How Can Video Games Be Used to Study the Past?
Video games can be used to study the past in a number of ways. They can be used to create realistic simulations of past environments and events, allowing researchers to test hypotheses and explore different scenarios. They can also be used to create interactive experiences that allow players to learn about the past in a more engaging way.
For example, the game Assassin's Creed Origins allows players to explore a recreation of ancient Egypt. The game is based on extensive research, and it provides players with a realistic and immersive experience of what life was like in this ancient civilization. Players can explore the pyramids, temples, and other iconic landmarks of Egypt, and they can interact with historical figures such as Cleopatra and Julius Caesar.
How Can the Past Be Used to Inform Game Design?
The past can be used to inform game design in a number of ways. Historical events and settings can provide inspiration for new games, and archaeological research can help to create more accurate and realistic game worlds. For example, the game Civilization VI includes a number of historical civilizations that players can choose to play as. Each civilization has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, and players must use their knowledge of history to make strategic decisions.
Archaeological research can also help to create more realistic and immersive game worlds. For example, the game Red Dead Redemption 2 is set in the American West in the late 1800s. The game's developers consulted with historians and archaeologists to create a realistic and authentic world for players to explore.
An to Archaeology in and of Video Games provides a comprehensive overview of the field, exploring the ways that games can be used to study the past and how the past can be used to inform game design. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of archaeology and video games.
