Xa iMicrosoft yabhengeza ukuba ifumene iZeniMax Media nge-7.5 yeebhiliyoni zeedola, iinkampani ezinje ngeBethesda, i-Arkane Studios, i-id Software njalo njalo kwinkqubo, ndizamile ukwenza ingqiqo yesivumelwano sokuphela kwexesha se-Deathloop kunye ne-GhostWire: iTokyo. U-Sony ubhengeze ukuba zozibini izihloko ziza kubekwa kuphela ngexesha le-PS5 kunye neyokuqala ubuncinci ibe yeyodwa unyaka. Le mali kusenokwenzeka ukuba iseBethesda kodwa inkampani ngoku yeyeMicrosoft kwaye ixhamle ukuthengisa kuyo yomibini imidlalo. I-rigmarole kodwa kuphela isiqalo se-labyrinth yemibuzo eya kuqhubeka iinyanga.
UPete Hines kaBethesda uye wacacisa ukuba inkampani isazokupapasha imidlalo yayo. UTodd Howard uthethe ngomkhondo weMicrosoft kunye neBethesda, intsebenziswano abaye babelana ngayo bobabini kumashumi eminyaka - ukusuka Morrowind uza kuXbox kunye Ukuthobela uza kuXbox 360 ukuya Ukuwa kwe4 Ukufumana inkxaso yeemodyuli kwiXbox One-kwaye wonke umntu owabelana “ngenkolelo yokuba ukwandisa ukufikelela kumdlalo bekubalulekile, nokuba bekukwiPC, ikhonsoli, ifowuni yakho, okanye ilifu.”
Masikhuphe izinto ezicacileyo endleleni- oku kuvula i-Elder Scrolls 6 ukuba ibe kwi-Xbox Game Pass ekusungulweni.Starfield sele iqinisekisiwe), inyusa ixabiso lenkonzo kakhulu. Ngapha koko, oku kwandisa kakhulu ezinye iindawo apho iMicrosoft isenokuba iswele. Ngoku ine-blockbuster yesibini yokudubula iDoorn ukungqiyama. Inomrhumo osekwe ngokufanelekileyo kwi-MMO nge Abadala abakwi-Scrolls Online. Inee-IP ezintsha ezinomdla enokuthi yenzele imidlalo emitsha, njengoBubi obungaphakathi, ixhoba, iWolfenstein kunye neDishonored. Ikwanjalo Ukuwa kwe76 ngenxa...into. Kwaye nangona singekayiboni kwinqanaba elikhulu okwangoku, ivula ithuba lentsebenziswano ebanzi kunye nezinye i-Xbox Game Studios.
Eyona nto ibangela umdla ngakumbi kukuba uMicrosoft uya kuhlonipha isivumelwano sokuphela kwexesha se-Deathloop kunye ne-GhostWire: I-Tokyo kwi-PS5 kodwa izihloko ezizayo ziya kuba kwi-Xbox, iPC kunye "nezinye izinto ezithuthuzelayo kwimeko nganye." Oku kuthetha ukuba inokutsala ikhadi le-UNO Reverse kwaye libe bodwa bexesha le-Bethesda yezihloko kwi-Xbox Series X kunye ne-S. I-Phantasy Star ekwi-2). Ukuba inkampani ibinzulu ngenene, inokwenza iMiqulu yabadala yesi-6 kunye ne-Starfield ikhethekileyo kwii-Xbox Series consoles kunye nePC, ukuphela kwebali. Heck, unokubona iSkyrim Ultimate Edition ngaxa lithile inomkhondo weray kunye ne-120 yeefreyimu ezixhasayo kuphela kwii-Xbox Series consoles, ngokusisigxina okanye njengesivumelwano esinexesha.
Kukwayinto yokuphambana ukucinga ukuba iMicrosoft ayingobanini bemidlalo ye-Bethesda efana ne-Outer Worlds kunye ne-Avowed ezayo- ikwangumnikazi wemidlalo yokuqala. Ungayijonga iphothifoliyo yayo ngeentlobo ezifanayo zemidlalo okanye inika iindidi ezininzi kwabo bayifunayo. Nokuba kunjalo, umthengi uyaphumelela kwaye iMicrosoft iphumelele ngokungagqibekanga ngenxa yokuba nazo zonke ezi IPs.
Ukufunyanwa kunokubonisa iziphumo ezibalulekileyo kumgangatho wezihloko zeBethesda. Sinokubona uvavanyo olubanzi lwe-bug kunye nokulibaziseka ukuqinisekisa ukuba ipolishi ephezulu. Siye sabona imidlalo yeeplatform ezininzi iqhuba ngcono kwii-Xbox Series consoles, ngokusulungekileyo kwisiseko sabaphuhlisi abanokufikelela kwizixhobo ezingaphezulu ukwenza imidlalo yabo ngcono. Kusenokubakho iimeko apho imidlalo ethile ifumana uphuculo olungalindelekanga, njenge-InXile's Wasteland 3 enelizwi elipheleleyo enkosi ngenkxaso kaMicrosoft.
Indawo yokulungisa nayo inokuchaphazeleka kakhulu. Ngokunikwa indlela ezithandwa ngayo iimodyuli kunye noluntu lwabadala kunye ne-Fallout, kunye nendlela i-Obsidian ekuxelwa ngayo ukuba ijonge kwinkxaso ye-mod ye-Avowed, sinokubona i-Xbox isiba yeyona ndawo iphambili yokuya kwii-console mods. Yeyiphi impembelelo mods eziya kujongana nayo le midlalo ifumaneka kwiVenkile yeWindows okanye ifuna ukungena kwiXbox Live nakwiSteam kuhlala kubonakala.
