementary assets were not able to extend their advantage to the next generation. The dynamic cause and effect relationships associated with the multi-generation video game console industry makes an intriguing subject for economic research. This thesis provides a conceptual framework for analyzing the elements and dynamics of the competitive video game console market. Using qualitative findings and empirical data found in recent research literature on market competition and innovation, a historical analysis of the video game console market was performed. In addition, a system dynamics model was created to validate and support the analysis of the industry. The results from the simulation of the model under various competitive scenarios not only confirm some of the findings from established studies done in this area but also provide us with new qualitative insights into the dynamics operating in the market.

Abstract:

Chapter 2 explores the history of regional lockout in console video games. As video games became popular throughout Japan and North America in the 1980s, the industry forged a system of carefully managed adaptation and distribution of games to each market. Game companies introduced region chips and differently shaped cartridges to ensure that consumers were using games on approved devices, and they eventually adopted a region code format similar to the DVD. The industry’s longtime use of regional lockout helped set the contours of global distribution, but it also fomented a network of piracy, game and console hacking, and informal trade among consumers who typify the “hardcore” gamer. Knowing how to navigate and circumvent regional lockout became a marker of participation in hardcore gamer communities. Chapter 2 thus argues that regional lockout did more than simply control global video game distribution paths. It also helped shape the contours of hardcore gamer culture.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the home console dispositive of the SONY Playstation in relation to digital games. The concept of the “dispositive” functions as a basis for the conceptualization of video games as an actor-network or a socio-technical arrangement respectively. This allows for an analysis and a description of various actors and their reciprocal relationships as well as the mutual process of fabrication of these actors in such video game networks. The historical development of the SONY Playstation system will serve as the primary example for these heterogenuous ensembles, whereby the main focus will be placed on one single-player game series, Grand Theft Auto, and one multiplayer game series, the soccer simulations of the FIFA series.

Abstract:

Over the last three decades and, above all, during the last few years, advances in areas that have been crucial for the success of the now multi-billion-dollar computer and video game industry (in particular, those of graphics and gameplay complexity) have been nothing short of breathtaking. Present-day console games run on machines offering quite remarkable possibilities to game developers. Their stylish presentation and compelling interactivity continue to set exceedingly high standards to which many serious applications running on desktop computers can only aspire. In spite of their adolescent image, games (particularly, console games) have continually raised general computer-user expectations.

Abstract:

Abstract A widely held belief among design practitioners is that an ideal design solution is the one that meets all the requirements while minimizing surplus cost incurred by exceeding requirements. In this research, we challenge this notion by exploring if providing design “excess”, the ability of a solution to exceed certain requirements, can increase the value of a solution to its end users. A case study is performed in the video game industry to explore if design excess is prevalent and its impact on the industry. This study is performed by examining various PC builds (budget, mid-range, and high-end dream) and gaming consoles (Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation) over an 18-year period. Based on a thorough investigation of video game requirements and capacity of different hardware, we find that design excess has existed in computer hardware and is intentionally used as a design property. The results indicate that mid-range solution provide the greatest value to its customers. Further, PC excess based value is adjusted during years when consoles are released. Using measurements of excess, this study also reveals a shift in technology push versus pull that occurs during the mid-2000s and is observable through the lens of system excess.

Abstract:

Abstract A widely held belief in engineering design is that the optimal design is the one that satisfies all requirements at the lowest cost. Recent research has begun challenging this notion by arguing that a system’s total lifetime value may be improved by designing for uncertain future requirements, even after considering additional incurred costs. Excess, the purposeful inclusion of margin beyond what is required for known uncertainties, is the method used in this work for addressing uncertain future requirements. This paper provides evidence that excess can make a system more robust (insensitive to changing requirements) and thereby increase its value. This evidence is drawn from the study from the video game industry data including: console and desktop hardware performance specifications with release dates, video game requirements, and contemporaneous expert suggested gaming desktops over a span of 20 years — from 2001 to mid-2019. Additionally, this paper advances the notion of strategic excess (excess added to a single component) by examining its potential impact on historical systems. The study of strategic excess provides guidance for how one might baseline the appropriate degree of excess inclusion based on technology and requirements trends. The analysis conducted in this paper shows that higher degrees of excess in desktops can increase overall system value, that strategic excess in RAM would have improved system performance by 14% (on average) for 7% of total system cost, and that trends in technology improvement can be used for baselining excess inclusion by suggesting specific performance tiers for CPUs and GPUs.
