With the holidays offering plenty of free time for gamers to catch up on the first crop of next-generation titles, that extra Christmas money is already being spent on pre-orders for the big games of 2014. According to research firm Newzoo, the video game industry is expected to grow 7% from the $70.4 billion it's expected to generate this year, riding the wave of next-generation and lower-priced, current-generation hardware.

    "With two new consoles fresh on the market, it will be another very interesting year for the games industry," said Peter Warman, CEO of Newzoo. "Traditionally, current-gen console use outnumbers gamers on next-gen consoles for a number of years. To a large degree, games launched for the new devices will help determine the successful growth of next-gen consoles."

    With Xbox One and PS4 being neck-and-neck with visual fidelity and performance at this early juncture, exclusive games will be a key driver for Sony (SNE) and Microsoft(MSFT, Fortune 500). But the industry, as a whole, will continue to support the 80 million PS3s and 80 million Xbox 360s in homes around the world. Publishers will release many games across the key platforms (you'll notice, however, that Wii U isn't included in many publishers' plans) to deliver both a next-gen experience for early adopters as well as a current-gen game for the masses. The following list of 10 games focuses on some of the most anticipated officially announced cross-platform games from third-party publishers coming in 2014.

    每年年底这个节日扎堆的季节都为游戏玩家提供了很多尝鲜下一代电子游戏的时间，很多人已经用圣诞节奖金订购了2014年值得期待的几款大游戏。据研究公司Newzoo统计，随着新一代硬件投放市场及当前一代硬件的降价，今年视频游戏行业的市值预计将增长7%，达到704亿美元。

    Newzoo公司CEO彼得•沃尔曼认为：“随着两款新游戏机上市，今年对于游戏行业来说又将是非常有意思的一年。由于习惯原因，当前一代游戏机的玩家人数在几年内还将多于下一代游戏机的玩家人数。在很大程度上，针对新设备开发的游戏会有助于下一代游戏机的成功增长。”

    微软（Microsoft）的Xbox One和索尼（Sony ）PS4在视觉精细度和性能上可以说是针尖对麦芒，因而针对各自设备设计的独家游戏对于两家公司来说都将十分重要。但是整个行业仍然要在全球范围内支持8000万台PS3和8000万台Xbox 360的需求。各大游戏发行商仍将在各大主流平台上为当前一代和下一代游戏机的用户发布更多的游戏（不过任天堂的Wii U并不在很多发行商的计划内）。以下十款游戏就是各大发行商2014年最受期待的大作。

    Destiny

    • Studio: Activision/Bungie

    • Consoles: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC

    • Price: $60

    • Release date: Sept. 9, 2014

    The developer behind Halo has teamed up with the publisher behind Call of Duty to deliver a brand new sci-fi shooter experience. Destiny has been designed as an always connected experience that gamers can play solo or team up with friends in cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes that seamlessly combine public and social interactions. Players create a custom Guardian avatar, choosing from powerful hunters, warlocks, and titans, and set out to defend the last city on Earth using a combination of weapons and magic.

    This is the first original game from Bungie since Halo, and the studio reinvented the shooter genre with that franchise. The new focus on community and social play, which will invite multiple players to take a break from their individual or cooperative game experiences to team up and battle a giant enemy boss, has great promise. And even at this early stage, the game looks incredible, offering a wide variety of different worlds to explore and enemies to defeat.

    宿命

    • 制作方：Activision/Bungie

    • 平台：Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC

    《光晕》（Halo ）与《使命的召唤》（ Call of Duty）的发行商强强联合，为我们带来了一款全新的科幻射击体验游戏——《宿命》。这款游戏被设计成一种“永不断线”的游戏体验，玩家既可以单机游戏，也可以与朋友组队联机或互相竞技。玩家们会创建一个“守护者”的角色，可以选择猎人、术士和巨人等职业，通过一系列武器和魔法在游戏中保护地球上的最后一座城市。

    《宿命》是Bungie公司在《光晕》后的第一款诚意大作，而且Bungie公司彻底改造了这款游戏的射击风格。《宿命》还重点开发了社区和社交游戏功能，你可以邀请其他正在玩单机和竞技的玩家和你一起去打BOSS，这个功能会有广阔的前景。虽然这个游戏目前还在早期阶段，但看起来已经非常出色。它提供了很多不同的世界供人们探索，也有各种各样的敌人等待人们去挑战。

    • Consoles: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC

    • Price: $60

    • Release date: 2014

    Tom Clancy lives on in the virtual world, thanks to a deal he cut with Ubisoft (UBSFF) back in 2008 that granted the French game publisher ownership to his name and franchises across all media. Ubisoft has sold over 76 million Clancy games across franchises like Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and Rainbow Six. The Division is a brand new franchise, and the first that offers a persistent, connected online gameplay experience. Set in New York City three weeks after a lethal virus has transformed the city into a deadly wasteland, the President activates The Division, a top secret unit of tactical agents trained to operate independently of command.

