The Behemoth's Game 4 Debut Teaser
《城堡毁灭者(Castle Crashers)》开发商新作《Game 4》预告片公开

　　以开发经典独立游戏《城堡毁灭者》和《战斗砖块剧场》的Behemoth曾在2014年4月公开了他们的XBOX One新作《Game 4》，虽然自公开这款新作以来他们就未曾放出任何新情报，不过日前他们终于公开了本作的首段预告片。光从这段预告片中很难看出这是一款什么样的游戏，不过官方计划在即将举行PAX Prime中提供游戏的试玩版，相信届时大家就又机会了解这款新作了。那么接下来就请玩家们一起来欣赏本作的预告影像吧。

   

First Look at Game 4!

What’s this?? Game 4 is upon us!!

Shortly before the release of BattleBlock Theater we started working on something new. We schemed up a bunch of concepts and picked our strongest one. From there we fleshed out the lone survivor prototype!!! As it grew stronger and stronger, we polished it, furnished it with delights, and added (gluten free?) sprinkles. Yes, as the chicken dictates, this game is of a genre we haven’t covered before and seek to breathe a new flavor into. Maybe you can find a hint in the video below about which genre it is??

What we’ve ended up with is something we are all very proud of. I am confident you’ll get a kick out of this one. So we’ve decided to bring it to PAX Prime — and you can play it! As usual we’ll want your feedback to steer the process. I cannot wait to show you guys what we’ve got!

Until that time, please enjoy the introduction video to this grand and mysterious adventure………. Stay tuned for more info at PAX Prime Booth 3003!!!

PS4热销必须感谢Xbox One

   就如大家所知道的索尼旗下次世代主机PS4销量已经超过1000万，而微软家里的Xbox One至卖出了500万。对于这样的结果索尼全球工作室总裁吉田修平都非常吃惊。日前美国《福布斯》杂志给出了全新的观点，他们表示PS4的热销必须感谢Xbox One。

   PlayStation 4之所以热销，一定程度上源于竞争对手Xbox One的贡献。正是由于这两款游戏机发布时间接近，才使得它们共同赢得了媒体的广泛关注。但在这一过程中，Xbox One的任何一点失误，都是在变相给PlayStation 4打广告。

   以下为文章主要内容：

   我们之前采访索尼全球工作室总裁吉田修平时，一直希望想询问一个问题：PlayStation 4何以如此热销？这款游戏机上市以来的销量已经超过1000万台，令人印象极其深刻，甚至连索尼自己都感到有些不知所措。如果无法理解现状，又怎么能预测未来？

   埃里克·凯恩(Erik Kain)之前撰文称，PlayStation 4之所以能够赢得玩家的青睐，恰恰得益于它的平淡无奇：在他看来，核心游戏市场并不想参与微软和任天堂的实验，只是想要一台平淡无奇，功能简单的游戏机。这恰恰是索尼的产品特点。

   马克·罗格维斯基(Mark Rogowsky)则提到了一些不同的因素，例如，PlayStation 4的售价更低，而且之前较长的产品生命周期积累了压抑的需求。我在最近的文章中也谈到了苹果是如何促使我们更愿意花钱升级电子产品的，以及崇尚简约的PlayStation是如何将新技术与身份的象征结合在一起的。

   这一切都还没有定论，但现在又出现了一种新的说法：PlayStation 4的热销得益于它的主要竞争对手Xbox One。

   每当你讨论PlayStation 4的成功时，最终都难免会批评一下微软，对Xbox One的发布过程中遭遇的种种错误展开一番分析。这番评论未必与PlayStation 4自身有关，但却可以将PlayStation 4塑造成Xbox One的完美替代品，同时凸显出Xbox One的糟糕状况。

   对索尼和微软来说，这是一个“二进制市场”，一款产品的成功势必与另一款产品的失败有关。当然，任天堂有时也会加入战局。

   我在马萨诸塞州西部的一个小镇长大，那里与纽约和波士顿的距离几乎相等。所以，当地的棒球迷划分成两个阵营，有的人支持波士顿红袜队，有的人支持纽约扬基队。我是红袜队的粉丝。但更重要的是，我憎恨洋基队。

   虽然Xbox One的失误未必能够全面解释PlayStation的成功，但“游戏机大战”的确在这两套系统的相对成功中扮演了重要角色。在Xbox One出现失误时，索尼自然会从中受益，获得远好于预期的成功。

   除此之外，这场游戏机大战的广受关注也起到了一定的影响。Xbox One vs. PlayStaion 4已经成了整个行业的头条新闻，吸引了所有人的关注。而当索尼的吸引力更加明确时，自然也会为PlayStation 4加分。每当Xbox One面临考验时，都在变相给PlayStation 4打广告。

   作为对比，我们可以想想Wii U。这款产品发布时没有遭遇任何竞争对手，因而也就引不起市场的兴趣。

   需要注意的是，Xbox One与之前的几代游戏机相比表现不错，但PlayStation 4的成功仍是一大威胁。这场游戏机大战也给微软带来了利益。但索尼却恰到好处地利用了Xbox One的所有缺点，最终给自己带来了好处。等到今年1月上市时，哪怕货架上摆着一台Xbox One，都足以提醒人们，PlayStation 4是多么一机难求。

   两款游戏机在短时间内集中发布，在游戏机历史上实属罕见，今后再次出现这种情况的概率也不会太大。可惜的是，由此产生的关注也不会持续太久。但对索尼来说，幸运的在于，等到这阵浪潮过后，他们或许将拥有足够的游戏来继续吸引玩家。

