| edge magazine shenmue: The Console Mike Diver, 2024-04-18 THE CON50LE is a comprehensive yet conversational account of 50 years of home video gaming history, leaving no rarely sighted system unturned and providing a chronological account of the evolution of the biggest entertainment medium in the world. From the earliest consoles of the 1970s to the cutting-edge machines of the here and now, a line is drawn from one man’s eureka moment to the multi-billion-dollar global industry of today. All the well-known names and massive-selling consoles are here: the Nintendo Entertainment System, the SEGA Mega Drive, the Atari 2600, the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 2. But there’s plenty of room for hardware that many a gamer won’t have heard of before, from Japan-only releases and home computer conversions to ill-advised experiments with VHS and all manner of micro-console magic. Learn about the creators and their inspirations, the games that made the biggest consoles’ eternal reputations, and the failures and flops along the way. Even the consoles that came and went without notable commercial success left a mark, an imprint, on this compelling history – and THE CON50LE unravels it, explains it, one fascinating machine at a time. |
| edge magazine shenmue: The Sega Arcade Revolution Ken Horowitz, 2018-07-06 Long before it took the home video game console market by storm, Sega was already an arcade powerhouse. Parlaying its dominance in coin-operated machines into the home video game boom of the 1980s, the Japan-based company soon expanded with branches in Europe and the U.S., and continues to lead the gaming industry in design and quality. Drawing on interviews with former developers and hundreds of documents, this history follows the rise of Sega, from its electromechanical machines of the mid-1960s to the acquisition of Gremlin Industries to its 2003 merger with Sammy Corporation. Sixty-two of Sega's most popular and groundbreaking games are explored. |

| edge magazine shenmue: Open World Empire Christopher B. Patterson, 2020-04-14 Finalist, 2021 John Hope Franklin Prize, given by the American Studies Association Seeking ways to understand video games beyond their imperial logics, Patterson turns to erotics to re-invigorate the potential passions and pleasures of play Video games vastly outpace all other mediums of entertainment in revenue and in global reach. On the surface, games do not appear ideological, nor are they categorized as national products. Instead, they seem to reflect the open and uncontaminated reputation of information technology. Video games are undeniably imperial products. Their very existence has been conditioned upon the spread of militarized technology, the exploitation of already-existing labor and racial hierarchies in their manufacture, and the utopian promises of digital technology. Like literature and film before it, video games have become the main artistic expression of empire today: the open world empire, formed through the routes of information technology and the violences of drone combat, unending war, and overseas massacres that occur with little scandal or protest. Though often presented as purely technological feats, video games are also artistic projects, and as such, they allow us an understanding of how war and imperial violence proceed under signs of openness, transparency, and digital utopia. But the video game, as Christopher B. Patterson argues, is also an inherently Asian commodity: its hardware is assembled in Asia; its most talented e-sports players are of Asian origin; Nintendo, Sony, and Sega have defined and dominated the genre. Games draw on established discourses of Asia to provide an “Asiatic” space, a playful sphere of racial otherness that straddles notions of the queer, the exotic, the bizarre, and the erotic. Thinking through games like Overwatch, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Shenmue II, and Alien: Isolation, Patterson reads against empire by playing games erotically, as players do—seeing games as Asiatic playthings that afford new passions, pleasures, desires, and attachments. |

| edge magazine shenmue: This Is Not a T-Shirt Bobby Hundreds, 2019-06-25 The story of The Hundreds and the precepts that made it an iconic streetwear brand by Bobby Hundreds himself Streetwear occupies that rarefied space where genuine cool coexists with big business; where a star designer might work concurrently with Nike, a tattoo artist, Louis Vuitton, and a skateboard company. It’s the ubiquitous style of dress comprising hoodies, sneakers, and T-shirts. In the beginning, a few brands defined this style; fewer still survived as streetwear went mainstream. They are the OGs, the “heritage brands.” The Hundreds is one of those persevering companies, and Bobby Hundreds is at the center of it all. The creative force behind the brand, Bobby Kim, a.k.a. Bobby Hundreds, has emerged as a prominent face and voice in streetwear. In telling the story of his formative years, he reminds us that The Hundreds was started by outsiders; and this is truly the story of streetwear culture. In This Is Not a T-Shirt, Bobby Hundreds cements his spot as a champion of an industry he helped create and tells the story of The Hundreds—with anecdotes ranging from his Southern California, punk-DIY-tinged youth to the brand’s explosive success. Both an inspiring memoir and an expert assessment of the history and future of streetwear, this is the tale of Bobby’s commitment to his creative vision and to building a real community. |