    The online connected experience allows players to take on mission objectives solo or have friends jump in and out cooperatively at any time. The goal is to eradicate the virus and uncover who is behind it. The persistent online world will evolve over time based on your actions and those of other Division operatives. The latest real world weapons and cutting-edge technology will be at your disposal as the game blends action and role-playing elements with tactical decision-making. This one has all the elements of a great Clancy thriller.

    • 价格：60美元

    • 发布日期：2014年

    汤姆•克兰西的小说被搬到了虚拟世界里，这还要归功于2008年他与法国游戏商育碧公司（Ubisoft ）签定的一项合同，它使后者有权把他的所有作品搬到各个平台上。自那时起，育碧公司已经卖出了7600万份根据汤姆•克兰西小说改编的游戏拷贝，比如《分裂细胞》（Splinter Cell）、《幽灵行动》（Ghost Recon）、《彩虹六号》（Rainbow Six）等。《分裂集团》是一款全新的游戏，而且首次提供了一种持续在线的游戏体验。故事背景设置为一种致命病毒将纽约市变成死城之后的三周，总统激活了一个名叫“分裂集团”的绝密特工机构，它有权自行相机处置这个紧急情况。

    这款游戏既允许玩家单独游戏，也允许玩家的朋友在任何时间登入、登出与玩家并肩作战。游戏的目标就是要将病毒彻底根除，同时找出散布病毒的幕后黑手。随着你和其他玩家的进展，游戏中的世界也会随之进化。你在游戏中可以操作全球最先进的武器和科技成果，另外这款游戏还整合了火爆的动作场面以及战术决策元素。可以说这款游戏拥有了克兰西惊悚小说一切吸引人的元素。

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    • Studio: Bethesda Softworks, Zenimax Online Studios

    • Consoles: PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4

    • Price: $60

    • Release date: April 4, 2014 (PC), June 30, 2014 (Xbox One, Playstation 4)

    For 20 years, The Elder Scrolls games have provided console and PC gamers with massive storylines to explore with each blockbuster release. Given that a single game could captivate players for 80 hours or more, Zenimax Online Studios has upped the ante with the first massively multiplayer online (MMO) game set in this fantasy universe.

    Spanning locations from previous games such as Tamriel, Skyrim, Daggerfall, and Morrowind, players will create a character and embark on an epic role-playing experience. The entire game takes place on one massive server, which opens up new connected options for players embarking on solo quests. Alliances will be forged, opening up massive battles with hundreds of players on screen at once battling for one of three factions within the game. The Elder Scrolls games have managed to appeal to both a mainstream audience and core gamers over the years with gameplay that allows players to explore at their own pace and immerse themselves in the rich mythology. This game takes those trademarks online, creating a world that will continue to live on. This brand is one of very few that has the potential to take on Blizzard's World of Warcraft, and win.

    上古卷轴Online

    • 发行方：贝塞斯达、Zenimax在线工作室

    • 平台：PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4

    • 价格：60美元

    • 发布日期：2014年4月4日（PC）、2014年6月30日（Xbox One、PS4）

    20年来，《上古卷轴》（The Elder Scrolls）系列每次在游戏机端和PC端发布新游戏，都会为玩家提供庞大的故事场景让玩家尽情探索。由于每位玩家在这款游戏上投入的时间平均超过了80个小时，因此Zenimax Online工作室也再次提高了对旗下第一款大型在线多人游戏的赌注。

    《上古卷轴》的世界从《泰姆瑞尔》（Tamriel）、《天际》（Skyrim）、《坠匕》（Daggerfall）、《晨风》（Morrowind）等几款前作的基础上扩大了版图，玩家将会创建一个角色，然后开始一段史诗般的旅程。整个游戏建立在一个大型服务器上，玩家既可以独自进行任务，也可以结盟，而且游戏可以同时支持几百名三大阵营的玩家展开帮派大战。由于《上古卷轴》的游戏设置允许玩家根据自己的进度进行探索，加上庞大的神话背景令人欲罢不能，因此多年来一直牢牢吸引着广大主流玩家和骨灰级玩家们。而且这款游戏可以在网上进行交易，因此建立了一个可以持续驻扎的世界。《上古卷轴》的品牌也是极少数几个有潜力超越暴雪的《魔兽世界》（ World of Warcraft）的游戏之一。

