RELEASE NOTES
[Product Information]
The move to 3D graphics represents a dramatic artistic and
technical development in the history of video games that suggests
an overall transformation of games as media. The experience of
space has become a key element of how we understand games and how
we play them. In Video Game Spaces, Michael Nitsche investigates
what this shift means for video game design and analysis.
Navigable 3D spaces allow us to crawl, jump, fly, or even teleport
through fictional worlds that come to life in our imagination. We
encounter these spaces through a combination of perception and
interaction. Drawing on concepts from literary studies,
architecture, and cinema, Nitsche argues that game spaces can evoke
narratives because the player is interpreting them in order to
engage with them. Consequently, Nitsche approaches game spaces not
as pure visual spectacles but as meaningful virtual locations. His
argument investigates what structures are at work in these
locations, proceeds to an in-depth analysis of the audiovisual
presentation of game worlds, and ultimately explores how we use and
comprehend their functionality. Nitsche introduces five
analytical layers--rule-based space, mediated space, fictional
space, play space, and social space--and uses them in the analyses
of games that range from early classics to recent titles. He
revisits current topics in game research, including narrative,
rules, and play, from this new perspective. Video Game Spaces
provides a range of necessary arguments and tools for media
scholars, designers, and game researchers with an interest in 3D
game worlds and the new challenges they pose.
