The following study is concerned with how immersive experiences are constructed in first-person shooter (FPS) video games through the implementation of “realistic” audio. The attainment of these goals is shown to hinge on the complementary relationship between functionality, context, and performance in game space design. The game space design implications of flow prerequisites are examined against my approach and specific practices are highlighted which promote immersion in both narrative (transformation), and game space (spatial presence). In the second chapter I use Csikszentmihalyi’s notion of flow (Csikszentmihalyi 1991) as an analytical structure for examining the overlap between functionality, context, and performance in providing players with the components necessary for the desirable outcomes of flow. In the first part of the thesis I characterise the interaction model for video games as one in which game conveyance is served by functional, contextual, and performance design and these in turn can be seen in combination as components of design patterns in successful video games. In view of this challenge, I discuss an approach to game space design comprised of three overlapping design concerns - functionality, context, and performance, in order to provide a perspective which encapsulates several conventional theories of player experience.