    Game of Thrones

    • Studio: Telltale Games

    • Consoles: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Mac, Mobile

    • Price: TBD

    • Release date: 2014

    After experimenting with older Hollywood licenses like Jurassic Park and Back to the Future,Telltale Games delivered the critically acclaimed and award-winning The Walking Dead episodic interactive adventure. The Walking Dead games (a second season is in development) are based on Robert Kirkman's original comics, rather than the hit AMC TV show.

    Now the game developer is taking the same approach that saw The Walking Dead earn 90 Game of the Year awards in 2012 and apply it to Game of Thrones. The game makers are working with HBO to deliver an episodic adventure that follows George R.R. Martin's bestselling fantasy book series. While not much has been revealed about this just-announced game, it's expected to deliver virtual seasons of interactivity as players explore Westeros and the seven noble families vying for control of the Iron Throne and the Seven Kingdoms. A key focus for Telltale's games are the interpersonal relationships among characters and the hard decisions that need to be made. Game of Thrones is the perfect vehicle for this type of gameplay. And Telltale should deliver a much different experience than the free-to-play Game of Thrones Ascent Facebook game that's currently available from developer Disruptor Beam (and also licensed through HBO).

    权力的游戏

    • 发行方：Telltale Games

    • 平台：Xbox 360、PS3、PC、Mac、移动平台

    • 价格：待定

    • 发行日期：2014年

    试水改编好莱坞大片《侏罗纪公园》（Jurassic Park ）、《回到未来》（Back to the Future）的游戏版本后，Telltale Games公司又改编了广受好评的获奖作品《行尸走肉》（The Walking Dead）。不过要《行尸走肉》系列游戏（第二季正在研发中）并不是根据AMC电视台的热播美剧改编的，而是根据罗伯特•柯克曼的原创漫画改编的。

    《行尸走肉》于2012年获得多达90项年度游戏大奖后，这家公司又把相同的策略复制到了《权力的游戏》上。这家游戏公司正在与HBO电视台合作，共同改编这部知名作家乔治•R•R•马丁的畅销幻想小说《冰与火之歌》的第七部。虽然目前关于这部游戏，制作方透露的内容并不多，但是预计玩家会在游戏中探索维斯特洛大陆，同时游戏也将还原七大家族争夺王座以及七国相争的故事。Telltale公司出品的游戏有一个共同的特点，那就是角色之间的人际关系，以及玩家要在游戏中做出的一些艰难的决择，而《权力的游戏》正是这种游戏设置的完美载体。另外，Telltale改编的这款游戏应该也会与目前在Facebook平台上可以免费玩到的《权力的游戏：崛起》（由游戏开发商Disruptor Beam改编的社交游戏，同样也获得了HBO的授权）有着相当不同的体验。

    Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

    • Studio: Konami Digital Entertainment, Kojima Productions

    • Consoles: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC

    • Price: $60

    • Release date: 2014

    Gamers are in for a double-dose of Solid Snake from game director HideKojima. Developer Kojima Productions is first serving up a $30 Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes game in spring 2014 that will set the stage for the full-scale Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain game. This pair of games, running on brand new Fox Engine game technology, introduces open world gameplay to the bestselling Konami franchise.

    It's also the first time Kiefer Sutherland steps into the role of Solid Snake. Whether they employ stealth or run-and-gun tactics, it's now completely up to players how they want to accomplish missions in these huge interactive playgrounds. Ground Zeroes boasts a central story mode that will lead into the events of The Phantom Pain, while delivering Side Ops missions ranging from tactical action, aerial assaults, and covert missions. The Phantom Painis set in 1984, after Snake has awakened from a nine-year coma with a prosthetic hand and enemy soldiers infiltrating the hospital he's in. The game's story sends the newly dubbed Punished Snake on a mission to find out who sabotaged him. The open world setting, which features plenty of combat in Afghanistan, should open up this already popular game to an even bigger audience. Look for both Snake titles to rise to the top of the sales charts.

