Diegetic Interface	comment	A diegetic interface is when a game's interface elements exist In-Universe; the Player Character sees them, rather than just the player ("Diegetic" meaning "within the narrative", such as diegetic music). This is generally handled in one of two ways. Sometimes the normal player HUD is explained as being part of the character's equipment — common if he's robotic, a Cyborg, or wearing Powered Armor, and justified if the game is in first-person perspective. Other times, the game simply uses in-game indications of things that a HUD would normally tell you; a wounded character will limp instead of having a Life Meter, for example. Vehicle simulators call this a virtual cockpit, and it tends to be the most detailed and realistic interface mode short of a hardware sim with actual panels. In these cases, a 2-D control panel laid out for easier reading without scrolling is usually included as an easier-to-program option. Generally, this is done in order to increase immersion and enhance Willing Suspension of Disbelief; it's much easier to believe that your character is a real person in a real situation when the screen isn't cluttered with inexplicable icons representing health and ammo. In some cases, this also leads to an aversion of Menu Time Lockout: browsing your inventory may leave the player open to attack, instead of pausing the action mid-battle while you apply a handy medkit. It also helps that drawing the interface all the time can reduce the screen area that needs to be drawn using the more expensive world rendering. Robo Cam is when one is applied to a character's view outside of video games. Justified Save Point is related. May justify Interface Screw as well. See also Painting the Medium, where this is temporarily invoked for the sake of Postmodernism, and usually Played for Laughs.

Diegetic Interface / int_11fd7982	type	Diegetic Interface
Diegetic Interface / int_11fd7982	comment	The Metroid Prime Trilogy, which also has some Interface Screw elements similar to Crysis, though Metroid Prime predates it by several years. For example, when Samus gets past certain enemies, they actually cause "interference". Rezbits in Echoes can actually make Samus' Power Suit crash by infecting it with a virus, and the player has to reboot it by pressing a key sequence, much like pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del. There is a proximity alert that warns you when you're near something dangerous (like lava), which is helpful to Samus as well considering her peripheral vision is obstructed by the edges of her helmet and her ability to sense her surroundings is dampened by the suit's armor. Several environmental effects also serve to remind the player that they have the suit's visor in front of them (e.g. steam fogs it up, water splashes droplets on it, bright flashes cause Samus's face to be briefly reflected on the inside, etc). Certain visor modes, such as the X-Ray Visor, also have overlapping effects on the interface. When the X-Ray visor is enabled, Samus's skeleton can be seen within her arm cannon, and changing beam types shows how it functions (she changes the mode by changing the way her hand is positioned). The four lights at the top of Samus' field of view, which did nothing in the first two GameCube games, represent the power level of the batteries in the Wii Remote in Corruption and the Metroid Prime Trilogy version of Echoes. The side-scrolling Metroid games naturally avoid this by virtue of being third-person, but they still manages this in a form: the pause menu from Super Metroid on is designed to look like the inside of Samus' helmet. Additionally, Metroid: Other M allows the player to go into first-person view to shoot at enemies, complete with a Prime-esque helmet view.

Diegetic Interface / int_17ec5027	comment	Silent Hill: Downpour is a minor example; there's no HUD, but there are context commands and an inventory screen. The easiest way to tell how much more damage Murphy's taken is Murphy's appearance — whether he can still run or just barely drag himself around and the extent of bruising visible on his body are the tell tale signs of damage. The light given off by his flashlight will also grime up as he takes damage.

Diegetic Interface / int_1c252b8b	comment	Newer entries in the Farming Simulator series have highly detailed, usually unique cockpits for every tractor, harvester, truck or other vehicle you can drive. While not all of their countless displays are functional, most are, and some are actually exclusive to cockpit mode - if you drive in third-person, which switches your view to a standard video game HUD, you won't be seeing this specific readout anywhere. Similar to the Euro Truck Simulator mentioned above, cockpit mirrors are also fully functional, albeit not adjustable. A few specialized vehicles even have external cameras on crucial parts like cranes that you can access for precision maneuvering.

The Sheikah Slate itself was designed to look like the Wii U's Gamepad; that it also resembles the Nintendo Switch was, according to the developers, a happy accident (they didn't have to redesign it for the latter). Also, the HUD widgets in the lower right corner of the main game screen are actually from the Sheikah Slate's UI.

Diegetic Interface / int_22712c05	comment	Euro Truck Simulator actually offers no other way to see your engine RPM and the status of your parking brake and axle lock other than by looking at your truck's dashboard; chances are you'll find yourself alternating between the third person view to look at the scenery, and the first person view while accelerating, stopping or taking sharp corners. Operating controls such as the flasher, the retarder or the parking brake results in a button being pushed, and the side mirrors are functional, adjustable and you can use them to look behind you while changing lane or maneuvering. You can even add decorations and accessories to liven up your factory default interior. 2 and ATS continue this tradition. In a similar vein, vehicles (whether vanilla or modded) in Snowrunner often have detailed cabins where you can see various gauges and elements that animate along with the status of your vehicle, and can be decorated and accessorized with things like stickers, decals, and hanging objects like fuzzy dice or pine-tree air fresheners. The degree of detail and customization can vary quite wildly though.

