You'll notice I didn't say the overpriced entry was my opinion. I was simply relaying the thoughts I shared with other delegates -- professionals and students. Admittedly I could see their point when I compared this conference with the last conference I attended, the <a href="http://www.thewanderlust.net/blog/2011/06/18/ampersand-conference-2011/" rel="nofollow">Ampersand web typography conference</a>. It cost £125 for a day and was equally inspiring. That said, you're right, when compared with other big name conferences in London it doesn't fair too badly. On inspiration versus entertainment; maybe it's just me, but having worked in the industry for 15 years I guess I've seen a lot so it's harder to get inspired than a student. For me the unnamed speakers were more entertaining than sharing content directly related to my work as a digital design director. It could also be that I've seen many of them speak elsewhere. If I had have gone to a conference like this during my university days I would no doubt have been inspired by a lot more of the speakers. Would I go next year? Sure, I'm guessing it's going to be even better next year. My only hesitation would be if my £780 would be better spent on an alternative conference, so would do a bit more research before purchasing my ticket.

Credit to 8 speakers, two further reviews, 200 sponsored tickets for students (free for them) and you are still writing about price. H'mmmm. A conference like this has a mid 6 figure budget. We fly speakers in, we put them up and we look after them. They give their time and names for little and no financial reward and to suggest that they entertained over being inspiring leaves me baffled. It takes 10 months to organise TYPO... I could go on. Price is relative. The previous week's Wired Conference was ticketed at +£1,400/entry. UX London has an early bird price that equals our final professional price. I certainly lack the critical distance of a delegate, but hope people will be able to compare and understand that there are many other perspectives on the matter. Wow! 10 points of innovation.

I've started the game and taken a screen shot from it while playing and added to post. It's an improvement but still nothing like the PC version. Not that it's particularly bad, just that it probably needs time for the Internet to mature and compression technology to improve before it can really challenge local hardware.

The games are based on PC versions so it's easy to compare them for that reason. Obviously a high spec PC is much more expensive, so there's going to be a massive difference in the quality of the graphics. The screen shot shown above is intended to compare the two extremes. The 360 and PS3 version look a lot closer to the PC screenshot though. I think the consoles still offer the best 'bang for buck', more so the PS3- especially as you can pick one up for just over £150 now. There are definite advantages of onLive and I was given a console today for free so quite happy using it to leverage those advantages. :) I was comparing the service with my current gaming platforms so think it’s worth while comparing to all, including the PC and Steam?

The approach to these terms in cinema has naturally transferred over to games, due to a lot of the same concepts being used (we have a camera, we can show the player where to look, we can edit the experience).

"Diesis" narrates, whereas "mimesis" demonstrates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diegetic). Therefore, user interface elements that do not exist in the game world are diegetic, whereas those that do exist in the game world are mimetic. But diegetic/mimetic is more of a continuum than a dichotomy. Some games have diegetic elements that are rendered in the style of the game world, making those elements partially mimetic. StarCraft is one example. Does the HUD exist in the world of StarCraft or the player's world? It's somewhere in between, wherever the battle commander is. So the dimensions of the four-quadrant diagram should perhaps be diegetic/mimetic and in-perspective/out-of-perspective. The latter is independent of whether the game is 3D, since 2D "God's eye" games, like Populous, have mimetic elements.

]]> Comment on Games as multi-genre digital content for the web & mobile by Robert Kabwe http://www.thewanderlust.net/blog/2010/03/31/multi-genre-digital-content-for-the-web-mobile/comment-page-1/#comment-646 Robert Kabwe Mon, 19 Apr 2010 21:25:46 +0000 http://www.thewanderlust.net/blog/?p=11427#comment-646 Great assessment.

I see 'games' as just 3d temporal spaces that can simulate an unlimited number of situations - harnessing and heralding the potential via intuitive interface design sounds like a fun challenge for all of us.