    合金装备V：原爆点

    • 制作方：科乐美数码娱乐、小岛工作室

    • 平台：Xbox One、PS4、Xbox 360、PS3、PC

    • 价格：60美元

    • 发行日期：2014年

    感谢游戏总监小岛秀夫的操刀，玩家们一定会从这款游戏中获得双倍的快感。小岛工作室（Kojima Productions）首先将于2014年春推出一部价格为30美元的《合金装备：原爆点》（Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes），来为稍后推出的完整巨制《合金装备V：幻痛》（Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain）搭台。这两款游戏将运行全新的Fox游戏引擎技术，为玩家带来开放世界的游戏设置。

    另外，这也是美剧《24小时》的主演基弗•萨瑟兰首次为斯内克这一角色献声。不管玩家是在进行秘密潜入，还是开火强攻，玩家现在可以完全自己决定怎样完成任务。《原爆点》走的是一个主线故事模式，最终会把情节引入《幻痛》的设置中。同时，《原爆点》也有一些支线任务，包括战术行动、空中打击以及秘密任务等。《幻痛》的背景设置在1984年，当时主角斯内克刚刚从长达九年的昏迷中被唤醒，一只手还成了假手，而且敌方士兵已经渗透进了他所在的医院，斯内克必须找出要害他的人。这款游戏的开放世界设置也包括很多场发生在阿富汗的战斗，因此有望为这款原本已经非常流行的游戏带来更多的新玩家。预计这两款游戏都可能跻身销量榜的前列。

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    • Studio: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Monolith Productions

    • Consoles: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC

    • Price: $60

    • Release date: TBD

    While the new LEGO: The Hobbit game from developer TT Games is sure to be a hit in 2014, the game J.R.R. Tolkien fans are really salivating over is Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. This action role-playing game is a virtual prequel to The Lord of the Rings books (and films). Set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, players take on the role of the resurrected ranger Talion, who seeks revenge for the murder of his family by Sauron's army.

    Players will explore Mordor before it's transformed into the dark hell depicted in the books and movies. Developer Monolith Productions is using new Nemesis System technology to deliver a personalized gameplay experience. Every enemy player's face has a name and a personality and, if not killed, they'll grow in power and become archenemies as the game's story progresses. This promises to create a unique fantasy experience for players as they explore a brand new chapter in Tolkien's universe filled with new monsters and surprises.

    中土世界：暗影魔多

    • 发行方：华纳兄弟、互动娱乐、Monolith Productions

    • 平台：Xbox One、PS4、Xbox 360、PS3、PC

    • 价格：60美元

    • 发行日期：待定

    虽然TT Games公司开发的《乐高：霍比特人》（LEGO: The Hobbit ）游戏肯定会在2014年大卖，但托尔金的粉丝们仍然对另一部大作《中土世界：暗影魔多》（Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor）垂涎不已。这款角色扮演游戏是《指环王》系列小说和电影的前传，故事背景设置在《霍比特人》与《指环王》的时代之间。玩家将扮演一位死而复生的游侠泰利昂（Talion）。他的家人被索伦杀害，复活后寻找索伦及其军团复仇。

    玩家将会探索后来在电影和小说中变成黑暗地狱之前的魔多。游戏开发商Monolith 公司使用了全新的“复仇女神”系统技术，塑了一种个性化的全新游戏体验。每个敌人的脸上都有名字，而且都有自己的性格。只要没被杀掉，他们的力量就会逐渐增长，随着游戏进程的推进变得越来越棘手。这使玩家在探索托尔金的又一经典史诗巨著中的世界时，能够发现这个世界到处都有新的怪物和惊喜，创造一种独特的幻想体验。

    Thief

    • Studio: Square Enix, Eidos Montreal

    • Consoles: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC

    • Price: $60

    • Release date: Feb. 25, 2014

    This reboot of the successful PC franchise re-imagines the world of Thief, while retaining the stealth first-person action gameplay that made the original games stand out from the crowd. Players will slip into the role of Garrett, a master thief who's not a swash-buckling warrior.

    Gameplay revolves around Garrett's cunning and sleight-of-hand, rather than swordplay, which is refreshing in this day and age. He is adept with a bow and arrow, which is the primary weapon in the game. The open world at your disposal is called The City, which harkens back to post-Victorian era London. After being away for some time, Garrett returns to find a rotting and dismal landscape and embarks on a mission to re-establish himself within town as the master thief, while hunting down an ex-apprentice who's gone rogue. It's up to the player how they go about robbing from the rich and corrupt Baron and his cohorts through an assortment of "jobs" available for thieves. The evolving story, which involves a revolution, reveals itself through interactions and eavesdropping on characters. There's also multiplayer gameplay to keep fans coming back for more after the campaign has been completed.

