Death & Computer Games
By Sarah Dobbs in Editorial
Posted in Utterly strange, Gaming on
There’s an article in the Technology Guardian today discussing whether or not death is a necessary part of playing computer games.
Which is quite an interesting discussion in and of itself. Considering there’s almost always the option to continue anyway (albeit usually from a save point earlier in the game) what is the point in having characters die in computer games? It’s not like most of them don’t already have superhuman abilities anyway.
The article did remind me, though, that I wish someone would do that in a film adaptation of a computer game. There’ve been enough of them, but so far, not one has featured a character dying and starting the level again. I honestly would love to see this. I think it’d be great! And probably the most computer game-like thing possible, after Doom’s ridiculously fun first person shooter sequence.
I thought it might happen in Silent Hill, when the typewriter turned up, but no such luck. Maybe one day.
