Nintendo skips E3 press conferences, announces Nintendo Digital Event
任天堂确认E3“数字大会”将于6月11日0点开始
Play Nintendo: New Games, New Events and Live, Nonstop Programming on Tap for E3 2014
Over the last few years, Nintendo has repeatedly reinvented its approach to E3 by creating unique ways to break news and get fans at home involved in the fun, while also offering great experiences for on-site attendees. That mission continues in 2014 as Nintendo offers a series of new channels to communicate news directly to its key audiences, including fans, media, analysts, investors and business partners. This includes a new format for unveiling news: the Nintendo Digital Event; a Super Smash Bros. tournament; a full slate of live, in-depth game demos from the Nintendo booth; and an opportunity for fans to play Super Smash Bros. for Wii U for the first time at their local Best Buy.
“We demonstrated last year that we are never afraid to reinvent a proven tactic or to break completely new ground if we believe it will provide the best experience for our fans, followers and partners,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America’s president and chief operating officer. “So, whether you’re attending E3 in person or joining online, there’s an amazing lineup of games, experiences and events coming your way.”
At E3 2014, Nintendo will offer four unique experiences, all under the unifying banner of “Play Nintendo.”
• Super Smash Bros. Invitational
2014 will see the arrival of not one, but two new Super Smash Bros. games: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. To commemorate this occasion, Nintendo is inviting 16 highly skilled Super Smash Bros. players to the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles to compete in a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament. Thousands of fans in the audience and countless more watching a live stream online will see new Super Smash Bros. characters clash with existing favorites in action for the first time. More important than declaring a winner, however, this event is a celebration of all things Super Smash Bros., and a great way for new and veteran fans to take part in a tribute to this legendary franchise. More information about the 16 invited participants in the tournament, the identity of the announcers, and how fans of the franchise can view the tournament in person and via webcast, will be communicated shortly.
• Nintendo Digital Event
Every year, Nintendo looks for the best way to show its games and share its news with fans, media and other key audiences. In 2013, Nintendo decided to forgo a traditional press conference and use a video – in that case a Nintendo Direct – to share its news from E3. The company is building on that approach at E3 2014 with the “Nintendo Digital Event,” a new kind of video program that will reveal and provide further detail about the gaming experiences on the way for Nintendo platforms in 2014 and beyond. The Nintendo Digital Event will air at 9 a.m. PT on Tuesday, June 10.
This year, Nintendo will offer fans a deeper look at Nintendo’s biggest games of E3, with information directly from the source. The “Treehouse,” the Product Development department at Nintendo of America, will provide in-depth game demos live and unscripted from Nintendo’s booth. This new program will be live streamed during all hours of the E3 show. Fans can get settled in, open their browsers and experience the Nintendo games at E3 like never before.
• Super Smash Bros. Smash Fest @ Best Buy
In 2013, Nintendo broke new ground by expanding its E3 activities outside of the walls of the Los Angeles Convention Center and letting fans play some of the games being played on the show floor at participating Best Buy stores. The partnership between Nintendo and Best Buy continues in 2014 and will mark the first time around the world that fans have had the opportunity to get their hands on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
More details about each event, including dates, times, locations and game content will be revealed shortly. To follow all of Nintendo’s E3 activities, keep an eye on Nintendo’s Facebook page, Twitter feed and YouTube channel. Or visit e3.nintendo.com.
Nintendo Announces Pokémon Art Academy for 3DS, Launches June 19 in Japan
任天堂公布《口袋妖怪》新作 6月19日发售
Red Barrels在Facebook上面介绍说,“《告密者》中玩家将会扮演一位软件工程师Waylon Park,受雇于Murkoff向全世界的记者发送新闻邮件(包括原作主角Miles)。在不被允许和家人说话的情况下,Waylon和家人一起在Mount Massive度过了难熬的几周,并开始对这帮利益至上的科学家和医生产生了极大的不信任。Waylon决定亲自解开Mount Massive的腐化核心。”
《告密者》是原作的前传性质的DLC,将会解开原作中的一些遗留问题。
Outlast: Whistleblower Coming to Terrify You Again on May 6
Independent game development studio Red Barrels today revealed that Outlast: Whistleblower, the first DLC for the critically-acclaimed, widely-feared survival horror title Outlast, will be available to download on PC and PlayStation 4 for $8.99 on May 6, 2014. Taking gamers back to Mount Massive Asylum, the hell on earth that over 2 million players explored in the first game, Outlast: Whistleblower will again challenge their sense of safety and comfort as they encounter firsthand the corporate conspiracies and deranged experiments that led to the blood-soaked halls original protagonist Miles Upshur faced.
