主播：恶霸波、野人、小朱、小软后期：恶霸波文案：醒醒视觉：西森PC平台1.11月28日，TGA腾讯电竞运动会官方宣布，腾讯入亚项目测试赛暨2022TGA冬季总决赛-拱墅区亚运倒计时300天系列活动即将开始。涉及《英雄联盟》《王者荣耀》《和平精英》《FIFA Online4》四个项目。2.EA近期发布了一个名为“检测在线游戏中的串通行为”的专利，旨在阻止玩家故意输掉比赛以帮助对方获胜的现象，类似“演员”行为。并对嫌疑玩家进行惩罚，包括取消游戏内奖励甚至封禁。然而，这个专利引发了对于玩家数据隐私的担忧。据了解，EA该专利由Exputer发现，介绍称它将分析比赛中敌对双方的玩家之间过往是否有过互动行为，包括对话以及合作游玩记录。该专利似乎还将分析玩家在实际游戏之外的互动，有可能获得通过Xbox或PlayStation账户上传的信息。因此就带来了许多隐私问题，因为它有可能让管理员阅读玩家的私人信息。此专利主要关注游戏中的行为，并提供了一个检测清单，会在以下“社交关系”中检测游戏串通行为。包括“游戏内聊天和大厅聊天”“其他游戏平台或系统聊天”“游戏平台或系统支持的直接消息”等。EA这项新专利是否能在某种程度上符合隐私法的规定，还有待观察。EA方指出，这种反作弊机制的实施将“符合隐私政策”和“符合玩家的隐私设置或偏好”。主机平台1.由叠纸游戏研发的中国风开放世界动作游戏新作《百面千相》，于11月10日正式公开首部宣传PV，官方网站也同步上线。11月28日，官方进行了直播实机演示。直播结束后，官方宣布本作的预约人数已成功突破了20万。本作的战斗模式使用的是以快节奏攻防转换为核心的冷兵器交锋动作系统，努力为玩家带来充满动作感的战斗体验。角色的动作设计不仅体现出了中国风特色，而且具备丰富的派生机制。玩家可以通过对敌人战斗方式的理解，以及对动作系统的熟练运用，获得兼具挑战性与成就感的战斗体验。《百面千相》构建了一个立意于探讨人的不同信念的奇幻世界。玩家将作为百面先师，行走在祸乱世间，与众多殊途之人结识，理解其信念并化为面具，付诸最残酷的交锋之中。期待玩家在其中感受到具有中国味的开放世界叙事和战斗体验。本作将会登陆PS5、PC、IOS和安卓等平台，目前尚未公布确切发售日。2.据外媒报道，微软在一份声明中表示，索尼可以选择将第一方或第三方游戏首日加入PS Plus来与XGP抗衡。微软表示，即使自己通过《使命召唤》扩大了Game Pass的阵容，CMA也必须确保索尼不会通过投资或者改进服务来作出回击。很明显，索尼也有一系列的方法来提高PS+的竞争地位。至少，索尼可以将第一方和第三方游戏首发加入PS+。手游平台1.据新浪科技消息，伽马数据11月23日发布《2022年10月游戏产业报告》，10月中国游戏市场实际销售收入197.68亿元，近6个月内环比首次出现增长，同比降18.10%。其中，移动游戏市场实际销售收入135.55亿元，环比由负转正。本月付费时长变长，7天国庆长假带动用户活跃时长增加；移动游戏产品流水普遍高于上月，头部移动产品《火影忍者》《率土之滨》带来较多增量。2.据知名分析师Daniel Ahmad消息，美少女射击游戏《胜利女神：妮姬》的首月收入有望超过1亿美元。而其中，日本、韩国以及美国贡献占比前三。本作已经于11月4日全球公测，预约阶段本作的预约数就达到了300万。本作由《剑灵》前美术总监金亨泰创立的游戏工作室“Shift Up”制作，腾讯Level Infinite负责发行。

