| | Game Studies - When Seams Fall Apart - Video Game Space and the Player |
| | Identification by the player with the player's position within the game space obviously functions differently based on the in-game point-of-view (as first-person, third-person and god-view games are perceptually different gaming experiences) and as based on the player's incorporation of the player-character into her imagined integral self. | | | In a video game setting, where the player is the subject and the player-character is the other, the player operates in the game in relation to the player-character and to the game space, not as a fully external controlling agent. | | | This narcissistic acceptance is necessary for the player to enter into the game space as a part of the game space and for the player to traverse the medium of the screen. |
