列举电子游戏中的小女孩角色及特点

近年来,成功的电子游戏越来越强调剧情和体验,而不是单纯的玩法。为了拔动玩家的心弦,编剧和开发者开始频繁地使用小女孩和年轻女性这两种角色。这么做营造了一种成人游戏产生不了的氛围。迎合轻熟玩家的游戏多了,玩家在游戏中扮演父亲而非单纯的动作英雄的机会也多了。《生化危机之无限》和《最后的生还者》都让玩家扮演父亲型角色,这其中必定有原因。因为玩着Ataris和Super Nintendo长大的玩家现在基本上有自己的小孩了,所以电子游戏利用儿童角色,特别是小女孩,甚至更能激起玩家的情绪。

接下来,我们就来盘点一下电子游戏中的小女孩,有些你可能记忆犹新。

Katey Greene——《僵尸围城2》

Greene是主人公Chuck Greene的女儿,她是一个可爱的小姑娘,却不幸被在拉斯维加斯事件中被僵尸感染。她的父亲必须时时用僵尸疫苗Zombrex才能让她活下来。Chuck对女儿关爱有加,为了给她新的布偶,不惜冒险与僵尸群作战。我想,为了保护自己的女儿,我们都会像Chuck一样疯狂吧。

“小妹妹”——《生化奇兵》

在《生化奇兵》中,“小妹妹”是剧情中不可或缺的部分,这些浑身长蛆的孤独必须由“大老爹”照顾和保护。贯穿整个游戏,玩家面临着一个艰难的抉择:释放那些你捕捉到的“小妹妹”或杀死她们以获得更多能量。取决于你拯救的“小妹妹”数量,游戏的结局会有所不同。这种机制深刻地影响着玩家的体验,使他们产生沉重的负罪感。

Ellie——《最后的生还者》

Ellie是一个14岁的小女孩。她在军营中出生时,世界就已经一片混乱了。她对现代都市波士顿一无所知,却非常迷恋流行文化,如CD和漫画。在游戏中,她经历了14岁孩子本不应该经历的处境,让玩家非常担心她。《最后的生还者》绝对是让玩家揣紧控制器的游戏。

Alma Wade——《F.E.A.R》

小女孩Alma一出生就有超能力,这却使她面临危险的处境。她正是那种应该送时最好的康复中心的孩子,而不是被利用。这是《F.E.A.R》系列中最令人惊骇的情节。我相信玩这款游戏的父母永远也不想看到自己的孩子经历相同的折磨。

红/白皇后——《生化危机》中的电脑

《生化危机》中的这两部电脑是比较罕见的女孩形象。她们有着小女孩的顽皮和善良天性,也有非常令人不安的地方。不知为什么,她们就是令人害怕的小女孩。我想,她们说的没错——甚至是成年男性也会害怕小女孩。

Clementine——《行尸走肉》

在《行尸走肉》游戏中,小女孩Clementine创造了最令玩家心痛的体验。Lee Everett发誓要保护她,因为她的父母被僵尸们包围了。随着玩家在游戏中进展,这种情感纽带越来越坚韧,玩家甚至把她当成自己的亲生女儿般保护。

Yumi Sawamura——《Little Girl in Yakuza》

虽然她在游戏中不是主角,但Yumi的经历说明了犯罪如何影响每个人的生活。多亏了游戏中发生的事,她的故事被留在了背景中。

Ashley Graham——《生化危机4》

Graham小姐塑造了一个经典的总统的女儿的形象。扮演Leon Kennedy的玩家必须保证她的安全并随时帮助她。虽然处于困境,但她是一个喜欢玩乐的角色,多少让人觉得耳目一新。

Trip——《Enslaved: Odyssey to the West》

这款游戏的故事发生在未来被太空大战破坏的地球上。Trip是一位应征参与保护猴子行动的年轻女孩。在旅途中,她让原本单调的动作游戏变得有趣。一路上,除了根据合约履行职责,她还通过其他方式证明了她是个能干的女孩。

Cheryl Mason——《寂静岭》

Cheryl是某些仪式的不幸产物。她一出生就失去父母,由Harry Mason和他的妻子照顾。一场车祸后,她失踪了,Harry在游戏中的任务就是找到她。这让作为父母的玩家体验到自己丢了孩子的感觉。

