自从Xbox360推出打响次世代主机战後,Blizzard是否会将 WOW投入
家用主机市场,成为业界值得注目的焦点.作为目前世界上最多人在
线游玩与最大社群之一的游戏,暴风雪将其移植至家用主机的考虑不
是性能与获利,而是他们对於自创网路平台的高度要求与信心.
以Battle.net成功且可靠的PC网路架构与经验积累,Blizzard在每次
WOW内容新增与更新过程中都可以完善地接续测试与验证的流程.
Blizzard已经与微软,SONY都接触过,但所谓的PC游戏网路平台移植
至家用主机可不是直接套用各主机商的网路平台就可以.WOW有大量
游戏内容且同时支持百万玩家上线,长期稳定的品质即来自Blizzard
对服务内容维护的极高要求.现阶段Blizzard暂且对於WOW付诸於家用
主机的网路架构持保留态度.或许可以解释为当他们对自己原创的网
路平台最能掌握,才能有信心提出具备软硬体统合性视野的最佳维护
方案给予所有玩家.
从一个现阶段是"PC"的MMO移植至任何一台家用主机,对於暴风雪而言
在网路与内容的可靠性验证上可能都是一项苦工,数年才能完成是可
能的.Sam认为从头设计一款为电玩主机开发的游戏可能比较好,不过他
也在此不作任何担保,WOW移植版就要出现在家用主机上不是不可能.
提到次世代三大主机,Sam认为Xbox360是最好的机器(Best Box).但是
他仍密切注意PS3与Wii未来的表现.微软长年经营的XboxLive也得到
他的赞赏,而且是很明确的语言表达:
"我认为Live将为占有优势,微软在线上游戏领域作了更多的纪录追踪
与多人游戏的经验,我想它无疑能在未来成为领导地位."
"对於任何一家主机商想要取代Live来说,这太难了.就算是SONY也一
样,他们还差得太远"[/COLOR]
But WOW aside, that doesn't mean Blizzard isn't looking into console
development at all. "What is more possible is to build something from
the ground up... But whether or not it will happen, I'm not sure."
However, Sams is sure about which of the next-gen consoles he
personally prefers. "I think the 360 is the best box," he says, but
adds that he's also keen to see what the PS3 and Wii can do, and
will "absolutely" end up owning all three machines.
In terms of online gaming, though, Sams reckons there's a clear winner. "On
console, I think that Live will reign... [Microsoft] has a much longer track
record and history of multiplayer gaming, and I think they absolutely will have
the lead.
"It's going to be excruciatingly diffi*** for anyone - including Sony - to
take that away from Microsoft. They're way too far ahead.". |
