505 Games to make own games. New IP reveal in the next couple of weeks



505 Games switches focus to developing its own IP

Publisher 505 Games says it is determined to develop its own brands going forward.

The firm, celebrating its tenth birthday this month, traditionally partners with other studios’ titles, and has helped turn Terraria, Cooking Mama, Payday and Zumba Fitness into smash hits.

505 boss Ian Howe told MCV that he’s not turning his back on these partnerships, but the firm is now looking to create its own hits.

“A lot of our past success has come from other people’s games, and whilst we’re happy to still have this play a part in our future, it’s critical that we develop our own brands,” he told us.

“We’ve been working hard on unannounced IPs that will launch in the next couple of years. We encourage everyone at 505 to think about the types of games they want to make. If we think the idea is strong enough, then we’ll make it. In that respect we’re taking an approach closer to that of a developer than a publisher.”

He added: “We have an exciting new wholly-owned IP to unveil in the next couple of weeks.”

报道称505 Games将自行开发新IP 或近期公开

　　近日著名的游戏厂商505 Games迎来了它的十岁生日，而最新的报道显示，他们已经决心开发他们自己的全新IP。

　　日前在接受国外媒体MCV的采访时，505 Games的Ian Howe透露了他们的这一想法。近一段时间他们也继续和自己的一些传统合作伙伴推出了不少作品，他们并不打算放弃这种合作关系，不过该公司目前正试图打造自己的IP。

　　“过去我们很多的成功经验来源于其他人的游戏，而我们也很高兴在未来仍然会扮演这样的角色，这也是我们发展自主品牌的关键。”

　　“我们一直在努力打造预计会在未来几年推出但尚未公布的IP。我们鼓励在505中的每个人去思考他们想要打造的游戏类型。如果我们认为某个点子足够好，那么我们就会制作它。在这方面，比起发行商，我们采取的方法更接近开发商。”

　　而最后Ian Howe还透露，他们有一个全新的完全属于自己的IP将在未来的几周内公布。虽然目前尚不清楚该IP到底是什么，不过还是令人充满期待。

第三人称超能力冒险游戏《控制 CONTROL》E3 演示公开

　　《控制 CONTROL》是由 Remedy Entertainment 推出的全新作品，本作主打超自然能力的战斗，玩家必须随着环境改变能力，并且在未知的世界中尝试运用超能力进行战斗。IGN评价本作更像是一个“超自然”版本的《量子破碎》，并且带来了不少关于这款游戏的情报。

　　玩家在游戏中扮演主角Jasse Faden（由科特尼·霍普扮演，她曾在《量子破碎》中担任贝丝·瓦尔德的扮演者），她是游戏中联邦控制局的新领导。在上一任领导去世之后，她得到了晋升，并且这次晋升也让她得到了某些能力，这种能力在和The Hiss对抗中非常有效。The Hiss是一种已经入侵、渗透到机构内部的奇怪力量（或组织）。

　　主角可以使用念力，从附近的墙壁和柱子上拉出砖块、时钟之类的挡在她面前当盾牌。也可以用念力将这些围绕她周围的碎片变成攻击性武器。她还可以浮在空中，IGN编辑表示这个技能在玩到的Demo后期很有用。他提到了在试玩中来到了一个叫做“最古老的地方”的空间，这里三位转换非常离奇，和我们所熟知的物理学相悖。同时这位女主角也是一把能够转换形态的手枪的持有者。

　　游戏中玩家将进入到比看起来要大得多的房间，房间中有在空中漂浮着的尸体，看上去毫无生机，但这些“尸体”会活过来，掉在地上并攻击玩家。这里还有扭曲和折叠的墙壁，诡异的白色和红色光芒，招呼着玩家前进。

　　游戏玩法方面，Remedy称其为“开放式的沙盒体验”。显然，游戏将包括主线剧情和支线任务，后者还将包含游戏中最为棘手的一部分挑战。主角Jasse的能力也可以随着游戏的进程而升级。Remedy表示角色所担任的这个局长的工作永远不会结束，IGN编辑表示在这可能是暗示即使游戏通关以后也有的玩。

　　总结一下《控制 CONTROL》是一款第三人称动作冒险游戏，科幻题材，游戏引擎为Remedy的Northlight游戏引擎，本作将更加紧凑、聚焦，角色还拥有超能力，将于2019年发售。

Featuring a rich and vast environment to explore and introducing a unique “seasons” mechanic to enhance the competition of surviving the Red Planet, Memories of Mars sets the stage for an otherworldly gaming experience designed to keep gameplay fresh. In the unique Seasons, which sets Memories of Mars apart from other survival games, death will be inevitable for even the most skilled players as periodic catastrophic solar flares wipe the planet’s surface of all life and player-made infrastructures on an ongoing basis. Some of the talents and abilities learned through the season can be backed up and carried over by a series of clones, allowing players the ability to download previous memories of how to build and craft to get a head start on surviving the next season.

Memories of Mars will task players with surviving the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the Red Planet while building a habitable homestead and competing against other players and enemy NPCs for resources and opportunities. Players can team up to explore, gather resources and build defense bases or go rogue and explore numerous locations including abandoned terraforming towers, mining sites, caves, canyons, meteor impact sites and more. Seasons will also serve to make the map feel new, with familiar places rearranged in new locations, exciting points of interest never-before-seen, added blueprints for creating different weapons and modules, novel enemies, updated events and more.
