Penalties for death range from having to restart the entire game, to being revived at the very spot you died. Most games have a save feature though, making death merely a nuisance.
In the game Steel Battalion for Xbox you can actually die and lose everything. If you are about to die, you must eject using the button on the Cockpit controller. Failure in doing so kills your character, and deletes all your save files.
In Prey, death brings you to the Spirit World, where all you need to do in order to be brought back is to kill some spirits. Once that is done, you are brought back at the exact same spot.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games.
Overview
"Death" in games is based on what happens in the real world when the body stops metabolizing. In other words, Death is the absence of life. Unlike in video games, where it is common to die from blood loss or massive trauma, Death in real life is often caused by less sudden occurrences. For instance, the most common cause of death in most organisms is the gradual shortening of the telomeres that cap off chromosomes after each cell replication. There are also many fatal diseases and maladies that a person in the real world can contract from both internal and external sources. For instance, one common disease that comes in many flavors is cancer. There is also AIDS (non-fatal, but contractors rarely survive), malaria, aneurysms, and heart attacks.Death In Games
Death occurs in games where the main character in a game runs out health by such means as being stabbed, shot, jumping off of high places, being run over, set on fire, eaten, blown up, smashed, whacked, punched, dropped on, suplexed, decapitated, etc. Virtually every video game has an aspect of death in some way, although how each game handles death varies from extremely similar to radically different.Penalties for death range from having to restart the entire game, to being revived at the very spot you died.
