索尼携PS4再战游戏江湖
|
索尼推出PS4，表明它屈服于科技的转变及手机、平板电脑和社交网络对玩家游戏方式的影响。控制台采用云技术，可以让游戏立刻传输到玩家的家中，这点很像网飞（Netflix）和亚马逊（Amazon）传输电影和电视节目。（去年，索尼以3.8亿美元收购了云服务提供商Gaikai。）索尼的豪斯说：“客厅已经不再是家庭生态环境中的中心，”指的是人们能够通过平板电脑、智能手机和网络连接，从而玩到PS4的游戏。 此外，PS VITA用户将能够使用手持游戏设备作为辅助屏幕，包括远程控制游戏或显示策略信息。索尼称将提供类似于流行的微软Kinect动作传感摄像头系统。它能够让机器记录玩家的动作。比如，开发商Media Molecule展示了一个视频，其中的用户通过在空中移动动作控制器进行了3D物体的雕刻。 索尼进行了大量游戏演示，其中一些在开发硬件上实时运行，包括动作冒险游戏《Knack》和模拟现实驾驶的《驾驶俱乐部》（Drive Club）。Capcom、Square Enix、Bungie和暴雪（Blizzard）在内的游戏开发巨头也参与了演示。暴雪称，之前仅在PC机上运行的巨作《暗黑破坏神3》（Diablo 3）也将开始支持PS4和PS3平台。（财富中文网） 译者：严匡正 |
With the Playstation 4, Sony appears to be coming to terms with major shifts in technology as well as the impact of mobile phones, tablets, and social networking on how gamers play. The console features cloud-based technology that can stream games to players' homes instantly, much like Netflix (NFLX) and Amazon (AMZN) beam movies and TV shows. (Last year, Sony bought cloud provider Gaikaifor $380 million.) "The living room is no longer the center of the ecosystem," said Sony's House, referring to the ability to connect to PS4 games via tablets, smartphones and the web. Additionally, Playstation Vita owners will be able to use their handheld gaming device as a supplementary screen, including controlling games remotely or displaying tactical information. Sony said it would offer a motion-sensing camera system akin to Microsoft's popularKinect device. That will allow the machine to pick up the movements of a player. In one example, developer Media Molecule showed a video of users sculpting 3D objects by waving a motion controller in the air. Sony showed a number of game demos, some running in real-time on development hardware, including action-adventure title Knack and realistic driving simulator Drive Club. Developers from some of the biggest forms in gaming were a part of the presentation, including Capcom, Square Enix, Bungie, and Blizzard (ATVI). Blizzard announced that its PC-only blockbuster Diablo 3 would be available for the PS4 and PS3. |
