    New CEO waves goodbye to Silent Hill and Consoles!

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    Konami to now focus on Free-To-Play mobile games!

     

    The interview originally ran on Nikkei Trendy Net, so take the translation with a pinch of salt in case any particular themes were lost in translation. According to the interview, Konami will no pursue the mobile market with great gusto and what I presume to be chutzpah:

    Following the pay-as-you-play model of games like Power Pro and Winning Eleven with additional content, our games must move from selling things like ‘items‘ to selling things like ‘features. We saw with these games that even people who buy physical games are motivated to buy extra content. The success of Power Pro especially has motivated us to actively push more of our popular series onto mobile than ever before.

    Gaming has spread to a number of platforms, but at the end of the day, the platform that is always closest to us, is mobile. Mobile is where the future of gaming lies.

    That also means that established franchises could also be getting the mobile treatment, with Hayakawa detailing plans to possibly shift Metal Gear Solid and Winning Eleven onto mobile

    With multiplatform games, there’s really no point in dividing the market into categories anymore. Mobiles will take on the new role of linking the general public to the gaming world.

    In other, other words then, expect games starring your favourite franchises that are just barely fun and reward you for nonsense actions while seeking to extract some coin out of you. Or as South Park so adequately explained the freemium cycle:

    Introducing the Lily Camera , Self-Flying Camera Drone That Follows Moving Targets

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    Think of Lily Camera as basically a self-flying camera for people who don’t want to pilot a quadcopter while attempting to record video footage. Measuring a svelte 3″ high and roughly 10″ square, this 2.8 pound gadget can easily be pulled from a backpack and then tossed in the air. Its motors will start working automatically as the drone takes flight. Thanks to a sealed body, rain or snow won’t be a problem for this drone. Since there’s no radio controller, users just wear a puck-shaped tracking device on their body. It uses a combination of GPS and visual subject tracking to let Lily know your position, distance and speed. Once locked, Lily can be set to maneuver to keep you in frame or be set to follow your every move via a mobile app.

    The camera it uses is capable of shooting 12.0-megapixel still shots, 1080p HD video @ 60fps, and 720p @ 120fps (slow motion footage). Plus, there’s a built-in mic in the tracker synced with the camera, so you’ll be able to capture audio from the ground. When fully charged, you’ll be able to get approximately 20-minutes of flight time.

  • MONKEY KING ESCAPE ERSCHEINT AUF MOBILGERÄTEN!

    MONKEY KING ESCAPE ERSCHEINT AUF MOBILGERÄTEN!

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Ubisoft® kündigte die Veröffentlichung von Monkey King Escape an, ein Spiel, das durch die bekannte chinesische Legende des Affenkönigs inspiriert wurde. Monkey King Escape wurde von einem kleinen Team aus 20 Entwicklern bei Ubisoft Chengdu exklusiv für den chinesischen Markt entwickelt und war ein gewaltiger Erfolg, als es am 21. August 2014 für Android erschien. Das Spiel ist in 200 Android-Stores in China erhältlich und wurde bereits zwei Millionen Mal heruntergeladen. Monkey King Escape ist ein Free-To-Play Endless Runner-Spiel und ist ab sofort im App Store sowie bei Google Play verfügbar.

     

    Die Legende des Affenkönigs – ein unsterblicher Affe, geboren aus der Heirat von Himmel und Erde

    Der König der Affen, Held des Buchs „Reise nach Westen“ von Wu Cheng’en, war einer der Beschützer des Mönchs Sanzang auf seiner Reise nach Indien zur Rückführung der Heiligen Schriften Buddhas nach China. Der „König der Affen“ oder „Affenkönig“ ist einer der populärsten Charaktere der chinesischen Literatur und eine sinnbildliche Figur der dortigen Kultur. Die moderne asiatische und chinesische Popkultur enthält viele Referenzen zum Affenkönig, einschließlich Dragon Ball Z sowie der gleichnamigen High-Budget-Filmadaption, die am 31. Januar 2014 in China erschien. „In China ist der Affenkönig vergleichbar mit einem Superhelden. Er strahlt positive Energie aus und viele Kinder wachsen mit seinen Abenteuern auf“, sagte Chen Yi Feng, Produzent bei Ubisoft Chengdu. „Wir sind stolz darauf, diesen populären Helden und seine Abenteuer einem breiteren Publikum zu präsentieren.“

    Der erste Mobile-Titel von Ubisoft Chengdu, der für chinesische Spieler entwickelt wurde

    Um das Spiel so erfolgreich wie möglich in solch einem großen Land wie China zu lancieren, kollaborierte Ubisoft Chengdu mit Idreamsky, Chinas größtem unabhängigen Mobile-Game-Publisher. Idreamsky unterstützte das Team während der Spieleentwicklung mit der nötigen Expertise, um dafür zu sorgen, dass das Spiel die Erwartungen chinesischer Spieler erfüllt und bereitete einen groß angelegten Marketingplan vor, um die Veröffentlichung des Spiels für iOS zu fördern (Events auf chinesischen Universitätscampus organisieren, Online-Promotion etc.).

