현재 비디오 게임 업계의 최고 관심사는 바로 '온라인 비디오 게임 서비스'이다. 온라인 비디오 게임 서비스에 대한 업계의 높은 관심은 이미 지난 5월 LA에서 열린 최대의 국제게임행사인 E3에서 충분히 예상할 수 있었다. 소니, 마이크로소프트, 닌텐도 등 비디오 게임 3사는 3E 행사를 전후해 콘솔 가격 인하와 함께 온라인 비디오 게임 서비스 계획들을 발표했다. 게임 전문가들은 지금까지 콘솔 판매에 집중해 왔던 비디오 게임 콘솔 제조회사들이 향후 2,3년 동안 콘솔 판매가 아닌 '콘텐츠'와 '온라인 게임 서비스'에 집중할 것으로 전망하고 있다.

Unlike Online Games, Video Games do not require Internet connection. Video Game players have their own game device to play games offline. Yet there are popular online communities based on Video Games that has lots of active, loyal members. The presence of Video Game online community indicates that online community plays an important role in "Game Play" of Video Games. In this research, in order to analyze the impact of online community, Game Play Heuristics were studied. Also, the use and the purpose of Video Game online communities was investigated. Finally, examples of the impact of online community on "Game Play"of Video Games is presented.

In this paper, studied about an effect in motion graphics to make video game contents projects. Using the motion graphics to make video game contents projects was applied with various effects. The effects in motion graphics is divided in two ways that moving effects and a motion image effects. The various effects of motion graphics extremely increases the effects of the video game contents projects. The various effects in the motion graphics, expects to be applied in the video game that can be more developed creative in video arts.

This paper is written to introduce and review Shinji Matsunaga's The Aesthetics of Video Games which published in Japan in 2018. Shinji Matsunaga has studied video games from a philosophical and aesthetic perspective. In The Aesthetics of Video Games, he took video games as a hybrid form of traditional games. Shinji Matsunaga particularly notes that video games can design human behaviors and experiences. From this point of view, he tries to construct a theoretical framework that will be able to describe the ways of signification in games and fiction respectively. In previous studies, video games have been mainly discussed in the context of cultural studies and entertainment culture in Japan. The Aesthetics of Video Games is distinguished from the previous studies in the following points. First, The Aesthetics of Video Games pioneered the method of studying video games in art theory. Second, it established various types of relationships with video games and traditional aesthetic concepts. Third, this book connects new concepts that emerged in the age of artificial intelligence to video games as an aesthetic action. Through this work, not only video games were discussed academically, but also the fields of aesthetics and art were expanded. The Aesthetics of Video Game is like a collection of philosophical concepts for video games. Through this book, it can be said that the path for artificial intelligence to approach human secrets is closer than before.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of force feedback on video gamers' performance with two different types of game controllers, and to verify users' consistency on their perceptions of force feedback effect and their actual performances in video games. 42 qualified players' records on a driving video game were analyzed in this study. This study shows 1) the force feedback effect in video games depends on the type of game controllers, 2) there is inconsistency between gamers' perception on the force feedback effect and their actual performances with the force feedback effect, and 3) emotional pleasure (fun factor) plays a big role in gamers' performances.

In vision-based interfaces for video games, gestures are used as commands of the games instead of pressing down a keyboard or a mouse. In these Interfaces, unintentional movements and continuous gestures have to be permitted to give a user more natural interface. For this problem, this paper proposes a novel gesture spotting method that combines spotting with recognition. It recognizes the meaningful movements concurrently while separating unintentional movements from a given image sequence. We applied our method to the recognition of the upper-body gestures for interfacing between a video game (Quake II) and its user. Experimental results show that the proposed method is on average $93.36\%$ in spotting gestures from continuous gestures, confirming its potential for a gesture-based interface for computer games.

비디오게임에 삽입되는 컷씬(cut-scene)은 배경스토리(back story)의 전달 또는 상황에 대한 연출 장치의 기능을 하나, 플레이어와 게임 간의 조작적 상호작용을 일시적으로 단절시킨다. 본 논문은 비디오게임 '언차티드2'의 26개 스테이지에서 플레이어와 게임의 상호작용을 이어가는 컷씬 '인터랙션 무비'에 대한 플레이어의 행동과 결과를 조사하여 그 기능을 분류하였다.

By integrating of intrinsic motivation theory and flow theory, this study sought to investigate the causal linkage among optimal balance of video game player's perceived skill and challenge, flow experience, intrinsic motivation and video game genre usage. A path analysis showed that the different types of video game usage were directly influenced by players' intrinsic motivations, which were also reinforced by players' flow experiences of enjoyment. However, the path model with a multiple group approach provided no strong evidence for gender differences in the relationships between the variables of interest.

기존의 비디오 게임이나 오락실 게임은 PC상에서 다양한 에뮬레이터 상에서 실행되고 있으며 단일 사용자 게임으로 진행되고 있다. 그러나 통신기술이 발전되고 게임 기술이 발전하면서 많은 부분에 변화가 일어났다. 이러한 변화는 곧 많은 게임 개발자와 게임 개발 회사들의 관심을 단일 사용자 게임에서 다중 사용자 게임으로 옮기게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 비디오 게임을 지원하는 에뮬레이터 게임에 네트워크 모듈을 지원함으로써 네트워크 게임을 할 수 있는 플랫폼을 구성하고자 하며, 서버의 부하를 분산시키기 위하여 분산 로비시스템을 도입한 Peer to peer 방식의 네트워크 게임을 실행 할 수 있는 메카니즘 및 실시간 게임을 위한 동기화 방안을 제안한다.
