Level-5 confirms Lady Layton for Western release in 2017, series hits 15.5 million
As one of Level-5’s masterpieces, the Professor Layton series of puzzle adventure games has sold more than 15.5 million units worldwide to date. Its newest official sequel, Lady Layton: The Millionaire Ariadone’s Conspiracy — available on Nintendo 3DS/Android/iOS — was announced to be released in Spring 2017 in Japan.
Not only will the main character switch from “Professor Layton” (Hershel Layton) to “Kat” (Katrielle Layton), many of its characters will be brand new. The story will focus less on dynamic problem-solving and more on solving multiple mystery cases observed in the everyday lives of Londoners, which will bring a faster tempo and more comical tone to the series. It will be more familiar — and funnier — than ever, while maintaining an adventurous quality. The creators of the puzzles and brain-teasers, the core element of the series, will also be new.
Please look forward to the new Professor Layton series, targeting a Western release in 2017.
由日本 SIE(索尼互动娱乐)为了推广手机游戏市场所成立,主要业务将会把 PS 系列人气作给搬到手机平台上推出的日本 ForwardWorks 公司,于今天在东京举办一场新作发表会「ForwardWorks Beginning」,并于会中正式发表一款与 Sony 共同合作的全新企划《Project Field》登场与玩家们见面!
由官方所发表的这款《Project Field》,为官方与 Sony 合作,活用 Sony 所开发的手机与平板、专用游戏板(会内建位置传感器、IC 芯片卡读取装置、LED、Bluetooth 蓝芽等各种功能,让玩家们能透过这个专用游戏板来读取卡牌内的游戏相关信息,并透过蓝芽等装置来跟手机连动进行游戏数据交换读取)等装置,来读取内藏 IC 芯片的卡片 ,藉此来进行手机/平板游戏,融合真实卡牌与手机游戏的全新平台气企画作品。
而据官方表示,这个游戏专用板除了可以读取放置在上面的卡牌信息传送到手机游戏内让玩家们来进行游戏执行对战之外,还可以针对卡牌的位置感应进行读取(例如可以判别卡牌横放或直放),藉此在游戏内发动该卡牌专属的「攻击」、「回避」或「必杀技发动」等各种动作。 附带一提,由于本作对应的 IC 芯片除了提供装置读取数据之外,也将对应数据的写入等双方面的连动,因此玩家们除了可以使用该张卡牌进行对战之外,也能将自己在对战中获得的经验值写入到卡牌内,藉此来提升该卡牌角色的等级能力,让该卡牌可以藉此获得成长,也让游戏乐趣更加提升许多!