- World of Warcraft acabará con la histórica e inamovible rivalidad entre Alianza y Horda: podrán colaborar en raids, mazmorras y PvP clasificatorio. Esta novedad, que llegará con la versión 9.2.5, será opcional y controlada, y estará permitida exclusivamente en modos específicos más relacionados con la competición, según comentan desde Blizzard. - Los usuarios que detectaron la brecha de seguridad en los servidores de Dark Souls 3 temen por lo que pueda ocurrir con el lanzamiento de Elden Ring. Tras el descubrimiento que provocó hace una semana la desactivación del modo online en la trilogía de Dark Souls en PC para investigar a fondo el problema —hablamos aquí de robo de datos o minado de criptomonedas—, uno de los usuarios que alertaron sobre esta brecha ha concedido unas declaraciones a VGC en las que afirmaba que en Bandai Namco siempre han estado al tanto de estas graves fallas en la seguridad, notificadas en numerosas ocasiones, y que siempre las han ignorado hasta ahora, por la repercusión que obtuvieron en redes. - EA se fortalece gracias a Apex Legends y se debilita debido a Battlefield 2042. Estas y otras cuestiones han sido detalladas en el análisis de resultados del último trimestre de EA, cómodamente resumido en Twitter por el analista Daniel Ahmad. En cuanto al futuro, podemos seguir esperando títulos de deportes, Star Wars en Respawn Entertainment, títulos de Bioware, y otras tantas iteraciones de IPs ya conocidas. - El New York Times compra Wordle, el juego de palabras que tan viral se ha hecho en las últimas semanas. No se conocen detalles sobre la opreración, pero se ha mencionado que la suma en cuestión sería de siete cifras. Esta adquisición, muy acorde con la importancia que suele darle el New York Times a los pasatiempos, impulsará al periódico para conseguir su objetivo de 10 millones de suscripciones para 2025. - El equipo de desarrollo de Gwent, el juego de cartas de The Witcher, está trabajando en un nuevo título de cartas independiente al que, por ahora, se le conoce como Project Golden Nekker. Según el jefe de comunicaciones de Gwent, el objetivo principal con este título sería el de ofrecer una «cautivadora experiencia para un jugador», pensando en los jugadores que prefieren esto a el multijugador competitivo. Vladimir Tortsov, el director de Gwent, ha compartido algunas imágenes de arte conceptual del título, para ir abriendo boca. - Xbox anuncia la primera tanda de juegos del Game Pass de febrero. Y diría que es de las más flojitas que recuerdo: destacaría Telling Lies, Dreamscaper y Ark, pero con la boquita pequeña. Puedes encontrarme en Twitter como @nachocerrato.

- Crytek anuncia que Crysis 4 está en camino. A través de un teaser de poco menos de un minuto en su cuenta de Twitter, los creadores de esta saga que comenzó allá por 2007 como exclusivo de PC, han confirmado lo que ya se esperaba desde la gran filtración de GeForce Now. Han pasado 9 años desde Crysis 3, y sabiendo cómo exprimen al máximo las posibilidades técnicas del momento para sus títulos en Crytek, estoy deseando ver lo que tienen entre manos. - 2021 ha sido el mejor año de Xbox en cuanto a ingresos, según ha revelado la propia Microsoft. El crecimiento con respecto a 2020 ha sido de un 17.07%, obteniendo este último año 16.280 millones de dólares. El analista Daniel Ahmad ha compartido una serie de gráficos muy interesantes entre los que podemos ver, entra otras cosas, el peso que tienen en Xbox el contenido y los servicios frente al hardware: un 77% de los ingresos frente a un 23% (y esto aún habiendo aumentado los ingresos por hardware en un 63% debido a las nuevas consolas). - Halo Infinite supera los 20 millones de jugadores. Así lo anunciaban desde Microsoft y 343 Industries, en lo que supone la constatación de que estamos ante el mayor lanzamiento de la historia de la franquicia. Evidentemente, influye aquí haber sido el primer Halo en lanzarse desde el primer día en Game Pass, además de contar con el multijugador Free-To-Play. - Capcom también ha conseguido beneficios récord en 2021, y Resident Evil: Village está muy cerca de superar las 6 millones de copias vendidas. El fantástico catálogo que han ido confeccionando los últimos años desde Capcom ha ido dando sus frutos cosechando así la compañía el mejor trimestre de su historia gracias, sobre todo, a las sagas Resident Evil y Monster Hunter. - Frost Giant Studios, el estudio que fundasen ex desarrolladores de Blizzard a finales de 2020, comenzará a desarrollar un nuevo RTS en Unreal Engine 5 tras haber alcanzado la financiación que consideraban necesaria. Finalmente, tras conseguir en su última ronda de inversión asegurarse unos 25 millones de dólares provenientes de Riot Games y Kakao Games, dispondrán de un montante total de 35 millones para afrontar el desarrollo. - Battlefield 2042 ha salido de la lista de los 50 títulos más jugados en Xbox a tan solo 2 meses desde su lanzamiento. Por poner en perspectiva la magnitud de la catástrofe, Battlefield 2042 es a día de hoy menos jugado que For Honor, Marvel's Avengers o Star Wars Battlefront. - Ya conocemos los juegos que llegarán al PS Plus en el mes de febrero. Y cada mes, podría titular este acontecimiento con un característico «Oh shit, here we go again». Bromas aparte, destacaría UFC 4, un título de lucha muy correcto y que se agradece bastante en estos regalitos mensuales. Lo acompañan Planet Coaster: Console Edition y Tina Chiquitina Asalta la Mazmorra del Dragon: Una Aventura Única.

