Kusele cishe izinyanga ezintathu kuze kube isizukulwane esisha futhi lokhu kukhulunywe ngakho futhi kwaxoxwa ngakho izinyanga nezinyanga: i-Hardware, imininingwane, okokusebenza, izifundo zokuthuthuka, izinhlu, amanani, njll. Kusenemininingwane ebalulekile okufanele yaziwe njengokuthi, ngaphandle kokuqhubeka, usuku lokugcina lokukhishwa kwe-Xbox One noma imininingwane yalo eningiliziwe.
Iqiniso ngukuthi, ngaphandle kwama-chips nama-circuitry, okuhlala kugcina ngokuthatha isinqumo lapho ukhetha ipulatifomu eyodwa noma enye imidlalo. Futhi nokuningi, manje njengoba iMicrosoft ibuyele emuva ezinqumweni eziningi ezingalungile nezingqubuzanayo ebizenzile: i-draconian DRM, ukuxhumana okudingekayo, izithiyo kubathuthukisi abazimele, uKinect ophoqelekile oxhunyiwe, njll. Usizani umshini onemininingwane ecacisiwe enekhathalogu ecekethekileyo? Futhi maqondana nalokhu, siyazi ukuthi ingxenye enkulu yayo yakhiwe ngezihloko zama-multiplatform ezinjenge-Call of Duty noma i-FIFA esemsebenzini, kanye nama-franchise amasha anekusasa elifana ne-Destiny noma i-Watch Dogs. Kepha, ngokuqondakalayo, sizohlala sithola lezo zinto ezikhethekile ezisenza sikhethe umshini owodwa noma omunye.
Futhi maqondana nalokhu, ngiyakholelwa, I-Sony ne-Microsoft kubukeka sengathi kuthwele amasu ahlukaniswe impela. IMicrosoft ayilinakanga ikhathalogu kanye nokukhishwa okukhethekile kwe-Xbox 360 ekugcineni kwayo ukuze igxile kwikhonsoli yayo elandelayo futhi ihambisane nalokho, ngokombono wami, ikhathalogu ephelele kakhulu futhi ehlukahlukene kulaba bobabili: Forza Motorsport 5, Killer Instinct, Dead Ukukhuphuka kwe-3, i-Ryse, njll. Konke lokhu kuhlanganiswe nokushiywa kanye nezinzuzo ezifana namaseva azinikele kuCall of Duty: Ghosts, okuqukethwe okuningi kuFIFA 14 (umdlalo onikezwa ukubhuka eYurophu) kanye nemidlalo efana neProjekti Spark, iKinect Sport Rivals 2 ne, okulindelwe kakhulu, iTitanfall isiseduze.
Okwamanje, i- I-Playstation 3 AbakwaSony kusamele bathole iziqu ezimbili ezinhle njengeGran Turismo 6 neNgaphezulu: Imiphefumulo emibili futhi, mhlawumbe ngenxa yalesi sizathu, ikhathalogi yayo yokwethulwa ibuthakathaka kancane uma sikhuluma ngayo omkhulu wamabhayisikobho ashisa izikhotha noma kathathu i-AAA. Sithola iDriveclub, iKillzone ebabazekayo: iShadowfall neKnack phakathi kwezihloko eziphawuleka kakhulu, ezizokwengezelwa yinqwaba yeziqu ezizimele kanye umagazini kuthakazelisa njengePlanetside 2 noma iBlacklight. Umkhathizwe, esikhathini esifushane, nawo ubukeka engaqinisekile ngokwedlulele ngokuba yiNgcono ehehayo: Indodana Yesibili noma i-Order engaqondakali futhi ekude kakhulu: 1886, ukuphela kwento esingayithola yango-2014.
Kepha njengoba isizukulwane singanqobi ngezinombolo nedatha yehadiwe, kunzima kakhulu ukukwenza ngekhathalogi yokwethulwa, yebo, enganikela ekwandiseni ukuthengiswa kokuqala futhi yakhe ipaki enhle yamakhonsoli. Futhi kulapho Microsoft Kufanele utshale imali oyisebenzisa njengamanje ezinkampanini ezithile ezifana ne-EA noma imidlalo yezinkampani ilungu langaphandle njenge-Dead Rising 3 noma i-Sunset Overdrive yesikhathi esizayo. Futhi ngukuthi, maqondana nalokho esikubonile ku-360, ikhonsoli iyekile ukuba nezitudiyo ezinkulu ezifana neBizarre, Epic Games noma iBungie engasebenzi phakathi kwezinhlangano zayo (izitudiyo ezithuthukisela inkampani kuphela) futhi ayizange ithathe ukusebenzisa ithuba lokuthola ama-franchise amaningi ozosebenzisana nawo lapho i-THQ ihlakazeka futhi ifaka ama-franchise ayo endalini. Okwamanje, ama-studio abo amabili adalwe eVictoria nase-Osaka, namanje engenawo amaphrojekthi aziwayo, futhi kutholakale onjiniyela abambalwa abancane abanjengoTwisted Pixel noma iPress Play okubonakala sengathi kufakwe kumaphrojekthi weKinect.