About Outlast: Whistleblower
Outlast: Whistleblower follows the story of Waylon Park, the software engineer under contract with the Murkoff Corporation who emails journalists around the world - including Miles Upshur - at the beginning of Outlast.
Players meet Waylon a few weeks into his time at Mount Massive, during which he has been unable to even contact his wife and son thanks to strict security protocols. Having developed a deep-seated distrust of the profit-motivated scientists and doctors leading dangerous and irresponsible experiments on their patients, Waylon ends up setting events in motion that lead to the unmasking of Mount Massive's rotten core.
Whistleblower starts the story that led to Outlast, and stretches past the events of the first game to show the true final chapter in the story of Mount Massive Asylum.
《情热传说(Tales of Zestiria)》是传说系列的20周年纪念作,游戏将登录PS3平台,发售日期与售价尚未公布。之前在NICONICO超会议3的直播节目中公开了本作第二弹PV宣传视频,日前官网更新放出了这段影像的高清正式版,展示了目前公开的全部角色及“Fusionic ChainーLMBS”战斗系统,下面来欣赏一下吧!
The Walking Dead: Season Two - Episode 3 'In Harm’s Way' First Screens
The Walking Dead: Season Two - Episode 3 'In Harm’s Way' 1st Screens Revealed
Fellow survivors,
Today we would like to share the first official screenshots for 'In Harm's Way,' the next episode of The Walking Dead: Season Two - A Telltale Games Series.
We are nearing the release of this next episode and anticipate that we will soon be able to confirm release dates for PC/Mac, console, mobile, tablet and additional handheld devices via digital distribution in the very near future. Please stay tuned to @telltalegames on twitter for the first news and details on release dates as this information becomes available.
The Attack on Titan 3DS Game May Come to North America
A source at Spike Chunsoft has revealed to Siliconera that the company is looking to bring their Attack on Titan game for the Nintendo 3DS to North America, and has been searching for a publishing partner to do so.
Attack on Titan was released in December 2013 in Japan. The game sold 93,000 copies in its first week and sold out very quickly after that at retail stores. Over the next several weeks, Spike Chunsoft continued to ship additional copies of the game, with demand constantly outweighing supply.
By February 2014, the game had sold over 240,000 copies copies at retail—and we imagine even more when counting download copies, due to the short supply in retail stores.
《机动战士高达外传合集》是BNGI(Bandai Namco Games Inc.)所推出的PS3新作,游戏预计将于2014年5月29日发售。日前官方更新了游戏的官方网站,放出了一段长达9分钟的新PV影像,除了介绍本作中故事模式和VR任务这两种不同的游戏模式外,还展示了相当多的实际游戏片段,下面就请大家一起来欣赏一下。
本作普通版售价为8208日元,而限定版售价则为14893日元。本作除了包含此前公开的系列最新作《机动战士高达外传:失落之链》外,还将收录过去外传系列中的《蓝色命运》、《殖民地坠落之地》、《Lost War Chronicles》、《宇宙、闪光的尽头》和《吉翁前线》5部作品,并且会以最新作的系统为基础进行高清重制。
Neversoft to be absorbed into Infinity Ward
开发商Infinity Ward即将与Neversoft合并
Call of Duty 系列的开发商Infinity Ward是一家非常有实力的工作室,而现在这家游戏工作室似乎将会得到进一步的强化。根据最新的报道,Neversoft将会并入Infinity Ward,介意打造出一家“超级工作室”。
根据国外媒体Giant Bomb的报道,动视的CEO Eric Hirshberg发送的一份备忘录已被泄露,这份备忘录显示Neversoft和Infinity Ward将被合并为一个工作室,并且提到这次合并将会是一个“明智的选择”。
Infinity Ward, Neversoft Merging into Single "Super Studio"
Call of Duty: Ghosts developer Infinity Ward is about to get a serious shakeup. Giant Bomb can report the developer is merging with former Tony Hawk's Pro Skater developer Neversoft, who actually helped Infinity Ward out with the development of its last major shooter.