    „Monkey King Escape ist die perfekte Darbietung unseres Wunsches, einem immer wachsenden Querschnitt von Spielern eine variierende Spielerfahrung zu bieten. Wir haben eine neue Marke für mobile Endgeräte erschaffen, die von einer beliebten lokalen Legende inspiriert wurde und den chinesischen Markt als Ziel hat“, sagte Jean-Michel Detoc, Manager von Ubisofts Mobile-Abteilung. „Wir sind sehr stolz, weil dies das erste Mal ist, dass Ubisoft ein Spiel ausschließlich für den chinesischen Markt entwickelt hat sowie die Veröffentlichung zunächst nur in diesem Raum stattfand, bevor es einige Monate später weltweit auf den Markt kommt.“

    Monkey King Escape ist ein Endless-Runner-Spiel, das auf der mythenhaften Welt des chinesischen Romans basiert

    Das einzigartige Setting des Spiels sowie die visuelle Atmosphäre, die die traditionelle Kunst der Fabel widerspiegelt, lassen die Spieler in die Welt des Affenkönigs eintauchen. Monkey King Escape erlaubt es den Spielern, durch faszinierende, farbenfrohe Umgebungen zu laufen, zu fliegen und zu springen. Um eine brandneue Erfahrung im Runner-Genre zu bieten, haben die Teams bei Ubisoft Chengdu Features hinzugefügt, wie QTE (Quick Time Events), bei denen die Spieler gegen Bossgegner in schnellen Kampfszenen kämpfen, und ein System, mit dem der Held sich in ein Tier verwandeln und dessen Spezialkräfte nutzen kann, um seine Fähigkeiten zu verbessern. Zum Beispiel sind in der chinesischen Kultur Kaninchen das Symbol für Wohlstand und sich in eins zu verwandeln, erlaubt den Spielern, ihre Einnahmen zu verdoppeln. Die Entwickler waren zudem darauf bedacht, ein Universum und eine Geschichte zu erschaffen, die der Legende treu sind und fügten Nebenfiguren mit Spezialkräften hinzu.

    The Back to the Future trilogy didn’t predict smartphones, but right now, a DeLorean iPhone case is the hottest accessory online, and for the affordable price of $50.

    As you can see from the images and video, it’s an amazingly detailed reproduction of the iconic movie vehicle, with the phone itself housed where the car’s chassis would go. There are built-in LED lights and even moveable parts that allow you to fully use your phone when it’s in the case. There are a few caveats, or at least for those who prefer function over form: the wheels are locked into hover mode and you need to slide the bonnet across to use the camera, and users also need to flip up one side to reach the volume buttons.

  • New smartphone battery recharges in less than two minutes

    New smartphone battery recharges in less than two minutes

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Your next smartphone could charge in less than two minutes.

    Since first showing off the lab-based prototype of its ultra-fast battery charger, the company behind the device has moved much closer to making it a reality.

    StoreDot, the nanotech startup behind the charger, has a new prototype that is smaller and doesn’t add bulk to the actual smartphone. During Mashable’s demo, the Galaxy S5 battery went from almost empty to 100% in less than two minutes.

    It almost sounds too good to be true but StoreDot CEO Doron Myersdorf says it’s because the company took a completely different approach when creating its battery. Rather than trying to improve the capacity of the battery itself, the company redesigned the internal structure of the battery so it can charge rapidly. The tradeoff for this speed is the overall battery life is shorter— the battery I saw will last about five hours.

    But by cutting charging time down to a minute or two— Mysersdorf says the final product will have a recharge time of well under two minutes— recharging once or twice a day is a nonissue.

    „This is not trivial, it took us a lot of research,“ Mysersdorf said. „This is a design that is trying to achieve something that was not the goal before. Nobody thought about giving you less energy ,everybody thought about giving you more energy.“

    There are some caveats. The battery is more expensive than typical batteries and Myersdorf anticipates the battery will add about $50 to the total cost of a phone. And though StoreDot has made prototypes that work with handsets currently on the market, smartphone manufacturers will have to make „some modifications“ to their devices in order to accommodate the battery. This means it will be up to individual companies to take advantage of the technology.