Kepha umbuzo omkhulu uvela lapho ucabanga ngekhathalogi yesikhathi eside lapho IMicrosoft isivele ikhombise cishe wonke amakhadi ayo. Uma sigxila kuqala, siyazi ukuthi ama-343 Industries asebenza ngeHalo entsha yango-2014, ukuthi iLionhead Studios ikanye nezinganekwane ezintsha zeFable, izingoma zabadubuli bakusasa beBlack Tusk sezivele zikhonjisiwe (IMicrosoft ithembele kakhulu kulesi sihloko), iTurn10 qalisa i-Forza 5 lapho kwethulwa futhi i-RARE isebenza ngesihloko esikhethekile seKinect futhi, noma kungenzeka ukuthi isebenza kokunye. Uma sikhuluma ngeqembu lesibili, siyazi futhi ukuthi yini iRededy, i-Crytek ne-Insomniac abasebenza kuyona ngenkathi, mhlawumbe, i-Playground Games inengqondo entsha yeForza Horizon. Konke lokhu, futhi, kweqiwe yizinkampani eziningi "ezincane" ezisebenza kumaphrojekthi wefu neKinect futhi, okwamanje, futhi lapho ingekho imigomo emisha yokushicilelwa kwezihloko ezizimele, ikhathalogu eyindlala kakhulu kulokhu. Eqinisweni, izinkampani nabathuthukisi ababenakho Ukubambisana NgamaMicrosoft Studios afana neTequila Works, uJonathan Blow noma uMojang bakhethe ukuvula ubudlelwano nabakwaSony futhi bashicilele izihloko zabo ezintsha ku-Playstation 4.
Uma siqhubeka ne-Ps4 sizobona ukuthi inkampani ikhombise kanjani ikhathalogi efanayo unyaka wonke, ngeziqu ezizimele ezifana neRime noma iMurasakiBaby ekhonjiswe e-Gamescom izinto ezintsha ezisanda kufana kulezi zinsuku zakamuva. Kepha ngokubuyisela, futhi kusekelwa inombolo yakho yokubhuka, USony unekamelo lokulala uchungechunge olude lwamaphrojekthi avela kwizitudiyo zawo eziyinhloko. Asazi lutho mayelana nokuthi yini iNaughty Dog (abadali be-Unchched neThe Last of Us) noma iSanta Monica (God of War) okungenzeka babandakanyeka kuyo, esivele isimemezele ukuthi isebenza kumaphrojekthi amaningi amakhulu (kukhona ukukhuluma kuze kufike izifundo ezintathu zangaphakathi). Ngaphezu kwalokho, imidlalo yamaGuerrilla isebenza nge-IP entsha, iMedia Molecule ayisasikhiphi isibambiso kuphrojekthi yayo entsha kanti iSony Japan neQuantic Dream basanda kuphothula iziqu zabo zePs3 ngalokho obekungaba nengqondo ukuthi bese bevele bacwilisiwe esikhathini esizayo ukukhishwa kwe-Playstation 4. Konke lokhu ngaphandle kokukhohlwa i-The Last Guardian yeTeam Ico yokugcina.
Ngamafuphi, IMicrosoft isibonile isidingo sokukhombisa amakhadi ayo aphambili kungekudala, kungashiyi lutho oluzomenyezelwa. Okwamanje, abakwaSony bakhe ikhathalogi yezitolo enobuvila, bayihloba ngenani elikhulu le- ama-indies Futhi, ngokuqinisekile uma ubheka inani lokubhuka nokwamukelwa kwekhonsoli, banokuningi abakufundisayo nokuthi yini okumangazayo eminyakeni ezayo. Futhi maqondana nalokhu futhi ngeMicrosoft ukuthola okungatholakali kwesikhashana futhi ukusebenzisana con amaphathi wesithathu Esikhundleni sokukhuthaza intuthuko yakho, ungahle uwele odabeni "lwesinkwa sanamuhla nokulambela ikusasa." Isikhathi sizotshela.
Ngemuva kokuthi i-E3 ne-Gamescom seziqedile, izitobhi ezilandelayo ukuthola kabanzi ngezihloko ezintsha zesizukulwane esisha yilezi I-Tokyo Game Show futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, i I-VGA ukuphela konyaka lapho, uma sibheka ngemuva, amaphrojekthi amahle akhonjiswa njalo. Okungangabazeki ukuthi sinesizukulwane esikhulu ngaphambi kwethu, kufanele sikujabulele!
Imininingwane engaphezulu - Isizukulwane esisha ku-MVJ
