Der Rückblick auf die Games des Vorjahres

Welche PC-Spiele kamen 2020 heraus?

PCGH bietet eine stetig erweiterte Liste mit PC-Spielen an, die für 2020 angekündigt wurden oder die voraussichtlich in diesen Jahren auch erscheinen. Natürlich ist die Qualität der Aussagen einer solchen Liste zu Jahresbeginn schlechter als im Laufe des Jahres, weshalb die Roadmap mit den Spiele-Neuerscheinungen durchaus mit Vorsicht zu genießen ist, speziell für die Titel 2021. Nicht alle Release-Termine der PC Spiele 2020/2021 können eingehalten werden, manchmal ergeben sich auch kurzfristig Terminänderungen. Wir bitten, dies zu berücksichtigen.

Bisher finden Sie in unserer Liste über 40 Games für 2020, die einen festen Termin haben und die durchaus Potenzial für die Top 10 der besten PC-Spiele 2020 haben — exemplarisch genannt seien Cyberpunk 2077 oder Resident Evil 3 Remake. Dazu kommen über 50 Spiele, die voraussichtlich 2020 oder 2021 kommen. Diese Anzahl an Neuheiten wächst in den kommenden Wochen und Monaten deutlich an, wenn zum Beispiel Spielemessen wie die (in diesem Jahr digitale) Gamescom 2020 oder die E3-Ersatzveranstaltungen im Sommer stattgefunden haben. Natürlich wächst die Liste auch durch weitere Neuankündigungen, durch Releaseverschiebungen von Spielen und durch Ihre Meldungen — denn wir können auf keinen Fall den Anspruch erheben, über alle Spiele im kommenden Jahr Bescheid zu wissen.

Spiele 2020: Release-Termine der Neuerscheinungen in der Übersicht

Alle Spiele-Releases im Überblick: Hier finden Sie die aktuelle Fassung der Release-Liste aller PC-Spiele, die aktuell für 2020 oder später angekündigt wurden oder zumindest eine gewisse Chance haben, im aktuellen oder kommenden Jahr zu erscheinen. Generelle Hinweise: Die rot markierten Einträge dokumentieren normalerweise Änderungen, ganz neue Spiele sind entsprechend gekennzeichnet. Grün markierte PC Games wurden bereits veröffentlicht. Unterschieden wird zwischen Early Access und finalem Release.

Über die Seite Spiele-Release.de

Mit meiner Seite Spiele-Release.de habe ich zwei meiner größten Leidenschaften kombiniert und ein Herzensprojekt realisiert. Als passionierter Gamer und nebenberuflicher Webentwickler lag es auf der Hand, eine solche Spiele-Webseite umzusetzen. So konnte ich ein Projekt, ganz nach meinen Vorstellungen umsetzen, um die Spiele Releases übersichtlich anzuzeigen, damit du dein neues Spiel leichter finden kannst.

Die Weiterentwicklung der Seite stellt für mich dabei einen äußerst wichtigen Punkt dar. Seit ich dieses Projekt im Jahr 2017 gestartet habe, sind immer wieder Verbesserungen und Überarbeitungen dazu gekommen. Mir war es dabei wichtig, eine Internetpräsenz zu erschaffen, welche alle nötigen Informationen für kommende Spiele so kompakt und pointiert wie möglich für meine Besucher bereitstellt. Wichtig war mir von Anfang an, dass Gamer aller Art mit nur wenigen Klicks die nötigen Informationen der Spiele Neuerscheinungen erhalten.

Seit dem Start habe ich viel Zeit und Mühe in diese Website gesteckt, was ich natürlich auch heute noch gerne tue. Mir liegt es am Herzen, Gamern aller Art eine Plattform zu bieten, wo sie alle nötigen Informationen für neue Videospiele und allen Themen rundherum erhalten. Wenn du mehr Informationen über mich und diese Seite lesen möchtest, dann findest du hier weitere Informationen: Über Spiele-Release.de

Benefits of computer games: what can video games teach us?

