Abstract
Video games have evolved tremendously since the days when Pong, Tetris and Pac-Man ruled the store shelves. Since then, a lot of things have changed in the digital world. Video games have become a medium with the potential for creating complex narratives, dialogue and believable characters. This paper will deal with the notion of orality, what we considered orality to be, how and in what ways it is conveyed in the world of video games. Since we are talking about a hybrid medium, one that combines oral and written cultures, we cannot be talking about 'primary orality' as Walter Ong puts it, but secondary orality. However, video games do employ elements from primary orality, such as a sense of community, an agonistic tone or a pure sonic experience. Except for using more traditional means of oral expression, video games also integrate one unique form of communication, and that is procedural dialogue. This term will be used to describe an action that involves input from the user and feedback from the computer system. It is a unique kind of dialogue that underlines video-game orality and it will be demonstrated and examined in detail.
Abstract (croatian)
Video igre su znatno evoluirale otkada su policama trgovina vladale igre poput Ponga, Tetrisa i Pac-Man. Od tada, mnogo se stvari promijenilo u digitalnom svijetu. Video igre su postale medij s potencijalom za stvaranje kompleksnih priča, dijaloga i složenih likova. Ovaj diplomski rad će se izričito baviti pojmom oralnosti, što sve možemo svrstati pod oralnost, kako i na koje načine se ostvaruje u video igrama. Kako govorimo o hibridnom mediju, onaj koji kombinira print i kulturu oralnosti, ne možemo baš govoriti o ' primarnoj oralnosti,' kako bi Walter Ong to rekao , nego sekundarnoj oralnosti. Međutim, video igre upotrebljavaju elemente iz primarne oralnosti kao što je osjećaj zajedništva, agonistički ton ili čisto sonično iskustvo. Osim korištenja tradicionalnijih načina oralnog izražavanja, video igre integriraju jedan veoma jedinstven način komuniciranja, a to je proceduralni dijalog. Ovaj pojam se koristiti za akciju koja uključuje unos od strane korisnika i povratnu informaciju od strane kompjuterskog sistema. Ovo je jedinstvena vrsta dijaloga koja daje podlogu oralnosti i te koja će biti demonstrirana i istražena detaljnije.
