手機游戲Destiny迎來網民巨大熱情
It cost half a billion U.S. dollars to develop, but the creators of 'Destiny' are confident it will be the next big thing in the video gaming world. SOUNDBITE: Destiny fan, Demario Grant, saying (English): "The game looks amazing, I've seen the graphics, it looks quality, and yeah, can't wait to get into it." SOUNDBITE: Unidentified gamer, saying (English): "The game's massive, the map's massive, it's endless, that's the way gaming should be." 'Destiny' combines a traditional shooting game format and a role-playing set-up. Gamers can be "Guardians", protecting the last city on post-apocalyptic earth in a real-time, on-line world. Activision, the U.S.'s largest video game publisher by revenue, funded Destiny's developer, Bungie.
Wesley Yin-Poole, a journalist with 'Eurogamer' website, says he thinks that investment will pay off. SOUNDBITE: Wesley Yin-Poole, 'Eurogamer' journalist, saying (English): "I guess it's kind of like shooting a rocket into space right? You need to spend a lot of energy on the fuel just to get it up in the air, but once you get it out in to orbit the sort of forces and gravity do its work, and it's a lot easier ride." And on the stroke of midnight, fans finally got their hands on their long-awaited obsession. Analysts say that to break even, Activision will have to sell between 15 million and 16 million $60-units of the game. And judging by these fans Destiny's future looks bright.
