外媒报道,Konami 已经暂停所有 AAA 级别的游戏开发,除了《实况足球 | PES | Winning Eleven》系列。看上去是全力进军手游市场,这也意味着《合金装备》、《寂静岭》等暂时不会有续作计划。
Konami is winding down development on all AAA game production, with the exception of the Pro Evolution Soccer series, according to French site Gameblog.
The publication claims that all console projects have been either stopped or canceled. The news comes from the same site in the wake of rumors of Fox Engine technology director Julien Merceron departing the company; Eurogamer has apparently independently verified both reports. We've reached out to Konami for comment and will update accordingly.
Konami has been a company of massive change as of late, beginning with rumors of Hideo Kojima's departure, its cancelation of Silent Hills and the removal of its playable teaser, P.T., from the PlayStation Store, and a major internal restructuring. In May, new CEO Hideki Hayakawa told Nikkei Trendy Net that mobile is the platform that is "always closest to us ... mobile is where the future of gaming lies." In a followup from Konami, however, the company said it would continue to pursue console and PC games.
"Konami will continue to embrace the challenge of creating entertainment content via different platforms; across not only mobile platforms, but for home consoles, arcade units, and cards, to meet the changing needs of the times," Konami said in a letter provided to Polygon.
Gameblog's report suggests that Merceron leaving is related to Konami's focus on mobile.
In March, hiring listings for a new stealth-focused project were posted on Konami's site. A separate page added that the company "has resolved to embark on production of a new 'Metal Gear' series."
Konami released Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain on Sept. 1. According to a Nikkei profile released in August, which described Konami as an abhorrent workplace, The Phantom Pain was the final project before the company would shift to mobile games. The game's online component, Metal Gear Online, launches in October for consoles and next year on PC.
The most recent title in the PES series, Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, launched Sept. 15 in North America. The company recently announced that it will release a new title in the Pawapuro series next spring for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. A mobile Pawapuro is present at TGS, along with Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and PES 2016.
Microsoft has announced that Project Spark, the game creation tool for the Xbox One and Windows platforms, will be moving to a completely free model on October 5. Currently, Project Spark sports a number of micro transactions, enabling users to snag extra content for their games for a price. After October 5, however, this content will be free for all.
In addition, Microsoft notes that there are some new features and content coming to Project Spark on October 5 as well. From Microsoft:
The maximum terrain limit in creations has been doubled
The maximum prop limit in creations has been increased by 500
200+ new assets have been added in game, including a dragon, goblin warlord, bog biome and a set of new primitive building blocks
Each creator will now have a total of 100 Upload Slots for their creations
UGC ranking will be based on downloads and favorites, instead of upvote/downvote ratings
The Project Spark Marketplace has been removed
The Project Spark Tour and Treasure Trove have been removed
Achievements have been revamped for players and creators
As for those who purchased content for Project Spark, Microsoft notes that anyone who made a purchase for digital content or purchased and activated a retail disc on or after July 28, 2015 will receive Microsoft Store credit equivalent to their purchase. And the same goes for anyone who has a remainder left on in-game purchased tokens.
在接受 MCV UK 的采访时,《巫师 3》的开发工作室 CD Projekt Red 的视觉效果师 Jose Teixeira 说:《Cyberpunk 2077》将会比工作室之前的任何作品都要大。《巫师 3》的开发过程对这个游戏的开发很有帮助。
这个游戏在 2012 年 10 月公布,至今为止消息很少,开发商说至少到 2017 年才会和大家说这个游戏方面的事情。
Since Blizzard announced Overwatch for PC last year, most of the gaming world has assumed it’s coming to consoles too. Now, GameStop’s all but confirmed it.
As of this morning, GameStop is taking pre-orders on the hero shooter for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, according to clerks at an NYC store I just spoke to.
They’re offering the game for $60, which feels off—this seems designed to be a free-to-play game—but who knows? It’s worth noting that Blizzard also sells the free-to-play PC game Heroes of the Storm in a $20 physical bundle, which comes with heroes and skins. So GameStop taking pre-orders for Overwatch doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not free-to-play.
It’s likely that GameStop just spoiled an announcement Blizzard planned to make at BlizzCon in Los Angeles tomorrow, so we’ll see if official news hits then. For more on Overwatch, check out our impressions of the beta.
UPDATE (8:04pm): And now it’s confirmed, thanks to a Blizzard splash page.
