Kube yihlaya isikhashana manje, ukuthi izihloko ezithile zidinga kanjani umsebenzi omningi ngemva kokwethulwa kangangokuthi ukuthengwa kokuqala kungase kucabange “ukufinyelela kusenesikhathi.” I-Marvel's Avengers, The Division, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Destiny 1 futhi 2, Fallout 76, Ihubo futhi I-Diablo 3 sebedlule kulokhu. Kodwa-ke, izihloko zomdlali oyedwa azijwayeleki okufanayo. Isihloko sakamuva esingahlekwa usulu ngokuthi sethulwa “ekufinyeleleni kusenesikhathi” ngeseCD Projekt RED Cyberpunk 2077. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yizinkinga zokusebenza, iziphazamisi noma izici ezingekho, kunomuzwa phakathi kwabadlali abaningi wokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi umdlalo “uzophela” ngo-2022 (uma kungenjalo kamuva).
Kodwa-ke, kubalulekile ukubheka emuva kwezinye izihloko eziyinkinga ezikhishwe ngekwindla edlule. ICall of Duty: IBlack Ops Cold War uthole impendulo eyakhayo mayelana neZombies kanye nomkhankaso kodwa akukho ukuphika ukuthi ubugcwele izimbungulu nezinkinga ezihlanganisa ukuphahlazeka. Abadlali abaningi yindaba ehluke ngokuphelele - kusukela ku-alpha yokuqala kuze kube manje, igxekwe ngokuklama kwayo imephu, ukuntuleka kokuqukethwe, izinkinga zebhalansi, ukufanisa, uhlu luyaqhubeka.
Ukubuka Izinja: Legion iphinde yaba nenani leziphazamisi ngenkathi yethulwa, hhayi okuncane kakhulu okuhlanganisa ukonga ukonakala. Izikhalazo zokuqhubeka okulahlekile zizoqhubeka nokuba yinkinga ku-Xbox Series X/S (futhi akukacaci ukuthi sezidingidwe noma cha). Ithimba lokuthuthukisa lenze isinqumo sokulibazisa abadlali abaningi ukuze ligxile ekupholiseni igeyimu eyisisekelo nokulungisa iziphazamisi, okufanele kubonise ukuthi zingaki izinkinga ebezikhona. Bese kuba khona I-Assassin's Creed Valhalla okuthe, naphezu kokutuswa okubucayi, eyethulwa ngesabelo sayo sezimbungulu kusukela kubavimbeli benqubekelaphambili kuya emikhunjini entantayo (esekukhulunywe ngayo kamuva nje). Ezinye izikhalazo nazo zisho ikhwalithi yomsindo nesithombe esiyinkinga.
Umuntu kufanele abuze umbuzo-ke - kungani izihloko ezinjalo zingangeni ekufinyeleleni kusenesikhathi? Kuzwakala njengehlaya kodwa izihloko ze-triple-A ziya ziba zinkulu, uma zingafuneki kakhulu. Amaqembu entuthuko abalelwa kumakhulu ngezabelomali ezedlula kalula amashumi ezigidi zamaRandi. Izinselelo zokulungiselela i-hardware yesizukulwane samanje nazo azikwazi ukugcizelelwa futhi uma kuvela izinkinga “ezifana “nesimo” samanje somhlaba wonke, intuthuko izothinteka nakanjani.
Kulowo mbono, ukufinyelela kwangaphambi kwesikhathi kwenza izinga elithile lomqondo. Kuyavunywa, ithimba lokuthuthukisa lisengakwazi ukukhipha izici ezingenangqondo kuyilapho linganikezi igeyimu ephelele lapho likhishwa. Okulindelwe kulawulwa kakhulu kulokhu - umthengi uyazi ukuthi ungena kuphi, phela. Intuthuko futhi isesigabeni lapho izinto zingashintsha kakhulu.
Inani lempendulo elingaqoqwa nalo liphezulu kakhulu - okungenani, kuye ngokuthi bangaki abantu abadlalayo - futhi izinkinga ezithile zingalungiswa ngaphambi kokukhishwa kokugcina. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma othile enentshisekelo esihlokweni sokufinyelela ngaphambi kwesikhathi, kukhona lowo muzwa wokulinda kuze kuqedwe igeyimu ngaphambi kokuphuma. Isiza ukunikeza ulwazi oludingeka kakhulu ekuthuthukisweni kwangempela ngalesi sikhathi. Ingabe kuhlangatshezwana nezinyathelo ezibalulekile? Izici ziyehliswa? Ngabe ukusebenza nokwenza kahle kwakheka kanjani?
