Chapters 17 & 18
I think that it is stupid that some writers think of video games as just applying to consoles that are played via the TV. Most video games that come out for consoles also come out for use on the computer as well. And on top of that, many and most video games that come out now use a connection to the internet to play against others online, so if anything video games are more like computer games. I think that the player control of the character in the game is very important. I personally think that this should include the ability to control the view of the character. I like to either be able to see the full body of the character or be able to see through the eyes of the character in first person, but the author of the book barely even touches on this subject.

hi robert. very strong feelings you have here about being 'politically correct' with what encompasses video gaming. i like it. =)
ReplyDeleteas to your closing query, the nancy drew and 11th hour games utilize first person POV, so the player enacts the main character without seeing any physical representation of "themselves" (although i think the 11th hour moves within both praxis).
