2010년대 비디오 게임에서 나타는 서사와 플레이의 결합 방식 연구 - AAA급 게임의 심리스(Seamless) 스타일을 중심으로

Abstract

The study examines how the media and cultural content experience we have had in the past is diversified through the changing game genres of the Digital Transformation era. First of all, the review of the text highlights that the most recent games, albeit somewhat rough, are trying to step up into new configurations that would disrupt even the definition of traditional gameness, with technological advances and genre changes as a medium. To examine these changes, the classic framework was rather applied, dividing the game into traditional play areas and narrative areas and looking at the aspects of the combination advancing. This aspect could also be divided into two parts. First, we talked about the aspects of open world games, which took a compromising step around the 〈Death Stranding〉 and 〈Grand Theft Auto V〉, and then also looked at Seamless-style games that tried to get more advanced and radical synchronization through 〈Got of War〉 and 〈Red Dead Remediation 2〉. The games, which wanted to harmonize the tempo between game play and narrative progress with trade-offs, sought the development of traditional initiatives. But it is still true that the medium risks failing because of the tempo adjustment between narrative and play time. On the other hand, games pursued through psychology style rather than through mediums and trade-offs are more radical. New configurations and completeness were shown, especially by directing the game's composition to a single dimension. But the radical synchronization at this time is reaching a more theoretical question: what is the 'gameness' we will enjoy in the future? This study has not carried out a theoretical study of gaming itself, only to examine the current patterns of change and to suggest some issues about it. Of course, it is difficult to specify the outcome that is expected to be a standard for the future at this point. Nevertheless, it seems clear that the process of reconfiguring certain media and genre standards in the new era of Digital Transformation will inevitably require redefining the conventional 'game'.