The popularity of computer games is growing every day, children and adults spend more and more time playing this activity, which makes us think about how to use gambling for good — first of all, for learning

According to Knowable Magazine, certain types of video games can improve brain function when performing a narrow set of tasks. A number of studies have also shown their effectiveness in mastering a second language, learning mathematics and science. This is potentially good news for pupils and students, and for the millions of people who love to play or can’t stop doing it.

The last phenomenon, by the way, is a long-standing cause for concern for parents, doctors and teachers. More than half of Russians (58%) believe that video games do more harm than good (according to VTsIOM data as of August 15, 2019years), while noting the negative impact on the psyche and manifestations of aggressive behavior. Also, 54% of citizens have a bad attitude towards the passion for games of relatives.

According to various estimates, there are more than 2.3 billion gamers in the world (as of 2018), and two years ago the World Health Organization finally decided to include online and video game addiction in the list of diseases (ICD-11 will enter into force from 2022).

People (and not only young people) spend a lot of time playing games, and this is a fact in connection with which the task arises to turn this hobby into something more productive than mere entertainment and venting of negative emotions.

Early research on the effects of games on improving brain function

Initially, the evidence that this is possible was obtained on the basis of testing shooters. That much-criticized «shooter games» can be useful was noted by student Sean Green, who studied psychology at the University of Rochester. He gave the visual attention test to his friends, who showed amazing results. At first, Greene and his supervisor Daphne Bavelier chalked it up to some kind of mistake, because when Bavelier herself was tested, her result was normal. The difference between the participants in the experiment was that all of Green’s friends devoted more than 10 hours a week to playing the Team Fortress Classic shooter.

Green and Bavelier then conducted another experiment, dividing a group of «gaming beginners» into two teams. The first one spent one hour a day playing the shooter for 10 days, the second spent the same amount of time playing the Tetris spatial puzzle.

Tests showed that the participants in the first group were better at focusing on objects of interest against a visually loaded background, and were also able to simultaneously track up to five moving objects. During other studies, it became known that «Tetris», in turn, improves the ability to spatial thinking and visual representation of two-dimensional objects.

Bavelier, now a cognitive researcher at the University of Geneva, notes that action gamers are better at navigating between divided attention (the ability of the brain to respond to stimuli at the same time) and focused attention (the ability to focus on the target stimulus). “It’s called attentional control, the ability to switch flexibly as needed,” she says. Switching between tasks is also facilitated by playing All You Can ET, a special cognitive simulator in which players must provide certain food and drinks to aliens in a timely manner.

Pitfalls in introducing games into the learning process

Green, now a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, notes that games can help train professionals whose jobs involve increased visual attention, such as surgeons, law enforcement, or the military. The latter, by the way, is confirmed even at a very high level. “The ability to quickly absorb information, react and coordinate actions, while remaining calm under pressure, is often a sign of people who play well,” a spokesman for the British Air Force told the BBC.

But at the same time, Green also acknowledges that the real-life benefits of playing hours of conventional Call of Duty may be limited: if time for video games crowds out time for other tasks, other skills may suffer over time.

It is also important that the results obtained in the experiments are very specific and valid only within the framework of the task: that is, «shooters» do not improve spatial thinking, as in the case of «Tetris», but, on the contrary, it does not improve visual attention. In turn, the educator and psychologist Richard Mayer even states that, having researched this topic for a long time, he did not find convincing evidence that the so-called brain training games really helped to significantly improve memory, attention, or decision-making speed.

Economics of education

Another controversial issue: how to use (and whether to use) video games in the classroom? In it, researchers also disagree: for example, according to Bavelier, brain-enhancing computer games can be integrated into school classes to add a “honey spoon” to complex subjects and boring programs. Although «shooters» probably won’t work for this: of course, they can hardly be offered to elementary school students.

“It could be a game where the doctor has to choose the right medicine to save the world. But it should not be associated with death, violence or zombies, ”she said. But the professor also wonders if children can transfer the cognitive skills learned from games to other, more real situations.

Sean Green, in turn, notes the complexity and high cost of creating games. High-quality, effective and compelling games can cost as much as the creation of a blockbuster, the psychologist noted.

