The Biopolitics of the Colossus
First author: GümanYear: 2022
Abstract
The dynamics of creating a narrative for videogames vary mostly due to the commercial needs of the videogame market. Many of the games that have similar repetitive dynamics dependent upon various hype mechanisms such as fan service are intended to keep the gamer population under the brand. There are but a few narrative videogames that try to be as original as they can, creating their own audience by introducing their own rules to the market. The objective of this paper is to question if a narrative of a videogame can define its own ludological aspects and in doing so what makes an interactive story a contemporary art piece beyond any commercial success by bringing the two worlds together. Literature review method has been used for this manuscript to gather supportive references for the discourse. After collecting enough info on the research subject, the videogame called Shadow of the Colossus (Team Ico, Bluepoint Games, Japan Studio. 2018) has been chosen as a sample.Details
