The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

Using the pattern

Diegetic Aspects

Interface Aspects

Mediated Gameplay assumes the presence of an interface that controls at least parts of how players can interact with the game system and each other. For this reason, it is a Interface Pattern. While many other Interface Patterns can be part of Mediated Gameplay they do not necessarily need to be so since the gameplay may primarily be done unmediated with only some presentations being mediated. Patterns which are difficult to support without Mediated Gameplay include Split-Screen Views, Third-Person Views, Tooltips, and Vision Modes. While Self-Reported Positioning also requires Mediated Gameplay it modulates the pattern rather than is created by it.
