“…Due to the complexity in studies of the emotions and their great dissipative capacity, the scientific community is looking for alternatives to increase the level of reliability of results. Multimodal analyses can meet this demand as they use several methods for data collection and analysis (Khan and Sharif 2017;Siqueira et al 2018).…”

Identifying users’ experience when using products is one of the major challenges for design. Analyzing users’ psychophysiological reactions to an experience using biofeedback can produce more reliable results than using subjective evaluations, such as structured interviews and questionnaires. Two case studies were conducted to identify emotions users actually felt and to check whether there is some correspondence with what they reported after using two computational systems. The first system investigated users’ emotions during training on a vehicle driving simulator, and the second analyzed the emotions experienced during a car racing game, both in a virtual reality environment. User’s opinions about their emotional state were obtained using self-report techniques (using the Geneva Emotions Wheel—GEW and Positive and Negative Affective Schedule—PANAS questionnaires) and applying EEG (brain activity with Frontal Alpha Asymmetry Index—FAAI) and infrared thermography (facial thermograms). The training experiment presented the greater concordance between the psychophysiological and the self-report responses. Results evidenced the importance of undertaking multimodal studies in design research to determine users’ emotional experiences in a virtual reality context.

“…These include visual distractors [17], leaderboard manipulations [10], reward types [50], the genre of the game [35], game platform [2,3,38], the personality of the player [36], the presence of social entity [40], and peak-end effects [29]. Gameplay data [41], psychophysiological signals, e.g., facial expression and electrodermal activity [64], and computational models of players' intrinsic motivation [28] have also been analyzed to either predict or understand players' experiences. Behavioral theory has been applied to interpret the results related to, for example, the role of attribution [21] and motivation [18].…”

This experimental study explores how game experience differs between players with different gameplay histories within the same game universe. We are interested in how prolonged engagement with a game series affects the gameplay experience in relation to the most recent game version in the series. A total of 54 participants were divided into four groups depending on their gaming experience, namely non-gamers, new-gamers, old-gamers and core-gamers. They played the mobile version of Super Mario Run, and questionnaire data was collected after the gameplay session. The results of the study showed that not only the players’ personal gameplay history but also the length of experience or degree of familiarity with the game universe affected the experience of playing a new game in the same game universe. Additionally, familiarity with the game universe had a positive impact on the feeling of competence, immersion, emotions and flow.
