Wuhan-based independent game developer Sukuku Games' new work The Tale of Showa Mikoku was officially announced. The trailer features plenty of '80s pop culture elements and is a rather B-grade road movie-style ARPG.
The game is based on the real-world history of Japan, which rose economically to become the world's number one investor after 1985, and extends an alternate "Showa Sixty-Six Years" (corresponding to the real-world year of 1991, that is, Heisei Three). By this time much of the United States had been bought by Japan, economically and culturally a Japanese colony, and had been turned into wasteland by the outbreak of the zombie plague. Players will take on the role of the resurrected girl Chikusa Butterfly, embark on an apocalyptic adventure in search of truth and revenge, and meet partners, overcome hardships and grow in the long journey.
As soon as the trailer was released, it caused extensive discussion among players from all over the world, and the overall wind evaluation was good, especially between Chinese and Japanese netizens, and even once topped the hot search list of Japan. At present, the release date of the game has not yet been determined, and it will be released by 2P Games from Chinese mainland and GSE from Hong Kong, China, and is expected to land on Steam and PS4/5 platforms.
About the developer Suzuku Games: Founded in 2011, with about 30 members and many experienced developers from Ubisoft China and EA, the cover image of the masterpiece "Dying: Rebirth Trial" has impressed many players.
According to the latest statistics, the global sales of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition in 2017 have approached 39 million copies. Many players think that Nintendo, which sits on such exaggerated data, is unlikely to release a new game in the "carriage" series in the short term, but the latest rumors do not think so.
In an article published by GamesIndustry, some game industry analysts predicted industry developments in 2022. Kantan Games' Serkan Toto said a new game for Mario Kart is currently in production and could be launched sometime this year. Last year there were also rumors that the new Mario Kart game has been in development for 3 years and could be released sometime in 2022.
In addition, Nintendo's uncle party LeakyPandy has also recently revealed several new games that may be released this year, including the sequel to the "Xenoblade" series, Crytek's "Rogue Squadron 4", and "Mario Kart 10" or "Mario Kart Crossroads" (tentative name) and "Piquemine" new works.
What is more confusing is that if the leaked information is true, then the two analysts are somewhat contradictory: the so-called "Mario Kart 9" should refer to the mobile game "Mario Kart Tour" that has been launched, so that the new work can be called the 10th game.
Meanwhile, Serkan Toto also predicted that Nintendo would release another developed game on its phones sometime this year. He said: "Since the release of the Mario Kart Tour in 2019, Nintendo has not had any new moves in the mobile phone space, but I think a classic IP will land on mobile devices this year. ”
There were also rumors that the Nintendo Face-to-Face would be held before February 17, and maybe we can learn about these new games at that time, otherwise we can only look forward to this year's E3.
Released in November, Battlefield 2042 was bombarded with bad reviews due to poor optimization and extremely low completion, and the Battlefield 2042 section of the Reddit forum was one of the main gathering places for angry players. However, for now, this section may be closed because there are too many trolls.
It all started with a tweet from Andy McNamara, one of EA's Star Wars and shooter community leaders. Players want DICE to fix countless problems in the game immediately, but studio members are enjoying the Christmas holidays at this time, so Andy defended studio members on Twitter that "people need to rest". However, the tweet further irritated disgruntled players, so Andy later deleted the tweet.
The tweet sparked a massive public opinion storm in Reddit's Battlefield 2042 section. There were many posts condemning Andy, EA, and DICE in the section, but the wording was much sharper than last November's, and even violated Reddit's user code.
This upset the administrators of Reddit's Battlefield 2042 section. They wrote in the announcement: "When this section is full of trolls, people can't discuss it." Everybody was spraying and verbalizing at each other, and it was really hurting the entire Battlefield community, and each of us. Everyone is obliged to comply with Reddit's user code. We'll do everything we can to reduce offensive speech, such as locking on posts, or simply banning them for a period of time, as was done in the previous Halo: Infinity section. ”
It's true that Battlefield 2042 was a disaster: some buildings didn't collide, they were littered with self-detonating drones and mud boats, and there were all sorts of frustrating bugs. It's normal for players to get frustrated with this situation, but it's unrealistic and cool to have DICE employees end their vacations right away and fix them. I also hope that the Reddit "Battlefield" section can calm down and not let this matter end in tragedy.
According to the British Mirror, the accounts of some well-known FIFA anchors and well-known trading players in the player circle have been washed by hackers in recent days, and the players and points in the accounts have been swept away by hackers.
The "FIFA" series has become a leader in sports games in recent years in the European and American markets, thanks in large part to the UT model it pioneered. Players can use this system to freely trade players, points and in-game items, which has led to many well-known "trading players" who continue to earn profits through the in-game virtual market like stock trading. The hack also targeted a large amount of wealth, and the value of items in many accounts can be as high as tens of thousands of pounds.
According to the report, the method of this large-scale number wash incident is quite simple. As long as the hacker knows the top user ID, EA account number or host-bound account in the trading market, he can pretend to be the player himself to convince the EA Help live chat customer service to reset the password.
At present, a large number of players who have suffered losses in this incident are ready to start legal procedures to protect their rights, and EA Sports has also responded, saying that it is investigating the incident.
PS: There have been rumors of ghosts within EA before, and this time the hackers have succeeded in using such a simple method, I'm afraid...
Tom Abernathy, former "Guild Wars 2" narrative director, recently tweeted that he has joined Bungie. Last year, Bungie announced that the team plans to launch a new IP by 2025, and even recruited a number of employees for this purpose, but it is not yet certain whether the current project is related to the Destiny series.
According to previous LinkedIn work lists, Bungie's next game is likely to be another multiplayer action game with real-time connectivity, serviceability, and in-game kryptonian elements, and they've been preparing for this project for years.
