| Sumario: | This research is about the basic physics in digital games. We presented the process of how it reaches the player, but without holding on in the programming codes or specific software. Our focus was figuring out if the physics that we see in digital games is real or not and how it affects the player, through the analysis of basic physics in games. As there are many games and the Physics field of study is large, we select one game and one physical phenomenon to analyze. The game is called Dead Space 1 and we checked the phenomenon of the gravity. We study how it is present and how it interacts with the player. Is it realistic? How it affects the player? These are questions that we answer in the final considerations. Steve Rabin, Jeannie Novak and Richard Bartle were the main sources of information for research. In them, we find how the physics should be, its importance and how it is inserted in digital games. We seek in Halliday, Newton and astrophysics, since the game is set in space, the definitions of gravity in order to identify it and confirm if it is realistic in the game. Physics analyzed is the basic physics, which is also called naïve, or ingenuous, as it is the understanding of the physical workings of the world acquired by lived experience and observations by humans. The analysis was performed in analytical character by the researcher under a player's perspective, since our purpose is to observe the basic physics and not theories. This proved to be the best option to achieve our goal. Through the semiotic analysis of some Página | 14 scenes, we made the study the phenomenon in the game and finally, we present our conclusion. Research has shown that physical digital games usually looks like reality, but does not have the behave of it. There were also situations where realism was acquired through accurate simulation of physics. The study of gameplay footage suits us as confirmation of what was investigated: physical must seem real to be realistic, but not always need to behave as real phenomenon. The important thing is that the player feel more immersed in a physical realism environment than in an environment in which this factor is not considered |