如上所述,这些小女孩和年轻女性给电子游戏增添了生机和活力,让原本冰冷和无意义的游戏世界变得温情脉脉。《生化奇兵》中的小妹妹让玩家产生罪恶感,《行尸走肉》和《生化危机4》让玩家不顾一切保护自己的所爱。已升为人父人母的玩家如果能经常玩这些游戏,一定会很有感触;毕竟没有人想看到自己的孩子陷入危险和受到伤害,哪怕是一点点。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,拒绝任何不保留版权的转载,如需转载请联系:游戏邦

Little Girls in Video Games

by Courtney Gordner

In the last few years, hit video games have become more and more about story and experience than about simple gameplay. To tug at the heartstrings of gamers everywhere, writers and developers have been known to use little girls and young women. This creates a sort of atmosphere that just can’t be done with grown adults in games. With many games catering to the slightly older audience, it’s easier to play a game as a father figure than a simple action hero. There’s something to be said of games that put you in a fatherly role like the new Bioshock Infinite or the Last of Us. Gamers that grew up with Ataris and Super Nintendos often have children of their own, making the use of children, especially girls, in video games even more poignant.

Let’s take a look at some of the best examples of little girls in video games and a little bit about them, some of them you might remember very well.

Katey Greene – Dead Rising 2

As the daughter of protagonist Chuck Greene, Katey is a sweet little girl that’s been infected after the Las Vegas outbreak. Her father must constantly secure Zombrex to keep her alive. Chuck becomes so protective of her that he’d fight off hordes of Zombies just to get her a new stuffed animal. I think we’d all fight like crazy to protect our own daughter like Chuck.

The Little Sisters – BioShock

In the hit game BioShock, the Little Sisters were integral parts of the narrative. Portraying grubby orphans that have to fend for themselves and partner with monsters that are the Big Daddies. Throughout the game, you’re given the gruelling choice to set those you capture free or harvest their life force for better powers. Depending on how many you save affects the ending of the game. The mechanic can also heavily affect the amount of guilt experienced throughout the game.

Ellie  – Last of Us

Ellie is a 14-year old girl that grew up in a world in turmoil. Growing up in a military camp, she knows very little outside of Boston. She’s obsessed with pop culture, such as CDs and comics. Throughout the game she comes across situations that no 14-year old should be and you really end up fearing for her. This is definitely one game that will have furthers clutching their controllers.

Alma Wade  – F.E.A.R

A little girl born with incredible psychic abilities, Alma was experimented upon and put in great danger. She’s the exact type of girl that should be in one of the best rehab centers, not exploited like this. This is what forms most of the scares in the F.E.A.R series and we’re sure parents playing this would never want their child to go through the same sort of ordeal.

The Red/White Queen  – Computer in Resident Evil

The computers in Resident Evil were a sight to behold. With their impish and girlish nature, there’s something very unnerving about them both. Somehow, they’re that little bit extra creepy as little girls. I guess it’s true what they say – even grown men are scared of little girls.

Clementine – The Walking Dead

Little girl Clementine creates much of the heartache players experienced throughout the Walking Dead video game. As Lee Everett, you vow to protect her as her parents are stuck out in the Zombie apocalypse. As the player progresses through the game, the emotional bond grows stronger and drives the player to protect her as if she were their own.

Yumi Sawamura – Little Girl in Yakuza

While she doesn’t play a major part in the game, Yumi is a quintessential example of how crime and the like can get in the way of everyday life. With her life derailed thanks to the event that happen in the game, she is left alone and in the background.

Ashley Graham from Resident Evil 4

Ms Graham plays the classic character of the President’s daughter. Playing as Leon Kennedy, the player must rescue her whenever she needs help. She’s a fun-loving character however, and makes for a fresh twist on the damsel in distress.

Trip from Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

Set in a futuristic Earth that has been ravaged by a space war, Trip is a young woman that enlists the help of Monkey through a headband that means he has to obey. Throughout the journey, Trip makes for an interesting insight in a game that would otherwise be a boring action game. She’s a woman of the world and helps out along the way with her contacts and more, proving that girls can be helpful in games.

Cheryl Mason – Silient Hill

Cheryl is the unfortunate creation of some ritual. She’s born into the world without any parents by Harry Mason and his wife take care of her. When she disappears after a car crash, Harry spends the rest of the game trying to find her. It resonates with a lot of what we feel when we lose a child.

Little girls and young women like those above add a certain dynamic to video games, a certain humanity to experiences that would otherwise be cold and meaningless. The Little Sisters from Bioshock give the game guilt and games like the Walking Dead and Resident Evil 4 push you to do anything to keep those you love safe from harm. Parents will often play these games and feel a certain attachment. Nobody likes to see their child in danger and no matter what, little girls shouldn’t ever get caught in the crossfire.(source:debugdesign)