    神偷

    • 发行方：Square Enix、Eidos Montreal

    • 平台：Xbox One、PS4、Xbox 360、PS3、PC

    • 价格：60美元

    • 发行日期：2014年2月25日

    热门PC游戏《神偷》（Thief）的重新启动再次为我们开启了神偷加勒特的世界，同时也保留了让这款游戏与众不同的第一人称风格。玩家们会扮演“盗圣”加勒特的角色——他并不是一个雄壮花哨的战士，而是一个宗师级的盗贼。

    游戏的设置主要围绕加勒特的狡诈和高超的盗窃技巧展开，在这个到处以刀光剑影取胜的时代，这种设置让人精神一振。加勒特擅用弓箭，这也是他在游戏里的主要武器。游戏中的开放世界就叫做“城”，城市给人的感觉像后维多利亚时代的伦敦。离开城市一段时间之后，加勒特回到这片黑暗堕落之地，决定重塑自己在城市中的神偷地位，另外还要抓到的一个走上邪路的弟子。玩家可以通过一系列提供给盗贼的任务，自行决定怎样从富有腐败的男爵及其走狗那里抢钱。另外，故事会在角色执行任务时偷听到的只言片语中展开主线，包括城市中酝酿着的一场革命。此外，为了吸引玩家在任务完成之后再回来，游戏还支持多人模式。

    Titanfall

    • Studio: Electronic Arts, Respawn Entertainment

    • Consoles: Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC

    • Price: $60

    • Release date: March 11, 2014

    Respawn Entertainment was founded by the ex-heads of Infinity Ward, creators ofActivision's (ATVI) Call of Duty franchise. Now aligned with Electronic Arts (EA), the development studio hopes to push the shooter genre forward with this new franchise. Titanfall does away with the campaign mode altogether, given that Respawn noticed most gamers ignore single-player and jumped into multiplayer.

    What's in store for gamers is a streamlined multiplayer experience that takes the best elements of various shooter franchises out there and wraps them into a truly original battlefield. Players can take control of giant hulking mechs, called Titans, which are controlled by agile pilots. This opens up combat that includes on-foot and short-distance jetpack fighting with pilots, while Titans are battling it on a much larger scale. With such varying styles of gameplay, multiplayer maps like Angel City are always fresh with new challenges. Respawn has also added scripted events to the multiplayer, creating Hollywood-style, tentpole moments to the frenetic action. At the end of the day, Titanfall is just fun to play. It has a low learning curve and endless replay value, thanks to a steady flow of new maps and downloadable content.

    泰坦陨落

    • 发行方：电子艺界、Respawn Entertainment

    • 平台：Xbox One、Xbox 360、PC

    • 价格：60美元

    • 发行日期：2014年3月11日

    Respawn Entertainment公司是由Infinity Ward公司的几位前高管创立的，后者则是美国动视经典之作《使命的召唤》系列（ Call of Duty ）的开发者。此次Respawn联手电子艺界（ Electronic Arts ），立志要通过这款游戏将射击体验推向新的高度。《泰坦陨落》（Titanfall ）彻底取消了任务模式，因为Respawn公司注意到大多数游戏玩家选择忽略单人模式，直接进入多人战。

    这款游戏为玩家奉上的是一种经过优化的多人游戏体验，它整合了当前多个热门射击游戏的最佳元素，而且把它们整合到一个真正原创的战场上。玩家可以作为驾驶员操纵巨大的机甲（也叫“泰坦”）投入战斗。另外，游戏不仅支持驾驶员的肉身进行战斗，驾驶员还可以通过背负的火箭喷射包进行短距离跳跃和飞行，与泰坦展开缠斗。有了多种多样的战斗模式，像天使之城这样的多人对战地图对于玩家来说就会一直充满新的挑战。另外Respawn公司还为多人模式添加了一些任务脚本，可以营造出好莱坞大片式的、令人肾上腺素飙升的激战场景。总的来说，《泰坦陨落》是一款很有乐趣的游戏。它上手不难，而且由于制造公司不断推出新地图和新内容供玩家下载，因此就算重复玩起来依旧有无穷的乐趣。

    Watch Dogs

    • Studio: Ubisoft

    • Consoles: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC

    • Price: $60

    • Release date: June 30, 2014

    Fans of the hit CBS show Person of Interest will find some similarities with the themes of Watch Dogs. While the TV show is set in New York City and this game takes place in Chicago, both focus on Big Brother's watchful eye. With the recent NSA spying revelations,Watch Dogs launches at an interesting time.

