| oapen.abstract.otherlanguage | Encountering history in video games is part of everyday life for people around the world. Medieval castles, battlefields of the world wars, and ancient temples populated by knights, pharaohs, and gladiators feature in titles such as “Assassin’s Creed”, “Anno”, and “Kingdom Come: Deliverance”. Given their diversity and popularity, the question arises as to how players perceive and influence these worlds. What fascinates them about history in video games? When is a representation considered successful or unsuccessful? Is the medium merely entertainment or serious historical culture? Are gamers—as some fear—filled like empty vessels with digital images of history, or do they engage with them individually and reflectively? To find answers, Tom Pinsker conducted 86 interviews with people from various educational and professional groups in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The interviewees describe what a “game with history” means to them, when it seems “authentic,” and how they classify the medium in comparison to classroom instruction or nonfiction books. It is particularly important to them that history can be experienced – whether as a soldier in the trenches, as Cleopatra VII, or as a revolutionary in the streets of Paris in 1789. The focus is always on immersion in historical game worlds. | |
