Yesterday evening, Nintendo uploaded a video about the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness, briefly showing some of the game's content, and the end of the series producer Eiji Aonuma announced that the game will be postponed to the spring of 2023.
In the video, Eiji Aonuma said: "Previously, the sequel to Zelda Legend: Breath of the Wilderness was scheduled to be released in 2022, but now after many considerations, we have decided to postpone the release window until spring 2023, for which we are deeply sorry. ”
Eiji Aonuma added: "As shown earlier, the story of the sequel to Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness will no longer be limited to the ground and the continent, and players can extend their adventures beyond the sky. And the world and map design of this game will be taken to a higher level, with richer gameplay and more romantic encounters waiting for you. In order to make the game experience more distinctive, our production team is also working it, so please wait a little longer. ”
Counting the first trailer for 2019, so far we have only seen a few video demonstrations that do not reveal much content, and we don't even know the official name of the game. A new patent registered by Nintendo last December shows that a new gameplay mechanic will be introduced in this game, including a "remote" mechanism that can cross the ground, a new free fall system and a "time rewind" mechanism.
After last year's E3 game show, Nintendo said that because the game's title contains hints about the main story, if announced in advance may involve spoilers, the official name of the sequel to Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness will be announced to everyone until the release of the game. In addition, Nintendo also said that although the sequel is based on the design of "Breath of the Wilderness", it will still be a stand-alone and complete "The Legend of Zelda" work.
Yesterday, Sony officially announced a new PlayStation Plus subscription service, which will be officially launched in June this year, providing membership services in three different grades.
The first show: The basic version enjoys the same benefits as the current PlayStation Plus members, including several free games per month for members, exclusive discounts, cloud storage space for saved games, online access for multiplayer online play, and existing PlayStation Plus members will automatically switch to the service. Hk Service Price: HK$ 48 per month / HK$ 128 per quarter / HK$ 308 per year.
The second file: the upgraded version, in addition to enjoying all the benefits of the basic version, the upgraded version will add a new game library containing more than 400 PS4/5 works, which will cover many best-selling works by PlayStation Studios and third-party partners, and the upgraded version members can download and play at any time. Hk Service Price: HK$ 75 per month / HK$ 215 per quarter / HK$ 515 per year.
Tier 3: Premium Edition, in addition to all the benefits of the Basic and Upgrade editions, the Premium Edition will add up to 240 additional games, including PS3 games via cloud streaming, and offer streaming and downloading options for classic games that were loved in the original PlayStation, PS2 and PSP generations. In addition, Premium Members will also receive a limited-time game trial service, which can be played before purchasing some games.
Since the PlayStation Now service is not available for Hk Service, the third service of HK Service is PlayStation Plus Premium.
Hong Kong Service PlayStation Plus Premium Edition also enjoys all the benefits of the basic and upgraded versions, does not provide PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, the price is slightly lower than the Premium Edition, but also provides the original PlayStation, PS2 and PSP generations of the classic game download and play, and provides a limited game demo service. Hk$ 85 per month / HK$ 239 per quarter / HK$ 599 per year.
In a recent interview with GamesIndustry, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan also talked about Sony's new subscription service, and although he also acknowledged the impact of the rapid development of the subscription model on the game industry, Jim Ryan still believes that multiplayer online service games will define the future of the game industry better than subscription services. Because such games will maintain user stickiness for a long time, this is more in line with the attributes of video games as a communication medium.
Jim Ryan said: "The importance of subscription services has certainly increased over the past few years. Take our PlayStation Plus subscribers, which have grown to 48 million from 2010 to now, which is obviously a force to be reckoned with, and I expect the number of Sony PlayStation Plus members to grow even further when our new subscription service goes live. But I still think that the medium of gaming is very different from music and video, and I think that the subscription services in the game industry are basically difficult to reach the level of Spotify and Netflix. ”
In addition, Jim Ryan once again emphasized Sony's emphasis on multiplayer online service-based games, saying: "There are a lot of successful multiplayer online service-based games now, and they are not limited to console games, in fact, this kind of game is itself a subscription service. I think this type of game is very much in line with the needs of modern players, no matter how much time they spend on the game, the cumulative investment month after month after month will greatly deepen the user stickiness. Multiplayer online service-based games have largely driven the tremendous growth that we've seen in the gaming industry over the last 10 years, and I think the momentum of these types of games will continue, and if you want to find the right sustainable model in the gaming industry that can support the long-term retention of user stickiness, the long-term renewal of so many-person online service-oriented games may be better suited to this need than subscription services. ”
Whether Sony's new subscription service will allow first-party games to join the free lineup on the day of launch is also a matter of great concern to players, Jim Ryan said: "We will not add Sony first-party games to the game library of the subscription service on the day of the launch, if you were also a PlayStation Plus member before, you must understand that this way has never been the idea of Sony to provide subscription services, so we still will not do this in the new subscription service." ”
Jim Ryan concluded, adding: "We think adding first-party games to the free-to-play library on launch day will break the virtuous circle of PlayStation's first-party studios. The huge development costs and excellent game quality invested by Sony's studios make it impossible for the first free to become a reality, because doing so will have a huge side effect on our games, and we believe that if the overall quality of the game is reduced because the first free is not what players want to see. ”
For us PC players, the worst news is the "price increase" of the PS Now service. PC players could have played exclusive games like Bloodborne through PS Now, and only the most upscale subscription services will be able to push streams in the future, with $17.99 (114) per month / $49.99 (318) per quarter / $119.99 (736) per year.
Now is a very contradictory period for PC players, in the past exclusive games can only be played on a specific platform, but now the game console has become an optional hardware product, PC players can pay a not cheap fee to play other platforms of "exclusive games"... There are more options, but also more confusion.
Nvidia has officially launched the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, the latest and possibly the last amperometric card of its generation. According to PCGAMER's test of the ASUS TUF RTX 3090Ti, the 3090Ti with more CUDA cores, higher frequencies and larger video memory can make the player's game frame rate 14% higher, but the price is as high as 1879 pounds (15645), and the high-end water-cooled version is about 2050 pounds (17068), an increase of 33% compared to the RTX 3090.
Higher personality also means greater consumption, with the RTX 3090Ti reaching a staggering 492W at its maximum power, and the higher-end OC models can sometimes reach 510W. It seems that the recommended specifications of 1000W power do have his own reason, I don't know if the RTX 40 series and AMD's new graphics card launched at the end of this year can bring us new surprises.
Recently, Call of Duty: Vanguard player Kenji tried to broadcast his game live to prove that he did not cheat in previous tournaments, but this move confirmed that he was a cheater.
Kenji defeated rivals ImSasukee and iLuhvly in a 2v2 duel, after which opponents objected and asked to watch Kenji's live footage. Kenji sent the video out to try to prove his innocence, but checkmate immediately noticed that Kenji's first perspective would display a floating matrix (with perspective turned on), which allowed Kenji to easily track their tracks on the map.
Kenji has earned nearly $4,000 from participating in Call of Duty tournaments since the end of 2020, but this cheat will prevent him from participating in the college leagues that follow, and it will also burden four other teammates.
