ESTABLISHING LITERARY MERIT IN METAL GEAR SOLID 1 Establishing Literary Merit in Metal Gear Solid: A close critical reading

چکیده
Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid, (MGS) is widely recognized by both gamers and industry professionals as one of the most influential games of all time. In this paper we contend that one of the ways in which the literary merit of a game can be explained is through the use of close critical literary readings of the game text together with a discussion of how the yielded interpretations work collectively to raise the level of the work as a whole. In particular, this paper discusses the effective use of long cinematic cutscenes, historical fiction and the incorporation of a discussion of the issue of Nature vs. Nurture within the context of the game to shed some light on how video games have the potential to be studied as significant works of interactive fiction.

متن کاملThe Computational Complexity of Portal and Other 3D Video Games
We classify the computational complexity of the popular video games Portal and Portal 2. We isolate individual mechanics of the game and prove NP-hardness, PSPACE-completeness, or (pseudo)polynomiality depending on the specific game mechanics allowed. One of our proofs generalizes to prove NP-hardness of many other video games such as Half-Life 2, Halo, Doom, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Grand Theft...
متن کاملResearch on Tooth Modification of Spur Bevel Gear
Isometric modification is proposed as a new method of axial modification of spur bevel gear. Based on the gear geometry theory and the normal meshing motion equation of gear pairs, changes of meshing points and angles are analyzed and the effect of axial modification on meshing movement of gear pairs is discussed. After that, a method of drawing spherical involute with the aid of SolidWorks sof...