The news was disclosed through a very recent internal memo penned by Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, that was obtained by Giant Bomb.
The newly merged studio will still be called Infinity Ward.
"As you know, Neversoft and Infinity Ward teamed up for the development of Call of Duty: Ghosts," wrote Hirshberg. "And through that process, it became clear that the two studios have very complementary skill sets. Between these two excellent studios, it seemed like a single 'super-studio' could emerge."
As a result, however, the Neversoft name will be retired.
"The impact of their 20-year run of hard work and success cannot be overstated," said Hirshberg. "As already mentioned, we are merging these two very talented teams and obviously had to choose a name for the combined studio. Since the Infinity Ward brand is indelibly tied to the Call of Duty franchise, it is the sensible choice. While it will be strange to not see the Neversoft logo on future games, the important things--which are the Neversoft team’s talent, creativity, professionalism and commitment to creative excellence--all remain unchanged as part of this new chapter."
Dave Stohl, currently the executive VP of worldwide studios for Activision, has been assigned to lead this new studio. Stohl has been at Activision for nearly 19 years, and has overseen dramatic changes to Infinity Ward in the past. The current studio head, Steve Ackrich, will remain at Infinity Ward in a leadership role.
There are big changes happening at Neversoft due to the transition, as well. Studio head Joel Jewett and studio director Scott Pease, who have both been at the company for more than 20 years, "have made the difficult decision to retire" from games.
"As a gamer, all I can say is that I hope both Joel and Scott come of 'out of retirement' someday and develop more great Activision games for us all to play," said Hirshberg. "As a colleague of Joel and Scott’s, all I can say is thank you and congratulations on an incredible run."
Jewett and Pease will remain part of Neversoft during the studio's transition, but are expected to leave later this year.
While no new game is mentioned in the memo, it's expected Infinity Ward will continue to develop Call of Duty games. With Sledgehammer Games now part of the development rotation, each of Activision's developers--Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games--has more time to make the next iteration. Given the tepid reaction to Call of Duty: Ghosts, this seems like the right call for the studio.
"I am very much looking forward to what the new Infinity Ward will deliver in the near future," said Hirshberg.
Activision did not respond to my request for official comment. Then again, it is Saturday morning.

《英雄傳說 閃之軌跡》香港发布会&专访官方九分钟集锦
《英雄传说 闪之轨迹》的制作人近藤季洋于4月22日亲身来港,在Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong举办的发布会上宣布即将推出《英雄传说 闪之轨迹I & II》的繁体中文版,而将于今年9月25日推出的《英雄传说 闪之轨迹II》更加是和日本同步发售。 PlayStation Blog把握机会与近藤先生进行了独家访问,谈谈创作《轨迹》系列的灵感何来等製作游戏背后的小故事;还有为甚么《轨迹》系列的角色总是由日本着名的配音员声演,星光熠熠?马上听听近藤先生和香港机迷打招呼吧:
本周五也就是2014年5月9日Spiders工作室的最新作《火焰骑士(Bound by Flame)》就要登陆PS4、PS3、XBOX360和PC平台,发行方也与今天发布了最后一弹预告片,预告片的音乐由该游戏音乐原声作者Olivier Derivière亲自操刀,他还为《刺客信条》和《勿忘我》等游戏创作音乐。
Bound by Flame will be available on Friday! So to celebrate the week of the game launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, here's a final teaser video of the most ambitious RPG from Spiders studio: a launch trailer with music by Olivier Derivière (Assassin's Creed, Remember Me), who has created an original Bound by Flame soundtrack that is thrilling and sublime.
This latest Bound by Flame video highlights one of the important elements in the game, the background story and the gameplay: the relationship between the hero and the flame demon that possesses him. The choices and decisions you make in the game will determine if you allow your demonic side to predominate and gradually transform you physically in exchange for his powerful fire magic, or if you resist the demon's control and retain your humanity to develop your heroic skills.
