无延迟云技术即将问世！无需安装运行3A级大作

Approxy公司今日宣布它会在本周的伦敦动漫展上，借用Nordic Games工作室的《致命冒险（Deadfall Adventures）》游戏来展示它们的无延迟云游戏技术。Approxy表示致命冒险（Deadfall Adventures）》游戏会以一种游戏界此前从未目睹过的方式运行。

Approxy一直在致力于云技术的开发和推广，它的业务主要是为希望降低发售成本的AAA级游戏的发行公司提供云游戏服务，其最大的优势是开发商不必为使用了这种服务对游戏软件做出任何改变。

Nordic Games的市场营销总监Nick Blower在接受采访时说：Approxy的系统能打破原有网速的限制，扩大整个游戏的受众面。我们很高兴能用我们的游戏为它提供支持。

Approxy公司的首席运营官Bartu Ahiska则说：Approxy所提供的产品使用了目前最先进的第四代Cloudpaging技术，比之前其他公司所公布的云游戏技术都更加稳定、经济，网络效率更高。使用了其云技术的用户可以快速进行游戏，无需安装、无需下载补丁，不稳定的网络连接也不再是问题，玩家甚至还可以在离线状态下使用他们的服务。而且使用该技术之后，玩家购买的游戏游戏连带补丁、插件和模组都会自动出现在游戏库里。

这听起来真的十分神奇，不过“无延迟云技术”是不是有开发商夸得这么好只能在到下周的伦敦动漫展上见分晓啦。

Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse - Episode One Coming December December 4



Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent's Curse: Episode One to release December 4th 2013

Revolution Software has today confirmed that Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse will release worldwide for PC on December 4th. In addition, the developer has revealed that this Broken Sword adventure will, unlike any before, run over two thrilling episodes, concluding in January 2014.

The game set crowdfunding records for a UK-developed game back in September 2012, when it raised $850,000 from 15,000 backers on Kickstarter. Those that pledged to receive a PC, Mac or Linux copy of the game will get each episode as it become available.

The first episode will debut on PC, Mac and Linux through Steam, GOG.com, and Revolution’s own website store on December 4th, with a PlayStation Vita version to follow later in the month. The concluding episode of the game will be published on PC in January 2014. iOS and Android versions will follow shortly after each PC episode.

“Whilst this is very much a classic Broken Sword game in terms of production values and sense of adventure, we’re really breaking new ground with The Serpent’s Curse,” says Charles Cecil, Founder & CEO, Revolution Software. “The success of our Kickstarter appeal has allowed us to be hugely ambitious – each episode is a full sized game in its own right. So we will be publishing two action-packed adventures in close succession. The response to those that have seen the game so far has been hugely positive – some suggesting that this is the best Broken Sword yet.”

When a mysterious painting is stolen during an armed raid on a Paris gallery, George Stobbart and Nico Collard are thrown, seemingly by chance, into the investigation together. From Paris to London and beyond, the trail becomes a race against time as dark forces from Europe's turbulent past are woken from their slumber. Broken Sword characters old and new are encountered - but who can George and Nico trust? The journey they are on reveals a conspiracy as old as the written word, whose ancient heresies will cause innocent blood to spill once more...

A classic point and click that feels utterly contemporary, Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent’s Curse has re-united key members from the Broken Sword team, with layout artists from studios such as Disney, Aardman, and Universal who have created sumptuous, classically drawn backgrounds. The rich, lavish HD art, evolves the art-style so loved in the previous Broken Sword games.

Episode 1 will be released on December 4th for PC, priced ￡9.99 per episode, ￡14.99 if both episodes are bought together. Price and release dates for other formats to be confirmed.
