lberto Bertolazzi, Nicolò Mulas Marcello, Jonathan T. Hine (English Translation)
From Oxo (1952) to Plague, the prophetic title pre-pandemic, the history of video games revolves around the concept of gaming experience. The enhancement of immersion, from arcade cabinets to the total engagement of VR headsets, has gone hand in hand with the increasing computing power required to handle ever more realistic movement fluidity and scenarios, with the portability and subsequent miniaturization of consoles, with the tactile performance of controllers, with the improvement of storytelling, and the spread of online multiplayer.
Every milestone, every success – but also every failure – has brought gaming into the lives of millions of people, building a billion-dollar business but above all a cultural, social, and educational phenomenon that, in its finest expressions, is worthy of being considered the Eighth Art.
