Awareness
Video game concept
Any and all tags that help with player's awareness.
See also: awareness distortion
Generally this is for things that the person would be somehow normally aware of but the game can't deliver it in exactly the same way, so it routes it to visual, auditive or some haptic feedback in some manner.
This is a container group; its children are:
Ammo warning | Somehow warns the player when they're low on ammo, either in current magazine or overall. Possibly also suggesting reloading your weapon. | 1999 / 2016 | 20 games |
Damage direction indicator | Has an indicator for from which direction the player character is taking damage from. (too short) | 1998 / 2016 | 77 games |
Full body awareness | First person games where when you look down you see your body (legs, pelvis, torso, etc.) instead of nothing (just hands/arms are not enough). Not including cases limited to scripted sequences, cinematics, or others where player control is limited. | 1984 / 2019 | 116 games |
Grenade warning | Player is given a warning on the HUD of live grenade nearby, possibly with direction indicator and even a timer. | 2008 / 2016 | 50 games |
Health warning | Player is given a warning when they are nearing death due to low health, usually the screen flashing or turning red or other effects. | 1986 / 2018 | 143 games |
Noise indicator | Includes an indicator for how much noise you're making, possibly complemented with inclusion of how much your environment is making noise. | 1999 / 2017 | 20 games |
Visibility indicator | Includes an indicator for how visible you are, usually how well lit. (too short) | 1998 / 2019 | 32 games |
Location information | Current location is somehow identified (such as lobby, elevator, security office) and declared. Possibly with other relevant info also provided. | 1985 / 2023 | 41 games |
Team awareness | Enhances team awareness somehow, such as clearly giving off locations of team mates (other players in the same team) at all times through walls and other obstacles. Possibly on a minimap. | 2002 / 2016 | 47 games |
Wind indicator | Includes an indicator for wind direction and possibly speed. (too short) | 1983 / 2018 | 160 games |