| edge magazine shenmue: The Psychology of Zelda Anthony Bean, 2019-02-19 It's dangerous to go alone! Take this (book). For more than 30 years, The Legend of Zelda—which immerses players in a courageous struggle against the shadowy forces of evil in a world of high fantasy—has spanned more than 30 different installments, selling over 75 million copies. Today, it is one of the most beloved video game franchises around the globe. Video game sales as a whole have continued to grow, now raking in twice as much money per year as the entire film industry, and countless psychologists have turned their attention to the effects gaming has on us: our confidence, our identity, and our personal growth. The Psychology of Zelda applies the latest psychological findings, plus insights from classic psychology theory, to Link, Zelda, Hyrule, and the players who choose to wield the Master Sword. In The Psychology of Zelda, psychologists who love the games ask: How do Link's battles in Ocarina of Time against Dark Link, his monstrous doppelganger, mirror the difficulty of confronting our personal demons and the tendency to be our own worst enemies? What lessons about pursuing life's greater meaning can we take away from Link's quests through Hyrule and beyond the stereotypical video game scenario of rescuing a Princess (Zelda)? What do we experience as players when we hear that familiar royal lullaby on the ocarina, Saria's spirited melody in the Lost Woods, or the iconic main theme on the title screen? How do the obstacles throughout Majora's Mask represent the Five Stages of Grief? What can Link's journey to overcome the loss of the fairy Navi teach us about understanding our own grief and depression? Why are we psychologically drawn to the game each and every time a new version becomes available even when they all have a similar storyline? Think you've completed the quest? The Psychology of Zelda gives you new, thrilling dungeons to explore and even more puzzles to solve. |
| edge magazine shenmue: Ludothèque n°4 : Beyond Good & Evil Michaël Guarné, 2017-10-17 Le quatrième opus d'une série unique sur les plus novateurs des jeux vidéos ! Le quatrième numéro de Ludothèque s’intéresse au jeu culte de Michel Ancel et Ubisoft : Beyond Good & Evil. Mélange de genres (action, infiltration, photographie), ce précurseur du monde ouvert a marqué les joueurs par sa variété, son propos et son héroïne, la journaliste Jade. Découvrez l'analyse de ce jeu d'anthologie qui défie toute catégorisation de genre, son histoire ambitieuse, ses personnages originaux et son focus novateur sur la photographie. EXTRAIT Au cours du développement de Rayman 2, Ancel se souvient qu’un bug permettait de voler au dessus de l’océan et de voyager à travers toute la carte du jeu. Lors d’une interview parue sur le site officiel et traduite via le site BGEmyth.net, il précise : « Nous avons alors commencé à imaginer un jeu qui donnerait une réelle sensation de liberté. » Très compliquée, la genèse du titre passe par de multiples phases pendant les quatre ans que dure le développement. Le scénariste Jacques Exertier confirme qu’à l’origine, « Michel Ancel voulait effectivement procurer une impression de liberté d’action dans un univers vaste. Mais rapidement, nous nous sommes rendus compte qu’il fallait mettre en place un ping-pong permanent entre game design et scénario, ce qui impliquait de nombreuses réécritures ». « Si on se marre en faisant le jeu, c’est forcément bon signe ! », déclarait Ancel durant le développement du premier Rayman au cours de l’été 1994. Pas sûr qu’il puisse ressortir cette phrase à nouveau au cours de la mise en chantier de BGE tant les obstacles à sa création se succèdent rapidement. Il faut rappeler que quasiment la moitié du staff préfère abandonner le projet, effrayé par sa grandeur. Il est toujours ardu d’imaginer un jeu complet alors qu’il n’existe qu’au stade de prototype, et la vision du créateur n’est pas forcément facile à transmettre avec des mots pour que les membres de l’équipe comprennent dans quelle direction aller. Dans sa biographie écrite par Daniel Ichbiah, Michel Ancel confesse : « C’était assez dur à encaisser sur le plan personnel car il y avait parmi eux un grand nombre de gens que j’avais embauchés et formés. Mais avec le recul, je peux comprendre qu’ils n’aient pas bien appréhendé le projet. J’avais ma part de responsabilité. Lorsqu’on n’a jamais réalisé un tel jeu, il est difficile de comprendre où il commence et où il se termine. » À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Michaël Guarné pousse son premier cri en 1982, l'année de la sortie de la bobine Blade Runner mais aussi du tube Billy Jean. Depuis, il se passionne pour la musique en tapant sur des fûts, mais également pour l'écriture sur le jeu vidéo. On le retrouve occasionnellement sur le site Gamekult.com ainsi que via diverses publications d'éditeurs spécialisés comme Pix'n Love et, bien entendu, Third Éditions. |

