U-Bungie Angakwazi Kanjani Ukusekela Kokubili 'I-Destiny 2' kanye 'Ne-Marathon' Ukuqhubekela Phambili?

Lapho sisondela ku-The Final Shape, imibono yami ngekusasa le-Bungie isiqala ukushintsha. Ekuqaleni ngasho ukuthi nginesiqiniseko sokuthi i-Destiny 2 izoqhubeka nokwenza ukwanda okukhulu, hhayi nje ukushintshwa kwesizini yesiqephu esekumenyezelwe, kodwa manje ngiya ngokuya ngincipha.

Kungani? Ngoba okutholakele okusha kubonakala kuphakamisa ukuthi izinto zingase zibe zimbi kakhulu ngaphambi kokuthi (uma) ziba ngcono. Umbiko wakamuva we-IGN wakhuluma ngokuthi kunesisindo esikhulu kanjani ku-The Final Shape okufanele siyenze, ngingaphikisa kakhulu kuningi, kunikezwe ama-oda angaphambili aphansi kanye nokudumala komdlali onyakeni odlule. Futhi uma kungenjalo, usongo lokudilizwa okwengeziwe luyanda. Abantu abangaphezu kwekhulu banqunywa e-Bungie ekwindla yonyaka odlule, futhi nakuba singazi ukuthi ukusikeka kujule kangakanani okwesibili, ngiyaxolisa ukusho ukuthi kufanele ngicabange ukuthi kungase kungabi khona ukugwema okunye ngemva kwalokho. Isimo Sokugcina. Okungenani ngokombono wobuholi (obugconwa kakhulu) bukaBungie obunqume ukuxosha abantu okokuqala.

Kepha umbuzo wami ukuthi ngakho konke lokhu kudilizwa, uBungie angaba kanjani nethemba lokusekela i-Destiny 2 ukuya phambili, noma i-Destiny njengebhizinisi eliphelele, kanye nokwethulwa kweMarathon, umdubuli omusha omkhulu ogembula inani elikhulu lenkampani. inhlanhla ngempumelelo yayo? Lokho akusho lutho ngamanye amaphrojekthi asafukanyelwa, nakuba imibiko yakamuva ithi afana naleli gama elithi “Gummy Bears” amisiwe okwesikhashana ngenxa yezinkinga ezikhona.

Isimo sibonakala okungenani sifana nenkampani efana neRiot Games, esaphethe i-League of Legends isikhathi eside, kodwa futhi ne-Valorant yayo yokudubula, kanye namaphrojekthi amancane afana ne-Teamfight Tactics. Uma bekwazi ukukwenza, ngeke uBungie?

I-Riot inengxenye yayo yezinkinga zesiko, ngakho-ke ayikhululekile kuleyo mizabalazo efana ne-Bungie, kanye nokudilizwa kwakamuva okuhlanganisa u-11% wenkampani, imisebenzi engama-500. Kodwa yilokho, u-11% weRiot ekubeni yimisebenzi engu-500 kusho ukuthi inkampani manje isinabasebenzi ababalelwa ku-4,500. Lokho kungaphezu kokuphindwe kane kunosayizi weBungie, manje oseyisondele kubasebenzi abayinkulungwane ngemuva kokudilizwa, futhi kungaba kuncane kakhulu uma kwenzeka okunye.

Futhi nakuba lokhu kungama-apula namawolintshi, ngingaphikisa ngokuthi ukuphatha umdlalo ofana ne-Destiny 2 “kuwumsebenzi” kakhulu ngandlela thize kuneLeague of Legends eyenza amaphasi ebhalansi futhi ikhiphe ompetha abasha ngabanye. U-Bungie ubelokhu ekhipha ukwanda okukhulu nokuqukethwe kwesizini okukhulayo okukhulayo eminyakeni embalwa edlule, ehambisana nokuzama ukwenza izinto “zamahhala” njengokulinganisa i-PvP ngunaphakade, futhi manje ukumisa i-Gap Into the Light. Umsebenzi omningi ngezindleko eziphakeme.

Impendulo, ngeshwa, kungenzeka ukuthi ubuholi abunandaba nokuthi uBungie uphatha kanjani ngemuva konyaka noma emibili ezayo. Umbiko we-IGN uthe ubuholi bungahle buhambe “ngobuningi” ngemuva kokuthola izinkokhelo zabo zokugcina zesivumelwano sikaSony ngo-2026, futhi kuzoba inkinga yomunye umuntu ngemuva kwalokho ukuthi imidlalo efana neDestiny neMarathon isekelwa kanjani lapho.

Umbuzo wami oyinhloko wawo womabili la maphrojekthi wububanzi. Uma umbiko uthi iMarathon manje isingumdubuli osuselwa kwiqhawe, bangaki abafika lapho kwethulwa (uValorant wayenangu-12, i-Overwatch yayino-21)? Khona-ke uthola esimweni lapho, ngoba lokhu manje kuwumdlalo weqhawe, kufanele wengeze njalo izinhlamvu ezintsha, mhlawumbe eyodwa ngesizini, njengoba ngokungangabazeki iMarathon izoba nezinkathi zonyaka. Bekungeke kube njalo ngezinhlamvu zangokwezifiso.

I-Destiny izwa sengathi kufanele inciphe. Iziqephu zingase zibe zinkulu kunezinkathi zonyaka, kodwa ngisazomangala uma iziqephu ezintathu zinokuqukethwe okuningi okungamasizini amane. Futhi umbuzo wokwandiswa usasele. Ngakolunye uhlangothi njengabashayeli abakhulu bemali engenayo bomdlalo, uyazibuza ukuthi bangakwazi kanjani ukulahlekelwa yibo, ngakolunye, benza lezo njalo ngeminyaka engu-1.5 zisimame ngesilinganiso esifanayo? Angiqiniseki nje ukuthi lokho kungenzeka kanjani uma kubhekwa zonke ezinye izinto lapha.

Iphuzu elibalulekile ukuthi empeleni, angicabangi ukuthi kufanele kube nokudilizwa okwengeziwe noma ngabe kwenzekani nge-The Final Shape njengoba lokho kungalimaza kuphela amathemba enkampani ekusasa njengoba bembalwa abantu abenza umsebenzi owengeziwe emidlalweni emibili manje. Kodwa ubani owaziyo ukuthi ubuholi bukaBungie bucabangani kulezi zinsuku. Ikakhulukazi ibonakala imayelana nabo.