Diegetic Interface / int_2acb12c5	comment	Ships in the X-Universe games from X: Beyond the Frontier to X2: The Threat had virtual 3-D cockpits, where parts of the HUD were also projected onto panels in the cockpit. On a fighter, for example, the hull, shield, weapon status, and speed may be incorporated into small screens built into the cockpit's pillars. Or on a capital ship, different aspects of the HUD may be incorporated into different "stations" in the virtual bridge, such as having a large Star Wars-esque radar screen to the left of the captain's seat. X3: Reunion removed the cockpits entirely, but they are easily re-added via mods, and some mods add new cockpit designs. The full cockpit returns in the seventh game, X: Rebirth and almost completely replaces traditional HUD elements, with menus such as trading and the system map being integrated into the Albion Skunk's cockpit through a large sliding video screen dividing the pilot and copilot areas. An option in the 2.5 update allows you to disable most of the diegetic interface in favor of a faster traditional HUD.

Also, while there is a standard clip/reserve HUD display active with the rocket launcher, you can also see how many of the rockets are left in the clip just by looking at it.

Diegetic Interface / int_6a307d4	comment	In the first Titanfall, the entire theme of the whole game can be said to be diegetic. The HUD is part of the Pilotâ€™s helmet, the Titanâ€™s HUD is part of the Titan screens themselves which can go off screen when ejecting as you look down for a moment to pull a cord, and after you get propelled in the air, your Pilot HUD turns on again. There is never a third person sequence or cutscene in the entire game except death. Takedowns/executions are in first person, entering your Titan mech is in first person (complete with the Titanâ€™s arm helping you inside occasionally), even the campaign itself is diegetic in a way, due to the fact that it isnâ€™t a traditional single player campaign, and instead consists of multiplayer matches with real players vs players set in a chronological war between the two factions in game (the fact that the campaign was essentially multiplayer only to emphasise the story was why it was criticised) And yes, this extents to each player having their own unique cutscenes in first person, depending on their faction, their mission and even their individual slot in the lobby itself. Titanfall 2 builds on this by having everyman Jack Cooper Falling into the Cockpit of the eponymous Humongous Mecha. There is an (extremely) brief opening segment, during which the player has no HUD, ending with the player being saved by Capt. Lastimosa and his Titan, BT-7274. Lastimosa is wounded and names Cooper his successor as BT's pilot, telling Cooper to scavenge the helmet and Jet Pack from his body. Only when Cooper puts on that helmet does The Player get a HUD.

Diegetic Interface / int_6c1d09b3	comment	Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 4 have diegetic menus in the form of a wrist-mounted computer called the Pip-Boy 3000. It somehow lets you do things like use items, manage your equipment and other inventory, and physically examine yourself for wounds. It also runs on an equivalent of MS-DOS. Note, however, that the HUD itself is mostly non-diegetic, as the ammo counter, HP and AP meters, and compass pips aren't justified in-game. An interesting case in that before you get the Pip-Boy, pressing Tab does nothing. In one quest scenario where you temporarily lose the Pip-Boy due to being in a VR simulation, however, pressing Tab will bring up your wrist... and it only has a Vault-Tec watch on it. This was a small issue for some modders, who sought to remove the visible Pip-Boy wrist model from their character, only to find out that the inventory screen would end up as a close-up of their wrist instead. While the nature of the gameplay makes it less apparent in-game, the equivalent menus in 1 and 2 were apparently also diegetic, using the Pip-Boy 2000. When wearing Powered Armor in Fallout 4, the Pip-Boy can't be seen since it's being worn under the armor. Instead, when you open the Pip-Boy menu, it's projected as a window on the armor's HUD screen. There are also mods that apply this effect to Powered Armor in 3 and New Vegas.

One button lets you look at your watch (which shows time until air runs out and ambient light level, for sneaking) while another brings up his notes (listing your next objective, with a compass pointing the way). The menu is Artyom looking at notepads he wrote his inventory and objectives on. The only non-diegetic part of the interface is your weapon selection and ammo count — though for some weapons, even the ammo count is visible on the weapon. Even better, the hardest difficulties turn off the non-diegetic parts, and you can only check your reserves by pulling out Artyom's logbook in an equivalent of taking stock.

Instead, the player character would verbally call out the amount of ammo left in a gun ("five shots left," "feels half full," etc.) and a tattoo on her chest (which could be viewed by looking down) indicated the amount of health the character had. In addition to the lack of HUD, there was no "use" key; instead, the player must physically reach out and interact with objects through a simulated arm, the same one that holds your weapons and would need to be aligned just right to use the iron sights properly.