Official: Amazon Acquires Twitch for $970M
Amazon 确认收购线上直播平台Twitch 交易金额达287 亿台币

　　今（26）日稍早，直播平台Twitch 执行长Emmett Shear 在官网宣布公司正式被电子商务网站Amazon 并购，粉碎了先前传出将会被Google 并购的传言。据了解本次收购金额高达美金9.7 亿（约折合台币287 亿元）。
 
　　由线上直播平台Justin.tv 的共同创办人Justin Kan 与Emmett Shear 共同创办的Twitch 成立于2011 年6 月，在约三年的这段期间，Twitch 透过拥抱电玩社群而展现了惊人的成长速度，目前每月约有5500 万的访客与100 万名直播主在线上使用Twitch 平台直播PC、手机与电视游乐器等平台的游戏。
 
　　Amazon 执行长Jeff Bezos 针对此一事件对外指出：「线上直播游戏已经是一股全球热潮，而作为直播平台的Twitch 成功地吸引了数以千万计的玩家，在每个月透过网路串流观看了数以亿分钟计的直播画面，惊奇的是Twitch 仅仅只花了三年的时间就达成了这样的成就！」Jeff Bezos 强调，Twitch 与Amazon 一样都是喜爱思考并拥抱不同事物的公司， Amazon 往后将从Twitch 团队身上汲取经验，并帮助他们更快速地为游戏社群打造更快速、有趣的平台与服务。
 
　　Twitch 执行长Emmett Shear 则是表示：「我们选择Amazon，是因其相信我们的社群，并与Twitch 共享长期目标与愿景，同时他们也承诺将会帮助我们更快速地成长。Twitch 的一切将不会有太多改变，包括公司的办公室、职员以及品牌，此外更重要的则是我们将继续保持独立性。我相信有了Amazon 的帮助，我们将有更多资源为玩家带来更好的Twitch 。」



Amazon.com to Acquire Twitch

Amazon.com today announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Twitch Interactive, the leading live video platform for gamers. In July, more than 55 million unique visitors viewed more than 15 billion minutes of content on Twitch produced by more than 1 million broadcasters, including individual gamers, pro players, publishers, developers, media outlets, conventions and stadium-filling esports organizations.

“Broadcasting and watching gameplay is a global phenomenon and Twitch has built a platform that brings together tens of millions of people who watch billions of minutes of games each month – from The International, to breaking the world record for Mario, to gaming conferences like E3. And, amazingly, Twitch is only three years old,” said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com. “Like Twitch, we obsess over customers and like to think differently, and we look forward to learning from them and helping them move even faster to build new services for the gaming community.”

“Amazon and Twitch optimize for our customers first and are both believers in the future of gaming,” said Twitch CEO Emmett Shear. “Being part of Amazon will let us do even more for our community. We will be able to create tools and services faster than we could have independently. This change will mean great things for our community, and will let us bring Twitch to even more people around the world.”

Twitch launched in June 2011 to focus exclusively on live video for gamers. Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by Twitch’s shareholders, Amazon will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Twitch for approximately $970 million in cash, as adjusted for the assumption of options and other items. Subject to customary closing conditions, the acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2014.

A Letter from the Twitch's CEO – August 25, 2014

It’s almost unbelievable that slightly more than 3 years ago, Twitch didn’t exist. The moment we launched, we knew we had stumbled across something special. But what followed surprised us as much as anyone else, and the impact it’s had on both the community and us has been truly profound.

Your talent, your passion, your dedication to gaming, your memes, your brilliance – these have made Twitch what it is today. Every day, we strive to live up to the standard set by you, the community. We want to create the very best place to share your gaming and life online, and that mission continues to guide us.

Together with you, we’ve found new ways of connecting developers and publishers with their fans. We’ve created a whole new kind of career that lets people make a living sharing their love of games. We’ve brought billions of hours of entertainment, laughter, joy and the occasional ragequit. I think we can all call that a pretty good start.

Today, I’m pleased to announce we’ve been acquired by Amazon. We chose Amazon because they believe in our community, they share our values and long-term vision, and they want to help us get there faster. We’re keeping most everything the same: our office, our employees, our brand, and most importantly our independence. But with Amazon’s support we’ll have the resources to bring you an even better Twitch.

I personally want to thank you, each and every member of the Twitch community, for what you’ve created. Thank you for putting your faith in us. Thank you for sticking with us through growing pains and stumbles. Thank you for bringing your very best to us and sharing it with the world. Thank you, from a group of gamers who never dreamed they’d get to help shape the face of the industry that we love so much.

It’s dangerous to go alone. On behalf of myself and everyone else at Twitch, thank you for coming with us.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze

We’re slicing up the first details for Activision Publishing, Inc.’s new video game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze, a side-scrolling action-adventure video game which bridges the gap between season 2 and season 3 of Nickelodeon’s popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated programme. Blending classic 2D fighting and platforming gameplay with the 3D art direction of the TV series, this new title from developer WayForward Technologies will launch for the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, Sony’s PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Nintendo 3DS hand-held system later this year.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze brings together new locations, allies and threats! The game quickly heats up as Shredder, Tiger Claw and a new army of mutants threaten the streets of New York, forcing Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo to take action into their own hands. The game’s distinguishing feature is its vast, interconnected, non-linear game world, which rewards exploration and creative thinking. Powers, upgrades and equipment scattered across New York and Dimension X opens up new environments to traverse, secrets to discover and bosses to battle.

All four Turtles can be swapped between freely throughout the adventure and each has its own unique rhythm, with specialised stats, strengths and skills. Combat is fast-paced, emphasising the gang’s martial arts prowess through attack and item combos, counters and finishers but also provides tools for stealth-based approaches to avoid or tackle enemies.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze is expected to emerge in Autumn 2014 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo 3DS.