Umuntu angase acabange ukuthi lokhu kusebenza kuphela ezihlokweni (njenge IHayidese) okuyi-indie enqunyiwe (futhi zisafaneleka ngendlela emangalisayo isikhathi nemali yakho). Kodwa kunesandulela sezihloko zamagama amakhulu ezingena ekufinyeleleni kusenesikhathi. I-Mount and Blade 2: I-Bannerlord ibilokhu isebenza iminyaka futhi yethulwa ku-Steam Early Access ngonyaka odlule ngama- $ 50. Okuvelayo bekukuhle kakhulu kodwa bekusabhekene nezinkinga zokwenza kahle, iziphazamisi, ukuphahlazeka nokuntuleka kokuqukethwe. I-TaleWorlds Entertainment ibilokhu isobala kukho konke lokhu, ihlinzeka ngezibuyekezo ezivamile ezinhlosweni futhi ihlukanise izici ezinkulu ezizayo. Kuyinqubo ehamba kancane, okungebona bonke abalandeli bayo Intaba neBlade: Warband uyajabula ngakho, kodwa uyasebenza.
Isango le-Baldur's 3 kusuka ku-Larian Studios yethulwe ngentengo yethegi engu-$60 - usayizi weqembu lilonke uqale kubathuthukisi abangama-200 ngaphakathi futhi kwathiwa uzowela ama-300 konjiniyela bangaphandle. Ngaphambi kokwethulwa, ithimba lokuthuthukisa belibeka obala ngendlela emangalisayo mayelana nokuthi yini okufanele ilindelwe. Ngenkathi iqala ukudlala igeyimu e-PAX yangonyaka odlule, yayisuka ekwakhiweni okusaqhubekayo okwakungenakho nokulondolozwa okusetshenzisiwe, ingasaphathwa eyezinambuzane eziningi. Njengoba isikhathi siqhubeka, yabonisa izici eziningi futhi yaveza wonke amakilasi nokuqukethwe okungalindelwa ekufinyeleleni kusenesikhathi kuyilapho iphinda igcizelela ukuthi okwabalandeli ababefuna ukubamba iqhaza enqubweni yokuthuthukisa. Litshele abadlali abebelindele isipiliyoni esigcwele, esiphucuziwe ukuthi balinde kuze kudedelwe umdlalo.
Futhi futhi, kube nezinkinga phakathi nokufinyelela kwangaphambi kwesikhathi, kusukela ekulondolozeni okonakele kuya kuzimbungulu eziningi. Kodwa kukho konke, iLarian Studios ihlale isobala. Isibuyekezo sayo sakamuva sibone ukugqwayiza kuthuthukisiwe, izimo ezimbalwa ezingezona ezokulwa ezihlinzeka nge-XP kanye namasinema asetshenzwe kabusha. Ngisho namalungu eqembu akhona manje enziwe amabi, abadlali bakhala ngokuthi bakhetha izindlela eziningi kakhulu futhi ngaleyo ndlela bashintshwa ukuze babekezeleleke. Izinguquko ezihlukene zebhalansi yokulwa, ikhwalithi yezici zempilo nokuthuthukiswa kwe-UI nakho kwasetshenziswa.
Izihloko zokufinyelela ngaphambi kwesikhathi azinawo amaphutha azo. Kuyo yonke impumelelo enkulu, kunezinye izihloko ezimbalwa ezihlala isikhathi eside kakhulu, ezikhulula okuphekwe uhhafu noma ezingakhiphi nhlobo. Phakathi kwempumelelo kube nenqwaba yeziqu, kusukela Amaseli afile kuya I-Torchlight 3, abathole ukugxekwa ngezinqumo zabo (ngezinga lokuqina liyahluka). Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukufaka isihloko ekufinyeleleni kusenesikhathi kungase kunikeze abasebenzisi obala okwengeziwe kuyo yonke inqubo yokuthuthukisa futhi kunikeze unjiniyela amathuba okupholisha igeyimu yakhe, kodwa yonke imizamo isakunjiniyela.