Your human/demon duality will have a notable impact not only on your approach to the extremely tactical combat in the game, but also on the reaction of the people around you, particularly your relationship with your companions. It is therefore a central component in Bound by Flame that will influence your game experience depending on your choices and also assure gameplay longevity: players who want to try every possible way of progressing through the adventure are sure to start the game again to make totally different decisions from the first time!
Bound by Flame will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC on May 9, 2014.
《边境之地传说(Tales from the Borderlands)》是Gearbox和《行尸走肉》开发商Telltale Games进行合作的一款新作,是一款按章节发售的游戏。本作于2013年VGX上正式公开,而游戏的对应平台至今仍未确定。不过日前官方放出了本作的首批截图,主要展示了Rhys和Fiona等登场人物,下面就请玩家们一起来欣赏一下。
'Tales from the Borderlands' Revealed in 1st Screenshots from Telltale Games and Gearbox Software
Listen, kiddos...
Today we would like to release the first ever screenshots from our upcoming episodic game series, Tales from the Borderlands, premiering for download later this summer.
In the first round of screenshots, players get a closer look at the upcoming series set on Pandora AFTER the events of the critically-acclaimed Borderlands 2 from Gearbox Software and 2K Games.
Featuring two playable characters, the story is told from two unique perspectives that will alternate as the story progresses. These characters include Rhys, a scheming, low-level data-miner within Hyperion who's plotting his own grand ambitions; and Fiona, a clever and classic fast-talking con-artist born and raised on Pandora out to pull off the grift of a lifetime.
While they themselves aren't vault hunters, both Rhys and Fiona will also come across vault hunters such as Zer0 and other characters from the world of Borderlands 2 throughout the series, as all events in Tales from the Borderlands will be part of the official Borderlands story canon.
Adam Sarasohn, Producer on Tales from the Borderlands has also offered additional details on the series on the Official PlayStation Blog this morning.
Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Games Series will be published digitally by Telltale Games in partnership with Gearbox Software and 2K Games.
PS4/PS3/PSV正在发售中创意游戏《声音与形态》近日再推出两款DLC“管乐声音包(Brass Sound Pack)”和“自然图像包(Nature Art Pack)”,价格均为0.99美元。其中前者还包含5个新的奖杯。
New Sound Shapes DLC Out Today on PS4, PS3, and PS Vita
Hey Shapers! It’s been two years since Sound Shapes originally launched on PS3 and PS Vita, and less than a year since its debut on PS4 (Pretty awesome on PS4, eh?). So first we want to THANK YOU for your continued support of Sound Shapes. It’s amazing to see all of the great levels that the community has made. The creativity is really mind blowing to see.
At its basic level, our community of players has turned simple shapes like this:
…into AMAZING levels that look like this:
So today we’re releasing two new DLC packs across PS4, PS3, and PS Vita:
Brass Sound Pack — $0.99
This sound pack features a ton of brass horn sounds and loops to jazz/funk/groove up your levels, and includes 5 new Beat School levels and Trophies. Nature Art Pack — $0.99
This graphics pack features surfaces and background decorations with a nature theme. Things like trees, plants, flowers, clouds, sun, and more.
God of War defined the word “epic” like no other when it debuted on PS2 in 2005, introducing an iconic character to PlayStation fans worldwide — Kratos. Once the servant of Ares (who saved the Spartan General and his army from annihilation in battle), Kratos was tricked into murdering his family, forcing his metamorphosis into the “Ghost of Sparta.” Now, chained by the Blades of Chaos, Kratos unlocks the memories of his past, seeking redemption for his sins and vengeance against Ares, the God of War.
This is where the story of Kratos begins, a saga in which players will encounter a skyscraper-sized Leviathan, explore a twisted temple on the back of a massive Titan, decimate enemies with 100 hit combos with the mighty Blades of Chaos, and discover gaming moments that will stay with them forever.
I’ll personally never forget “I am what the Gods have made me!” I’d like to think that line alone inspired a generation of gamers.