Ewe kunjalo, kukho indlela enzima yokujonga yonke le nto. UBethesda wayengomnye wabavakalisi abakhulu kwishishini lemidlalo. Ngokufunyanwa, ishishini lilonke liya lidityaniswa ngakumbi, nto leyo ethetha ukuba kungekudala okanye kamva, abaphuhlisi kuya kufuneka bajonge ukuphosa iqashiso labo kunye nenkampani enye enkulu okanye enye. Kwaye ngelixa ezinye izihloko zeBethesda zikhethekile kwi-Xbox luloyiso olukhulu lweMicrosoft, inokubenzakalisa abalandeli bePlayStation kule nkqubo. Ayikuko ukuba u-Sony akenzi konke okusemandleni akhe ukuyincamathela kwi-Xbox kwezi nyanga zidlulileyo, ngakumbi ukuba amarhe malunga nomshicileli uthethathethwano lokuzikhethela ixesha kunye ne-Starfield kwi-PS5 ichanekile. UMicrosoft ngokuyimfuneko ngorhatya lwamanqaku, kodwa abathengi bePS5 banokuhlupheka ngenxa yoko.
Emva koko, ngaphandle kwazo zonke ezi zivumelwano zoshishino ze-cutthroat zenziwe, akufani nokuba zombini iinkampani aziyi kuxhamla. UMicrosoft unokwenza ukuba iStarfield ifumaneke kwiPS5 ngaxeshanye njengeXbox Series X kunye neS kunye nePC. Ngelixa kufuneka ihlawule umrhumo welayisensi yekhonsoli kwaSony, iyaxhamla kwingeniso yokuthengisa iiyunithi ezininzi. Zombini iinkampani ziyaphumelela kodwa iMicrosoft inokutsala abadlali abaninzi kwi-brand yayo. "Ngaba ngokwenene ungathanda ukuhlawula i-70 yeedola kwiMisongo yaBadala yesi-6?" inokubuza emva kokuba ugqibezele i-Starfield. Kutheni ungathathi iXbox Series S kunye neGame Pass kwaye uyonwabele ngexabiso eliphantsi? Kukho intlaninge yeminye imidlalo enokuyonwabela.”
Kuyafaneleka ukuba siqaphele ukuba asiyi kubona impembelelo yokwenyani yesi sivumelwano kwiminyaka ezayo, kufana nokunye ukuthengwa kwestudio sikaMicrosoft. I-Elder Scrolls 6 kunye ne-Starfield isekho iminyaka, eyona nto yangaphambili kuneyokugqibela. I-Deathloop kunye ne-GhostWire: I-Tokyo iya kuba yi-PS5-console kuphela kude kube ngu-2022 ubuncinane. Likamva elijongwe nguMicrosoft-inkampani ilungiselela umdyarho, hayi nje isantya esifutshane, esijolise ekwandiseni ukuzibandakanya kwixesha elide endaweni yokuthengisa izinto ezithuthuzelayo kangangoko kwiinyanga ezimbalwa zokuqala. Kuyavunywa, oku kuthatha ixesha kodwa ngcono okanye okubi, iMicrosoft ithathe amanyathelo okwandisa ipotifoliyo yeqela lakhe lokuqala ngemidlalo ekufuneka idlale evela kwizitudiyo ezikumgangatho ophezulu.
Nokuba sithini na isimo sakho kuyo yonke le nto, kunikwe ukuba ishishini alisayi kuphinda lifane. Kodwa umntu kufuneka acele umbuzo: Ukuba iZeniMax Media yayivulekele ukufunyanwa, ngubani omnye onokulandelayo? Larian Studios kwikona imarike kwi RPGs entshona? IWarner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, leyo iMicrosoft ebekuxelwe ukuba inomdla ekuyifumaneni kwaye isenokuba yenze njalo ukuba inkampani engumzali iWarnerMedia ibingenazo ingcinga? UbuGcisa be-Electronic, obunegama elihle kunye nenkampani iminyaka kwaye kutshanje iqinisekisile ukuba i-EA Play iya kubandakanywa ne-Game Pass?
Uza kuphendula njani uSony? Sele ineqela lezihloko zeqela lokuqala elizayo kwaye zinokujonga ekuthatheni izitudiyo ezininzi. Mhlawumbi iya kutyikitya izivumelwano zomntu wesithathu, oko kukuthi, xa abaphuhlisi baseJapan bengekahlangani ukuze bafumane imidlalo yabo kwikhonsoli. Kuya kufuneka ukholelwe ukuba iMicrosoft ikulindele konke oku kwaye iya kwenza eyayo intshukumo ukuphendula. Kulutshintshiselwano olunomdla emva naphambili ngaphandle kokuyeka, mhlawumbi lukhokelela esona sizukulwana sikhumbulekayo sekhonsoli okwangoku kunye neshishini liphela liyavela. Izinto ezinokwenzeka, kunye neziphumo zazo, azinasiphelo kwaye asinakulinda ukuze sibone ukuba kuya kwenzeka ntoni emva koko.
Qaphela: Iimbono ezichazwe kweli nqaku zezo zombhali kwaye azimelanga izimvo ze, kwaye akufuneki zibalelwe kwi-GamingBolt njengombutho.