While these are primarily third person shooters, both games feature a first person mode for specialized marksman or sniper weapons, even though not all of them necessarily have scopes as we know it. The interface there is more likely to be the view through the Transformer's own optic sensors, and thus the health gauge, ammo counter, charge rate indicator, and other important gauges are directly projected over their field of view. This falls in line with much of the canon established by other Transformers media.

ECM devices or other disturbances will cause it to get jumpy and fill with static, and it even gets damaged in one of GRAW 2's missions. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier continues the trend, including having a mission (Ember Hunt) where the system has to be rebooted, denying you its use. Similarly, Call of Duty: Black Ops II has a HUD accessed through the player character's Cool Shades. Unlike Ghost Recon, the game doesn't go out of its way to create a plot point existing solely to jam it for long periods of time - there are still a few Interface Screws, but they are temporary and usually self-afflicted at best. Other Call of Duty games with an EMP killstreak also treat the HUD like this in multiplayer, as one of the effects of that EMP is to knock out your HUD for a minute or two.

This room served as a hub for any non-Rebel Alliance missions, and was notably the only room accessible during the prologue, before the player character joins the Rebellion. Displayed inside the room are the player's uniform,* with rank badge denoting cumulative score medal case,* with medals denoting completion of campaigns and cumulative bonus score and various memorabilia from specific missions. There is also a computer terminal through which the player can check their stats and read emails which provide additional flavor to the campaign.

In the high end purpose-built cars, you can actually disable the entire HUD and still remain fairly aware of your status - the car's electronic dashboard or wheel-mounted display will list lap times, your position, remaining fuel, RPMs, gear, speed, and so on. In cars like the Apollo IE or Lamborghini ReventÃ³n, with its fully digital fighter jet-esque dashboard, it goes all the way to Technology Porn.

It pops up in the corner of the game screen, but if you look over the character's shoulder you can see it being used in their hand. What's interesting is that the third-person cellphone model actually shows what's on the screen as seen on the corner as opposed to being a static prop. Same thing happens in Grand Theft Auto V, and even more so with the eighth-generation versions of it, as a first-person vehicle cockpit is available, and bringing up the smartphone results in the character showing his device (and thus the phone's interface) as he would with any weapon or item.

Additionally, most weapons in the game have some form of ammo counter on them to inform the user of how much ammo is left in the magazine (the SMC's Machine Gun and Shotgun have numeric readouts, while the Strogg's Nailgun and Lightning Gun have a series of pips and side-tube-things that depress, respectively).

Diegetic Interface / int_e726a3b6	comment	Star Wars Droidworks has two different interfaces. The first is the Droid workshop inside Wimateeka's sandcrawler, in which you get to build and customize a droid of your own making. It's packed with buttons showing dozens of different droid parts, a paint kit, view controls, switches to test the droid, and info tabs describing each part right down to the materials they're made of, your droid's full description, and the requirements for your current mission. Interestingly, what you assemble on-screen is simply a projection within the Holographic Design Grid, as the droid itself only gets built when a mission is started. The second is what you see when sending your completed droid on missions. Holocam-E, or Cammy, simultaneously serves as this HUD, and to follow your droid around as you pilot it remotely. She monitors the droid's speed, battery power, and amount of damage; manages your droid's inventory, and even gives you prompts on what to have your droid say to whoever it's talking to. She's not entirely diegetic, though; how she's able to follow your droid around and report back to you at the same time without you also being there in person is an unanswered question.

All mission briefings are viewed through their eyes, all the menus and interfaces aboard the dropship represent what they use to manage their company, and all the readouts in battle are what they use to monitor and direct their lance on the ground. When you visit your ship engineer, 'Mech bay or command center, their respective menus can be seen on physical monitors near the resident specialists, only enlarged for the player's convenience. Even the external view of the battlefield from above has an in-game explanation: you're observing the op zone through the long-range scopes of your dropship in low orbit.

Since the game is set in The '90s, it has an appropriately low-resolution and Retraux look, reminiscent of Windows 95. The system boots up with an audible whir, can get infected with viruses that cause interface screws, and will eventually crash if used for long periods of time (due to running out of memory). At a climactic point in the game, the system lethally crashes and you wake up, completely removing the game's interface.

In 5 and 6 "Premium"/"Detailed" cars have painstakingly detailed interiors, while "Standard" cars have generic black interiors, though the standard HUD gauges are laid out in such a way that it looks like the car has a working tachometer and speedometer.

Indeed, during the segments outside the Animus, the game goes out of its way to avoid having any sort of HUD at all, except when essential. The Animus even has its own loading icon, separate from the game's. This is taken a step further in the modern-day segments of the third game, which include a quadrotor hovering about to serve as a diegetic third-person camera.