    Gamers take control of Aiden Pearce, a hacker with the ability to tap into any camera, any computer and even any smartphone in the city. Players turn into a new age superhero, or super villain, depending on the choices they make throughout the course of this open-world game. The entire city of Chicago is at your command, as Aiden can control everything from traffic lights to trains through the Central Operations System (ctOS). The game blends on-foot stealth and action gameplay with driving (more than 65 vehicles are available), allowing players to work their way through the overarching storyline any way they wish. And multiplayer allows players to hack into other player's games and toy with them in different ways.

    看门狗

    • 发行方：育碧

    • 平台：Xbox One、PS4、Xbox360、PS3、PC

    • 价格：60美元

    • 发行日期：2013年6月30日

    CBS热门美剧《疑犯追踪》（Person of Interest）的粉丝们应该会发现它与《看门狗》（Watch Dogs）的主题有些相似之处。虽说《疑犯追踪》的背景设定在纽约，《看门狗》的故事发生在芝加哥，但是二者的主题都是“老大在盯着你”。尤其是最近斯诺登泄密事件曝光后，《看门狗》推出的时机真是耐人寻味。

    玩家们在游戏中控制着一个名叫艾登•皮尔斯的特工，凭借高超的黑客技术，他可以黑入这个城市的任何一个摄像头、任何一台电脑、甚至是任何一部智能手机。到底是变成新时代的超级英雄，还是变成一个超级恶棍，全在玩家的一念之间。整个芝加哥市都任你掌控，艾登可以通过“中央控制系统”控制大到火车、小到红绿灯的所有东西。游戏整合了潜入、动作、飙车（可用车辆超过65台）等风格，玩家可以自己决定游戏主线朝着任何方向发展。而且游戏还支持多人模式，允许玩家黑入其他玩家的游戏里搞各种小动作。

    The Witcher 3: Witch Hunt

    • Studio: CD Projekt Red

    • Consoles: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC

    • Price: $60

    • Release date: 2014

    Developer CD Projekt has created the third game in its bestselling franchise exclusively for PC and next-gen consoles. If you haven't played the first two games in this franchise, they're worth your time. But they won't be required for players who are jumping into this fantasy world for the first time. Based on bestselling Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski's novels, Witch Hunt wowed gamers at the German Gamescom convention with its next-generation visuals.

    But what will ultimately captivate gamers are the deep and complex relationships that develop throughout the game's storyline. Gamers will be challenged to make hard choices throughout the epic adventure as the world evolves based on each decision that the protagonist, Geralt, who's a Witcher, makes. There will also be plenty of vicious monsters to slay, inspired by European ghost stories and Celtic legend. A dynamic weather system and day/night cycle impacts the gameplay, as some creatures only come out in the dark. This game promises to deliver the first truly next-gen fantasy role-playing experience.

    巫师3：狂猎

    • 发行方：CD Projekt Red

    • 平台：Xbox One、PS4、PC

    • 价格：60美元

    • 发行日期：2014年

    只能在PC和下一代游戏机上玩的《巫师》系列马上就要迎来第三部了。如果你没玩过前两部的话，它们绝对值得你花时间玩一玩。但是对于首次跳到《巫师》系列的玩家来说，要玩《巫师3》并不一定要先玩一、二两部打底。《巫师》根据波兰畅销作家萨普科夫斯基的小说改编，《巫师3：狂猎》凭借下一代的精美视效，在德国科隆游戏展上惊艳了无数玩家。

    但是最吸引玩家的仍然是贯穿游戏主线的角色之间深入复杂的人际关系。作为游戏的主角，巫师盖略特（Geralt）在这场史诗般的旅程中每做出一个重要的决定，都会对游戏世界产生微妙的影响，使玩家在旅程中不得不做出一些艰难的抉择。游戏中也有很多的怪要杀，许多怪物的形象都来自欧洲的鬼故事和凯尔特人的传说。另外，动态的天气系统和日夜交替模式也令人称道，而且有些生物只在晚上才出来。这款游戏一定会第一次给你带来真正的下一代第一人称幻想游戏的体验。（财富中文网）
