UBungie angazixhasa njani zombini 'i-Destiny 2' kunye 'neMarathon' eqhubela phambili?

Okukhona sisondela kwiSimo sokuGqibela, kokukhona izimvo zam malunga nekamva leBungie ziqala ukutshintsha. Ndatsho kwasekuqaleni ukuba ndiqinisekile ukuba i-Destiny 2 iya kuqhubeka nokwenza ulwandiso olukhulu, hayi nje ukutshintshwa kwexesha leepisodic esele libhengezwe, kodwa ngoku ndiya ndisiya ndisiba ndiqiniseka kancinci.

Ngoba? Kuba izinto ezintsha ezifunyanisiweyo zibonakala ngathi izinto zinokuba mbi kakhulu ngaphambi kokuba (ukuba) zibengcono. Ingxelo yamva nje ye-IGN uthethe malunga nokuba kukho ubunzima obuninzi kwi-Final Shape ekufuneka yenziwe, ndingaxoxa kakhulu kuninzi, kunikwe ii-odolo eziphantsi kunye nokuphoxeka komdlali kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Yaye ukuba akunjalo, isoyikiso sokudendwa ngakumbi sisongekile. Bangaphezu kwekhulu abantu abasikwa eBungie ekwindla lonyaka ophelileyo, kwaye ngelixa singazi ukuba ukusika kunzulu kangakanani okwesibini, ndiyaxolisa ukutsho ukuba kufuneka ndicinge ukuba akunakubakho naluphi na ukuphepha okunye emva koko. Imilo yokugqibela. Ubuncinci ngokwembono yeenkokeli zeBungie (ezigculelwa kakhulu) ezagqiba ekubeni zigxothe abantu okokuqala.

Kodwa umbuzo wam ngowokuba ngazo zonke ezi zinto zidelekileyo, uBungie anethemba njani lokuxhasa zombini i-Destiny 2 ukuya phambili, okanye i-Destiny njengeshishini elipheleleyo, ecaleni kokuqaliswa kweMarathon, umdubuli omtsha omkhulu ongcakaza isixa esikhulu senkampani. ngamathamsanqa kwimpumelelo yayo? Lo nto ayithethi nto ngezinye iiprojekthi ezisafukanyelwayo, nangona iingxelo zakutsha nje zithi ezinje ngegama elithi “Gummy Bears” zimisiwe okwangoku ngenxa yemiba ekhoyo.

Imeko ibonakala ifana nje nenkampani efana neMidlalo yeRiot, esalawula ixesha elide iLeague of Legends, kodwa kunye neValorant yayo yokudubula, kunye neeprojekthi ezincinci ezifana neTeamfight Tactics. Ukuba bayakwazi ukuyenza, akanako uBungie?

I-Riot inesabelo sayo seengxaki zenkcubeko, ngoko ngokuqinisekileyo ayikhululwa kuloo mizabalazo efana ne-Bungie, kunye nokuyeka emsebenzini okubandakanya i-11% yenkampani, imisebenzi engama-500. Kodwa yile nto, i-11% ye-Riot yimisebenzi engama-500 ithetha ukuba inkampani ngoku inabasebenzi abangama-4,500. Oku kungaphezulu ngokuphindwe kane kunobukhulu beBungie, ngoku ephantsi kufutshane nabasebenzi abali-1,000 XNUMX emva kokudendwa, kwaye inokuba ncinci ngakumbi ukuba kuyenzeka okunye.

Kwaye ngelixa le i-apile encinci kunye neeorenji, ndingatsho ukuba ukulawula umdlalo onje nge-Destiny 2 "ngumsebenzi" ngandlel 'ithile kuneLeague of Legends yenza ibhalansi yokupasa kunye nokumpompa iintshatsheli ezintsha. UBungie ebesenza ulwandiso olukhulu kunye nomxholo owandayo wexesha lonyaka kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, ecaleni kokuzama ukwenza izinto “zasimahla” ezinje ngokulungelelanisa i-PvP ngonaphakade, kwaye ngoku uyeka kwisiqulatho sokuKhanya. Ngumsebenzi omkhulu onexabiso eliphezulu.

Impendulo, ngelishwa, inokuba ubunkokeli abukhathali ukuba uBungie ulawula njani emva konyaka olandelayo okanye emibini. Ingxelo ye-IGN ithe ubunkokeli bunokuthi buhambe "ngobuninzi" emva kokuhlawulwa kwabo kokugqibela kwisivumelwano sikaSony ngo-2026, kwaye iya kuba yingxaki yomnye umntu emva koko malunga nokuba imidlalo efana neDestiny kunye neMarathon ixhaswa njani ukusuka apho.

Umbuzo wam ophambili wazo zombini ezi projekthi ngumda. Ukuba ingxelo kukuba i-Marathon ngoku i-shooter esekelwe kwi-hero-based, bangaphi abo bafika ekuqalisweni (i-Valorant yayine-12, i-Overwatch yayine-21)? Emva koko ungena kwimeko apho, ngenxa yokuba lo ngumdlalo wamaqhawe ngoku, kufuneka udibanise rhoqo abalinganiswa abatsha, mhlawumbi ibe nye ngexesha lonyaka, njengoko ngokungathandabuzekiyo iMarathon iya kuba namaxesha onyaka. Bekungayi kuba njalo ngabalinganiswa besiqhelo.

I-Destiny ivakala ngathi iphantse yancipha. Iziqendu zinokuba zikhulu kunamaxesha onyaka, kodwa ndingothuka ukuba iziqendu ezithathu zinomxholo opheleleyo njengamasizini amane. Kwaye umbuzo wokwandiswa usahleli. Kwelinye icala njengabaqhubi abakhulu bengeniso yomdlalo, uyazibuza ukuba bangakwazi njani ukuphulukana nabo, kwelinye icala, benza ukuba yonke iminyaka eyi-1.5 igcineke kwisikali esifanayo? Andiqinisekanga ukuba kunokwenzeka njani xa kujongwa zonke ezinye izinto eziqwalaselwayo apha.

Inqaku eliphambili lelokuba mna ngenene, andicingi ukuba kufanele ukuba kubekho ukudilizwa ngaphezulu nokuba kwenzeka ntoni na ngeSimo sokuGqibela njengoko oko kuya konakalisa ithemba lekamva lenkampani nangakumbi ngabantu abambalwa abenza umsebenzi omninzi kwimidlalo emibini ngoku. Kodwa ngubani owaziyo ukuba ubunkokeli bukaBungie bucinga ntoni kule mihla. Ikakhulu ibonakala imalunga nabo.