Now, it’s time to bring the legacy of God of War and God of War II to PS Vita, so that no matter where you are, you all can experience the two epic adventures that blasted the action gaming genre on PlayStation straight to Olympus.
God of War Collection for PS Vita brings the same level of full control to Vita. We’ve also added touchscreen control enhancements to environmental weapon interactions like catapults and opening doors, which happens to work great for opening chests as well. As you would hope, the same genre-defining graphics, gameplay, and narrative are a powerful experience on PS Vita, for those new to the franchise or those turning back the clock to play it again. Kitchen, bathroom, train, bus, a grassy field, the beach, at work, family dinner, backyard… wherever you are, Kratos will follow.
As an added bonus, if you purchase God of War Collection for PS Vita system via PlayStation Store, you’ll get the PS3 version for free via cross buy (and vice-versa).
Legions of fans worldwide have embraced Kratos and the God of War franchise and literally put our Santa Monica Studio on the map. We bow down to you and implore fans and newcomers alike to experience the God of War franchise on PS Vita — it’s one of many reasons to get one!
《战神:登天之路(God of War Ascension)》是索尼圣莫妮卡工作室在2013年春推出的PS3游戏,因为该作不是系列的正统续作,而是一款前传,所以坊间《战神4》的叫法不算科学, 本作讲述奎托斯的成为战神之前和统帅斯巴达军之前的故事,时间设定为被设计愚弄杀害自己妻儿的6个月后,奎托斯和复仇三姐妹被一同判处疯狂的罪孽,囚禁在为泰坦打造的牢笼之中。之后他就时刻与疯狂抗争,竭尽所能打破牢笼和束缚,去找阿瑞斯报杀妻灭子之仇。
Risen 3: Titan Lords coming August 12 from Deep Silver and Piranha Bytes

RPG and fantasy gamers who have been yearning for a true classic European role-playing game can pre-order the game today for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Last week we announced the release date for PS4’s first socially connected racing game – Driveclub.
The response we’ve seen to the trailer is seriously overwhelming, and it’s time for some more news.
Welcome to the first of three Driveclub updates this week. Driveclub PlayStation Plus Edition has been a hot topic since its announce, so today’s video (the first of three) should answer most of your questions about the actual content included in this edition compared to the Blu-ray version.
One of the recurring questions we keep seeing is about the scale of the PlayStation Plus Edition. The simple answer is that with an active PlayStation Plus subscription, you can download Driveclub PlayStation Plus Edition, which comes with one location (India), 11 tracks, 10 cars and access to all game modes.
But why did we choose to offer this particular selection of the game to PlayStation Plus subscribers for free?
Driveclub is inherently next gen. It’s about accessibility for all and building a community of gamers who love online play. Driveclub PlayStation Plus Edition is designed to be a quick and easy way for gamers all over the world to join the Driveclub community. You can take part in all the game modes, set, send and compete in challenges, and race online against others in the Driveclub community.
We think you’ll have a lot of fun playing Driveclub once it launches on October 7th, digitally via the PlayStation store and on Blu-ray at your local retailer. If you’re an active PlayStation Plus subscriber and have been playing the PlayStation Plus Edition, but decide you want the full Driveclub experience, you can purchase a one-time upgrade for $49.99. This will give you access to all five locations, 55 tracks, 50 cars and all 50 tour events, as long as your PlayStation Plus subscription remains active.
If you’re not an active PlayStation Plus member, you can still get Driveclub via the PlayStation Store or your local retailer on Blu-ray.
Stay tuned because there’s more content coming tomorrow with the ‘Clubs’ video, explaining why they’re crucial to making Driveclub distinctly different.
Friday’s episode is all about challenges – why we love ‘em, what they give you and importantly, how they’ll make the game infinitely more networked and fun to play in your Club.
We’ve been grateful to our fans for the wonderful response to our recent launch of The Elder Scrolls Online for PC/Mac, but we know many of you are eagerly waiting to play the game on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
We continue to work on the console versions of ESO, and game development has been progressing steadily, but we are still working to solve a series of unique problems specific to those platforms. Integrating our systems with each console manufacturer’s networks -- which are both different from the PC/Mac system as well as different from each other—has been a challenging process. It has become clear that our planned June release of the console versions isn’t going to be possible. Though we have made great progress, we have concluded that we’ll need about six months to ensure we deliver the experience our fans expect and deserve.
