One of the areas Pocket Gamer will be following closely in the coming months is Google's new Android platform for smartphones, which at GDC Mobile last month was eliciting a lot of enthusiasm from mobile developers.
Some have got their Android on already, though, and are developing games for the platform. One example is Parallel Kingdom, a medieval-themed MMORPG game that'll include GPS-powered location features.
It's due out later this year, soon after the first Android phones go on sale, although an iPhone version is also in the works. Pocket Gamer asked Justin Beck, CEO of Parallel Kingdom (the company), some questions to find out more.
Growth driven by digital software and console hardware sales.
The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
These new paid games, game trials and “buy once, play anywhere” pricing are coming to Play.