- Sony rectifica y permitirá actualizar gratuitamente todas las versiones de «Horizon Forbidden West» de PS4 a PS5. Pero avisan de que este será el último juego de Playstation Studios con esta política de actualizaciones. - Shawn Layden se muestra preocupado por el futuro de la industria, especialmente en referencia a los grandes lanzamientos. El coste de producción de estos títulos estaría aumentando cada generación de forma exponencial, comprometiendo su sostenibilidad. - Se filtra el remaster de Alan Wake, que llegaría el 5 de octubre para PS4/PS5 y Xbox Series X/S. Daniel Ahmad se hace eco de la filtración, y comenta que podrían anunciarlo esta misma semana. Puedes encontrarme en Twitter como @nachocerrato.

The Chinese mobile market is expected to reach 21 billion Dollars in 2020 growing a staggering 17% year-over-year. In addition to having this massive - and from the Western perspective nearly impenetrable - home market, Chinese publishers have been having ever more success in the West. Deconstructor of Fun podcast is joined by Daniel Ahmad, Yang Liu, and Eric Kress to discuss the characteristics of the Chinese mobile games market and how Western developers could better compete against their Chinese counterparts. The topics covered are: Why are Chinese games are succeeding in the West when hit titles from Korea and Japan are struggling? Most Western hits haven’t become big in China. Why is that? Is there a moat that Western publishers can build against Chinese rivals in the West? What policies can be made to even out the competition? What is the market going to look like in 3 - 5 years? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/deconstructoroffun/support

While past years have shown a rise in the number of games hitting Steam, the jump from 2018 to 2019 was significantly less dramatic than years past. According to data from third-party tracker SteamSpy spotted by Kotaku, 2019 yielded around 8,400 new releases on Steam, only a small increase from 2018's 8,195 releases. Previous years often saw increases in the thousands--2017, for instance, saw 6,322 releases while 2016 yielded 4,400 new titles--making this latest addition a bit of an anomaly. That Kotaku writeup on the shift dives a bit deeper into why things look to have leveled out somewhat, and talks with SteamSpy founder (and current Epic Games Store publishing strategy director) Sergey Galyonkin to explore what factors might impact the data pulled from Steam. Though, as an added caveat, Niko Partners' Daniel Ahmad points out on Twitter that SteamSpy's data itself has been known to fluctuate as time goes on, which makes an exact read on Steam trends a bit more difficult to gauge. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pixel-sultan/support

While past years have shown a rise in the number of games hitting Steam, the jump from 2018 to 2019 was significantly less dramatic than years past.

Early last year, the central government put a freeze on gaming approvals, shutting out many big titles from making money, including PUBG and Fortnite. However, in December, they reopened approvals only to find themselves with a 6-month backlog, leaving giants Tencent and Netease still unable to monetize their biggest hits. Daniel Ahmad, analyst at Niko Partners, joins us again to talk gaming regulation in China, the role of mini games in the WeChat vs Douyin battle, and how Steam is faring in the Middle Kingdom.