Uma inqubo yokuthuthukisa yangempela inephutha kakhulu, khona-ke ukufinyelela kwangaphambi kwesikhathi kuzovele kudalule le nkinga kubathengi abaningi. Umphumela wokugcina ungase ube nezimbungulu ezincane kodwa nalokho akuqinisekisiwe. Udinga kuphela ukubheka izindaba ezihlukahlukene zangaphakathi ezinkingeni zentuthuko kwa-BioWare, Treyarch, CD Projekt RED njalo njalo ukuze ubone ukuthi noma yini kusukela ezindabeni zobuchwepheshe kuya embonweni onephutha kanye nezinsuku eziwumnqamulajuqu ezingezona ezingokoqobo zingaphazamisa iphrojekthi.
Ungacabanga ukuthi leso kungaba ukuphela kwesizathu esenza abashicileli abakhulu bangabi nazo izihloko ekufinyeleleni kwangaphambi kwesikhathi futhi baneliseke ukuhamba nama-beta esikhathi esilinganiselwe ngaphambi kokwethulwa. Kungani uvumela abalandeli ukuthi bayibhekisise le nqubo futhi bahehe ukugxekwa ngaphambi kokwethulwa? Lokhu kungaphandle kwama-beta asebenza njengezikhuthazo zokuthuthukisa ama-oda wangaphambilini, kunjalo. Iqiniso liwukuthi izihloko eziningi ze-triple-A ngeke zibheke ukufinyelela kwangaphambi kwesikhathi ngenxa yokulahlekelwa ukuthengiswa.
Ngenkathi Isango le-Baldur's 3 izodlula okulindelwe ngunjiniyela futhi I-Mount and Blade 2: I-Bannerlord izoqoqa ukubuyekezwa kwabasebenzisi abangaphezu kwe-110,000 ku-Steam, abashicileli abakhulu bafuna izigidi zokuthengisa, okungenani. Bayazi ukuthi ngasohlangothini lwamakhasimende, “ukufinyelela kusenesikhathi” kokuqukethwe okuzothatha isikhathi ukuthi kukhishwe ngokugcwele akuyona into efunwa abalandeli babo abanolaka. Kuyafana futhi ngesivinini esisheshayo, kungakhathaliseki ikhwalithi, iziphazamisi noma izinkinga zokuthuthuka.
Konjiniyela abakhulu nabashicileli abangaboshiwe ukukhishwa kwaminyaka yonke, kumayelana nokuthola imbuyiselo enkulu kakhulu ekutshalweni kwezimali ngokushesha okukhulu. Uma i-Rockstar Games yethuliwe I-Red Dead Redemption 2 ekufinyeleleni kusenesikhathi, ingabe ukuthengiswa kwayo konyaka wezimali kungaba phezulu ngokwanele kubanikazi bamasheya? Mhlawumbe kodwa umshicileli ofana ne-Take Two Interactive uyazi ukuthi imali eyengeziwe ingenziwa ngokukhululwa okuphelele.
Ukuthuthukiswa kokufinyelela kusenesikhathi kunokwehla nokwenyuka kwakho, okuhlinzeka ngezinye zezihloko ezihamba phambili phakathi neminyaka kanye nezinye ezingaphoqeleli kangako. Ngenkathi i-RPG enkulu efana Isango le-Baldur's 3 izinzuzo ezivela ezimpendulweni ngokuhamba kwesikhathi eside, izimiso ezifanayo azikwazi ukusebenza kugeyimu ehlukile enamapayipi ahlukile, izinqubo zonjiniyela noma okulindelwe ngumshicileli. Kuyinkinga enzima ukuyixazulula, edinga ukudela inzuzo, noma eyesikhashana noma eyesikhathi eside, ngenxa yonjiniyela kanye nekhwalithi yomkhiqizo. Ukuthi izinkampani eziningi zizimisele yini ukwenza lokho kuzidela ngenkathi zilungisa kabusha izinqubomgomo nezinqubo zazo zangaphakathi kuzoqhubeka nokuba ngomunye wemibuzo emikhulu yokuthuthukiswa kwe-triple-A eminyakeni ezayo.
Qaphela: Imibono evezwe kulesi sihloko ngeyombhali futhi ayimeleli imibono ye-GamingBolt, futhi akufanele ukuthi ibalulwe ku-GamingBolt njengenhlangano.