We know that the news of an ESO console delay is as disappointing to many of you as it is to us. We want to do what we can to make it up to our fans who want to start playing now, so we have worked out the following arrangement with Sony and Microsoft:
Via a special offer, anyone who purchases and plays the PC/Mac version of The Elder Scrolls Online by the end of June will have the opportunity to transfer their character(s) to either console version when they are released. The offer will allow you to begin playing immediately on the PC/Mac, and then add the PS4 or Xbox One version and transfer the character(s) you have created and developed. And, you don’t have to pay full price for the game twice. For $20, eligible PC and Mac players will have the option to add a full, digital version of ESO on either the PS4 or the Xbox One with your character transfer(s), and another 30 days of included game time.
Whether you decide to take advantage of this offer or not, we promise to do everything we can to get the game released on both consoles as quickly as we can. We will keep everyone updated with additional details regarding character transfers, specific offer dates, when you can expect console beta to start, and of course, when ESO on consoles will launch.

Upper One Games and E-Line Media Release Game Trailer for Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)
Upper One Games, the first indigenous video game company in the U.S., today unveiled additional details about its upcoming debut title, Never Alone (also known as "Kisima Ingitchuna" in Iñupiaq, a language of the Alaska Native people in the Arctic) - highlighted by the release of its first game trailer, available here: neveralonegame.com. Never Alone is expected to launch in the fall of this year as a downloadable title for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with a SRP of $14.99.
In Never Alone, players take on the roles of Nuna, a young Iñupiaq girl and an Arctic fox, in an atmospheric puzzle platformer that combines traditional folklore, stories, settings, and characters handed down over many generations by Alaska Native people whose roots and heritage date back millennia. Featuring imagery and themes drawn directly from Iñupiat and other Alaska Native cultures, Never Alone features striking visuals, emphasizes the sensibilities and perspective of these indigenous Arctic people and requires players to work cooperatively to succeed in challenging and harsh environments.
Upper One Games joined forces with E-Line Media, a leading publisher of games that engage and empower, to assemble a unique development team that partners Iñupiaq elders and storytellers with game industry veterans who have served in key roles on such popular titles as Interstate '76, MechWarrior II, Tomb Raider: Underworld, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Tomb Raider: Legend, the SOCOM series, Rage, Quake Live, and many more titles across console and PC.
"We're extremely proud and excited to be building a truly unique game," said Gloria O'Neill, president and CEO of Upper One Games and Cook Inlet Tribal Council. "We'd like to think we're creating one of the most authentic – and fun – games of the year. Video games are powerful tools for making the history, tradition and culture of indigenous peoples relevant to both the next generation of Native people and the rest of the world."
"This is the most personally rewarding project I've worked on in twenty years of designing video games," said Sean Vesce, chief creative officer of E-Line Media. "Alaska Native mythology and culture is incredibly rich and translates remarkably well to making an amazingly fun experience for all audiences."
Top Level Features of Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) include
• 1- and 2-player modes, both involving cooperative play (in single-player mode, the player can switch between the roles of Nuna and Fox at any time);
• 8 sweeping chapters that take players across treacherous ice floes, Arctic tundra, ice caves, boreal forests, cliff-built coastal villages, and more;
• Game story, settings, characters and gameplay inspired by traditional Iñupiaq folklore, including the story of Kunuuksaayuka (Koo-nook-sah-yoo-ka) that has been handed down for generations among the Iñupiaq people;
• Encounters with traditional Alaska Native folklore characters such as Manslayer, Blizzard Man, Sky People, the Little People and the Rolling Heads;
• Exclusive unlockable insights into the Iñupiaq way of life, told by both Alaska Native elders and youth.
Upper One Games is an initiative launched by Cook Inlet Tribal Council (CITC) in Anchorage, Alaska and its development and publishing partner E-Line Media of New York. The goal of the partnership is to create unique and innovate game experiences that explore and extend global cultures in fresh, vibrant ways by weaving timeless living stories into dynamic and fun games.
