Chinese developer and publisher Tencent Games have released a new trailer for their motion-controlled action RPG, Infinity Blade Saga, at their UP2015 Tencent Interactive Entertainment Annual Conference. Only the second half of the trailer is the Xbox One version, the first half is for a newly announced mobile version.
Top officials have held internal meetings to assess whether Tencent's investments in U.S. and Finnish gaming firms pose a national security risk, the newspaper said, citing several people familiar with the deliberations.
So big dumb orange man and his total disregard for the constitution has a say on this? Man just GTFO.
It looks very much like Tencent does not want to tangle with Sony on this one.
Why would anyone want to copy one of the most boring and blandest video game franchises ever anyway.
Well the why is simple they asked to collab on using the franchise and when denied like a caren couldn’t handle a NO so copy revenge it is
Yawn. It'd an outstanding series. HZD was one of the most innovative games out there on release. Forbidden west wasn't as great but boring and bland? 😂😂😂 anything but.
I thought from a video I watched saying that Sony and Tencent was working together to put out a Horizon game in China. But Sony backed out of deal for some reason. But not sure ?
I don’t remember hearing about this one but I wouldn’t be surprised there’s a bunch of Japanese and American IPs who are being used for games only available over there
Not quite - Tencent started working on it with the idea of pitching it to Sony. Ordinarily, Sony would have likely said yes, however they already have a Live Service game in development at Guerrila in addition to the Horizon MMO in development at NetEase. Seemingly, after getting the No, they've decided to just crack on with it anyway which is quite the bold move.
I imagine Tencent will need to make dramatic changes to the characters designs but outside of the art assets, the game doesn't share much in common with HZO or HFW - it's a live service survival game/minigames type thing. Of course, Sony are well within their rights to sue regardless of how the project first started.
Wuchang is clearly a soulslike but it has its own art style and slight twist on gameplay. That’s respectable to me. That should be the minimum. But when someone clearly ripsoff every aspect of a game I don’t care who made it I won’t buy it and they should have legal problems. Why not put the extra effort to make it clearly your own when you are spending so much time and money to begin with? It can be similar and still be your own. But this isn’t a Horizon-like it’s clearly a ripoff.
Civilization Mobile: World Origin, a strategy title based on the popular IP, has announced a closed beta testing in China.