| edge magazine shenmue: La saga Yakuza Victor Moisan, 2020-08-13 Ce livre vous propose une immersion dans le Japon d'hier et d'aujourd'hui à travers une étude de la saga Yakuza. La série de jeux vidéo Yakuza ne représente pas seulement la licence la plus vigoureuse de SEGA aujourdʼhui. Cette saga, qui court depuis 2005 en suivant un rythme de sortie quasi annuel, donne à voir lʼexemple rare dʼun jeu vidéo parfaitement intégré aux rouages dʼune industrie de masse et dans le même temps soucieux de développer un commentaire singulier et insatiable sur la société dont il sʼinspire. Lʼauteur vous présentera ainsi les origines des jeux Yakuza au fil dʼenquêtes, de témoignages et de recherches poussées. Seront aussi évoqués lʼhistoire de SEGA et le parcours de Toshihiro Nagoshi, créateur de la saga. Le concept original de la série sera à son tour détaillé : de sa volonté dʼêtre une réaction à GTA autant quʼun désir ambitieux dʼoffrir une plongée réaliste dans le quartier de Kabukicho et le monde de la pègre japonaise. Chaque épisode sera ensuite analysé : une étude au cas par cas des sept volets « canoniques », agrémentée dʼanecdotes et de portraits de personnalités importantes de lʼhistoire des jeux (scénaristes, acteurs, etc.). Découvrez l'histoire de la série de jeux vidéo Yakuza, enrichie d'analyses, de témoignages, d'enquêtes et de recherches poussées. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Parti vivre au Japon en 2013 après avoir longtemps travaillé dans le cinéma, Victor Moisan écrit sur les films, le jeu vidéo, et se livre parfois à d'autres expériences.

| edge magazine shenmue: Lost in a Good Game Pete Etchells, 2019-04-04 'Etchells writes eloquently ... A heartfelt defence of a demonised pastime' The Times 'Once in an age, a piece of culture comes along that feels like it was specifically created for you, the beats and words and ideas are there because it is your life the creator is describing. Lost In A Good Game is exactly that. It will touch your heart and mind. And even if Bowser, Chun-li or Q-Bert weren't crucial parts of your youth, this is a flawless victory for everyone' Adam Rutherford When Pete Etchells was 14, his father died from motor neurone disease. In order to cope, he immersed himself in a virtual world - first as an escape, but later to try to understand what had happened. Etchells is now a researcher into the psychological effects of video games, and was co-author on a recent paper explaining why WHO plans to classify 'game addiction' as a danger to public health are based on bad science and (he thinks) are a bad idea. In this, his first book, he journeys through the history and development of video games - from Turing's chess machine to mass multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft- via scientific study, to investigate the highs and lows of playing and get to the bottom of our relationship with games - why we do it, and what they really mean to us. At the same time, Lost in a Good Game is a very unusual memoir of a writer coming to terms with his grief via virtual worlds, as he tries to work out what area of popular culture we should classify games (a relatively new technology) under. |

| edge magazine shenmue: Digital Content Creation Rae Earnshaw, John Vince, 2012-12-06 The very word digital has acquired a status that far exceeds its humble dictionary definition. Even the prefix digital, when associ ated with familiar sectors such as radio, television, photography and telecommunications, has reinvented these industries, and provided a unique opportunity to refresh them with new start-up companies, equipment, personnel, training and working practices - all of which are vital to modern national and international economies. The last century was a period in which new media stimulated new job opportunities, and in many cases created totally new sectors: video competed with film, CDs transformed LPs, and computer graphics threatened traditional graphic design sectors. Today, even the need for a physical medium is in question. The virtual digital domain allows the capture, processing, transmission, storage, retrieval and display of text, images, audio and animation without familiar materials such as paper, celluloid, magnetic tape and plastic. But moving from these media to the digital domain intro duces all sorts of problems, such as the conversion of analog archives, multimedia databases, content-based retrieval and the design of new content that exploits the benefits offered by digital systems. It is this issue of digital content creation that we address in this book. Authors from around the world were invited to comment on different aspects of digital content creation, and their contributions form the 23 chapters of this volume. |
