  • Super Bomberman R Online Erscheint Schon Bald Auch Für Playstation, Xbox, Switch Und Pc
    PRESSEMELDUNG 16. März 2021 SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE ERSCHEINT SCHON BALD AUCH FÜR PLAYSTATION, XBOX, SWITCH UND PC Konami Digital Entertainment, B.V. verkündete heute, dass SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE schon sehr bald Free-to-play* für PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™und PC via Steam als digitaler Download zur Verfügung stehen wird. *Je nach Plattform kann ein kostenpflichtiges Abonnement zum Onlinespielen benötigt werden (separat erhältlich). Ursprünglich für Stadia veröffentlicht, orientiert sich SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE an beliebten Spielelementen von Super Bomberman R – natürlich samt Rückkehr der acht Bomberman Bros – und bietet den Spielern einen aufregenden Online-Battle-Royale mit bis zu 64 Spielern im für die Reihe neuen “Kampf 64”-Modus. Official Website – LINK Stadia Store Page – LINK Während Bomberman mit dem Gameplay zurückkehrt, welches das Franchise einst zu einem Partyspiel-Klassiker machte – durch Schlachtfelder sprengen und versteckte Power-ups finden und diese nutzen, um Gegner wegzupusten – bricht die Action in SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE mit dem “Kampf 64”-Modus zu neuen Höhenflügen auf. In diesem originellen Battle Royale-Erlebnis verteilen sich bis zu 64 Spieler auf 16 Start-Schlachtfelder. Mit jedem beendeten Schlachtfeld und besiegten Spielern verringert sich die Anzahl der zur Verfügung stehenden Schlachtfelder weiter, bis zum ultimativen Kampf um den Titel zwischen den letzten Überlebenden. SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE bringt über 100 Individualisierungsmöglichkeiten wie zahlreiche Kostüme, Accessoires und, zum ersten Mal überhaupt, Skins für die Bomben, die sowohl die Bombe selbst als auch die Explosion der Bombe optisch verändern. Die Spieler können sich mit dem optionalen Premium-Pack (UVP 9,99 €) noch weiter von der Masse abheben und erhalten Zugriff auf 14 zusätzliche Bomber-Charaktere, die eine Hommage an klassische KONAMI-IPs wie Gradius, Silent Hill, Castlevania und mehr darstellen.

  • The History of Video Game Music from a Production Perspective
    Digital Worlds: The History of Video Game Music From a Production Perspective by Griffin Tyler A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Bachelor in Arts Music The Colorado College April, 2021 Approved by ___________________________ Date __May 3, 2021_______ Prof. Ryan Banagale Approved by ___________________________ Date ___________________May 4, 2021 Prof. Iddo Aharony 1 Introduction In the modern era of technology and connectivity, one of the most interactive forms of personal entertainment is video games. While video games are arguably at the height of popularity amid the social restrictions of the current Covid-19 pandemic, this popularity did not pop up overnight. For the past four decades video games have been steadily rising in accessibility and usage, growing from a novelty arcade activity of the late 1970s and early 1980s to the globally shared entertainment experience of today. A remarkable study from 2014 by the Entertainment Software Association found that around 58% of Americans actively participate in some form of video game use, the average player is 30 years old and has been playing games for over 13 years. (Sweet, 2015) The reason for this popularity is no mystery, the gaming medium offers storytelling on an interactive level not possible in other forms of media, new friends to make with the addition of online social features, and new worlds to explore when one wishes to temporarily escape from the monotony of daily life. One important aspect of video game appeal and development is music. A good soundtrack can often be the difference between a successful game and one that falls into obscurity.

  • Silent Hill: Book of Memories Enters New Chapter on November 8 Th
    Silent Hill: Book of Memories enters new chapter on th November 8 Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced the Australian release date for Silent Hill: Book of Memories on PlayStation(R)Vita, as November 8th. Sydney, Australia, Oct 11 - Developed by WayForward, the new game marks the first appearance of the acclaimed horror series on PlayStation(R)Vita. The game also introduces multiplayer elements to the series for the first time, as players work together within the mist-shrouded areas of the titular town. Silent Hill: Book of Memories begins with the player selecting a customisable character. The player then receives a book which, it transpires, has the power to change the past. The action takes the form of a skewed top-down adventure with the emphasis on action and exploration. Players are thus challenged to solve a series of tests and puzzles which rewards them with puzzle pieces that are needed to access the next area. A wide range of Silent Hill elements and adversaries make a welcome return as the player finds out more about the book, and in multiplayer mode players work together in a quest to gather the puzzle pieces and conquer the huge boss creatures which punctuate the gameplay. Silent Hill: Book of Memories also allows users to share Items between characters, including items to restore lost health and to boost endurance. With a soundtrack by Dexter composer Daniel Licht, Silent Hill: Book of Memories opens a new chapter on terror, as players become embroiled in another terrifying visit to KONAMI’s horror series. The game will be available as both a physical product and to download via PlayStation(R)Network.