Maximum involvement is the advantage of games to be exploited

Still, the prospects for introducing video games into the classroom are encouraging, despite the lack of research into any advantages of this teaching method over existing ones. Even if we assume that “brain trainers” are overrated, we cannot dismiss the fact that games are really highly addictive and involve in the process.

“The most important feature of games is their motivational power,” Mayer says. “And we want to use it.” Brain scientists, educators and game developers need to work more closely together to create immersive games that help sharpen cognitive skills and have fun. As Bavelier adds, a child’s brain is capable of remembering hundreds of Pokémon and their abilities. Imagine if they would start studying the stars in the sky with the same enthusiasm!

Writer Greg Toppo, in his book The Game Believes in You: How Digital Play Can Make Our Kids Smarter, agrees that games can help improve student engagement, bring lessons to life, and also allow them to be adapted according to the needs of each particular class. Games can also be used to reward students for consistent practice, perseverance, and out-of-the-box solutions.

In addition, games can help improve soft skills. “There are a lot of soft skills that gamers can use in their professional lives, such as teamwork, problem solving and strategic planning,” said Ryan Gardner, regional director of Hays Recruitment. True, if you play games without thinking about the skills that you can learn from them and then use them, it is unlikely that you will be able to use your hobby to improve your career prospects in the future.

Computer games and eSports education: first steps in Russia

At the moment, online and video games are offered to be used (or, more rarely, already used) as part of training sessions and as independent lessons. So, in June 2019, the Russian Ministry of Education proposed to introduce computer games and mobile applications as teaching aids in schools and colleges over a five-year period.

In the summer, there were also ideas about singling out separate classes for eSports and other games. In August, experts from the ANO Internet Development Institute (IRI) advised including Dota 2, Hearthstone, Dota Underlords, FIFA 19 in electives for schoolchildren, World of Tanks, Minecraft and CodinGame. The selection criteria were popularity, updates of games, their compliance with domestic eSports requirements, and age marking 14+. In addition, the selected games, according to IRI experts, should develop the students’ skills in team play, strategic thinking, logic and reaction speed, as well as reveal their creative potential. The Ministry of Education rejected the idea to include such subjects in the school curriculum: according to the department, they can lead to overwork of students. Instead, schools were asked to introduce esports lessons at their discretion.

How to make money on e-sports

Meanwhile, interest in e-sports in the world is only growing. The global market in 2018 reached $775 billion, and, according to the PwC report, its revenue will increase by an average of 18.3% every year. 22 million people watched esports broadcasts in Russia, which put our country in third place in the world in this indicator.

Not too long ago, the idea that you could make a living playing games seemed unrealistic. Now, some players are able to financially support their family and see this as a good career opportunity.

Athletes’ incomes range from $2,000 to $15,000. In addition to team salaries, a solid amount of money can be brought to a gamer by prizes for winning tournaments, donations (voluntary donations from viewers) on streams (online broadcasts of what is happening on a computer or console) , sponsor support, and advertising.

At the same time, it is not so easy for Russians to become an e-sports player now: this educational area is just beginning to gain momentum, while in the EU, the USA and some Scandinavian countries, such educational institutions have been functioning for a long time. You can learn with the help of online services that teach gaming skills, online courses, cyber-schools, several university programs (such are, in particular, the HSE and the Russian State University of Physical Culture, Sports, Youth and Tourism). There is also an esports faculty at Synergy University. In general, the FCC of the Russian Federation, founded in 2000, is responsible for the massive development of e-sports in Russia.

According to Elena Avdeeva, director of the first Moscow school with classes in mind sports, the skills acquired through computer games will help a child in any profession. “Moreover, esports and new technologies open the way to the professions of the future: smart home architect, drone operator, esports journalist, cyber trainer, vulnerability finder, virtual reality artist, neural network developer, esports athlete, and so on,” she noted earlier in conversation with «Evening Moscow».

However, with the introduction of new esports areas and the introduction of video games in the classroom, a number of difficult tasks arise: firstly, the idea of how to teach new disciplines and effectively use gaming opportunities in the classroom has not yet been fully formed. Secondly, it is not entirely clear how to minimize the risks associated with a long stay at the computer: these are problems with vision, overweight, posture, social, offline interaction, and possible computer addiction.
